AI Heroes: Jason Hauer on Agentic AI, Predictive Insight and Compounding Innovation ⚡
In this episode, Dave sits down with innovation veteran Jason Hauer, founder of The Garage Group and now builder of a portfolio of AI native companies, to unpack how enterprise teams can move beyond experiments and turn AI into real revenue, speed and market impact.
Jason shares what he looks for when backing AI products for modern enterprises: robust security and LLM agnostic builds, yes, but more importantly, predictive intelligence that surfaces cultural and category signals early, automation that removes the bottom 80% of manual work and execution engines that take ideas all the way to shelf.
We also dive into:
• Agentic AI as an outcomes engine, from always on search to hands free concepting, testing and go to market
• Why leadership mindset, curiosity, experimentation and fluency now outperforms classic process optimization
• Predictive insight in the wild, including cultural trend detection such as GLP 1, flavor and ingredient foresight and faster retail sell in
• Avoiding new bottlenecks by pairing AI acceleration with partners who can execute at the same speed
• Compounding advantage, capturing and connecting learnings so portfolios get smarter, Oura style feedback loops
• Rethinking ROI, start with use cases linked to the P&L, iterate in public and scale what works
• How answer engines and agentic shopping will change brand discovery and why marketers must adapt now
If you lead insights, innovation or brand growth and you’re ready to shift from pilots to pipelines, this conversation is a practical playbook for building AI systems that predict, decide and ship.
