Episode Notes

What if everything Silicon Valley tells us about AI is completely backwards?

In this mind-bending conversation, I sit down with Stephanie Sylvestre - co-founder of Avatar Buddy, Harvard fellow, and someone who's about to completely change how you think about artificial intelligence.

While tech bros obsess over replacing humans, Stephanie asks a radically different question: "How can AI help people become the best version of themselves?"

Her answer might shock you.

🎯 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why AI is actually a social construct (not just fancy software) • How AI will INCREASE human connection instead of destroying it • The recruiting revolution happening right under our noses • Why Avatar Buddy trains AI like employees, not algorithms • A mind-bending vision of blockchain + AI that sounds like sci-fi but isn't • The Canadian who changed everything for her startup journey

🚀 ABOUT STEPHANIE SYLVESTRE:

This isn't your typical Silicon Valley founder. Stephanie spent years breaking barriers in corporate America before becoming a Harvard fellow developing economic empowerment frameworks. She's led flawless digital transformations during COVID-19 and still volunteers her weekends building homes with Habitat for Humanity.

💡 THE BIG INSIGHT:

"AI is Google magnified a thousand times" - and it's reshaping how we work, think, and connect with each other in ways most experts are completely missing.

This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about the future of technology and human connection.
