EP235 AI 101 for Founder-Led Teams – The Building Blocks
Description
In this foundational solo episode, host Susan Diaz breaks down the three core concepts every founder-led team needs to understand to build a meaningful relationship with AI. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into AI or looking to sharpen your implementation strategy, this is your no-fluff starting point.
What you’ll Learn
📌 Why founder-led teams are uniquely positioned to thrive with AI - if they embrace literacy and implementation now.
📌 Why mindset is just as important as toolset.
📌 How to avoid the trap of chasing shiny new tools and instead build a strategy that aligns with your business.
Core Concepts Covered

🧩 Generative AI – The game-changer: from content to music, what it means to generate vs. predict.
🧩 Prompt Engineering – The real skill for entrepreneurs: how to speak to AI in a way that makes it useful and strategic.
🛠 Plus
→ How to stop thinking of AI as just a tech tool and start treating it like a strategic team member.
