        <itunes:summary>Forked Reality is a podcast about AI, data, and the future of business intelligence — hosted by Tim and Shea. The flagship. The anchor. The one people subscribe to.

The name comes from the idea that AI creates branching paths in how we think about technology, business, and the world. Every innovation forks reality — the path we were on splits, and suddenly there are two versions of the future. One where we adapt. One where we don&#39;t. Tim and Shea explore those forks together.</itunes:summary>
