AI Or F? Navigating The Wishy-Washy Reality Of AI On College Campuses With Scott Seibel

Gen Z is often labeled as the hyper-connected, digital-native generation, but what if they are actually the most tired of the online world? In this illuminating conversation, we sit down with Scott Seibel [https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-scott-seibel/], a self-funding junior at CU Boulder, who offers a powerful and unique lens into collegiate life, fierce motivation, and the complex relationship students have with technology. Scott shares his generation’s growing desire to disconnect from screens for more meaningful, interpersonal connections, even while grappling with a crucial challenge: the confusing, "wishy-washy" policy on Artificial Intelligence (AI) on campus. As universities struggle to define where AI belongs—a helpful tool or grounds for plagiarism—students are left in fear, knowing they must use it to keep pace but risking failure if they do. Discover why this fiscally responsible student believes AI should be a tool for experienced professionals, not a crutch for those just starting out, and how this digital dilemma is shaping the next generation of leaders.

A Lesson On Uncertainty From a Colorado State Classroom

After a guest lecture in an entrepreneurship class at Colorado State University, Tina Fox stayed behind to talk with students who approached her with a mix of gratitude, curiosity, and relief. What she heard was the same thread running through every campus she visits: uncertainty about networking, about majors, about what comes next. In this solo episode, Tina unpacks the "upper duck, under duck" truth: nobody actually has it all figured out. She walks through a simple practice for moving forward anyway: stop, breathe, and take the simplest next step. She also makes the case for why "yes" and "no" are both gifts, why "maybe" is the real trap, and why the fastest way for a college student to start building a network is to walk into a professor's office hours.
