AI is everywhere, and depending on who you listen to, it’s either going to make our working lives dramatically better or completely destroy our careers. I’m replaying a conversation I had with the rock star of consulting, Alan Weiss, on Talk the Walk. We called it Winning the AI Wrestling…

This week on Talk the Walk, we’re talking about what it actually takes to work with AI without being replaced by it. - How do you use AI to make your work better, faster and more interesting? - What should you actually be delegating to AI, and what absolutely needs…

I recorded this one in Melbourne with my good friend Dr. Jason Fox (https://www.foxwizard.com/) , one of Australia's Keynote Speakers of the Year, where we'd spent a couple of days together crafting a keynote based on Work Fame. In this episode Jason and I talk through what we've actually been…
