In this episode of Rich and Remote, Alex and Karla Booth sit down with David Chung, a Fractional Chief AI Officer, to discuss what leadership looks like in the age of AI. They explore why most AI rollouts fail, how leaders can create a culture where teams embrace AI instead of fearing it, why curiosity matters more than technical expertise, and how organizations can adopt AI in a way that drives measurable business results.
