About This Podcast
I’ve seen AI deliver million-dollar breakthroughs and I’ve seen it crash and burn.
I’m Vivienne Wei, COO of Salesforce Unified Agentforce Platform. I’m pulling back the curtain on the wins, the flops, and the leadership calls that make or break AI transformation.
Each episode, I sit down with executives and builders in the trenches of AI from unicorn founders to Fortune 100 CTOs. They’ll share what worked, what failed, and what they’d never do again.
No hype. No doomscrolling. Just the unfiltered playbook for leading—and surviving—in the age of AI.
Your next AI hero story or headache might be right here.
