AI Will Replace Joyless Work
How the Best Teams Put AI on Draining Work, Freeing People for Judgment, Taste, Experience, Creativity, and Connection
AI is already changing the work. Kevin shows audiences how to identify the repetitive, draining work AI should take on, use the tools practically, and reclaim more time for the things humans do best: judgment, creativity, experience, and connection.
- Understand what AI is really changing
- Identify the "joyless work" AI can remove or accelerate
- Apply practical AI workflows to their own work
- Reclaim time for higher-value human contribution
- Build a simple 30-day plan for putting the ideas into action
WHAT’S REAL, WHAT’S NEXT, AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
Kevin gives audiences a current, practical view of generative AI, agents, automation, and the future of work — separating real opportunity from hype.
- Where AI is today and where it's heading
- How it is changing work and productivity
- Where people create the most value alongside these tools
- What organizations can begin doing now
HOW TO BUILD WHAT COMES NEXT
Innovation rarely dies because people run out of ideas. More often, certainty becomes more comfortable than curiosity.
Drawing from decades of building companies and bringing new technologies to market, Kevin shows audiences how to challenge assumptions, experiment faster, and create room for ideas before they look obvious.
- A more curious approach to problem-solving
- Practical ways to challenge old assumptions
- A healthier relationship with experimentation
- Tools for turning uncertainty into possibility
THE SCIENCE-BACKED PATH TO FULFILLMENT AND PEAK PERFORMANCE
We tend to treat joy as something that comes after success. Kevin believes we have the order backwards.
Joy is not the reward for success. It is the foundation from which success grows.
Kevin gives audiences a practical framework for building the energy, curiosity, purpose, and resilience required to perform at their best.
- A new understanding of joy and performance
- Practical ways to build purpose and curiosity into everyday work
- Tools for maintaining energy and momentum
- Simple practices they can begin using immediately
Kevin has spent decades inventing technologies, building companies, and leading through the kind of disruption audiences are trying to understand now.
AI can become technical quickly. Kevin makes it understandable without watering it down, so everyone in the room can see why it matters to them.
Different industry. Different challenges. Different room. Kevin tailors the stories, examples, and takeaways to the people he is actually speaking to.
Kevin gives audiences more than ideas to think about. They leave with practical ways to apply what they learned to their work, teams, and decisions.
Kevin is an inventor and entrepreneur, but he is also a lifelong performer. Expect storytelling, humor, energy, timing, and a speaker who knows how to adapt in real time.
