BEST MOMENTS

"It's constant creativity on a leader's part, how are you thinking outside the box to make sure that you're bringing value based on what your organization can provide." 

"You've got to think about what is the human element that can supplement an AI experience." 

"It's the human element. It's the co-selling. It's the sponsorships. It's the events. And it's no surprise why those are at the top. It's because it's human and that can't be replaced, at least yet." -

"You generally don't know if you've lost perceived value until it's gone if you're not proactive

"Proactivity is key. After that, if you start to lose, then you're just playing catch up and that can be a really dangerous game."

“I could do four whole podcast shows talking about my experience and the mistakes and successes that I had”

“In a start-up, it’s in the moment, it’s let’s throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks”

“What would a structure look like at $100 million? What roles would we need? What types of people would we need?”

“Slow down to speed up”

“When money is involved it’s super emotional so of course then want to keep moving it forward”

“Just because something worked once, doesn’t mean it will again”

BEST MOMENTS

"The expectations that people have are that it does everything amazing. Now, what I'm going to get into are the three mistakes that people are making, but I wanted to kick it off and show you that because that's that key understanding of how to use it, it's not going to be a straight line going across, there's going to be tasks that it's amazing at, and then tests that it's not so good at is going to be some of the keys to the castle."

"You need to expect it to act like a person, right? And as weird as that sounds, it's not a person. It's not sentient.”

"If you could free up like 10 hours a week how amazing would that be? Or if you could just offload. To an AI intern, like the things that you hate about your job and do the things that you love doing, like how cool would that be?"

"This is a psychological pattern that I see people falling into that's stopping them from literally using one of the most powerful things that we've ever had in terms of mankind, and it just kills me inside."
