Summary

In a world where AI is becoming part of everything we do, the big question isn’t if you should use it—it’s how you should use it. Are you using AI to sharpen your thinking and free up mental bandwidth? Or is it slowly making you more dependent, less strategic, and mentally lazy without you realizing it? In this episode, I break down: ✅ How high performers and busy people use AI to enhance their thinking—not replace it ✅ Ways AI can help you improve clarity, strategy, and execution—if used correctly ✅ The red flags that AI is making you weaker, not sharper ✅ How to offload mental overwhelm without losing cognitive strength ✅ Real-life examples of how I use AI in my business, content creation, and decision-making The goal isn’t to resist AI—it’s to make sure you’re using it as a tool that enhances your skills instead of slowly eroding them. Tune in to learn how to stay sharp, adaptable, and in control while leveraging AI the right way. SPEAKER SCHOOL- The best speakers don’t just talk—they adapt.
