How Do You Run a Company When You Can’t See Six Months Ahead? - with Axios CEO Jim VandeHei
Jim VandeHei joins Henrik and Jeremy around the launch of his new book, Simplify: Do 50% More With 50% Less, co-authored with Mike Allen and Roy Schwartz. In the conversation, Jim shares how he’s leading Axios through AI, from turning himself into an “AI lab rat” to rethinking how the company works.At Axios, Jim gave everyone access to ChatGPT, brought in training, and invited employees who took naturally to the technology to help others across the company. He also shares how AI fellows working directly with him prototype new ideas, why companies should delete unnecessary work before automating it, and how Axios is preparing for a world where more information moves from the open web into social platforms and personalized LLMs.The conversation ends with a bigger question: what story are we telling people about an AI-enabled future? Jim worries that the negative case for AI is vivid and easy to understand, while the positive case often amounts to curing cancer or eliminating work. He makes the case for something more tangible: using AI to make people’s work and lives better while preserving human connection and the feeling that what people do still matters.Jim's new book: Simplify: Do 50% more with 50% less“Confessions of an AI Lab Rat”: Read here!Axios: Axios.comJim's LinkedIn: LinkedIn.com/JimVandeHeiKey TakeawaysLeaders need to become AI lab ratsLeaders need firsthand experience with AI to understand what it can do and give others permission to experiment.Give the CEO an AI “SEAL team”Jim’s AI fellows help him prototype ideas quickly, stay current, and experiment outside the normal company processes.Delete before you automateBefore using AI to make existing work faster, ask which meetings, processes, and activities shouldn’t exist at all.AI needs a better story about what goes rightThe negative future of AI is easy to picture.

From Knowledge Worker to Intelligence Worker: Why Human Judgment Matters More With AI - with OpenAI’s Brice Challamel
Bryce Chalamel, now head of AI strategy and adoption at OpenAI, argues that AI is transforming knowledge workers into intelligence workers by elevating the cognitive surface of work—comparable to the shift from writing to printing. The real challenge isn’t the technology, but the human mindset: trust must be earned, not dictated, and success hinges on emotional readiness, not just technical capability.

Why Companies That Are Great at Innovation Still Fail - with Stanford Professor Charles O'Reilly
The core challenge facing modern organizations is balancing exploitation of existing successful models with exploration of new innovations, especially in the age of AI. While many companies focus on efficiency (exploitation), long-term survival requires deliberate investment in exploration, cultural adaptability, and structural separation of new ventures — as exemplified by Amazon and Microsoft’s transformations. The average life expectancy of an S&P 500 company is now projected to drop to just 12 years, signaling a systemic failure in organizational adaptability. True resilience comes not from predicting the future but from designing systems that can discover it through experimentation, scaling, and cultural reinforcement of risk-taking.

The Unexpected Economics of AGI - with Christian Catalini, Tech Founder and Co-Creator of Libra
Christian Catalini, a tech founder and former academic, discusses his recent paper on the economic implications of approaching artificial general intelligence (AGI), arguing that while intelligence is becoming commodified and cheap, the critical bottleneck for humans will be verification—the ability to judge whether AI-generated outputs meet a standard of quality, accuracy, or intent. He emphasizes that this shift demands individuals and organizations to rethink their roles, not as producers of intelligence, but as verifiers, directors, and orchestrators of AI systems.
