How to Create AI-Empowered Leaders with Wipfli | Tiffany Karlin & Nate Sundheimer

Artificial intelligence is everywhere—but most leaders still aren’t sure how to use it effectively. In this episode of Bridge the Gap, we sit down with Tiffany Karlin and Nate Sundheimer of Wipfli to unpack what it truly means to be an AI-empowered leader in senior living.

Rather than focusing solely on tools, Tiffany and Nate emphasize that successful AI adoption starts with a new mindset and self-awareness. They explore why culture, not technology, is the biggest barrier to transformation, how leaders can balance innovation with compliance, and why delegating work to both humans and AI is becoming essential.

We unpack:

1. Why AI adoption starts with leadership mindset, not tools
2. The concept of the “AI-empowered leader”
3. Delegating work to humans vs. AI
4. Offensive vs. defensive AI strategies in senior living
