Andrew Keen and I have been friends for the better part of almost two decades. We’ve crosses paths many times during the shift from Web 1.0 to 2.0, the rise of the iPhone and the mobile revolution, and now the consumerization of AI. We’ve also shared the stage around world and even crossed each other in airports around the world!

Not only am I proud to call him a friend, I’m also a big fan of his work and thinking.

I had the privilege of joining Andrew on his popular show, Keen On. Please watch it here…👀

Show Description

MINDSHIFT: Lessons from Silicon Valley on how to transform leadership and drive innovation.

Do we shape the future or does it shape us?

That’s the core question in Brian Solis’ new book, Mindshift which provides lessons for corporate executives in transforming leadership and driving innovation. Like so many other futurists, Solis’ work focuses on how we can become irreplaceable in the age of AI. Agency still lies with us, he acknowledges. But unless we use that agency to shape the future, Solis warns, then that future will eventually make all of us eminently replaceable.
