Government bureaucracy isn’t exactly the sexiest problem in defense—but it’s one of the most painful. In this episode, host Tyler Sweatt sits down with Zachary Long, Founder of ConductorAI and former Palantir leader, to talk about automating the “not-sexy stuff” — the paperwork, approvals, and red tape that touch every corner of the defense ecosystem. Because whether you’re in uniform, in industry, or in government, the weight of inefficient processes slows everyone down. ConductorAI’s out to change that. They dig into: ⚙️ What ConductorAI’s automating (and why it matters) 👀 Showing up on-site >>>> 🧠 The challenge of solving problems everyone feels but no one owns Listen wherever you get your podcasts 🎧 Youtube: https://lnkd.in/ezNCAMAD Apple: https://lnkd.in/deS3KJVn Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dJuNEChi #defensetech #compliance #govtech
