AI isn't coming for your job.

Someone who's willing to learn faster than you is.

 

In this Inside Out episode, I explore a simple but confronting idea: in times of massive change, it's not the experts who win — it's the learners.

Inspired by Eric Hoffer's quote about learners inheriting the earth, this episode looks at how AI is accelerating the gap between peopl...

    Most leaders get stuck competing on better.

    Better service. Better price. Better results.

    But "better" puts you in the same box as everyone else.

    In this episode, I break down why different always beats better — and how the two-word brand concept helped me simplify and clarify my entire identity.

    Inside this episode:

    If you keep putting off a decision, you're already making one, and it's probably the wrong one.

    In this Inside Out episode, I unpack the Paradox of Choice. Why indecision keeps us stuck, how perfectionism disguises itself as "thinking it through," and a simple way to force clarity, fast.

    Ironically, I recorded this episode months ago… and then delayed publishing it. I told myself I needed t...

    Is AI coming for your job? And what should you do about it?

    If you think it's not going to happen to my job, I'm not at risk, you might just be the most vulnerable.

    One message I'm seeing a bit is an ad from Jack Delosa from the Entourage, who said "If you're a business owner, AI is not going to take your business, but a competitor with AI will."

    Writing a book.

    In my experience, so many people say they could if they wanted to, or should write one when you talk to them at a BBQ. But should you do it? 

    My thinking is, if you're talking about it, you should find a way to start doing it. Or stop lying to yourself that you will one day.

    The truth is for most of us, like many things out there, you have no idea what you are doing which is one of the reas...

    I start this inside out episode with a clip from the On Purpose Podcast with Jay Shetty interviewing Adam Grant which spoke to me when I saw it on Instagram this week.

    Adam said "So many people limit themselves by saying I dont want to self-promote." I think that creating content or art even isn't for everyone, but if you're going to do it, be you.

    I unpack this quote, what it means to me, and...

    In this Inside Out episode I unpack an excerpt from a conversation Price Pritchett had with Lewis Howes on the School of Greatness Podcast. It struck a chord with me, especially around planning for our big dreams, our excuses for not taking action and what to do to avoid the over-populated graveyard "The Planning Place" as Price branded it.

    "Our enemy is not lack of preparation; it's not the difficulty of the project, or the state of the marketplace or the emptiness of our bank account. The Enemy is resistance." 

    In this Inside Out episode I talk through the topic of resistance, elegantly outlined in Steven Pressfield's powerful, motivational and brief book titled "Do the Work".

    The brilliant Joseph Campbell once said "If you want to help the world, teach people how to live in it". 

    In this Inside Out episode, I unpack why this quote inspires me and what it could mean for you, especially if you're in the business of creating (or wanting to create) any form of content from social media to music or writing that book you've always wanted to.

    The concept of "Leading by Example" will mean something different to all of us.

    Here is my take, deeply anchored in the legacy I leave behind with my children, and what they learn by watching what I do, not just what I say.
