AI is a tool, not a creator.You can feel the difference instantly.AI can produce content, but it cannot replace lived experience, taste, or conviction.That still comes from the person behind it.In Web3, this matters more than anywhere else.The space moves fast, narratives change daily, and hype is everywhere. If you are not grounded in something real, you get lost in the noise. Credibility is what people come back for.Culture and reputation are what actually hold creator DAOs together. You cannot code trust ...

Let me start with a number that should make all of us slightly uncomfortable. The World Economic Forum suggests that 65% of children in primary school today will enter jobs that don't exist yet. Think about that for a moment.Not new companies, not new tools, new jobs that don't exist yet and don't even have names yet. Now, this is not about the future economy. This shift is about all of us at this very moment.Let me ask you a question. If I gave every person in this room the same set of tools, the same tech ...

and MSNOW political contributor Jake Sherman, staff writer for The Atlantic Nick Miroff and former ICE director, Sarah Saldaña. I want to start before we get into the trust level. I want to start with the politics of this and whether this nomination, Jake, is ever even going to make it out of committee because the chairman, and we discussed this back when he was nominated, the chairman of the committee, Rand Paul, and Mark Wayne Mullen have a history.Mullen has called Rand Paul a snake and has said he under ...

Change is a part of our lives. We live it at home, at work, in our communities. Some days it's exciting and other days it's hard.But why is that. Why is it that change can feel so different when it's the same experience. Could it be that when we're engaged in the change, when we understand the why, we feel like we we have this excitement, we want to see it happen, but when we feel excluded, we don't really understand the reason for the change.We resist. We build these beautiful strategies on paper. And then ...

Dr. . Michelle Maer. That's what my email signature says.And that is what a decade of work, research, and more captain field nights than I'd care to admit say. But when I introduced myself like that to a wellrespected business leader, he flinched. I wouldn't say that if I were you.You're going to intimidate people. Nobody wants to do a business with a know-it-all. I laughed.I thought he was kidding. I mean, come on. Who would be intimidated by a woman who spent her 20s chasing down citations at the library ...
