136: How Humans Still Trump AI

💡
Cultivating Resilience is a weekly newsletter about rebounding from setbacks and reinventing the future—by 3x founder and executive coach Jason Shen.

I bought a muffin this morning as a little treat on the way home from a walk and it was stale—don't you hate that? It was probably better for my blood sugar though.

Anyway, trying something new and sending this newsletter on a Friday instead of a Saturday since I realize a lot of folks subscribe with their work email. Let's see if it makes a difference on open rates!

1. Imperfection

2. Emotion

3. Intention

4. Opinion

Read the rest of the list on Twitter (I went public again b/c I like to link to tweets): Biography, Accountability, Fidelity, Presence, Identity.
