EPISODE DESCRIPTION
📌 Make teamwork flow faster with Miro Flows https://miro.pxf.io/xL0za1 @MiroHQ on YouTube In this episode, Marina sits down with Conor Grennan, Chief AI Architect at NYU Stern School of Business and founder of AI Mindset. Conor works with Fortune 500 companies and teaches business leaders how to actually work with AI. His core idea is simple and uncomfortable: most people aren’t behind on AI because of tools, they’re behind because of behavior. They break down why using AI like Google wastes most of its potential, how to build AI memory across platforms in minutes, and what really makes candidates stand out as entry-level roles rapidly change. If you want to stop “using AI” and start thinking with it, this episode is for you.
