E30: The Curious Founder Wins - Using AI to Stay Ahead of the Competition

AI might feel like it suddenly exploded into our lives, but as Anna explains in this solo episode of Creating the Curve, the technology has been quietly shaping our world for years. The real challenge for founders isn't the AI itself - it's how we, as humans, respond to change.

Drawing on decades of tech experience, personal stories, and insights from last week's guest Luke Williams, Anna explores how to stay curious, confident and authentic as AI becomes part of everyday business.

In this episode, Anna talks about:

• Why AI feels overwhelming and how familiarity makes new tech easier to adopt
• The importance of staying curious and future-focused so you don't get left behind
• How to choose AI tools that fit your values, without sacrificing authenticity
• Where AI and automation genuinely save time, and where human oversight still matters
• Practical ways founders can experiment with AI through small, low-pressure trials
• Why embracing the human side of tech is just as important as the tools themselves

Whether you're excited by AI or exhausted by it, this episode helps founders navigate change with confidence - one small step (and one curious mindset) at a time.
