About this event

  • Event lasts 55 minutes

Let’s be honest—AI is throwing us for a loop.

Things are changing so fast, it’s almost impossible to keep up. And let’s face it, "fake it till you make it" just isn’t cutting it anymore.

We’re overwhelmed. And we’re really nervous—not just about our jobs, but about the future of the world itself.

The only way through this? Stick together. And stay true to our brand: what makes us uniquely human.

Once we’re clear on who we are and the value we bring, we can redefine our relationship with AI—on our terms.

So, Human, meet Machine. We’ve got a lot to talk about.


What Makes us Valuable in the Age of Machines?

What happens when machines take over the mundane tasks we used to own? What’s left for us—and what does that mean for our sense of purpose?

In this live conversation, we’ll explore:

  • How 'bout all that Free Time we are being promised ? Will that actually materialize? Is that going to solve our current overwhelm?
  • When AI automates your to-do list… what’s your job now? Remember Office Space: “What is it you do here?” That might hit closer to home in the coming years.
  • Quit your job and start a business? LinkedIn makes this sound like the answer to everything. Why that may not be an option.
  • The rise of the Intrapreneur. As organizations reshape themselves, how we can co-create new roles and opportunities instead of becoming obsolete


And our favorite part: We’ll share how we used AI tools to prep for this very event—and give you a few quick tips to do the same.

Because what’s better than walking the walk?

Frequently asked questions

What is the format of this meeup?

This meetup will be an intimate conversation between two friends. You will get to be a fly on the wall and hear what people talk about behind the scenes. There will be 5-10 minutes at the end where the audience can ask questions.

How is this different than your previous meetup, Agile Conversations?

If you attended those in the past, welcome back! The format is the same, but the topic is fresh and relevant: AI and how humans are navigating this massive disruption.

What is the day and time of this meetup?

I am currently aiming for 12 noon Eastern Time. We will make every effort to end 5 minutes before the top of the hour so you can get to where you need to be next.

Will this be recorded?

Yes, this meetup will be recorded and lightly edited for clarity. If you cannot attend, please sign up anyway as the video will be emailed (perhaps with a few other goodies!) early the following week.

Does this meetup cost anything?

No. Although it takes time and effort to put together a meetup, at the end of the day, the value that these conversations bring to my life is priceless.
