Founders Across Borders is a podcast where we talk to entrepreneurs who are building startups while living in a different country. Each week, we hear real stories from founders who moved abroad how they started their business, the challenges they faced, and what they’ve learned from working in a new place.
If you’re curious about global startups, moving to a new country, or starting something of your own, this podcast is for you.
While AI Gets Smarter - This Is Your Only Advantage | Prof. Tim Gilman-Szefczyk on Art Thinking, Improbable Ideas & Human Creativity | Founders Across Borders
Professor Tim Gilman-Szefczyk has spent over two decades at the intersection of art, philosophy and business, building miniature worlds in Times Square, growing a multimillion-dollar climate nonprofit in Brooklyn, and teaching social impact at NYU Stern. Now he's part of the Improbable Art Thinking movement - a framework that gives anyone, artist or not, the tools to think in ways AI fundamentally cannot.
In this episode he breaks down why AI will always choose the most probable answer - and why your greatest competitive advantage is your ability to think improbably. He also shares the Scenius concept, the 3-day art thinking workshop that transforms how teams work, the Zipper Test for communication, and why "everyone is an artist" is not just a philosophy - it's a practice.
One of the most mind-expanding conversations we've had on Founders Across Borders. Clear your head before you press play.
