What does AI transformation actually look like when it's done right?
After 300 episodes exploring AI's potential, it's time to go behind the scenes with one of the most advanced AI adoption stories we've seen. Not a Silicon Valley software company. Not an AI startup. A manufacturing business with 360 employees that has embedded AI into the way it works, builds, sells, and innovates.
In this special 300th episode, Isar Meitis sits down with Ari Supran, CEO of Sonance, to unpack the real-world journey of transforming an established business with AI. From leadership buy-in and employee training to custom-built applications, internal AI infrastructure, and company-wide adoption, this conversation offers a practical blueprint for business leaders looking to move beyond experimentation and into execution.
