Episode Synopsis

We’ve been circling around AI for months — how to use it, how to feel about it, and how not to lose ourselves in the process.This week, we sat down with Jaroslav Dokoupil, Managing Director of RQ Genesis and Chief Learning Officer at OpenExO, who helps organisations navigate disruption with purpose. His take: treat AI like a relationship, not a tool.AI, in three metaphors:🧞‍♂️ The Genie — AI turns ideas into reality fast. The challenge? Knowing what you really want before you ask.🗺️ Uncharted Territory — The rules are being written as we go. Stay curious.👽 Alien Intelligence — AI is another kind of mind. Learn to communicate — with respect and boundaries.Automation ≠ Augmentation Automation makes you faster. Augmentation makes you more creative. That’s where the magic happens.The AI Compass 🧭 Jaroslav’s six questions to orient any prompt: What can I learn, grow, create, build, discover, or collaborate on? A simple tool that turns “I don’t know what to ask” into dozens of ideas.Think First, Then Ask AI Those who do their own thinking before turning to AI get the biggest benefits.“Do the hard thinking yourself. Then let AI supercharge it.” — JaroslavStaying Human Keep some thoughts off the machine. Stay in charge. Lean into the messy, creative, intuitive stuff — it’s what makes you human.💡 Spend 15 minutes a day talking to AI. Not to love it, but to understand it — and design your own partnership.🎧 Listen: Work is Weird Now — wherever you get your podcasts.📥 Download the AI Compass: jaroslavdokoupil.com/aicompass
