In this episode, Erik and John discuss the correlation between sports teams and organizational teams. With sports teams, we see a lot of emphasis placed on practicing skills before doing the work, or stepping into a match. In business, we tend to jump straight into doing the work without setting good personal foundations. The importance of engineering a life of practice is vital to success.Get social with us on Instagram, Linkedin and TikTok. We are also on Youtube. Hello!

In this episode, John Sanei and Erik Kruger discuss the importance of adaptability over stability, especially in a world where change is constant. They emphasize the need to seek discomfort to evolve and become adaptable machines. They highlight that the concept of stability is over, and we should not be craving it.

Stability is an outdated concept, and we should not be craving it. Seeking discomfort is crucial to evolve and becoming adaptable. Responsibility is required to recalibrate our brains to become adaptable. The world is changing constantly, and hope for the future is not the solution.

In this episode, Erik and John tackle questions around the explosive growth of artificial intelligence and the recent call by influential people to pump the brakes on its development. We explore why this call is necessary and the potential dangers of AI. But we also dive deeper into how AI is forcing us to question our own evolution as human beings and how we can bring value to the world in a new way. We discuss the potential for socializing, emotional connections, and the evolution of ourselves as the way forward in this changing world.Key points include:  Influential people, including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, to call for a halt to its development, citing the lack of proper guardrails to ensure it stays on the right path. AI is an intelligent entity on its own, not making us more intelligent, but competing against us in many ways. This competition is forcing us to think about the potential of human beings and how we can evolve ourselves not to be in competition with AI but bring value to the world in a new way. As technology replaces the way we think and act, we need to adapt to the changing times. We need to evolve ourselves to keep up with technology. The potential for socializing and emotional connections can bring back the humanness of connection that we have lost.  Evolving ourselves is the only answer and way forward. We need to trust ourselves to know that we are adaptable, and we can move through the changing times.  Instead of competing on IQ levels, we need to evolve our emotional intelligence and our ability to connect with others.  This evolution will allow us to bring value to the world in a new way.
