AI Is Changing Manufacturing Faster Than You Think | Len Ward, Commexis

Peter Parsons sits down with Len Ward, Managing Partner of Commexis, for a wide ranging conversation on AI in manufacturing. Len traces his path from Wall Street to digital marketing to leading a company that helps businesses shift from a "search and retrieve" mindset to a "solve my problem" one.

They dig into why B2B manufacturers are actually ahead of the curve on AI adoption, the rise of the "AI pilot" role inside factories, and why the best AI hires often come from within your own team rather than an outside resume. Len also shares his take on which jobs are safest from AI disruption (hint: anything tactile, like nursing or skilled trades), where he sees the biggest upside for AI in healthcare, and why he thinks the next wave of two to five person companies could disrupt entire industries.

This one covers a lot of ground: AI blueprints, business bottlenecks, the coming shakeup in company size and structure, and what it really means to build an "AI first" company instead of just bolting AI onto old processes.
