The Wisdom Economy: Leadership and the Human Skills AI Can’t Replace | Mark Vincent (16)

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 37:26

What happens when a leader becomes the limit of the team?

In this episode of Technically Human, Dr. Tracy Shroyer talks with organizational development consultant Mark Vincent about succession planning, the three turns of leadership, and what it means to lead toward future value.

Mark explains why “I’ll just do it myself” may be one of the most expensive sentences a leader says, and why developing someone who can step into your work creates capacity for the organization and room for your own growth.

Tracy and Mark also explore what comes after the knowledge economy. As AI makes information easier to access, the distinctly human capabilities of judgment, creativity, deep listening, emotional intelligence, relationships, and non-anxious leadership may become more valuable than ever.

A thoughtful conversation for leaders, business owners, HR and talent professionals, and anyone considering what their next chapter of leadership requires.

How (and Why) I Built My Own AI Advisory Board (15)

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 43:04

What if AI could help you pressure-test your decisions through multiple perspectives, without replacing your judgment?

In this episode of Technically Human, Dr. Tracy Shroyer explains how she built a personal AI advisory board in ChatGPT. She shares how she chose each seat, the questions she used to open the first meeting, what happened when the board challenged her assumptions, and the boundaries that keep AI in an advisory role.

You’ll learn:

• How to choose advisors based on perspective rather than celebrity

• How to prompt the board to debate instead of simply agree

• Why Future You may deserve a seat

• How career agency differs from career confidence

• Which decisions should remain outside the board’s scope

• Why simulated advisors do not replace real experts or coaches

The goal is not to automate your thinking. It is to elevate it, and keep the human responsible for the decision.

6. Assumptions vs. Buyer Truth with Kristin Zhivago

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 • Duration 45:45

In this episode of Technically Human, I sit down with Kristin Zhivago to explore the gap between what businesses think customers want and what buyers are actually looking for. We unpack assumptions vs. buyer truth, why so many organizations unintentionally create friction in the buying process, and how companies can better understand customer desires, concerns, and questions before a purchase ever happens.

Kristin shares insights from interviewing thousands of customers across industries, explains the hidden “sales stoppers” that quietly hurt revenue, and discusses why trust, listening, and genuine human understanding still matter deeply — even in an AI-driven world.

We also explore:

Why most companies misunderstand their customers
The difference between assumptions and real buyer insight
Desires, concerns, and questions in the buying process
Common sales stoppers hurting businesses behind the scenes
Why Amazon succeeds at reducing buyer friction
AI, automation, and the future of customer communication
The importance of trust and human connection in business
What it means to stay “technically human” in today’s world

5. The Confidence Factor

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 11:39

There’s a difference between being responsible… and actually advocating for yourself.

In this episode of Technically Human, I explore why so many capable people struggle to speak up, ask for what they need, acknowledge their accomplishments, or put themselves forward for opportunities, even when they’ve earned them.

We talk about:

the connection between confidence and self-advocacy
imposter syndrome and self-doubt
why many people minimize themselves without realizing it
how language shapes confidence
the idea of self-efficacy and trusting yourself to handle difficult situations
why confidence usually comes after action, not before it

This conversation is for anyone who has ever questioned whether they were “too much,” waited for permission, or struggled to recognize their own value.

You can be humble and still speak clearly.

You can be kind and still advocate for yourself.

And you can feel nervous and still take action.

4. What If the Problem Isn’t You… It’s the System?

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 31:33

What if the problem isn’t you… but the system you’re working in?

In this episode of Technically Human, I sit down with Simon Copsey to explore how the way organizations are structured, and the beliefs leaders hold, shape everything from productivity and burnout to team performance and decision-making.

We unpack the difference between “firefighting” and actually solving problems at their root, and why so many teams stay stuck reacting instead of preventing issues in the first place. Simon shares how systems thinking and cause-and-effect thinking can help leaders and teams move beyond surface-level fixes and start addressing what’s really driving challenges inside organizations.

We also talk about:

Why common leadership beliefs (like keeping everyone busy or adding more people to speed things up) can actually make things worse
The gap between leadership decisions and team realities, and how misalignment happens
Why most organizational problems aren’t about “bad employees,” but about the conditions people are working in
How shifting beliefs, not just behaviors, is key to meaningful, lasting change

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in constant reaction mode, or frustrated by decisions that don’t seem to make sense, this conversation will help you step back, see the bigger picture, and think differently about the systems around you.

3. Authenticity in the Age of AI: Finding Your Voice and Trusting the Process

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 • Duration 16:17

AI is inevitable in the workplace, but how do we use it without losing our authentic voice? In this solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey with AI, career coaching, and hosting this podcast. We talk about why speaking your prompts into tools like ChatGPT or Manus can yield much richer results than typing, and why it is absolutely critical that you remain the final editor of your work. I share a few personal stories, including a funny moment when a simple "fat fingers" spelling error made a career coaching client think I used AI to write her resume, and why I pivoted from AI-generated images to creating my own visuals in Canva to ensure they actually looked like my brand.

We also get real about the behind-the-scenes of podcasting. I open up about the intense anxiety I feel right before hitting record with a guest, how I use AI to bridge the gap between my expertise and theirs, and the sheer excitement I feel once the conversation gets flowing. Finally, we tackle the myth of the "perfect" episode length and why a rich, 9-minute episode is infinitely better than a drawn-out 25-minute one. In this episode, we cover:

Why you should experiment and "play" with AI tools like ChatGPT, Manus, and Gamma app.
The power of voice prompting vs. text prompting.
The importance of auditing AI output and keeping your authentic "stamp" on your work.
Real-world stories: The resume typo and the LinkedIn visual pivot.
Overcoming imposter syndrome and pre-recording anxiety as a podcast host.
Why curiosity and "free flow" conversations beat rigid interviews every time.
A reminder that content quality and richness matter far more than episode length.

If you have topics related to AI, tech, or career development that you'd love to hear covered in future solo episodes, please send me a direct message on LinkedIn or drop me an email. I would love to hear from you!

2. More Than Intelligence: The Human Side of AI

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 • Duration 42:19

AI isn’t new, but what’s coming next might change everything.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Craig Kaplan, an AI expert with decades of experience building intelligent systems, to unpack what most people get wrong about artificial intelligence, and what actually matters moving forward.

We talk about:

The real history of AI (and why it’s not as “new” as it seems)
What AI means for jobs, careers, and business strategy
Why companies can’t afford to ignore it
The risks no one is talking about and how we can navigate them
And what it truly means to stay human as technology becomes more intelligent

If you’ve been feeling uncertain, curious, or even overwhelmed by AI, this conversation will ground you and give you a clearer way to think about what’s ahead.

The Human Skill AI Can't Replace (14)

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 • Duration 01:02:07

This conversation focuses on the human.

We explore ChatGPT, Claude, productivity, learning differently, and why the people who thrive in the future won't simply know how to use AI, they'll know what great work actually looks like.
