In this début episode, I sit down with Alastair McDermott of Human Spark AI, to explore how care providers can start their journey into AI.

Alastair shares his journey from building websites to becoming a leading voice on practical AI adoption. He discusses how small care providers, business leaders, and frontline teams can begin using AI effectively, ethically, and without getting overwhelmed.

Topics We Cover:

  • The surprising speed of AI development—and why it’s different this time
  • Where care providers can find quick wins (and big wins) with AI
  • Creating a culture of experimentation inside care teams
  • Addressing fears: job loss, mistakes, and ethical risks
  • The power of prompts and practical steps to build AI literacy
  • Why doing nothing is the biggest risk of all

Whether you're a CEO, care manager, or just AI-curious, this conversation will help you cut through the noise, build clarity, and start seeing where AI fits into the future of care.

Subscribe for more episodes as we unpack how AI can support – not replace – the human side of care.
