Oh man, what am I doing here? Never thought I would be here, but I'm not a person that spends a lot of time thinking about what's next. So my talk is for those of you out there that don't have a plan. I want to tell you that it is possible to be successful even if you don't have a dream. I spent the majority of my career making adult diapers and let's be honest, no one dreams of doing that. So, as a kid, I developed a lot of bad habits. It started in fifth grade when I was introduced to a gateway drug. You' ...

You've seen it. You've probably done it. It's that single lean forward pose staring at our devices. It's ubiquitous across every environment we find ourselves in. at the airport, at the bus station, on the metro, waiting for the bus, at the restaurant, even at our own dining tables.

This is how social media starts roping you in. This is how politics starts roping you in. This is how cult leaders will recruit you into a cult. It's the number one way that we influence another human being. Micro compliance. And hypnosis is a great example of this. Like I can have a person laying on the floor unconscious in maybe a minute and a half. And it's very easy to do. Anybody can learn to do it. But one of the things you'll see me do at the beginning of that is like give me your hand, put both hand ...

How to AI proof your job. If you've used the latest agentic AI tools like clawed code, you'll know we've crossed a threshold. Building functioning software or analyzing complex data has gone almost overnight from a scarce specialist skill to something routine and ubiquitous.Yesterday's blacksmiths, so the argument goes, are today's web developers and data scientists. But I'm [snorts] not sure that's necessarily true. For years, we've been told that STEM and coding are the most valuable skills for the 21st c ...

Thank you. Uh one, two, three. Eyes on me. Yep. Okay. Thank you. Um if you guys could keep your eyes on your own paper though, please. That'd be good. Got work on your own. Don't talk to your neighbor, please. Yeah. Uh great question, but we don't really have time for that right now. We've got to kind of focus on the task at hand. I don't know how many of you have heard things like that in your educational careers, but I have a confession to make. As an educator, I've said a lot of those kinds of things. My ...

emotional intelligence. Now, let me share a personal story. There was a time when someone I deeply valued unintentionally hurt me.I had put thought and effort into selecting a special gift for that person, but to my surprise, that person totally forgot about it.
