AI is strip mining the future

Everyone's celebrating the productivity gains of AI. Solo founders building businesses overnight, massive automation gains. The wins are visible and intoxicating, but the cost is invisible.

"Do more reorgs" with Brian Guthrie

Instead of bringing you another analysis of a leadership topic laced through and through with my opinions, I thought it would be fun to share a new perspective. This time, from my old friend and former start-up colleague Brian Guthrie. Brian recently started a company to help tech leaders visualize and execute smooth re-orgs, so we talked about that.

Brian's company, OrgSpace, can be found here: https://orgspace.io/ Learn more about Daniel Terhorst-North here: https://dannorth.net/about/ The book "Dynamic Reteaming" by Heidi Helfand can be found here: https://amzn.to/3p8BAd5 Read and subscribe to the newsletter version of this show here: https://thecuriousleader.work/posts/do-more-reorgs-with-brian-guthrie/ Find out more about my coaching work here: https://aaronbieber.coach
