    Introducing Are We Entering a New Age of Creativity with the Help of AI? from Cold Call. Follow the show: Cold Call In March 2024, The Atlantic announced a strategic content and product partnership with artificial intelligence giant OpenAI. OpenAI would license The Atlantic’s content to train its models and respond to user queries, while The Atlantic would receive a fee, privileged access to OpenAI’s technology, and “premium” positioning within the tech giant. At the time, over 70 similar deals had been struck between publishers and AI companies. The Atlantic’s journalists, however, were incensed, concerned that partnering with OpenAI was “a devil’s bargain.” The New York Times had also just sued the tech giant for allegedly using 16 million pieces of the Times’ copyrighted content without permission to train its large language models. Laurene Powell Jobs, the billionaire owner of The Atlantic, had to consider what was in the magazine’s best financial interest and what impact a continued partnership could have on the magazine’s journalism—and more broadly on the ideas landscape as a whole. But, what responsibility did Powell Jobs have to protect creativity and expression? Was Jobs undermining The Atlantic’s reputation, or was she bringing a new business model to bear on an industry facing major headwinds? Harvard Business School Professor Caroline Elkins joins host Brian Kenny to discuss the case, “The Atlantic and OpenAI.” They explore the question, “Is AI creative?” and how the answer affects not only journalism as we know it, but considerations for whether we can harness AI to enter an age of increased creativity for humankind.

    Unstriving, Authentic Success & Rethinking What It Means To Achieve

    Success can be a powerful motivator. But for people who have spent their lives chasing the next goal, achievement can eventually become its own source of pressure. In this episode, we discuss this important topic with Caleb Campbell, former NFL linebacker, West Point graduate, Army officer, keynote speaker, and author of the upcoming book Unstriving: 12 Lessons on Authentic Success From a Recovering Over-Achiever, releasing September 22. Caleb shares how a lifetime of pursuing achievement ultimately forced him to reconsider what success actually meant. The goals he worked so hard to reach didn't necessarily deliver the freedom or fulfillment he expected, leading him to explore a different approach — one focused less on constant striving and more on alignment, self-awareness, and intentional living… The conversation explores: Why achievement doesn't always lead to fulfillment. The mindset and identity of the chronic overachiever. How fear of failure can shape our definition of success. The relationship between performance, self-worth, and identity. Drawing from his experiences in professional football, the military, and leadership development, Caleb brings a unique perspective to the pressures faced by high performers. His work centers on helping individuals and organizations develop the internal capacity to navigate uncertainty, sustain performance, and respond to pressure with greater clarity.
