But that is exactly the wrong move, and it is going to cost people more than they realize.In this opening episode, host Mitch Simon sits down with Ronen Gafni and Simcha Gluck, creators of the FreshBiz business simulation game and co-authors of The New Entrepreneurs, to lay the foundation for the entire season.What You Will Learn:- Why using AI to do the same work faster is a trap- The difference between the old zero-sum game of business and the new one- What makes humans genuinely irreplaceable in an automated world- Why the cost of failure has dropped and how to use that to your advantage- Three behavioral shifts you can apply this weekThe Big Idea:Every time a major technology arrives, the first instinct is to use it to do old things faster. AI is no different. But the leaders who win are the ones asking a different question: not how can AI help me do my work better, but how can AI help me express my art more fully.Collaboration and creativity are the two things that made humans dominant on this planet.
