Australia’s productivity recovery needs action: faster housing approvals, more efficient construction, reliable and affordable energy, stronger investment and competition. AI has enormous potential. We need to turn it into real gains in how we work and live.

If you enjoyed Nexus, which I recommended last year, you will also “enjoy” this interview with Yuval Noah Harari from The Economist’s Insider programme. Thought provoking and, at times, unsettling on AI, intelligence and what it means to be human. #AI #Intelligence #Humanity

Rest in peace Patricia and I hope you are reacquainted with “Crazy John” in the afterlife. You are a positive human who will be missed by all.

The Japanese call it Kintsugi. Broken pottery is repaired with gold, not to hide the cracks, but to honour them. Life works the same way. Our imperfections are not what define us. The growth that comes from overcoming them does.

Machines (Ai & robots) do the repeatable work. Humans do trust, taste, leadership, care, judgement and relationship. For me the best companies combine both! They use machines but deliver trusted experiences via services.

Watching Bob Rubin when I ran CAI at #Citigroup taught me something I’ve never forgotten. It’s much harder to ask a great question than to give a great answer. When I interview people now, I invite them to ask me a question. For me sharp questions reveal sharper minds.

The best productivity hack I’ve discovered in 60 years? Sleep. It’s free. Wish I’d figured that out earlier!

Best career advice I ever received: always hire A-grade people. A-players hire A-players. Hire a B, and you’ll end up with Ds. Had a great conversation with the AFR’s Sally Patten on leadership, talent and lessons from failure.

Human mortality is non linear and is in fact exponential. The things you do to invest in your life especially by the time you get to 45-64 is really important for the quality you will have
