Don’t Surrender Your Thinking: How to Use AI Without Losing Your Judgment | John Bennett
In this episode of Ask For It, I sit down with John Bennett, co-founder of Formidably (https://www.formidably.com/)and author of Don’t Surrender Your Thinking, to explore how we can use AI without losing our judgment.
John explains why the real danger of AI isn’t its intelligence, it’s its persuasive power, and how automation bias can quietly erode critical thinking if we’re not intentional.
We discuss what responsible AI adoption should look like for corporate leaders, how sales teams can leverage AI without losing authenticity, and John even shares practical advice on using AI to craft cold outreach messages while keeping a human voice.
He also introduces his HAHA method, a framework for integrating AI into decision-making while keeping humans accountable and in control.
If you’re using AI in your work (or thinking about it), this conversation will change how you approach it.

In this episode of Ask For It, I sit down with comedian Dinara Kerey to talk about what it really looks like to build a comedy career while working a corporate IT job.
By day, she was navigating meetings and metrics. By night, she was stepping onto stages, testing jokes, learning, and building confidence.
We talk about:
Balancing stability with ambition
Asking for opportunities instead of waiting to be chosen
And what it actually feels like to bet on yourself
This conversation is funny, honest, and grounded in the reality of chasing something bigger while still building a career.
If you’ve ever felt pulled between security and passion, this one’s for you.
