On this week’s SuperLead Podcast, we are joined by Nicky Verd digital futurist, international keynote speaker, and author of AI: Humanity’s Greatest Frenemy.

In this powerful and thought-provoking conversation, we go beyond the surface of AI and explore its deeper impact on humanity. Nicky challenges us to rethink not only how we work and lead, but how we think, trust, and define what it means to be human in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines. She unpacks why AI is both a breakthrough and a threat a true “frenemy” and why conscious participation in this new era is no longer optional. This is not just a conversation about technology; it’s a conversation about identity, power, responsibility, and the future we are actively creating. Press play and step into a discussion that will shift how you see AI and more importantly, how you see yourself in the age of it.
