    Guest:
    Ajay Malik

    Host:
    Melissa Aarskaug

    Episode Overview:
    Everyone says “follow your passion.” Ajay Malik says follow your curiosity instead. The prolific inventor behind more than 100 patents explains why passion fades but curiosity compounds — fueling innovation, leadership, and lifelong creativity.

    In this episode of Executive Connect, host Melissa Aarskaug dives deep into how Ajay turns curiosity into invention and reinvention. From building teams that thrive on freedom to leading turnarounds across industries, Ajay reveals how asking “why” and “what if” can change your life, your career, and your company.

    You’ll hear how curiosity drives breakthrough thinking, why randomness is often your best teacher, and what daily habits keep Ajay inspired to create.

    If you’ve ever wondered what separates innovators who sustain success from those who burn out — this conversation gives you the blueprint.

    What You’ll Learn:
    • Why curiosity outlasts passion in innovation and leadership

    • The mindset that helped Ajay earn 100+ patents

    • How to build high-performing teams through freedom and trust

    • Lessons from company turnarounds and reinvention

    • Why great leaders act as “reverse bosses” who empower others

    Melissa Aarskaug

    Episode Overview:

    AI is everywhere, but leadership is what makes it valuable. In this conversation, AI innovator Shashank Kapadia lays out a practical playbook for responsible AI: start with values, measure real outcomes, and ask better questions. He introduces his three Cs framework for responsible AI clarity, context, and consequence and explains how to lead high performing ML teams with direction, autonomy, and integrity. We cut through hype to focus on models that quietly improve decisions, discuss when not to automate, and share failure patterns and guardrails leaders can use right now.
