In short

  • Watch yourself in everyday situations and write down when you decide from your gut instead of your head.

and if you want to find out what I'll never learn, then even more so.
01:46 Andre Ottlik
Before we wrap up today, Jules and I have two quick tips for you to try out over the next forty eight hours. Tip number one is ask your team or yourself this simple question What can we do as humans that no machine could ever do? Just gather the answers and let them sink in.
02:09 Jules
Tip two watch yourself in everyday situations. When do you make a decision from your gut instead of your head? Write it down. I'm curious to see what you discover.
02:19 Andre Ottlik
