Is AI making you a lazy thinker? In this episode of Daring Breakthroughs, host Jenn Landis sits down with transformation executive and AI governance expert Tatiana Ferreira to discuss the evolving landscape of leadership in the age of AI. While many professionals are focused on adopting new tools, the real challenge lies in maintaining original thought and critical thinking.

Tati shares her powerful 70-30 framework, explaining that while AI can handle the bulk of "busy work," there is a vital 30% that only humans can do: tasks requiring judgment, nuance, and compassion. We dive deep into why you should never outsource your thinking to a machine and how to use AI as a "challenge partner" to identify blind spots and shoot holes in your strategic plans. If you want to gain a competitive edge and lead with unstoppable confidence, you cannot afford to relegate your executive functioning to an algorithm.

In This Episode, We Cover:

💡The Shift in Leadership: Why the "economy of output" is ending and the "economy of judgment" is beginning.
💡The 70-30 Framework: Understanding the specific 30% of work that requires a human touch.
💡The Danger of Outsourcing Thought: Why relying on AI for original ideas is a "warning" for modern executives.
💡AI as a Sparring Partner: How to use "alien intelligence" to challenge your hypotheses and find blind spots.
💡The Tati Test: A practical experiment to improve your AI prompts this week.

Stop waiting until you feel “ready.”

That’s what we’re told, right?
Get one more credential. One more approval. One more sign that it’s safe.

In this episode, I sit down with Tatiana Ferreira to talk about what actually creates a breakthrough — and it’s not confidence first. It’s courage first.

Tatianna (Tati) gets real about career reinvention and what it actually looks like emotionally, strategically, and professionally. She shares lessons from leading complex organizations, navigating multiple career pivots, and learning to say “yes” long before confidence arrives. This conversation dives deep into the emotional reality of reinvention, the risk of failure, and how leaders can actively create opportunities instead of waiting for them.

If you’re navigating change, considering a career pivot, or learning how to grow through uncertainty, this episode is for you.

Inside This Podcast Episode:
💡Saying Yes Before Confidence: Why waiting for certainty keeps you stuck — and how bold yeses create momentum.
💡Courageous Yes vs Reckless Yes: How to set limits and evaluate risk before taking big leaps.
💡Failure, Experimentation & Growth: Why innovation requires failure budgets and personal investment.
💡The Emotional Reality of Reinvention: Why reinvention often means losing status, feeling invisible, and sitting with silence.
💡Building a Support Network: Why you need a personal board that challenges you — not just supports you.
💡The Biggest Breakthrough Lesson: Every major breakthrough begins with a yes.

If this resonates, don’t just listen — take action.

What do you do when you get fired from your dream job? In this podcast episode of Daring Breakthroughs, host Jenn Landis sits down with banking executive Becky Fields Wilson to discuss how to handle getting fired and find a better job. Becky shares her raw journey of being a bank president who was suddenly told she was "no longer needed" and had to clean out her desk the same day.

This conversation is a masterclass in the professional mindset shifts for career growth. We dive deep into "Thought Work"—the practical science of taking negative thoughts captive and using your imagination to dream up your next big move rather than spiraling into worry. If you are currently navigating career setbacks in a tough economy, Becky’s "Positive on Purpose" framework provides the "bridge thoughts" you need to move from discouragement to your next great opportunity.

Inside this Podcast Episode:

• The 90-Second Reset: How to disrupt the chemical flood of panic to make better strategic decisions.
• The Result Framework: Understand how Circumstances → Thoughts → Feelings → Actions create your results.
• Mastermind Groups: How to form a personal board of directors to normalize your experience and destroy imposter syndrome.
• Recession-Proofing: Why you don't have to "sign up" for an economic downturn and how to find thriving companies.

=============================

Resources Mentioned:

• The 90-Second Rule: Referenced by Jenn Landis, this concept was coined by neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor in her work, My Stroke of Insight.
• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
• Break Up. Break In. Breakthrough! by Jenn Landis
• Coaching insights from Bob Proctor and Brooke Castillo
