Why Most People Get AI Wrong (And How to Fix It)

A second grader stood in front of her class and read a book she wrote herself. Five kids raised their hands and asked if they could buy it. A woman in her 70s handed over a folder of poetry she had carried her whole life and said, "Publish these someday." Dozens of people who thought their book would die inside them finally became authors. In this episode, Jake sits down with the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Momentum Tech, Ed Garza. Ed has spent over 20 years in digital marketing, built over 100 custom AI applications and leads a global community of 9,000 paid users and 40,000 members.

But this conversation goes far beyond AI. Ed breaks down what most people get wrong, what you should never use it for, and why SEO is dead. Then he opens up about the dad who threw buckets of baseballs at him every Saturday and taught him to never give up. The catfish the size of a nine year old. The friend named Margaret who loved margaritas. The day he found his wife. And the night at 17 when a headache he had carried for years disappeared during a prayer and he felt a hand on his head that no one could see.If you are curious about AI, scared of it, or already using it and wondering if you are doing it right, this episode is for you.⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 | The Book That Would Have Died Inside You 1:00 | Dad Joke: What Do You Call a Computer That Sings? 1:27 | What Most People Get Wrong About AI 5:20 | Put On the Leverage Lens 8:38 | What Is an Agent Loop? 11:50 | Do Agents Hallucinate? 16:04 | Will AI Replace Your Job? 16:44 | How to Spot a Real AI Expert 19:11 | Who Would You Trust to Build Your Dream House? 23:22 | Can You Get Rich Quick With AI? 27:25 | Jack of All Trades vs. The Knife Block 34:27 | Why AI Agrees With You Too Much 36:31 | What You Should Never Use AI For 38:25 | Build Your Own AI Focus Group 43:59 | Yelling at ChatGPT 46:58 | An MVP in Days.
