## Resource

Michael Seibel, partner emeritus at Y Combinator, reveals how founders can thrive in the rapidly changing AI landscape by discarding outdated assumptions and embracing new possibilities. Drawing from his experience supporting thousands of startups, Seibel explains why traditional office hours remain critical for redirecting founder focus and unlocking transformative insights. He shares compelling examples of how AI is revolutionizing healthcare and financial services by eliminating rote tasks rather than replacing expertise. Leaders will gain practical frameworks for evaluating AI opportunities, cultivating technological fearlessness in the next generation, and maintaining perspective during the decade-long journey of building lasting companies.
