Thanks for sharing your perspective so openly, @Jeff Ryan . You're absolutely right, many people haven’t had the chance to engage with AI in a meaningful way yet, and as a result, it still feels abstract or unnecessary to them. The comparison you made to handing someone an iPhone for the first time is spot-on. Until someone actually experiences the benefit firsthand, it can feel like just another thing to figure out......and let’s face it, most people are already overloaded. That’s why I believe starting with small, tangible wins is so powerful. It’s not about convincing people with hype or complex tech talk. It’s about showing them how they can save 15 minutes on a repetitive task, or simplify a frustrating part of their workflow. Once they feel that relief or see that little “aha” moment, curiosity starts to spark. I also hear you on the language barrier, a lot of the early adopters of AI do come from technical backgrounds, and the way they talk about it can make it feel out of reach for others. One of the goals of our work is to translate that language and bridge that gap so more people can see AI as accessible, practical, and empowering, not intimidating. The more we can make AI relatable, the faster we build momentum. And as you pointed out, it’s not about everyone becoming an expert — it’s about helping people experience enough value that they’re willing to lean in a bit more. Appreciate you being part of that conversation 🙏

@Jen Bauer Yes! I actually listened to this Diary of a CEO episode with Simon Sinek, it was such a powerful conversation. He really digs into the deeper human implications of AI, beyond just the usual "tech and productivity" narrative. A few points really stuck with me, especially his take on how AI might unintentionally be eroding human connection, empathy, and even our capacity for resourcefulness. I loved his reflection on how the most important skill AI can’t learn is empathy and how that should be our focus as we adapt. He also makes a compelling case that while AI can offer efficiency, it risks making us helpless if we lose our grip on core human skills like curiosity, gratitude, friendship, and struggle. It’s a refreshing reminder that as we embrace innovation, we also need to double down on what makes us human. Would definitely recommend giving it a listen if you haven’t yet, especially if you’re exploring that intersection of tech, responsibility, and purpose. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/simon-sinek-youre-being-lied-to-about-ais-real-purpose/id1291423644?i=1000709862270

@Cynthia Francisco YES!!! Love this. 🙌
