Everybody's freaking out about AI taking jobs. Dusty Holcomb says AI isn't coming for your job. It's coming for your excuses. Dusty is the founder and CEO of Arcqus Group, a leadership consultancy out of Charlotte. He spent two decades in the C-suite at AAA of the Carolinas, then ran Red Stag Fulfillment as CEO. Brian and Dusty get into why AI is really a leadership problem hiding in a tech costume. They cover why "it's not about you" is the first rule of leadership, the gap between execution and clarity, why self-leadership isn't selfish, and why being behind on AI is okay as long as you get your hands dirty.

You're just leading a machine. 🔗 Dusty's free leadership-in-the-age-of-AI manifesto: https://ancientintelligencebook.com 📧 dusty@arcqusgroup.com · LinkedIn: Dusty Holcomb 📖 Ancient Intelligence: How Wise Leaders Will Win in the Age of AI (coming 2027) 🎗️ Thi…
