AI Agents Among Us

Will Johnson and Meghan Fasano

Welcome to AI Agents Among Us — the podcast where bold ideas, emerging tech, and sharp design collide.

Meghan spent 18 years and Will over 7 years working at Microsoft, where they partnered to support Microsoft’s largest enterprise accounts—Will is now at Google, while Meghan is a consultant at Peerless Group, helping enterprise and government contractors adopt AI using design thinking and the Jobs-to-Be-Done methodology to drive strategic impact.

Each week, we riff on the future of AI, data, and digital storytelling, diving into how agents (yes, the ones shaping your search, your shopping, and your world) are changing industries, creativity, and everything in between. It's unfiltered, unexpected, and unapologetically nerdy. Tune in, spark your next big idea, and laugh with us along the way.
