While most people fear that AI is coming for their jobs, the real disruption isn't the technology—it’s the culture behind it. In this episode, Nathaniel Schooler sits down with leadership expert Tom Schin to discuss why AI won’t necessarily replace workers, but it will definitely replace "weak managers" who refuse to adapt.

They dive deep into why 85% of AI projects fail due to poisonous cultures and how a "lifelong learner" mindset is the only way to stay relevant in an increasingly automated world.
