E14: Mastering AI Without Losing Your Voice, Value, or Vision

In this keynote episode of AI for Business, I kick off our live three-day event with an honest look at what AI is really doing to the workforce—and how to make sure you’re not left behind. This isn’t about fear; it’s about opportunity. I break down how AI is not replacing people, it’s replacing tasks—and the people who learn how to use it will rise above the rest.

You’ll hear stories from behind the scenes: how I created this entire keynote presentation in minutes using AI, why systems matter more than tools, and the three pillars of becoming irreplaceable in the age of AI. I also walk you through a powerful “million dollar notebook” exercise to help you maximize your time and focus at any event. This session is packed with mindset shifts, implementation tips, and a roadmap to stay ahead of the curve.
