Dream Big, Build Small: Creating AI-Powered Gin and Transforming Organizations with Maarten Mantje
Update: 2026-01-08
Description
What happens when you ask AI to create a gin that tastes like "Dutch Summer"? Maarten Mantje shares how he and a machine created an award-winning gin recipe that impressed a global master distiller. But this conversation goes far beyond booze.
We explore how two people with a machine can now create products that traditionally required entire teams, the three domains of AI adoption (Ideate, Automate, Innovate), and why most AI initiatives fail.
The most provocative insight? Every leader should ask: "How will AI destroy my business?" Only by understanding the threat can you design what comes next.
You'll learn:
- How AI created the "Dutch Summer" gin recipe
- Why "two guys and a machine" is reshaping competition
- The three domains of AI adoption and why most organizations get stuck
- How to use AI capability cards to unlock organizational thinking
- The one question every leader must ask about AI in 2026
