About this episode

Jack Swift discusses leadership in the age of AI and the principles outlined in his book, Level 7 Leadership.

What happens to humans in the age of AI? Steven Miyao welcomes back Jack Swift — a West Point graduate and former Army Ranger who became an executive at Janus Henderson and then CEO of the AI fintech Tiffin — to discuss his new book, Level 7 Leadership. Jack explains why leaders must shift from knowing to sensing, why "I don't know" and "I made a mistake" are the two most powerful phrases an executive can say, and why AI amplifies whatever a leader brings — clarity or chaos. From breathing resets and meditation to moving beyond servant leadership, this conversation is a practical and spiritual guide to leading (and living) on your terms in the age of AI.Chapters00:00 AI amplifies what the leader brings01:36 Welcome back, Jack Swift02:13 Why Jack wrote Level 7 Leadership06:15 From knowing to sensing: the new leadership operating system09:51 What is sensing?
