Faisal Hoque: Transcend

Faisal Hoque is an award-winning entrepreneur and innovator and founder of SHADOKA and NextChapter. He is a three-time Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the books: Reinvent, Everything Connects, and Lift. He has just released his newest book: Transcend: Unlocking Humanity in the Age of AI*.

The most compelling use cases for AI aren’t people OR AI – it’s both. Leaders who learn how to partner with AI will almost certainly open doors that many others don’t. In this episode, Faisal and I explore (a few steps on) how to get started.

Key Points
  • While we think about working with AI as very different than working with people, similar mindsets and skill sets help us with both.
  • Partnering well with AI means asking better questions and being genuinely interested in the answers.
  • Experts are limited by their perspective. Beginners are open to possibilities. We should approach AI with a beginner’s mindset.
  • Using AI well means getting more comfortable with uncertainty. We need to own our ignorance.
  • Playful discovery helps with our intrinsic motivation to keep going. When using AI, find the fun that keeps you engaged.
  • This technology will do the logical work far better than any human. To partner well, work to increase your emotional intelligence.
