Summary

Let’s be honest — most people have no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to AI... but they’ll pretend they do.

In this conversation, I pull back the curtain on what I’m actually doing with artificial intelligence, how I’m thinking about it, and why humility is the cheat code in an era where everyone’s faking it.

This episode is for the leaders, the curious, and the ones who don’t want to get left behind. Whether you’re a CMO or a student, this is your wake-up call to stop peacocking and start practicing.

We talk about:

Why pretending to know AI is more dangerous than not knowing
The power of “maybe” in a black-and-white world
What I learned watching execs fake their way through Web2, crypto, and now AI
How to approach AI without fear — and without needing to be an expert
Why the best marketers are operators, not talking heads
“And” vs. “or” — the mindset shift that changed everything for me

If you're sitting on the sidelines waiting to understand AI before jumping in, you're already behind.

0:26.6	There's this notion around artificial intelligence and people faking it like they know
0:32.6	what the hell they're doing.
0:33.6	Right? So most of the people that I'm on boards with are much older than I,
0:38.3	less tech savvy than I, and their fear of disintermediation.
0:43.3	Of course.
0:44.3	And so there's this...
0:45.3	But that's the thing. And so it's like, well, but nobody really wants to admit what they don't know.
