  • How AI is changing the way you think (and how to fight back) with Prof Scott Anthony
    What happens to our ability to think critically when we start outsourcing it to AI? Professor Scott Anthony is one of the world’s leading experts on innovation and disruption and he believes the way we use AI today will shape the future of our judgment, creativity, and even our careers. Scott is a professor at the Tuck School of Business, the former managing partner at Innosight (the firm co-founded by the late Clayton Christensen) and author of several books, including his latest, Epic Disruptions. In this conversation, Scott shares how AI is transforming the way he teaches, consults, and thinks - and why he draws a firm line on where he will never let AI do the work. You’ll learn exactly how to leverage AI as a teammate without letting it hollow out your critical thinking skills, and why protecting your judgment is more important than ever. If you’ve ever wondered, Am I thinking less deeply than I used to?—this episode might just change the way you work.

  • Quick Win: Why you feel stuck (and the simple reflection to change it)
    Are you stuck in autopilot, drifting through life without a sense of direction? This episode can help you get back in touch with what really matters. In this Quick Win, I’m joined by Dr. Emily Musgrove - clinical psychologist, author of Unstuck, and resident Psych on The Imperfects podcast. We unpack the signs you’re disconnected from your values and the simple ways to reconnect with them, like the “80th birthday” exercise and a values questionnaire. Dr. Em shares: How values misalignment shows up in therapy and life Why “stuckness” signals you’re out of touch with your values The 80th birthday exercise for identifying what really matters to you The power of questionnaires in surfacing your core values Why values are bidirectional (hint: kindness to yourself counts too) Key Quotes: “The presence of avoidance often signals a values disconnection.” “Being kind includes being kind to yourself - sometimes that means setting boundaries.” Connect with Dr. Em on Instagram, LinkedIn and her website.
