🎙️ EP63 - Is the AI bubble coming? And if so… who do you trust to deal with it?

🤔 Investors are pouring billions into AI. But what if this is dot-com bubble 2.0?

👉 Who will spot the real risks — hidden inside the code, and inside the culture?

In this Forge of Unicorns episode, Maria de la Puente, one of the most respected investor advisors, reveals why today’s boards must evolve fast — or risk flying blind.

From the boardroom to the engineering floor, Mike & Maria expose the trust gaps no spreadsheet can fix:

👉 Why trusted TECH advisors and NEDs are now critical to governance

👉 Why behavioral signals are the new frontier for evaluating AI-driven organizations

👉 Why the next bubble may already be inflating under our feet.

🎧 Episode 63: Is the AI Bubble Coming? Who Do You Trust to Deal With It?

Boards must evolve fast — because AI bets can’t be governed the old way.

You can’t govern code, architecture, or behavioral dynamics with spreadsheets alone.

The smartest investors know it.

They’re onboarding trusted TECH advisors and NEDs — and building governance that can scale with this new era.

Will your board evolve — or be blindsided?

🎙️ Key Quote from Maria de la Puente:

“We don’t want to repeat the same story of the dot-com bubble.

We’re putting money into AI — but we don’t know about AI.

And these people know about AI — but they don’t know about business.

So how can we trust these investments?”

🧠 Why This Matters — Right Now

The AI bubble risk is real.

And most boards are not ready.

Governing AI-driven organizations requires more than dashboards.

It requires behavioral governance, technical mastery — and the wisdom to see through the hype.

The boards that evolve now → will lead.

The boards that delay → will be left behind.

In this episode, we show how to evolve — before it’s too late.
