Keep the Vision, Accelerate the Work
Chris Ducker has sold companies, written bestsellers, and built thriving communities. One of the best lessons I've learned from him is that business is "P2P" - person to person. He's coached thousands of people on the principles of personal branding and in this conversation, we talk about anchoring trust, relationships, and legacy. His new book, The Long Haul Leader, releases this September.
How misusing AI can quietly erode your brand.
Why books still matter and how to use storytelling to build trust in a noisy world.
The increasing importance of live events for those who lead online communities.

Uli Iserloh is a longtime friend and brilliant marketer. One of my favorite things I joke with him about is he executes tasks with classic German precision :-)
I wasn't surprised when Uli told me he was going to use AI to write a book, but I was surprised how quickly he finished it and how well it turned out. That said, I think the type of book he wrote - an instructive, how-to book, is more conducive to this method than say a memoir, inspirational title, or prescriptive non-fiction book. Whatever your opinions on AI and books, this is worth tuning into.
The 4-step system Uli used to go from idea to Amazon in just 7 days
Why the book outline is the most critical part—and where 50% of your time should go
The surprising way Uli added cliffhanger stories—even though he hates storytelling

I've known Lynn Friesth for years and one of the most inspiring things about him is how he continually pushes himself to learn, grow, and embrace new technologies. He embodies the role of a "modern elder."
Lynn comes from a storied engineering career and has a wise and grounded perspective on how new technologies have historically affected business and where it can cause big problems. One of my favorite takeaways from this session: AI can help you make bigger mistakes, faster. You'll learn from his decades of real-world experience and hopefully be inspired by how Lynn started his own AI.
The bolt that broke the factory: a cautionary tale about efficiency vs. fragility
How solopreneurs unknowingly sabotage themselves by optimizing in silos
What systems thinking looks like when you’re building with AI tools and agents
The uncomfortable question of legacy: what happens when your AI outlives you?
