AI Beyond The Hype Part II: Building Your Digital Dream Team

AI is everywhere — but clarity is rare.

Join Ethan King for Part 2 of AI Beyond the Hype, an interactive, founder-focused session that moves past trends and tools and into how entrepreneurs can actually think about, evaluate, and use AI in their businesses.

This session is designed for leaders who want to make smarter decisions about AI — not chase shiny objects or feel pressure to “keep up.” Whether you’ve experimented with AI already or are still figuring out where it fits, Ethan will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters.

You do not need to have attended Part 1 to get value from this session.

• How to evaluate AI tools through a strategic lens (not FOMO)
• Where AI is actually delivering value for small and mid-sized businesses
• Common mistakes founders make when adopting AI — and how to avoid them
• How to think about AI as a leadership and systems decision, not just a tech add-on
• Practical frameworks for deciding if, where, and how AI fits in your business

• Clearer judgment about AI opportunities and limits
• A grounded approach to AI that aligns with your business goals
• Language and confidence to lead smarter AI conversations with your team
• Fewer distractions — and better decisions

This session is intentionally conversational, practical, and rooted in real business experience — not demos, not predictions, and not hype.

• EO Members
• EO Accelerators
• Key Executives
• Strategic Alliance Partners
• SLPs

Founders and leaders who want clarity, not overwhelm.

• Snacks, water, and coffee will be provided
• We’ll gather for a casual happy hour nearby following the session to keep the conversation going
