In this episode, I speak with Justin Williams, a leader with deep expertise in AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), digital transformation, and the human impact of innovation. Justin approaches the AI conversation not from a place of hype, but from one of grounded insight, clear values, and a commitment to learning.

Together, we explore how AI is reshaping leadership, team dynamics, and the very nature of work—and what it takes for leaders to remain not just relevant, but truly human, as technology evolves. Whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting with tools, this conversation will stretch your thinking and equip you to lead with clarity, courage, and ethics.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What AI actually means for leaders and teams today

  • Why curiosity and ethics matter more than ever

  • How to lead through ambiguity—not avoid it

  • The mindset shifts needed to stay future-fit

  • Practical ways to build trust, clarity, and energy in AI-enabled teams

I particularly loved leaders need to frame the lens of learning.

It’s a powerful reminder that staying present, people-focused, and open to learning is what will keep us ahead.
