3 Key (Underrated) Skills in the Age of AI | The Transition from the Information Era to the Frequency Era

Leadership is evolving in real time with the rapid rise of AI. In this episode, Chris Walker joins Omar Khateeb to explore the seismic shift from the Information Era to the Frequency Era—and why the next generation of leaders will be measured not by what they know, but by the energy they transmit.

Drawing from Chris’s own transformation—from building and exiting Refine Labs to launching ENCODED—he unpacks how leadership, performance, and fulfillment are moving beyond IQ and EQ into a new dimension: Frequency.

Together, they explore:

• The leap from IQ (knowledge) → EQ (emotional intelligence) → Frequency as the ultimate measure of leadership value

• Why a leader’s internal state and frequency inevitably shapes team performance

• Discipline as identity alignment, not willpower, and why most resolutions fail without this shift

• How to audit habits, beliefs, and relationships to unlock transformation

• The collapse of middle management and rise of high-frequency leadership

• Why future communities will organize around frequency rather than status or wealth

Whether you’re leading a team, building a company, or pursuing personal mastery, this conversation offers a roadmap for thriving in the Frequency Era where the greatest advantage you can develop is the energy you embody.
