Where do we draw the line on holding tightly to the core things that make us who we are while letting go of things anchoring us to complacency?

This week, I'm diving into the world of innovation and self-reinvention with a special focus on the shadow AI casts over our personal and professional landscapes. To do this, I'm joined by industry leader and thinker Sid Mohasseb to have a conversation about the necessity of reinventing ourselves in the face of AI's transformative power.

We'll be shedding light on how we can not just survive but thrive by embracing change and leveraging AI to our advantage. We'll tackle the real strategies for innovation, the importance of a growth mindset, and the indispensable value of human creativity and resilience in an increasingly automated world.

No jargon, no buzzwords – just straight talk on navigating the challenges and seizing the opportunities presented by AI. Whether you're looking to lead the way or find your path in this new era, this conversation aims to equip you with the insights and inspiration to innovate rather than stagnate.
