The bravery curve - why we need risk in our lives. AI and technology remove so many elements of risk from our lives, business owners need to bring it back. During this talk I will address how creating risky situations in our everyday lives will help grow our businesses, innovation and creativity. How being "more" human builds stronger brands and cuts through AI clutter. Balancing the productivity benefits of AI without losing humanity, creativity and innovation.
