You don’t need a PhD to get AI—you just need Dan Chuparkoff.

A former tech leader at Google and McKinsey, Dan now helps people make sense of innovation as the “Understandable Technology” expert. From dropping out of college to redefining how leaders use AI, this episode is packed with mic-drop moments, real-world use cases, and fresh ways to rethink how you work.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

1.) Why he dropped out of college and how that actually served him better in the long-run

2.) How using AI can be thought of as simply as finding small "copy/paste" moments

3.) How leaders should think about using AI to be more efficient (and why AI might not always be the answer)

4.) The biggest changes he sees coming with AI and work

5.) One company's unique approach to leveraging all those meeting notetakers' notes
