AI is running quietly in the background. 💡 The only real choice left: ➤ Learn how AI works ➤ Or stay in the dark while it shapes your life For business leaders, the cost of ignorance is no longer tolerable.

“I wanted AI to do my laundry so I could focus on creativity. But AI is writing poetry—and I’m stuck doing dishes." This one line perfectly captures the current AI paradox. We dreamt of AI automating mundane work, but it's taking over creative domains instead. 🎭 AI is composing music, generating art, and writing content. 🧼 Meanwhile, we’re still buried in routine. As business leaders, this isn’t just funny - IT IS A WAKEUP CALL! Which brings us to the questions: 👉 Are we pointing AI at the right problems? 👉 Or are we mesmerized by what can be done, instead of what should be? The answer? Realigning AI with human priorities. Let me know in the comments on what are the tasks that you use AI for. hashtag#TheFounderCatalyst hashtag#GenerativeAI hashtag#AIforBusiness hashtag#AIforCXOs hashtag#EverydayAI

In this short clip, I reflect on a common leadership gap: teams don’t always share uncomfortable truths early. But great leaders build a culture where it’s safe to speak up — early and often. Let’s not wait for things to break before fixing them.

Why CEOs hear BAD NEWS too late?
#shorts Chris Miller, the author of Chip War, was recently in India and delivered a powerful message: we can’t wait for the perfect ecosystem to start chip manufacturing — we must build it as we go. That mindset applies to startups too. As founders, don’t wait for the “perfect” hire. Instead, identify smart individuals and invest in their growth through upskilling. Build your team while building your business.
