In this episode of BizBlend, host Yusuf sits down with Giorgio Natili to unpack what real leadership looks like in an AI-first world. Giorgio challenges the “AI replaces humans” mindset and explains why the best leaders use AI to help teams do more, not justify cutting people.

This conversation is for leaders, builders, and curious professionals who want to scale AI responsibly without sacrificing trust, privacy, or human creativity. You will hear practical signals of burnout, how to build a culture that embraces learning through failure, and why “digital dignity” must be a leadership standard, not a nice-to-have.

Giorgio Natili is Head of AI and Platform Engineering, with leadership experience across Mozilla, Amazon, Capital One, and OPEC Systems. He also has a creative background as a professional windsurfer and music experience curator.

• Use AI to help teams do more, not to reduce headcount

• Create incentives that make AI usage safe to admit and discuss

• Normalize learning, being wrong, and smart experimentation

• Watch for burnout via slower delivery and rising technical debt

• If innovation talk disappears, stagnation (and frustration) is close

• Lead with privacy and “digital dignity” because most users are unaware of the risks

Connect with Giorgio on LinkedIn. His website GiorgioNAT.com is planned for later this year.

In this BizBlend Podcast episode, host Sana sits down with John Michael Thomas, AI strategy consultant, fractional Chief AI Officer, and author of Lead AI with Confidence. They unpack why most AI initiatives fail and why the fix is rarely “better tools” and more often better leadership.

This conversation is for CEOs, founders, and non-technical leaders who feel AI overwhelm, are tired of hype cycles, and want a clear path to real business value. You’ll learn how to treat AI like delegation, remove adoption friction, and focus your next 90 days on outcomes that actually matter.

John Michael Thomas is an AI strategy consultant and fractional Chief AI Officer. He’s the author of the #1 bestseller Lead AI with Confidence and helps leaders build AI into how teams work, without becoming technical experts.

• Most AI failure comes from treating it like a tech training problem instead of a management problem

• Start with a real business problem, then confirm AI is the right solution

• Adoption breaks down when teams lack trust, clarity, and psychological safety

• Reduce friction: provide approved paid tools, clear guidelines, and permission to experiment

• Build a “community of practice” to lead pilots before scaling org-wide

• Use AI yourself first to understand what it can and cannot do

In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with Dylan Clayton Bost, founder of SunnyHQ, to unpack what happens when “successful on paper” quietly turns into burnout in real life. They explore how founders can rethink growth, rebuild after misalignment, and design a business that supports the life they actually want.

This conversation is for entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders who feel stuck in hustle mode, crave clarity, and want systems that create calm instead of constant urgency. You will walk away with practical principles to lead with alignment, reduce friction, and keep the human side of business at the center.

Dylan Clayton Bost is the founder of SunnyHQ, a human-first WordPress hosting and support company. He shares lessons from running a successful creative agency that later led to burnout, and how he rebuilt with clearer values, calmer leadership, and simpler systems.

• Use an “80/20” gut check: if more than 20% of the work feels like a chore, pay attention early.

• Write down what you want personally (time, freedom, family) before scaling the business goals.

• Build culture intentionally before systems “build themselves” as the team grows.

• Lead with a simple framework: be clear with your word, avoid assumptions, do not take things personally, and do your best.

• Use automation to support people, not replace them, and keep humans available when problems feel stressful.

• Calm leadership improves decision-making, customer experience, and team performance under pressure.

Brian Hurtak is a Fortune 100 executive, husband, father, and author of The PlaySheet: A Simple Resource for Overloaded Professionals.

• Overwhelm comes from overload, not lack of knowledge

On BizBlend Podcast, host Sana sits down with Kathie Feng, founder of Signal Growth, to break down why real growth is engineered, not hoped for. If you are entering a new year asking what actually moved the needle, this episode gives you a clearer way to think about scaling without losing your edge.

This is for founders and SMB owners who have momentum but want repeatable systems. Kathie explains how to tighten your ICP, build smarter pricing tiers, expand through segmentation, and use AI as an amplifier, not a replacement, so you can scale revenue and confidence with intention.

Kathie Feng is the founder and growth architect at Signal Growth. She has 13+ years leading growth across brands including Corona, Modelo (Constellation Brands), Pave, Discover, Capital One, and Shiseido.

• Do not blame the product first, validate ICP fit before you rebuild anything

• Use customer segmentation to scale beyond one audience ceiling

• Build pricing tiers based on willingness to buy, not founder gut feel

• Treat GTM as a living system, not a launch checklist

• Use AI to reduce workflow friction, but judge it by training quality and outcomes
