Wise Up: Transformational Wisdom for Garden Retailers in the AI Era
Sid Raisch, Advantage Development
Imagine if we had known COVID was coming in advance. What if we had taken the threat seriously and anticipated, planned, and prepared for various outcomes? Would our industry have experienced and sustained a 10X PLUS Boom? Let’s not find ourselves 3, 5, or 10 years from now wishing we had planned a better response to AI - Just In Case!
In his signature style, Sid Raisch is going to give it to you straight on AI. We are living in a first-person Sci-Fi movie. Sid is a self-proclaimed naysayer that everyone will lose their jobs and receive government-guaranteed income for life. But things are already becoming different.
No, not everyone will lose their jobs, but AI isn’t thinking about us, and it doesn’t care if we will embrace it, resist, or give in. AI won’t slow down or give us time to adapt, or even to get out of the way. It doesn’t care if we fail miserably or succeed brilliantly. It knows these are all matters of our choice of how we will respond, and whether we’ll be on the winning or losing end of the equation.
The Challenge:
In small groups, we’ll be given chances to respond to various scenarios such as:
What if…10%, or 40% of our customers lose their jobs, income, and ability to earn a living by working at anything they know how to do?
What if we and our customers are forced to produce the majority of our own food at home?
What if our society is so traumatized by the shift in expectations that we seek survival, meaning, and psychological relief from within our natural world?
Working together, we’re better. We’ll identify the mindsets, tools, and people necessary to survive, or to thrive, and create our course of action - Just In Case!
