AI ≠ Strategy with Jeremy Korst

from North Star Leaders · host Lindsay Pedersen

AI is everywhere. Is your business actually using it with purpose, or just chasing the hype? In this episode, Lindsay sits down with Jeremy Korst, many time CMO and executive, to unpack the real relationship between strategy, brand, and AI. They get into why most companies are getting this wrong, how brand becomes the ultimate decision-making filter, and what leaders need to do right now to avoid adding to the noise. You’ll hear them discuss: Why AI isn’t a strategy and what happens when companies treat it like one How brand becomes a shortcut for decision-making across an entire organization The growing problem of “AI slop” and why most content is about to get worse, not better How strong brands can actually stand out more in a world flooded with cheap content The tension between analytical strategy frameworks and human-centered brand thinking What’s changing in market research thanks to AI and what still can’t be replaced Why even the biggest companies with massive budgets still struggle with prioritization Resources: Jeremy Korst on LinkedIn Lindsay Pedersen - Contact me to tell me who you'd like to hear as a guest! | Connect with me on LinkedIn

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. The A91 Football Podcast dbellew Covering the north east football league & local junior football in the Louth/Meath area NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
