Being the "wrongest" in the room

About the episode

In this episode,  Katie sits down with Rhys Mohun, founder of Formentor Labs and creator of the Room to Think newsletter, to discuss why the traditional "expert" mindset is becoming a liability in the age of AI.

Rhys shares his philosophy of being the "wrongest in the room": a strategy that prioritizes psychological safety and evidence over ego. As AI begins to automate the administrative "boring stuff," Rhys argues that the true winners will be the leaders who lean into human-centric skills like facilitation and empathy.
