Your Biggest Threat to Scaling in 2026 Isn't AI — It's How You're Using It

Most founders think AI is the threat to their business. It's not. The real threat is that you are using AI to build a brand that AI itself could have built — optimized, replaceable and completely forgettable. In this episode of Running With Wolves, Savannah breaks down everything that has changed about how buyers find brands and make purchasing decisions in 2026, why 38% of shoppers are already using AI to decide what to buy, and exactly how she runs her entire content engine off AI while her sales have grown 50% year over date. Here's what this episode covers:  • Why your buyers aren't scrolling your feed anymore and where they actually are  • The two camps founders fall into with AI — and why both are getting it wrong • The four lessons Savannah uses to train AI like a team member not a content tool • Why AI is the engine and humans are the brand — and what flipping that means for your sales Apply to work with Savannah HERE: http://bit.ly/applywlfpodcast or DM her on Instagram @itssavannahjordan ( / itssavannahjordan ) with your takeaway.
