Shawn Kanungo - AI Agents Are Here: How Leaders Should Think Bigger Now

Innovation strategist and keynote speaker Shawn Kanungo joins Matt Knight for a candid conversation on disruption, succession, and what the AI era means for business families. Shawn shares the personal story of stepping into his late father’s accounting practice during tax season and the lessons it taught him about systems, continuity, and why succession planning matters before you think you need it. 

From there, the conversation moves into the “AI paradox” in family enterprise, why trust and legacy may become the strongest moat left, and how AI agents are shifting work from planning and decks to real execution. 

If you want a clear-eyed, practical, and motivating take on how leaders can use this moment to think bolder and move faster without losing their humanity, this episode is for you.
