Together with Michelle and Rae, he explores why in an AI-driven world, the leaders who thrive aren't those chasing perfection—but those leaning into curiosity, courage, and change.From embracing uncertainty to modeling adaptability, this conversation is a call to stop performing leadership—and start practicing it. Because in times of rapid transformation, the real power lies in asking better questions, not having all the answers.Leadership isn’t about control anymore.It’s about staying human.💡Notable Moments:07:29 — A system built for kids12:38 — Vulnerability & unlearning16:55 — Lead with stability 21:34 — Taking time to listen 29:54 — The sage on the stage35:41 — TRUST43:57 — Unavoidable truths 🎙️About the HostsMichelle Ament and Arvin Ross come from different generations, experiences, and disciplines—but their unlikely partnership is built on mutual curiosity, deep listening, and a shared belief in the power of human connection.
