🔥S4:E37AI RECAP🎙️Highlights with Dr. P. W. Singer
Couldn’t join us live for one of the most impactful episodes of the year? We’ve got you covered. Our AI Agents, Joe AI & Beth AI, are breaking down the top 10 minutes of insights from Dr. P. W. Singer—one of the foremost futurists and strategists in national security.
Dr. Singer is a New York Times bestselling author whose work (Cybersecurity and Cyberwar, Wired for War, LikeWar, Ghost Fleet) has shaped U.S. military doctrine, tech innovation, and global policy. His books are required reading for U.S. Navy Information Warfare Officers (including myself!) and inspire leaders across defense and high-tech sectors.
In this recap, we explore:• The rise of “useful fiction” — why storytelling is a powerful leadership and strategy tool• AI and future warfare — how cyber, robotics, and information dominance are reshaping conflict• Multi-domain leadership — lessons for navigating complexity across military and tech environments• Servant leadership in innovation — building trust while driving disruptive change
