This Forbes groundbreaking female entrepreneur in South-East Asia and a mom of two reveals her greatest life lesson -- and what we CAN'T learn from AI.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ayesha Khanna — CEO of Addo AI, advisor to governments, and a global voice on the future of artificial intelligence. A woman who has spent her life at the intersection of algorithms and empathy.

We talk about the early moments that shaped her — from a village in Pakistan where she learned the power of everyday intelligence, to building AI systems that are meant to serve people, not overshadow them.

We talk about leadership as a woman in a male-dominated industry. About raising children while raising a company. About grief, aging, and finding your own stillness.

And above all, we talk about what it means to stay human in a world being rewritten by AI.
