Gord Vickman and Dan Sullivan dive into the concept of "Geometry For Staying Cool & Calm" and its relevance in the emerging age of AI. Drawing on a recent MIT Sloan study on the impact of AI in the workplace, they explore how anyone can thrive when they focus on constantly creating new things.

 

In This Episode:

 

  • Dan and Gord share the concept of "Geometry For Staying Cool & Calm" as a mindset for living in the digital network economy.
  • An MIT Sloan research paper showed that AI can significantly boost productivity for less experienced workers.
  • Academic credentials are being left behind in a networked world where people only care if you create value for them.
  • The current educational system is stuck in an industrial economy that makes little sense to continue following. 
  •  Podcasting invites everyone to have their voices heard without needing permission.
  • Dan makes an important distinction between efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Productivity in the future won’t be contingent on tenure but rather on one’s ability to leverage AI and embrace the habit of always creating new things.
