Hard to believe, but apparently some good stories can be told even without me. I guess I'm not the conditio sine qua nonfor a great conversation... a good guest is, and Sean Martin, CISSP can certainly hold the wheel.

I wasn't available, and I missed this one but I'm more than happy to help spread the word about yet another fantastic Brand Story told via Studio C60 / ITSPmagazine. This one's worth your attention.

Julian Hamood from TrustedTech joins Sean to talk about something most organizations are getting dangerously wrong: #AI readiness.

Here's the uncomfortable truth—AI doesn't clean up your mess. It makes it louder. Faster. More confident-sounding. And potentially more damaging.

Data scattered across personal drives, legacy servers, and random SharePoint sites? AI will find it.

Inconsistent permissions nobody remembers setting up? AI will exploit them. Architectural spaghetti connecting clouds, on-prem systems, and #SaaS platforms that were never meant to talk to each other? AI will inherit every flaw and present the results with the certainty of an oracle.

This conversation digs into what real readiness looks like—data classification, access controls, architectural clarity, and governance that doesn't get bypassed because someone in sales wanted a shiny new copilot.

Watch. Listen. Think before you deploy.

Willpower is real—but unreliable.

It doesn’t scale.

It doesn’t protect.

It won’t hold your rest.

But your system can.

AI Groundwork == Automation.
Automate or Fossilize.

There's a delightful little study from McKinsey - they say automation boosts productivity by ~40%, slashes costs by ~50%.
But sure, keep doing your 17-step manual deployment and team standups to plan the next team standup.

Companies keep adding more agility, more process, more micromanagement, more Team Members.
Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, but with Jira tickets.
All in a glorious effort… Not to solve root causes.

Here’s the raw truth:
If your competitor automates first,
lowers prices,
scales like a virus on caffeine…
You're toast. Gluten-free if that makes you feel better.

You can't catch up.
Not when your developers are duct-taping new features onto a legacy monolith that’s older than half your interns.
You don't need more meetings.
You need fewer humans doing robotic work, and more humans solving human problems.

Let's make one thing painfully clear:
Automation isn't optional. It's not a feature, it's the operating system of survival.

You can't do anything wrong by starting automation.
You can only oversleep, drool on your quarterly reports, and wake up with a competitor eating your market share like cold pizza at 3 AM.

I've automated entire teams in the past.
Poof. Gone.
Their tasks now done better, faster, without needing coffee, motivation, or "mental health days".
Deploy with a button?
Yes. It exists.
You're welcome.

Automation reduced our tech stack. Fewer tools, fewer errors, fewer prayers to the CI/CD gods.

Now ask yourself:
What does your company really sell?
Disney sells memories.
Apple sells innovation.
Nike sells ambition.
Amazon sells comfort.

And you?
Random metrics? Profit graphs?
A slowly dying system wrapped in buzzwords?

Automate.
Not for the "Future".
For next quarter.
Or don't.
Just make peace with your fate as a beautifully inefficient relic.

What does it have to do with AI? Well, you need free resources to include AI into your company and not just add it somewhere.
