    Episode #90: How Microsoft's AI Innovation Officer Actually Uses AI | Dr. Michael J. Jabbour on Thinking, Not Just Tools

    AI is changing our brains. How we work. How we think. And even how we feel.
    The question isn't "Should I use AI?" It's "How do I direct the change?"

    Michael J. Jabbour says he uses AI for 70% of his work. "Not because it's faster. Because it would be irresponsible not to."


    🎯 KEY DISCUSSION POINTS:
    - Why doing nothing means getting dumber (and how to direct the change)
    - Three modes most people miss: assistant, partner, explorer
    - Why Michael uses multiple AI models (Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT)—and which prompts make AI teach instead of tell
    - How to harness pervasive AI tech without letting it become invasive


    ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:
    00:00 - Intro: AI is changing your brain
    04:12 - Why AI is like discovering fire, not the Industrial Revolution
    05:04 - London taxi drivers: GPS physically changed their brains
    10:06 - University dean: "I created students who can't handle ambiguity"
    14:30 - Using AI 70% of the time (responsibly, not efficiently)
    18:45 - Three modes: Assistant, partner, explorer
    28:30 - Prompts that make AI teach instead of tell
    42:15 - AI isn't the enemy—losing our humanity is

  • #89 Confidence from the Courtroom to the Boardroom - Stuttering and Leadership with Mike Liben

    #89 Confidence from the Courtroom to the Boardroom - Stuttering and Leadership with Mike Liben
    Jan 13 2026
    On stage at the school assembly, second-grade Mike got stuck for 30 seconds saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Every eye on him. Then: a rush. Not relief—an actual high. "I got through it. I did it." Today Mike Liben is CEO of Chai Travel, leading meetings, closing deals, and proving substance beats style every time. When the Brooklyn DA suggested Mike avoid the courtroom, Mike was resolute: "I'll say what I need to say. And they'll listen." He took the harder path—and it made him stronger. Judges started requesting him. Not despite his stutter. Because of what he brought. Every leader can learn from Mike: The best communicators aren't the smoothest talkers. They're the most prepared. Whether you stutter or not, this proves speaking with confidence comes from knowing what you have to say matters more than how you say it. IN THIS EPISODE: Why preparation and substance beat smooth delivery every time (courtroom lessons for every leader)The "rush" after doing hard things - and what it teaches about building confidenceHow to navigate difficult conversations when the stakes are highBarry Liben's intensity - how the same force that was sometimes tough for young Mike also became his model for resilienceWhy judges preferred Mike in court (hint: it wasn't his fluency!)What Mike learned about leadership from watching his father refuse to let physical limitations winHow stuttering built the empathy that makes Mike a better CEOThe business principles behind Chai Travel's successWhat every professional can learn about speaking with confidence in meetings, presentations, and executive conversations ABOUT OUR GUEST: Mike Liben is CEO of Chai Travel, a family-founded travel agency built on the legacy of his father, Barry Liben. Before entering the travel industry, Mike spent 11 years as a prosecuting attorney in the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, specializing in domestic violence cases. Despite stuttering since childhood, Mike chose the courtroom over desk work - and became the prosecutor judges requested. Mike lives with his wife and children, carrying forward his father's philosophy of treating everyone like family.

  • #88 The Power of Belief: How Two Kids Who Stuttered Learned to Speak Fearlessly With Modi & Arthur Luxenberg

    #88 The Power of Belief: How Two Kids Who Stuttered Learned to Speak Fearlessly With Modi & Arthur Luxenberg
    Oct 23 2025
    This conversation was originally recorded for Modi's podcast And Here’s Modi (episode #106), where Uri appeared as a guest with Arthur Luxenberg. We're honored to share it here with Modi's permission. What unfolds is a funny, heartfelt, and deeply human dialogue about fearless communication, self-acceptance, and the power of belief. Follow @modi_live and tune-in @ahm_podcast See everything Modi: https://modilive.com/ - The voice you’re trying to fix might just be the one the world most needs to hear. Every pause, every stumble, every moment of silence can hold a lesson in courage. And when someone — maybe a mother, a teacher, or a grandmother — believes in you before you believe in yourself, that belief can rewrite the entire story of who you become. In this powerful conversation, Uri Schneider joins world-famous comedian Modi Rosenfeld and renowned trial attorney Arthur Luxenberg to explore how two kids who grew up stuttering learned to speak fearlessly: one on stage, the other in the courtroom. Together, they open up about the emotional and practical realities of overcoming stuttering, the lifelong process of finding your voice, and the courage it takes to keep showing up, even when words don’t come easily. Today’s episode is a little different than usual. It was originally recorded for Modi Rosenfeld’s podcast And Here’s Modi (episode #106), where Uri appeared as a guest. What unfolds is a funny, heartfelt, and deeply human dialogue about fearless communication, self-acceptance, and the power of belief. The conversation also features a remarkable story about Uri’s father, Dr. Phil Schneider, and his sacred encounters with the Lubavitcher Rebbe — a profound reminder that communication isn’t only about words; it’s about presence, connection, and honoring the dignity behind every voice. This episode is a reminder that our voice is never the problem. Our belief in it is. Keep talking. Keep listening. And keep transcending. In this episode on the power of belief, we discuss: Why overcoming stuttering isn’t about perfect speech, but it’s about being heard The four pillars of Uri’s Transcending Stuttering framework: self-knowledge, self-adjustment, self-acceptance, and self-advocacy The incredible story of Dr. Phil Schneider’s speech therapy work with the Lubavitcher Rebbe after his stroke How belief from one person can change the entire trajectory of a child’s life What comedians and trial attorneys can teach us about fearless communication Practical do’s and don’ts for supporting a child who stutters, without shame or pressure TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Introduction: The Fear We All Share and the Power of Belief 00:01:46 – Meet Modi Rosenfeld and Arthur Luxenberg: Two Kids Who Stuttered and Found Their Voice 00:03:45 – The Story Behind Schneider Speech and the Meaning of “Transcending Stuttering” 00:05:41 – Why Overcoming Stuttering Is About Talking More, Not Less 00:07:33 – From Silence to Self-Expression: Arthur’s Journey and His Grandmother’s Influence 00:12:31 – The Sacred Encounter: Dr. Phil Schneider and the Lubavitcher Rebbe 00:19:59 – What the Rebbe Taught About Dignity, Connection, and Communication Beyond Words 00:21:29 – The Four Pillars of the Transcending Stuttering Framework 00:26:40 – How Comedy, Courtrooms, and Courage Shape Fearless Communicators 00:38:28 – Practical Do’s and Don’ts for Supporting People Who Stutter 00:44:56 – Why Belief Can Change a Life and How to Keep Talking Even When It’s Hard 00:56:45 – Closing Reflections: The World Needs to Hear Your Voice ABOUT THE GUEST: MODI ROSENFELD Voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York City by The Hollywood Reporter, Modi Rosenfeld is one of the comedy circuit's most sought after performers.
