Emotional Intelligence in the Age of AI: Rich Hua (Ex-AWS Leader)

Is the speed of AI moving faster than your nervous system can handle? You aren’t alone.We often assume that to survive the Age of AI, we need to become more like machines - grinding harder, processing faster, and shutting off our emotions. But today’s guest argues that this instinct is biologically guaranteeing our failure.In this episode with Rich Hua (former Chief EQ Evangelist at Amazon), we cover:The "Safety Trap": Why we mistakenly buy software to solve human problems (and why 70% of AI projects fail).The Physics of Burnout: Understanding "The Jerk" and the violence of technological acceleration on the nervous system.The MIT Data: Why high collective IQ has nothing to do with individual PhDs (and the "X-factor" that actually makes a team smart).The 2030 Question: What is a human's purpose when AI is 1,000x smarter than us?If you feel like you’re drowning in new tools and struggling to keep up, this conversation is your permission slip to stop trying to be a robot and start being human again.#Emotional Intelligence #AI #LeadershipStrategy #Burnout #MentalHealth #Neuroscience #FutureofWork #Soft Skills #RichHuaConnect with Tatjana:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tatjana.moonshotTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tatjana.moonshotLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatjana-pandurevic-a8071bba/Email: info@leadwithtatjana.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tatjana.pandurevicConnect with Rich:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richhua/Send us a text
