Episode notes

Tim Lidman became the youngest partner at one of the world's largest consulting firms in under two years.

Tim argues that most leaders are getting AI adoption backwards, measuring usage instead of building trust, handing people tools instead of judgment. In this episode, Tim traces his career path from a rock star dream in London to founding Clyde, an AI native collaboration platform built to keep human decision making at the center of the machine.
