Join Andrew Davis, a former Buddhist monk turned software executive.
Like computers, living things input, output, store, process, and network information—but much of our natural intelligence is non-verbal and non-conceptual. You'll leave with concrete techniques to reset your intelligence and multiply your capacity by building trust with others at a non-verbal level. Because the best AI builders won't just create intelligent systems—they'll know how to stay grounded, connected, and fully human while doing it.
