Description

Most AI conversations happen in boardrooms. This one happens where AI actually runs.

In Production is the podcast for CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, CDOs, and tech founders who have moved beyond the theory. The executives and builders making consequential decisions about AI inside real organizations, under real pressure, with real accountability.

Every episode, host Nick sits down with a practitioner who has actually shipped AI into production, fought the organizational battles, navigated the resistance, and earned the right to an opinion. Not consultants. Not analysts. Not keynote speakers. The engineers, executives, and leaders who carry the scars and the wisdom to prove it.

______________________________

What we cover:

- The gap between the AI demo and the AI deployment, and why most enterprises never cross it

- What experienced leaders actually discovered when they tried to automate decisions that lived entirely in someone's head

- Why data readiness, legacy infrastructure, and organizational alignment kill more AI programs than bad technology ever will

- What genuine AI transformation looks like across financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, legal intelligence, and enterprise software

- The honest conversation every technology executive needs to have internally before a single vendor is engaged or a single model is touched

______________________________

Who you will hear from:

Guests on In Production have shipped AI at organizations across financial services, banking, healthcare, manufacturing, entertainment, and enterprise technology. They have led teams of hundreds, managed P&Ls built on data products, launched agentic systems inside regulated industries, and navigated the full arc from whiteboard to incident report to scaled deployment.

These are not people with opinions about AI. These are people with earned experience in AI. The distinction is everything, and you will feel it in every conversation.

______________________________

Who this is for:

- CTOs and CIOs navigating enterprise AI adoption with zero tolerance for hype and full accountability for outcomes

- CISOs who need to understand how AI reshapes their risk landscape before the landscape reshapes itself

- CDOs building the data foundations that determine whether AI programs succeed or quietly collapse

- Tech Founders building in the enterprise AI space who want to understand precisely how sophisticated buyers think and decide

- Engineering Leaders who have been asked to deliver on AI and want the honest, unfiltered roadmap from the people who have already done it

- Investors who want clear signal on where enterprise AI is actually landing versus where the pitch decks say it will

Why In Production?

In software, being in production means one thing. It is real. It is live. It has to work. No more pilots running in isolation. No more proof of concepts that never ship. No more AI strategies that exist only inside a presentation.

This show is named after the only moment that matters. The moment AI stops being a promise and becomes a system that real organizations depend on, every single day. That is the conversation we are here to have.
