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.

Everyone around him was rethinking the police. Cruz was thinking about his grandma living in the hood and wanting a police presence there. Those voices don't fit the narrative, so they don't get heard. Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V16VbciWjE The Brian Nichols Show #952
