This week, I'm joined by Jeremy David, CEO and Founder of ConvoGPT, to explore how automation is transforming the sales funnel—without removing the human element. From lead generation to conversion, we explore how AI can take on repetitive tasks so sales teams can focus on what truly drives results: relationships.

We dive into the realities of AI implementation, the misconceptions around "instant results," and why the future belongs to professionals who know how to leverage technology while thinking critically and connecting authentically.

Welcome back to Humanize Automation! This week, I'm joined by Jonathan Aberman, CEO and Co-Founder of Hupside, to explore the concept of Original Intelligence, the measurable human contribution that creates differentiation in an AI-driven world.

As organizations rush to deploy AI tools, Jonathan challenges the idea that automation alone creates value. Instead, he shares how understanding and measuring originality can help leaders better align people, tools, and outcomes.

We discuss why one-size-fits-all AI training falls short, how AI can act as an accelerant for creativity rather than a replacement for it, and why human-centered strategy matters more than ever.

How do we teach kids to use AI before it starts shaping how they think, learn, and see the world?

This week, I'm joined by Jeff Riley, former Massachusetts Commissioner of Education and current Executive Director of Day of AI, an organization working at the national level to help students, educators, and families understand AI in safe, ethical, and productive ways.

From AI literacy and critical thinking to bias, misinformation, and long-term cognitive impact, this conversation explores what children actually need to know about AI. Not just how to use it, but how to evaluate it. We unpack why "trust but verify" matters, how automation can support deeper learning instead of shortcut thinking, and what it looks like to prepare the next generation for a future where AI is everywhere.
