In this episode of The Fast Slow Motion Podcast, Eric Housh talks with Fast Slow Motion Director of AI Zack Terry about why AI in Action exists and what business leaders actually need from AI conversations right now. At the center of the discussion is a familiar tension: too much noise, too much pressure, and not enough practical guidance.

They unpack what AI readiness really means, why process and context matter more than hype, how clean data affects trust and adoption, and where leaders should start if they want real ROI from AI.

This conversation is for leaders who want to cut through the noise, identify smart starting points, and make better decisions about how AI fits into their business.

In this episode, Eric Housh talks with Zack Terry about what the Salesforce Spring '26 release actually means for business leaders. Instead of walking through features line by line, they focus on five updates that directly impact scale, efficiency, risk, and return.

They explore AI-generated workflows, performance observability, AI consumption tracking, generative engine optimization, and platform retirements. The through line is maturity: how leaders pair speed with accountability, visibility with governance, and automation with clear process design.

This conversation is for leaders who want their systems to be predictable, measurable, and resilient as they grow.

This episode is for founders and executives facing a plateau, a step change in responsibility, or rising pressure as the stakes increase.
