Episode #70. Will Today’s Students Redefine Entrepreneurship? AI, Agency, and New Roles: A Conversation With Raushan Gross

AI is now at the leading edge of value creation, where creativity, innovation and new business thinking will exercise great leverage. Entrepreneurs - and especially young entrepreneurs unburdened with the baggage of old business models - will lead the value creation revolution. 

Dr. Raushan Gross is a professor, author, and expert in AI, in business systems, and in entrepreneurship, all of which he is teaching to students in preparing them to enter a rapidly evolving marketplace. With Hunter Hastings, he explores how AI can empower these young entrepreneurs, and why agency—not technology—is the driver of progress, especially for new startups and small businesses who embrace technology and automation without losing their human advantage.

Dr. Gross shares how entrepreneurial thinking must evolve in a world of predictive algorithms, and how leaders can build businesses that remain adaptive, authentic, and focused on value creation.

Key insights include:

• Why entrepreneurs must focus on agency over automation—and how to stay proactive in a reactive world.
  
  
• How small businesses can leverage AI as a strategic collaborator, not just a productivity tool.
  
  
• Why the new economic advantage isn’t size, but speed, flexibility, and intentionality.
  
  

If you want to lead with clarity in an AI-enabled world, this episode offers the mindset shift and tools to help you do it.
