Summary

In today's episode: Two tech giants both bet big on AI this earnings season, but investors rewarded one and punished the other, and the reason has nothing to do with belief in the technology. Every major transformation follows the same arc: vision, investment, then a moment when people stop asking what you're building and start asking what it's actually doing. How a CEO found a clever way to prove progress before there were real numbers to point to. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. Jessica breaks down what Microsoft and Meta's earnings reveal about the shifting AI conversation, and what leaders can learn about giving employees proof that a transformation is working.
