The Secret to Surviving AI: It's Not What You Think | Jim Morris

We are more connected than any generation in human history. More followers. More contacts. More ways to reach each other than ever before. And we have never been lonelier.In this episode, Jake sits down with keynote speaker, CEO of Human Touch Publishing, and author of Connect or Die: How to Survive AI, Jim Morris. Jim walks into companies that are stuck and finds the thing nobody else can see. Broken trust. Missing connection. Tension underneath the numbers. Then he fixes it. One company went from $250K to $1.5M. Another from $400K to over $1M. Same businesses. What changed was connection.But this conversation goes far beyond business. Jim opens up about growing up in the house with the pool while the opioid epidemic quietly tore his family apart. The night his dad pulled a stranger from a burning car and taught him what integrity really means. Rolling change at the kitchen table to buy diapers. And the moment a two year old in a yellow sundress said five words that saved his life. If you have ever felt surrounded by people and still completely alone, this episode is for you.Most people who watch my content don't subscribe to the podcast. Not because they don't want to.
