S4E12 Teaser | Are AI Experts Actually Using AI?

Exploring practical AI adoption, engineering workflows, productivity gains, and the growing gap between AI theory and real-world implementation.

In this episode of The Blueprint Tour, hosts Kenneth Shultz and Carter Huddleston sit down with Nick Heim, Senior Innovation Engineer at StructureCare, for a candid conversation about how engineers are actually using AI today.

From replacing traditional Google searches with context-aware AI tools to automating engineering workflows and boosting productivity, the discussion dives into the real-world side of AI adoption, far beyond social media hype and “thought leadership.”

The episode also explores why some companies are still resisting AI, how younger engineers view these tools differently, and why practical implementation matters more than theory.

Recorded live at the IIBEC Metro New York Chapter’s Building Smarter with AI conference in New York.

🎧 Full episode drops Tuesday, May 26th, 2026.
