The age of intelligent machines is here, but in a world of avatars, automation, and algorithms, what does it mean to really connect?
In this episode of Human and the Machine, I sit down with Ash Phillips, founder of Rebellious co, startup mentor to over 1,000 founders, and a true champion of the unreasonably ambitious. From building one of the UK’s most human-centered startup communities to mentoring founders in a rapidly changing world, Ash shares why emotional intelligence might just become our greatest competitive edge.
We talk about:
- The future of ambition in an AI-driven world
- What “people-first” really means when automation scales
- How to build authentic, human-centered communities
- Why EQ might matter more than IQ
- And how the legacy we leave will be defined by how we made others feel .
This one’s for the rebels, the builders, and anyone trying to stay human while everything else speeds up.
