Normally, I don’t publish my live video sessions to this audio feed, but my conversation this past Friday was just too critical to keep locked away on a video player. I was joined by my good friend Travis Hahler , Senior Director of Strategy & Transformation at Salesforce and founder of The Neurological Nomad . We grabbed the steering wheel of the AI conversation and steered it away from the typical tech hype, diving face-first into the messy realities of human biology and organizational behavior. If you listened to my previous episode on AI Agent Sprawl , you know how unmapped autonomous digital tools are fracturing corporate architectures and blowing up budgets. But why are we so eager to pass the buck to a machine? That is the exact bridge we cross in this episode. When the unrelenting firehose of technological change hits us, our brains get exhausted. We hit a wall of change fatigue, and we naturally choose the path of least resistance: we either push back with heavy resistance, or we completely check out and hand our human agency over to AI because it just feels "easier." This conversation is the perfect primer for later this week, when I publish my deep-dive Substack article on the progressive loss of human agency. Consider this episode the psychological toolkit you need to understand how our biology is being played, how to build true psychological safety, and why embracing strategic friction is the only way to drive actual business outcomes without breaking your people. Plus, Travis’s new book, Rethink Resistance: Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change , officially drops this coming Tuesday, June 23rd—and we share a sneak peek of what to expect.
