Balancing AI with professionals

Today, I'm thrilled to finally welcome my friend, Geoff Woods, to the podcast. Geoff is the founder of AI Leadership and The AI-Driven Leadership Collective, the author of The AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter Decisions, and a leading expert on AI.

He previously served as Chief Growth Officer of Jindal Steel & Power, where he played a key role in scaling the company from a $750 million market cap to over $12 billion in just four years. He also co-founded the company behind The ONE Thing, advising organizations with revenue ranging from $10 million to $60 billion.

In our conversation, Geoff doesn't just explain what AI does in theory—he'll walk you through a live demonstration of how to use it as a thought partner to help navigate the transition into retirement with greater clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. Geoff introduces his CRIT framework for prompting AI more effectively and shares practical strategies for using AI to identify purpose, strengthen daily habits, and avoid common pitfalls.

Geoff also shares his insights on how AI is rapidly shaping the world we live in, addresses concerns about job disruption for the next generation, and explains why learning to use it now will give you an advantage over those who choose to live in fear of it.
