  • "She Advises CEOs on AI. Here's What They're Too Afraid to Admit." | Alice Stein's unfiltered take
    Mar 11 2026

    🎙️ AI didn't arrive quietly. It kicked the door open.

    Everyone talks about what AI can do. Very few decide how it's used. Alice Stein lives in that gap — between Silicon Valley speed and boardroom reality. She doesn't build models. She helps leaders decide what to do, and what NOT to do.

    This conversation wasn't about tools. It was about judgment. Not speed — responsibility.

  • "AI Isn’t About Tools. It’s About Who You Become.” | Sash Mohapatra on the AI Shift
    Mar 9 2026

    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?”

    ⏱️ Timestamps

    00:00 – Why AI is not optional anymore
    00:50 – 20 years at Microsoft → walking away to build

  • Will AI Replace Professionals in 10 Years? | Vincent Teyssier on the Next Era of Work |
    Mar 4 2026

    This Conversation Felt Different.

    Some episodes are about technology.
    Some are about careers.

    This one was about consequences.

    When I sat down with Vincent Teyssier, a technologist who started coding at 10, served in the Air Force, studied justice and ethics at Harvard, and now builds AI systems in wealth management - I knew this wouldn’t be a surface-level AI discussion.

    But I didn’t expect this level of clarity.

    We talked about:
    Why massive job displacement may happen sooner than we think
    Why most AI builders can’t truly think about consequences
    Why leadership is measured by delivery, not perception
    Why exposure matters more than curriculum in an AI-first world
    And why AI might soon become your teammate

    One line that stayed with me:

    “It’s not because you have a generative AI hammer that every problem is a nail.”

    This episode isn’t about hype.
    It’s about discipline, ethics, trade-offs, and how serious builders are actually thinking.

    Vincent doesn’t sugarcoat the future.
    He talks about job displacement, robotics, agent farms, and AI elitism — bluntly.

    But he also talks about opportunity.
    About surfing the wave of change instead of resisting it.

    If you're a:

    Student trying to stay relevant
    Founder building with AI
    Engineer transitioning into leadership
    Or professional wondering where this is headed

    This conversation will stretch how you think.

    ⏱️ Chapters

    00:40 – Coding at 10 & dropping out
    03:10 – What the Air Force teaches about limits
    05:50 – Why study justice & ethics at Harvard?
    09:30 – Do AI builders think about consequences?
    11:20 – Economic shock & AI displacement
    14:00 – The rise of generalist specialists
    17:30 – Exposure is greater than curriculum in AI
    20:00 – The hardest leadership lesson
    23:00 – AI in wealth management: hallucinations & risk
    27:50 – Guardrails, prompt injection & security
    31:20 – AI agents as team members
    33:20 – Rapid fire
    34:40 – Final reflections
