#199: AI Answers - Do Custom GPTs Still Matter? AI Output Validation, 2026 Job Disruption, Preventing Burnout, and Build vs. Buy

There is no shortcut for AI verification, and that's a good thing.

Paul Roetzer and Cathy McPhillips answer 15 questions business leaders continue asking again and again.
