from FreshMinds Podcast

Most people are using AI to do the same work faster. Write emails faster. Build decks faster. Summarize meetings faster. 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. AI is not threatening those skills. It is raising the stakes for them.Three Shifts to Start This Week:- Get radically honest in your communication, with people and with your tools- Name your specific creative contribution, the thing only you bring to the table- Start failing faster and cheaper, use AI to experiment without the old emotional and financial costFreshBiz Game: https://freshbizgame.com/Watch Full Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fxk8MsSKiBUAbout the Show:Fresh Leadership is for leaders and contributors who know the game at work is changing and refuse to be left playing by the old rules.
