  • Why Critical Thinking is the Ultimate AI Power-Up | Don’t Get Left Behind
    Feb 24 2026

    AI can build an app in seconds, but can it tell you if it’s actually any good?

    Daria Tarawneh (Head of Design at Miro) joins Steve Mackie to explain why Critical Thinking is now the ultimate competitive advantage. We move past the fear of AI "cheating" and dive into how you can use it to launch ideas in days rather than years.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Judgment over Labor: Why you're now paid for your brain, not your manual skills.

    • The 9-Month Mistake: How skipping market research kills startups.

    • Vibe Coding: Building products using only natural language.

    • The Human Edge: Why empathy is the one thing AI can’t replicate.

    "You don’t need the manual skills of 20 years ago. You need to know how to use your brain."Daria Tarawneh
