EP #317 This is Better than the Best Technology
This episode is about people over technology…
…and the role technology should play in a generous workplace culture. I want you to understand that technology should help people become better, not make them feel replaceable. If a tool weakens trust, ownership, or human value, then it’s not serving the culture the way it should.
I also talk about the fear people feel around technology, especially AI. Some people rush to use it because they feel pressure, and others fear it will replace them. My point is that the best use of technology is not just efficiency or output. It is human improvement, because better people always create a better company.
