Recently, I was asked: “In a world of Artificial Intelligence, what will still make humans indispensable?”
The question lingers everywhere now.
In the early years of a startup, many founders are taught to prioritize the pitch deck over the sales call. Raise capital. Extend the runway. Buy time. That was the game. For a while, it worked. But we’re not in that era anymore.
Every founder I’ve worked with, myself included, has wrestled with a kind of illusion: “If I can just get everyone to see what I see, we’ll be fine.”
It’s flattering when everyone agrees with you.
Every ambitious professional eventually hits a wall. Sometimes it’s burnout. Sometimes it’s decision fatigue. Sometimes it’s that quiet, creeping sense that this is no longer working like it used to. You’re still showing up. You’re still producing. But momentum has stalled—and effort alone isn’t cutting it anymore. Sound familiar? You're not alone.
