Hi, Matt here.

I can't believe that this month is the six-year anniversary of Think Fast, Talk Smart's launch.

And similarly, I'm an extrovert, and I've had some of great conversations in checkout lines and, uh, with Uber drivers, and I've just been blown away.

Jeremy Utley, who is, runs the design school at Stanford and talked to me about creativity, said that no idea occurs in a vacuum.

They generally happen in conversation or through exposure.

Right.

So there are many ways to use AI.

Uh, I, I'm a big fan, and we learned this from Jeremy Utley, who, who taught us that you actually have to have a conversation with AI.

It's not an oracle that, that magically gives you results.

So if you have a big presentation, if you are on a panel, if you have a meeting to go to, you can use an AI tool to role-play.

Welcome to this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart: The Podcast.

We're revisiting my conversation with Jeremy Utley and Kian Gohar to explore how conversational AI can become a true thinking partner, helping individuals and teams solve problems more creatively and communicate more effectively.

Enjoy this journey into our communication vault.
