The Data Shaman Podcast - Daniele Forni is interviewed by Sertaç Mustafaoglu

 In a role-reversed episode, designer and creative strategist Sertaç, founder of the human-centric design practice Red Elephant and 20 years deep in visual communication, turns the tables and interviews host Daniele Forni. They trace Daniele's path from corporate finance at HSBC to leadership coaching and founding Squirrel Coach (previously Human Spikes Labs), and dig into why over-reliance on AI may be eroding our critical and creative thinking. The conversation explores "unlearning" as a prerequisite for growth (using Daniele's kung fu training as a metaphor), why great coaching blends scientific rigour with reading the energy of the room, identifying your cognitive "spikes" and neurodivergent high performance, human-centric design, and the practice of zooming out to see yourself and your values more clearly. If you want to know more about Daniele Forni, go to www.danieleforni.com
