AI doesn’t fail because of technology—it fails because of leadership gaps. Melinda deHoll joins Orlando Insight Group to explore trust, judgment, and what leaders must get right when implementing AI at scale.

Great ideas fail every day — not because they’re wrong, but because leaders avoid hard decisions.In this episode of Orlando Insights, Misty Carson challenges common leadership myths and explains why clarity, ownership, and execution—not buzzwords—separate real impact from stalled initiatives.

I’m joined by Terezija Semenski to discuss why so many AI projects fail to produce ROI and the critical role training and education play in fixing that. As the founder of Stack Labs and a LinkedIn Learning instructor with 250,000+ students worldwide, she offers a rare, global perspective on what actually works.

In this episode of the Orlando Insights Podcast, host Henry Clavo sits down with Anna Sajer, Technology Development Module Engineer at Intel, to explore what continuous learning really means in the fast-moving world of semiconductor engineering.

Anna shares her journey from UC Berkeley to Intel, her approach to innovation and leadership, and how curiosity drives growth both in and outside the lab.
She also opens up about mentoring through the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and why empowering others is central to progress in STEM.
