FOF 213 | Dr. MJ Vignone. Emotionally Intelligent Leadership.
Executive coach and HeartWired host Dr. MJ Vignone joins Mateo to argue that as AI makes intelligence cheap and abundant, emotional intelligence becomes the defining human advantage. They discuss emotional "de-skilling," the loneliness crisis, the identity questions leaders now face, where AI helps and where it shouldn't, and a simple daily habit — the pause — for leading human in an automated world.
FOF 212 | James Robson. Ethical Data Sharing.
Data protection specialist and former UK Labour Party DPO James Robson argues that ethical data sharing is the foundation of trust and innovation, not a barrier to it. He reframes GDPR as an enabler ("brakes on a car to go faster"), contrasts Europe's human-rights approach with America's commercial one, and asks who gets to decide who we are as AI increasingly makes that call for us.
FOF 211 | Francis Rodino. Noise vs Trust. Marketing in the AI Age.
Francis Rodino — AI Growth Architect, founder of Lead Hero, and author of Leads Machine — argues that in an internet flooded with AI content, trust beats volume. The conversation covers why most companies have a systems problem rather than a lead-generation problem, how to understand what customers truly desire ("nobody just wants a solar panel"), the widening gap between quality and "AI slop," how to make marketing human again by doing the work, and why — for now — the brands and experts that win are the ones that feel most human.
FOF 210 | Carl Rosenberg. Assumptology.
Carl-Johan Rosenberg, creator of the concept of Assumptology, argues that the assumptions we never examine are the ones that cost us — in everyday conversations and billion-dollar decisions alike. The conversation covers what assumptions really are ("the building blocks of thought"), the two primary risks they create, why you can't simply trust a large language model's output (and should cross-check it like a journalist, even using different models to check each other), why children ask better questions because they carry fewer assumptions, and why making your assumptions explicit is a key advantage in the age of AI.
