Building Trust and the Limits of AI in Business Relationships

Building Trust and the Limits of AI in Business Relationships good friend is what I did in the beginning of your podcast. I sincerely gave a positive escalation to your personal assistant, Virginia, because she was rocking and rolling this morning, making sure everything was perfect. When you do something like that for somebody, it's going to separate me from the 999 other people that have been on your podcast and and have contacted you for business. And so when it comes down to choosing somebody to work with, the contract, the recommendation, you put everything else aside, the prices and stuff, and you say, you know, prior to any sort of money exchange or contract, look what he said about Virginia. Look at the sort of due diligence we did about each other and we're really interested in one another. And I think that's the sort of individual that I could work with long-term because when the going gets tough, I know Richie's not gonna have any surprises. He's gonna give you a phone contact and let you know what's happening and then have a game plan. And that's maturity and impulse control. And it was one of the toughest things I had to learn. But these were some of the best lessons I had is the relationships I had with my clients when I had to make that contact, Dean. I tell you what, AI can't make that contact, Dean. How can AI break news? Unless they're telling you your lights are shut off or your bank's got nothing in it, zero balance. You don't wanna hear that from AI. AI & Data Driven Leadership podcast.
