Pings to Presence | Ché Ugwuala, Global Lead, Android Channel Partner Marketing at Google
Update: 2025-07-02
Description
When Ché’s kids called out the calendar for stealing their dad, he hit pause and rewrote the script—one that puts family, mental health, and meaningful work on the same page. In this episode, Jolie and Ché riff on work‑life boundaries, AI as a creativity amplifier (not a crutch), and how inpatient care can be a springboard, not a setback. If your to‑do list is louder than your loved ones, this convo will realign your priorities.
Key Takeaways
• Vulnerability attracts connection—share the messy middle, not just the highlight reel
• Quality time > quantity hustle: your presence is your superpower
• AI should extend human creativity, not replace it
• Not every ping is a fire drill
• Celebrate small wins to build momentum (and protect mental health)
