A proposito di questo titolo
If AI still feels optional to you, this conversation might change your mind.
In this episode of 101 Talks, I’m joined by Sash Mohapatra —
former Microsoft leader (20 years), founder of The Rift, and creator of Pollzy.
Sash doesn’t talk about AI tools or hype.
He talks about capability, mindset, systems, and upgrading your future self.
We go deep into:
+ Why layoffs can become launchpads
+ Why capability beats information
+ How non-technical professionals can actually use AI
+ Why AI is a geopolitical shift, not just a tech trend
+ And how Sash accidentally built Pollzy using AI — in public
This episode is especially for:
+ Professionals feeling overwhelmed by AI
+ Founders, operators, and builders
+ Anyone wondering “Where do I even start?”
