Think youāve got all your project bases covered? Think again. In this episode, Emily Laird calls out the hidden holes in your plans that even your espresso-fueled brain misses. Forget the coddling, AI is here to serve up brutal honesty and a reality check, sniffing out the overlooked people, missing voices, and embarrassing assumptions tucked into your āflawlessā work. Hear how large language models catch what you donāt, why your teamās digital transformation plan probably wonāt fly in rural Iowa, and how a simple AI prompt can make you look like the office genius (while saving you from your own blind spots). This episode is your shortcut to ruthless self-awareness, no ego spared, sandwich possibly stolen.
