The Truth About AI And Why Founders Cannot Wait with Piers Linney MBE

from Screw It Just DO It with Alex Chisnall Hosted by Alex Chisnall

Piers Linney MBE has spent years operating at the sharp end of business, investment, and technology. In this episode, recorded before his recent MBE award, Piers lays out a clear view of where AI is taking founders and why waiting is the biggest risk. He explains how AI already outperforms humans in speed, cost, and consistency across many cognitive tasks. The advantage now comes from knowing where humans still matter and where machines should take over. Founders who treat AI as a daily operating layer will move faster, build leaner teams, and make better decisions. Those who delay will struggle to catch up. This conversation is practical, grounded, and focused on action. It reflects why Piers was recognised with an MBE for services to business and entrepreneurship. Key Takeaways: • AI increases capacity without extra cost • Personalised content and voice agents boost revenue • AI uncovers insights hidden in everyday conversations • Founders who act early gain a long term advantage 🎧 New episodes of Screw It Just DO It drop every Tuesday & Thursday, so make sure you follow wherever you listen.
