How AI Is Changing Work, Money & What It Means to Be Human with Mishaal Lakhani

What if AI isn't just changing how we work, but what it means to be human? AI Strategist Mishaal Lakhani joins me for a 90 minute conversation on the AI revolution reshaping work, money, mental health, and the way we build meaningful lives. We get into why the founders thriving right now aren't the ones with the longest tool stacks but the ones who actually know what they're building and why. The 3 step prompting framework Mishaal uses with her clients. How AI gave me 5 years of therapy in 5 months. Why the 100 year old factory model of education is about to collapse. And the one mindset shift that separates the founders who'll thrive from the ones who'll get left behind.
