In this episode of Silicon Valley Girl, Marina Mogilko sits down with Conor Grennan, Chief AI Architect at NYU Stern School of Business and founder of AI Mindset.
Conor works with Fortune 500 companies and teaches thousands of business leaders how to actually work with AI—not just use it like Google. His core insight: most people aren't behind on AI because of tools, they're behind because of behavior.
They break down why using AI like a search engine wastes most of its potential, how to transfer your AI memory across platforms in minutes (ChatGPT → Claude → Gemini), and what really makes candidates stand out as entry-level roles rapidly change. Conor also shares the exact frameworks he teaches at NYU for reinventing work processes with AI—and why becoming an "entrepreneur inside your organization" is the best career move you can make right now.
Topics covered:
- Why 99% of people use AI wrong (and how to fix it)
- The exact query to transfer your ChatGPT memory to Claude or Gemini
- How to stand out in job interviews when AI eliminates 30% of entry-level roles
- Why you should reinvent your team's process, not just your own work
- The difference between "power users" and people who just ask AI questions
- Why the best time to be an entrepreneur is right now
- How to use AI without losing critical thinking skills
- What universities will look like in 10 years (they're not going away)
