Update

Your willingness to evolve, learn, and install new ways of thinking — even when the current version feels comfortable.

Mark Finnell and the AI Avatar of a Dead Boy

High fit

Update is about being willing to swap out an old way of thinking for a newer, more accurate one — even when the old version felt fine. Mark Finnell had a working model for covering technology that had served him well for two decades. The Joaquin conversation forced an update: he couldn't keep covering AI as a purely technical beat. He updated his lens from 'what can it do?' to 'what is it doing to us?' and built an entire podcast series around that new operating version.
