This would have to be one of the most fascinating conversations to date in the Mastering Risk Management podcast!Alan usually gives interviews to the likes of CNN, the BBC and Al Jazeera so to get him on the podcast is a real win for our listeners. And the conversation is well worth the listen.Alan takes us on a journey of what Artificial Intelligence is, how it's being deployed and why we all need to get involved.  AI is a defining moment in our history and to not be a part of it risks being left behind. I ask Alan a question in the chat which I think would be on many people's minds - how do I get started with AI? His response was so simple and to the point - he said 'who trained you on Facebook or LinkedIn? Just get in and have a go!'I'd strongly encourage you to invest in your future and take the time to listen to this episode - I am sure you will not regret it!Your thoughts and feedback are always welcome.

So now that your career is going to be totally obsolete soon, what are your plans? You do realize that Artificial Intelligence is completely disrupting life as we know it, right? And that it's impossible to predict the magnitude of that disruptiveness? How do you plan to survive? Oh, wait, that may be an irrelevant question as well. In fact, I'm hoping that I'll be out of a job. I'm hoping that AI will make this whole "Mental Toughness" business a thing of the past. AI will make life such that Mental Toughness isn't even needed because our needs are all met and we are free to experience all the magic that life has to offer. At least that's one way to envision what's right around the corner (or already here) with Artificial Intelligence. And our guest today, Dr. Alan D. Thompson, AI Expert, has some truly mind-blowing information to share with us about the impending effects of AI, and how he sees it illogical to assume that AI could bring disaster. But who knows? What we can count on is that life is about to change. In ways that we aren't even capable of imagining yet.

In this episode we're talking to Dr Alan D. Thompson about intuition and giftedness. We ask what is intuition? We talk about intuition in science, the research behind intuition, imaginary friends, intuition in very high IQ children, how to foster intuition and imagination in our kids, why it's so important and more… Hit play and let's get started! Memorable Quote “Well, if we look at intuition as this innate process - everyone's got it. It gives people the ability to know things without analytic reasoning. Let's call it the opposite of science - it's knowing without knowing how we know. I think it scares people. It maps to somewhere that we're not comfortable going.” – Dr Alan D. Thompson “I think one of the triggers for me writing this was noticing how many of my high ability clients from seven, eight years old had imaginary friends. And I thought that was fascinating… We've got the research that 34% of high ability or gifted girls have imaginary friends a little bit less for high ability or gifted boys.” – Dr Alan D. Thompson “That can be as simple as lying in bed and talking about dreams in the morning. So, what dream did you have? What dream did the child have? Not with any sense of needing to interpret it, but what is flowing through the subconscious at night?” – Dr Alan D. Thompson Resources Connected – Intuition & Resonance in Smart People by Dr Alan D.

He reveals what all the families of successful gifted humans have in common and why you should allow an academically gifted child to explore their hobbies if you wish to raise a healthy and well-rounded individual. He shares the key ingredient Elon Musk's school, Ad Astra, looks for when enrolling new students. Alan also discusses why we should not be afraid of our children embracing technology we ourselves don’t understand and why listening is the first step to supporting any child on the path to success.       “Take that healthy child and allow them to understand more of themselves.” Alan D.
