Are you leading your team through disruption—or waiting to be disrupted?

In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, we explore what it really takes to lead through disruption and embrace innovation, especially in the age of AI. 

I’m joined by Trent Gillespie—former Amazon executive, AI strategist, and creator of the AI Sprint framework—who shares how leaders can navigate change, unlock innovation, and use AI to drive real results with clarity and courage.

Trent shares the Small Brave Moves that led him to leave a high-profile role at Amazon to help mid-sized companies become AI-powered growth engines. We unpack what’s changing in business (spoiler: it’s everything), and how leaders can prepare their teams, rethink innovation, and take strategic action—fast. 

If you're curious about: 

✅ Why AI is accelerating innovation—and what that means for your business
✅ The mindset shift leaders must make now to avoid falling behind
✅ How to equip your team to embrace AI with confidence
✅ What it looks like to lead bravely through uncertainty and change

This episode is your roadmap to thinking strategically, leading proactively, and shaping the future—one Small Brave Move (or ChatGPT prompt) at a time.
