I open up about why the education system didn’t work for me, how I’m thinking about AI and fake influencers, and why humility and empathy still dominate everything I do.💥 Whether you’re a corporate exec clinging to outdated media buys or a hungry entrepreneur trying to break through—this is the wake-up call.
