There is a strange comfort we find when a new AI tool isn’t quite perfect yet. We see a wonky design or a clunky piece of copy generated by a prompt, and we breathe a quiet sigh of relief, thinking, Okay, my job is safe for a little longer. But the reality is, this is the worst that AI will ever be. And instead of waiting around for tech to become flawless, the real challenge for entrepreneurs is shifting our mindset today.
In this episode, I’m continuing my conversation with John T. Meyer, and we are diving deep into the messy, exciting, and rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence. We explore why the pendulum is swinging away from deep technical coding and back toward generalists, creators, and big-picture thinkers. If you can articulate a vision, communicate a problem, and stay curious, you hold the ultimate technical skillset for the future.
We also talk about redefining success for the future. How do we guide our kids when the career paths of tomorrow haven't even been invented yet? And as entrepreneurs, should we simply delegate AI to a team member or get our hands dirty and stay intensely curious?
If this conversation resonates, consider it your gentle nudge to move past the intimidation. Pick one repetitive task in your business or personal life this week, sit down with a tool, and just start tinkering.
