The Talk You Keep Putting Off: How Do You Use AI to Learn? (Friday Show #11)

Come find us in our free community: https://www.skool.com/everwise-ai-367... Every leader has a talk they keep putting off. Justin hates the word "difficult" for it, because difficult is about you. He calls it a constructive conversation, because that one is about them. Tim uses AI to rehearse the talk before he has it, and he tells it to fight him on everything. Kosta asks the question he likes best: what do you need from me? This is the Everwise Friday Show. Every Friday, Kosta, Justin, and Tim compare notes on one question about AI, learning, and work, no scripts, no pretending. This week: how to walk into a hard conversation, and how AI can help you get ready for it. In this episode: two kinds of hard conversation, Edge of Tomorrow and living the day until you know it, role-play the talk with AI and tell it to push back, why "difficult" is about you and "constructive" is about them, what Groundhog Day teaches leaders, the hero arc, why humility goes missing, you never know what someone's day was like, go in curious and let them talk for 20 minutes, the clarifying question, "what do you need from me?", when someone's job is on the line, the superstar who skips the rules, a prompt for your next hard talk, what AI can and can't do for you, track the good things too, practice it more than once, and CC, not to be confused with carbon copy. Come tell us about a conversation you have been putting off. Leave out the names. We read everything, and we answer every single comment.
