AI’s job isn’t to make you more productive. It’s to give you back your life. Most owners are using it for the wrong job. When I stepped down as CEO of Thomas Nelson in 2011, I was running on fumes. I had spent the previous three years leading the company through the Great Recession, and the work had been brutal. I was tired. Tired of endless meetings. Tired of the administrative load. Tired, frankly, of my board. I needed rest. What I wanted, in a single word, was freedom. For six months, I had it.
