What if AI isn’t the problem… but the amplifier?

In this episode, Laurent Cohen—an entrepreneur with over 30 years of real-world experience—breaks down what most people are getting wrong about AI, business, and adaptation. This isn’t hype or theory. This is coming from someone who has built, lost, rebuilt, and stayed in the game through multiple economic shifts.

We talk about why people shouldn’t try to “learn AI” in isolation, how it actually shows up inside real businesses, and why it will only amplify who you already are—good or bad. Laurent shares hard-earned lessons from navigating failure, starting over, and staying grounded in what actually matters: people.

If you feel overwhelmed by AI, stuck in your business, or unsure how to adapt without losing your edge—this conversation will reset how you think about all of it.

🎙️ What we cover:

– AI in business (without the hype)

– Entrepreneurship and resilience

– Adapting in fast-changing markets

– Why most people are approaching AI wrong

– Building with intuition, not just strategy

– Turning setbacks into leverage
