This is not the official second piece of this newsletter. Before I move into the next essay, I wanted to briefly return to something I touched on in the last post but did not fully unpack.
Previously, I wrote about the missing context layer in enterprise AI: why systems that can read documents and generate answers still struggle inside real organizations. The issue is not only information access. It is the lack of understanding around how work actually happens: who is trusted, who holds real influence, how decisions move, and where human judgment still matters.
This time, I want to focus more directly on the People layer. To me, this is where a large part of enterprise intelligence actually lives. Not just in content, but in relationships, expertise recognition, informal authority, and the social patterns that shape execution.
I decided to record this as a quick 7-minute podcast because some people prefer listening to ideas rather than reading them. I also wanted to see whether there is appetite for hearing more of this topic in audio form. :)
If this resonates, leave a thought or question. I would love to know what part of this feels most relevant, most controversial, or most worth unpacking further. I may address some of those directly in the official second piece of the newsletter.
