A.I. or DIE: Why Businesses Must Act with Urgency in 2026

In this powerful episode of The Bill Hauser Podcast, Bill delivers an urgent message to business owners and leaders everywhere: adapt to artificial intelligence—or get left behind. As the world enters what he calls the “new Industrial Revolution,” Bill breaks down why AI isn’t just another tool but a complete paradigm shift that will redefine how businesses operate, compete, and survive in 2026 and beyond.

From consumer behavior changes like the rise of ChatGPT’s web browser to internal transformations that make companies faster, leaner, and more innovative, Bill explains how the smartest leaders are turning fear into fuel. He also shares his bold internal strategy of making his company AI First—including launching an “AI Innovation Competition” where employees are challenged to “put their own department out of business” using AI.

If you’re ready to build urgency, take bold action, and lead through the revolution instead of reacting to it, this episode is your roadmap to surviving—and thriving—in the AI era.
