About this listen

 AI is reshaping the world at a pace humanity has never seen, and the real challenge is not simply understanding the technology. It is learning how to remain deeply human while everything around us accelerates. Authentic & Agentic is the place where leaders come to make sense of that tension. Hosted by serial entrepreneur Jayson Manship, the show pairs clear analysis with honest conversation and real examples you can put into practice. Every episode looks at how AI shows up in the real world, from boardrooms to classrooms to kitchen tables, and explores what it means to build, lead and love in a time shaped by algorithms. The hard things are yet to come. It is time to lean in.All Rights Reserved Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Politics & Government
