In this episode of the Let’s Talk Design Podcast, we sit down with Luke Pierce, founder of Boom Automations and AiAllstars, to explore how businesses can unlock the real return on investment of AI.

Luke’s journey from logistics and supply chain engineering to building two AI-focused companies gives him a unique perspective on where automation truly delivers value — and where most businesses go wrong. Having transformed over 75 teams through intelligent automation, Luke shares practical insights on spotting workflows that can be automated, balancing efficiency with creativity, and separating real AI impact from hype.

We also dive into his work at AiAllstars, where he teaches individuals and teams how to go from idea to a working automation in just seven days. From common AI myths to the future of human work, Luke breaks down what the next era of design, business, and technology will really look like.
