How an AI Builder and Strategist Uses Tech to Solve Big Business Problems

from How I AI · host Brooke Gramer

I’m joined by Lucas Lorenzo Peña, a systems thinker, Creative Technologist, and AI Builder. Lucas sits at the intersection of strategic design, innovation frameworks, and emerging AI tools. This conversation dives deep into how AI is shaping the way we think, not just the way we work.We explore how tools can be extensions of our thought processes, how engineering mindsets can drive creative innovation, and why resilience in the age of AI is less about learning every tool and more about learning how to think across systems. If you’ve ever wondered how to bridge artistic vision with technical skill, or how to build future-ready infrastructure for the ideas in your head, this one’s for you.🔥 Topics We Cover:How AI tools are helping Lucas prototype and refine complex ideasLucas’s approach to creative problem solving through systems thinkingThe difference between art, design, and engineering in the AI eraWhy learning to “vibe code” isn’t enough, and how to build a real foundationHis strategy of “backcasting” and imagining from the future backwardsWhy staying adaptable with tools matters more than mastering any one platform🧰 Tools Mentioned in This Episode:For thinking + writing: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeekFor coding + prototyping: Python, JavaScript, LLaMAFor organizing ideas: NotionContact Lucas:LinkedIn: lucaslpena Substack: traverseinspace🔗 Links Mentioned in the Episode:Future of Education InstagramLego + Generative AI Article on LinkedInTraverse-in-space Website Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?Explore all my resources in one place → https://stan.store/BRXSTUDIOFree AI Guide • 45-Minute AI Audit • AI Community • Custom GPTHow I AI is now The AI Movement Podcast.LinkedIn: Brooke GramerWebsite: TheAIMovementPodcast.comDisclaimer: This podcast is for general informational and educational purposes only, not legal, financial, medical, business, technical, or other professional advice.
