Brad Costanzo | AI Doesn’t Scale Businesses, Clarity Does
Mon Feb 02 2026
What if the real power of AI isn’t about chasing the latest tools, but about solving the right problem first?
In this episode, I sit down with Brad Costanzo to cut through the noise around artificial intelligence and bring the conversation back to something far more grounded and effective: bottlenecks. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by endless AI possibilities, Brad invites us to slow down, identify what’s actually constraining growth in our businesses, and apply AI with clarity and intention.
We explore how entrepreneurs can use simple frameworks to diagnose friction points, whether that’s marketing, customer support, decision-making, or operations, and then strategically apply AI as a force multiplier. This is a deeply human conversation about using technology to free up creativity, restore focus, and support smarter, more aligned growth, without losing the soul of the business.
We Also Discuss:
● The bottlenecks that reveal where growth is being constrained
● How AI works best when it solves a specific pain point
● Why clarity should precede any AI automation
● How AI amplifies creativity not replace it
● How strategic restraint creates faster results
