HOW TO ENTER: LINKEDIN DM AAKASH SURI THE WORDS “HUMAN IN THE LOOP” AND A SCREENSHOT OF YOU FOLLOWING THE PODCAST ON APPLE PODCASTS! THAT IS IT, WINNERS WILL BE DRAWN AT RANDOM & PERSONALLY CONTACTED BY AAKASH, GOODLUCK! In this episode of the Let's Talk Privacy podcast, Aakash Suri is joined by Ratna Morjaria, founder of Dharma Awakenings, to discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence, human purpose, and leadership. Together, they explore what it means to keep human intuition at the forefront, the importance of conscious leadership, and the courage it takes to pursue personal transformation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Redefining "Human in the Loop": True human oversight must represent more than just monitoring machine decisions. It requires maintaining human intuition, judgment, and a deep connection to our values rather than becoming complacent and overly reliant on automated systems. Conscious Leadership in an AI Age: Organisations often prioritise speed and shareholder interests over human-centric values. Conscious leadership involves building resilient cultures by fostering human connection and empowering individuals to practice self-leadership, which allows them to question and understand the "why" behind their actions. Trusting Human Judgment: There is a danger of losing internal wisdom by over-relying on machine-generated outputs. It is essential to slow down and listen to one's intuition, described as the "soft technology" of the human body, which is crucial for navigating uncertainty and maintaining authenticity. Addressing AI Existential Risk: When discussing recent warnings about AI-driven human extinction, it is important to avoid falling into either extreme panic or blind complacency. The true "extinction" risk lies in humans abandoning their humanity to live in an automated, task-oriented way, and we must instead use this moment to reclaim our purpose. The Hero's Journey and Personal Transformation: Leaving established corporate careers to pursue purpose-driven work requires immense courage. Taking the risk to follow your intuition, while challenging, is essential for living authentically and serving others effectively. BEST MOMENTS "The true 'extinction' risk lies in humans abandoning their humanity to live in an automated, task-oriented way." “Intuition is the 'soft technology' of the human body, essential for navigating uncertainty and maintaining authenticity." “Human in the loop' should represent more than just human oversight of machine decisions; it requires maintaining human intuition, judgment, and connection to values.

   From Career Pivot to Global Audience: The Real Story of Our Last 9 Months with Ashna Suri

   In a deeply personal episode, Aakash Suri invites his wife, Ashna Suri, back to the podcast to discuss the reality of building a business and a global podcast over the last 10 months. They go behind the scenes to explore the sacrifices, teamwork, mindset shifts, and family dynamics that power an entrepreneurial journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Power of Partnership: Building a successful brand requires immense behind-the-scenes support, with Ashna managing administrative tasks and operations to allow Aakash the creative space to focus on content. Building a Family Legacy: The consultancy's name, AS Privacy and AI Solutions Limited, is deeply personal, representing the initials of Aakash, Ashna, and their 9-year-old son, making it a legacy business designed for the future. Role Modelling for the Next Generation: The entrepreneurial journey actively inspires their son, who practices hosting on the microphone and sees both parents dedicating time to learning, growth, and pushing past their comfort zones. The Origin of a Beloved Segment: The podcast’s highly popular closing tradition, "Take the Risk or Lose the Chance," was actually brainstormed and suggested by Ashna during a late-night planning session. "If you're not nervous about something, that means you don't want it badly enough." BEST MOMENTS "The relationships that are meant to be forged don't need to be forced... it just happens naturally." "If you really want something, the doorway to something is embarrassment. You're going to have to fall down a few times, embarrass yourself."

   Is LinkedIn Rewarding Expertise or Just Attention? Personal Branding, AI and Privacy with Shoaib Ahmed

   In this episode, Aakash Suri speaks with Shoaib Ahmed, a multi-award-winning LinkedIn strategist and founder of SA Personal Branding. Stepping outside traditional privacy topics, they discuss how privacy professionals can overcome the fear of posting, combat "AI slop," and build genuine influence and credibility online. Visibility is Credibility: Doing great work behind closed doors is no longer enough; privacy professionals risk being left behind if they do not share their unique expertise and personal stories online. Combating AI Slop with Authenticity: The barrier to entry for content creation has been lowered by AI, flooding feeds with generic content, which creates a massive opportunity for authentic practitioners to stand out by sharing real-world stories. The Attention Economy Over Follower Counts: Follower counts matter far less than starting meaningful conversations and understanding marketing psychology, as a smaller but engaged audience can convert more leads. Using AI as an Editor, Not an Inventor: While AI is excellent for editing and operations, it should not be used to invent content from scratch. Professionals should use their own raw ideas and use AI merely to refine their authentic voice. "If you want to achieve something out of the ordinary, you have to do something out of the ordinary." "Value does not equal education. Value can also come in the form of inspiring somebody, entertaining somebody, empowering somebody." "I start with an idea or concept or story... I don't start with AI. I end with AI."
