In this episode of Adam Torres: Inside My Mind, I explore why relationships still matter in the AI age, even as artificial intelligence and technology continue to accelerate across business and society.
As AI reshapes how we work, build companies, and make decisions, this episode focuses on the fundamentals — trust, integrity, and long-term relationships — that technology can’t replace.

It feels like everything right now is about AI, speed, efficiency, and automation. But as technology moves faster, I’ve been thinking more about the basics that often get overlooked.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why human relationships compound over time
• Lessons from my early career in finance and wealth management
• How long-term trust quietly creates opportunity
• Why efficiency gained from AI should be reinvested into people

This isn’t anti-technology — I use AI every day.
It’s a reminder that as AI and automation increase productivity, relationships remain one of the most valuable advantages in business and life.
