He is an evangelist for innovation. He has also shaped my career (from afar) since my days in the NBA. I consider him to be a legend. After 300+ episodes, this is by far one of the most value packed. [You can listen to the full episode on my website here.]( [Listen on Apple Podcasts.]( [Listen on Spotify.]( Guy and I discuss how to navigate healthy tension conversations and [the one question you should ask people you disagree with]( how to reinvent yourself, your company or your community, his decision making process, AI, parenting and much more. His insight into the ever-evolving landscape of AI is thought-provoking. Here are a few takeaways that resonated with me: - Guy is using AI as a thought partner. For example, he’ll start by using it in the expected/normal way with its basic capabilities like researching various options and giving it very specific prompts and criteria. Then he will ask AI what it thinks he should do based on the data and options. This is the first time I’ve heard of someone taking AI to a level that could be perceived as human-only cognitive computing. Discerning between data sets to help make complex decisions. - He believes eventually AI will be able to make better investment decisions than VCs. He acknowledged that the current “young associates who sit at the big firms” are not a valid filter. - “Silicon Valley does not have a monopoly on brains. That’s BS. We are not the epicenter of people.” - this was Guy’s answer to my question about Silicon Valley's global leadership on innovation in the future. Guy has a way to spark curiosity in people that is unmatched. After listening to this conversation, I hope he sparks something for you. By the way, [I'm hiring a Bandwidth Manager (aka my Right Hand).]( Ajo [Instagram]( [iTunesPodcasts]( [Linkedin]( Sent to: {EMAIL} [Unsubscribe]( Amy Jo Martin, LLC, Austin, Austin, TX 78739, United States
