Psychology, not technology, is driving the AI trade, says Journey 1 Advisors' Snyder on ...

The AI noise isn't about technology right now. It's about fear of missing out.

A financial advisor made headlines this week saying psychology — not the actual tech — is driving the entire AI boom. That's worth sitting with for a moment.

Because if you bought an AI tool that nobody on your team uses, you weren't sold a solution. You were sold the anxiety of falling behind. That's a different thing entirely.

Here's what this means for you as a business owner. When everyone's buying because everyone else is buying, the smart move is to pause. Not permanently. Just long enough to ask one simple question: what specific problem do I need solved this quarter?

That question cuts through 90% of the hype. It turns "which AI tool is best" into "which tool fixes this one bottleneck in my workflow." Suddenly the decision gets a lot smaller. And a lot less risky.

This week, write down the single most repetitive task your team complains about. Just one. That's your AI starting point — not a platform, not a strategy, not a transformation. One task. One fix. One win.

What's the AI tool you bought that never got used — and looking back, what do you think actually went wrong?
