Accountability in the age of AI: Don't Outsource Your Thinking
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI is changing the way we work, learn, and do business—but what does that mean for personal accountability?
In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, business coach, and my sister-in-law, Jen Hickle, to talk about navigating change in the age of AI. Jen works at the intersection of technology and people, helping business owners adapt, grow, and solve problems, so I knew she'd have valuable insights to share.
Together, we explore how to embrace AI as a tool without outsourcing our thinking, our creativity, or our humanity. We talk about the realities of entrepreneurship, the importance of knowing your strengths, and why asking better questions matters more than ever when the world around us is changing.
Along the way, we discuss everything from business innovation and critical thinking to homeschooling, technology, and the surprising return of "analog" hobbies.
If you're feeling excited, overwhelmed, curious, or even a little skeptical about AI, I think you'll enjoy this conversation.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Using AI as a tool without becoming dependent on it
- Why critical thinking matters more than ever
- The ups and downs of entrepreneurship
- Understanding and leveraging your strengths
- Helping kids learn in a technology-filled world
- The role personal accountability plays during times of change
One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was this:
Don't outsource your thinking.
No matter how much technology changes, we're still responsible for the questions we ask, the decisions we make, and the actions we take.
