Building Futures Outside the Box with Wadooah Wali | #4
Q: What are the key questions that you ask yourself when considering new projects?
I start with how does it feel, and then I think about what's the opportunity and what is the output of what we're doing together?
AI and KINDNESS w/ Scott Clendaniel
Q: What AI tools do you recommend that have improved your life?
Perplexity is great for research while ChatGPT is widely used but not necessarily the best; different tools have different strengths and weaknesses.
AI and KINDNESS w/ Scott Clendaniel
Q: What's your response when somebody says AI is going to replace human beings?
AI is used as an excuse to fire people, but organizations are extremely inefficient and there's a difference between AI being the cause of layoffs and being the excuse for them.
G.O.A.T. Wisdom w/ Brent Ridge
Q: How do you make your partnership work?
We believe in the principle of always having a project. For us, that project was our business, which helped maintain a focus beyond our individual life.
G.O.A.T. Wisdom w/ Brent Ridge
Q: Why the book? Why now?
