"The more technology we have at our disposal, the more human we need to be."

Everyone is talking about AI tools, prompts, and automation, but few are talking about the human side of transformation.

In this episode of Built to Finish, Steven sits down with AI educator, leadership trainer, and Tacit Edge CEO Christa Hill to discuss what truly separates organizations that thrive with AI from those that struggle to keep up.

They explore why curiosity may be the most valuable skill of the future, how leaders can create cultures that embrace experimentation, why failure is essential to innovation, and what companies are getting wrong about AI adoption.

Christa also shares practical strategies for creating AI-powered workflows, developing personal AI assistants, preparing the next generation for an AI-driven future, and why emotional intelligence may become the most important workplace skill of all.

Whether you're a founder, executive, manager, or professional trying to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of AI, this conversation offers a refreshingly human perspective on what comes next.
