I expected the younger generation to be obsessed with AI. Instead, I see them clinging to outdated manual workflows like it’s 2005. Tech-native doesn't mean tech-literate. Watch the full MUF episode here: youtu.be/PhkMtYteoZc?si=flD8… #Leadership #FutureOfWork

Most CEOs talk about innovation while firing people for one mistake. That kills progress faster than anything. At Google, the best teams treated failure as data, not a death sentence. Want real results? Stop making your people afraid to breathe. Do you? #Leadership #Culture

HIs parents were refugees with nothing. When his father died, the mourning period lasted exactly until June. Then he went to the factory to work. It wasn't about grit; it was about survival. Hardship doesn't build character, it builds necessity. Agreed? #Resilience #Leadership

For years I hid in plain sight, convinced my professional self and my human self couldn't survive in the same room. We all wear masks, but the armor eventually gets too heavy. What happens when you finally stop hiding? #Leadership #Authenticity youtu.be/PhkMtYteoZc?si=flD8…

Stop treating AI like a corporate overlord coming for your job. It's a tool, not a replacement. If we don't start having honest, open talks across generations, we're going to build a mess. Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/PhkMtYteoZc?si=flD8… #AI #Leadership

We are outsourcing our brains to AI and calling it efficiency. The truth? It is intellectual atrophy. If you stop doing the heavy lifting of critical thinking, you lose the ability to spot a bad idea before it becomes your problem. #CriticalThinking #Leadership

Want a career with meaning? David Burkus: it's not about which job you choose. It's about tracking who your work impacts, because the system will hide it from you. Full episode: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

Try this in your next meeting: Ask the person you trust most to watch how you run it. Who did you talk over? Whose question did you miss? Whose pushback did you shut down? David Burkus on Mork Unfiltered: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

A professor had his emails printed, read them, and handwrote his replies. Everyone laughed. David Burkus: people judge a leader's competence on tech savviness. Still asking "what's Copilot?" Your team noticed. Full episode: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

AI slop dumping: use AI to crank out a report, check your box, dump it on a teammate who has to decode the crap. Your productivity went up. Your team's went down. David Burkus on Mork Unfiltered: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

23 years of jiu jitsu. Kneed in the face the morning of our interview. David Burkus on why it's fun to suck at something again, and why leaders need more of that. Full episode: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

Can you train a fixed mindset out of a leader? David Burkus doesn't think so. Filter for it instead. Only one mindset survives AI. Same one that made great leaders great before AI. Full episode: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

Before you automate anything with AI, ask 4 questions: 1. Is AI faster? 2. Is it more accurate? 3. Does checking its work take longer than doing it? 4. Does a human learn anything doing it? #4 is the one nobody asks. David Burkus: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

Elon tried to build cars with as few humans as possible. Then the robots broke and nobody knew how to fix them. David Burkus on the irony of automation. (It was the Model 3 line, 2018.) Full episode: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

Everyone's cutting junior roles because "AI can do that now." So where do your senior people come from in 5 years? "You can unautomate a factory. What you can't unautomate is a talent pipeline." David Burkus Full episode: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

"AI is making people lazy." Bullsh*t. They already were. David Burkus on Mork Unfiltered: AI just gives them a tool to hide. Full episode: youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw

“AI is making people lazy.” Bullsh*t. 👀 @davidburkus (Lecturer at Columbia, Thinkers50) said it straight on Mork Unfiltered: “It’s not that AI is gonna make people intellectually lazy. It’s that most people are already intellectually lazy. And AI gives them a tool to hide.” AI doesn’t change who you are. It amplifies it. 🔥 One of the sharpest conversations we’ve had on the show. Full episode here or wherever you get your podcasts👇 youtu.be/t428K-4VCGw Is AI making your team sharper, or just helping them hide? Reply and tell me. 🎙️ Patrick #AI #Intellectuallaziness #Futureofwork

Really pissed that @RiversidedotFM chooses to charge you the professional tier for access to their MCP. This is completely unacceptable. I can understand that it should be part of a paid tier, the Pro tier, which we're in, but having it be an enterprise tier is just complete bullshit. It's cheap, and it's obnoxious. #screwingusers #cheapskates #moneygrubbers
