  • Most companies say they're doing AI. A surprising number are doing very little — and a Chief AI Officer at one of the world's largest automation platforms has the receipts to prove it. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Adam Field, Chief AI Officer at Tungsten Automation — a company serving 25,000 organizations including 40% of the Fortune 100 — about what separates real AI transformation from expensive spin. They get into why most enterprise AI pilots quietly die before they scale, what "boring AI" actually means and why it's the most important signal investors aren't paying attention to, and why the competitive moat that once made legacy software giants unassailable has effectively disappeared overnight.

  • ROI supersedes AI. That's the blunt verdict from Steve Lucas, Chairman and CEO of Boomi, who has spent 30 years at the top of enterprise software. With OpenAI burning $3 billion a month and Gartner projecting that up to 40% of enterprise AI projects will be abandoned by 2027, the blank-check era for AI spending is over — and the reckoning is coming faster than most investors realize. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren sits down with Steve to unpack what Wall Street is missing: why the next wave of AI winners won't be the flashy model makers, how to spot the difference between a real AI strategy and expensive spin, and the single metric that separates transformative technology from hype.

  • Every quarter recently, semiconductor stocks keep churning out incredible numbers. And every quarter, it seems as those companies somehow “miss expectations”. The most recent example was when Samsung Electronics reported a 1,900% increase in profits, the stock dropped so much it halted trading on the Korean composite index. Lou, Matt, and Tyler dig into the expectations game Wall Street is playing and the underlying trends still supporting it. Plus, defense companies are making moves at the NATO summit and investor questions.

  • Every market downturn will test you. Not your strategy, not your portfolio — you. And the investors who come out the other side aren't the ones who had the best picks going in. They're the ones who learned how to take a hit, stay in the game, and get smarter because of it. Motley Fool's Tom Gardner sits down with Louis Zamperini — World War II survivor, Olympic runner, and the man whose story inspired the bestselling book Unbroken — to talk about why the people who overcome the most become the hardest to beat, and why the moment everything in your portfolio drops 50 percent is actually the most important moment of your investing life.
