AI's New Era Innovation Strategies for Entrepreneurs
In this episode of the Beyond Normal Podcast, Kenny Groom sits down with Mbere Monjok, Technical Program Manager at Google, to talk about building real value in this new AI wave. Mbere shares the biggest mistake she sees founders make: leading with "we're AI-powered" instead of the problem they actually solve. She digs into where AI is delivering real ROI right now (turning unstructured, messy data into dashboards and decisions), why founders should treat AI as a thinking partner rather than just an input-output tool, and what trustworthy AI actually requires when the tech gets things wrong. The conversation also covers opportunity for Black founders in this moment, why distribution can outperform product, and why founders should choose quality over speed for the long game. If you're a founder trying to figure out what's signal and what's noise in AI right now, this episode will hit home.
