- 4:48thing,
- 4:48like
- 4:48Skynet
- 4:49from
- 4:49Terminate,
- 4:50when
- 4:51in
- 4:51fact
- 4:51we're
- 4:51probably
- 4:51rushing
- 4:52fast
- 4:52into
- 4:53a
- 4:53very
- 4:53complex
- 4:54landscape
- 4:54of
- 4:54multiple
- 4:55different
- 4:55AI
- 4:55personalities.
- 4:57And
- 4:58that's
- 4:58probably
- 4:58like
- 4:58the
- 4:59packaging
- 4:59part,
- 4:59but
- 4:59it's.
- 5:00The
- 5:00human
- 5:00AI
- 5:01relationship
- 5:01will
- 5:01be
- 5:02characterized
- 5:03differently
- 5:03depending
- 5:04on
- 5:04which
- 5:04AI
- 5:04system
- 5:04it
- 5:05is.
- 5:05But
- 5:05then
- 5:06the
- 5:06deeper
- 5:06knowledge
- 5:07bases,
- 5:07the
- 5:07epistemologies
- 5:08and
- 5:08the
- 5:08ontologies,
- 5:11depending
- 5:12on
- 5:12what
- 5:13even
- 5:13philosophical
- 5:14assumptions
- 5:15one
- 5:15starts
- 5:16from
- 5:17the
- 5:17AI
- 5:17would
- 5:18think
- 5:18and
- 5:19communicate
- 5:19differently.
- 5:20So
- 5:21at
- 5:21its
- 5:21minimum
- 5:21I
- 5:21would
- 5:22say
- 5:22Western
- 5:23philosophy
- 5:24is
- 5:24largely
- 5:24object
- 5:25oriented
- 5:25Aristotelian.
- 5:26And
- 5:27so
- 5:27it's
- 5:27going
- 5:28to
- 5:28be
- 5:28a
- 5:28little
- 5:28bit
- 5:28more
- 5:28ready
- 5:29to
- 5:29do,
- 5:30you
- 5:30know,
- 5:30hardcore
- 5:30analytical
- 5:31quant
- 5:31work.
- 5:32And
- 5:33I'm,
- 5:33I'm
- 5:34reaching
- 5:34more
- 5:34philosophically.
- 5:35I
- 5:35can't
- 5:35say
- 5:35this
- 5:36is
- 5:36concrete,
- 5:36but
- 5:36east,
- 5:37but
- 5:37Eastern
- 5:37philosophical
- 5:38traditions
- 5:38tend
- 5:38to
- 5:39be
- 5:39more
- 5:39context
- 5:39oriented.
- 5:40Right.
- 5:41So
- 5:41I'm
- 5:41interested
- 5:41in
- 5:42paying
- 5:42attention
- 5:42to
- 5:42the
- 5:43development
- 5:43of

- 5:43AI
- 5:44to

- 5:48human
- 5:48AI
- 5:49relationships
- 5:49to
- 5:50solve
- 5:50for
- 5:50problems
- 5:50in
- 5:50different
- 5:51ways.
- 5:51So
- 5:52what
- 5:52does
- 5:52that
- 5:52mean
- 5:52for
- 5:52decision
- 5:53makers
- 5:53in
- 5:54the

- 5:59based
- 6:00on
- 6:00the
- 6:00problem
- 6:00you're
- 6:00confronting.
- 6:01Some
- 6:01problems

- 9:44And
- 9:45so
- 9:45the

- 9:45like
- 9:45pricing,
- 9:46while
- 9:46you
- 9:47can
- 9:47be
- 9:47very
- 9:48analytical
- 9:48and
- 9:48quantitative
- 9:49about

- 9:49there's

- 9:52And
- 9:52particularly
- 9:53in
- 9:53luxury
- 9:53retail,
- 9:53they.
- 9:53That's
- 9:54very
- 9:54important
- 9:54because
- 9:55ultimately,
- 9:55how
- 9:56do
- 9:56you

- 10:06So
- 10:07the

- 10:07is
- 10:07that

- 10:07isn't
- 10:08necessarily

- 10:11Right.
- 10:12It's

- 10:49they

- 11:36So
- 11:36you'd

- 11:37as
- 11:37an
- 11:37attachment
- 11:37or
- 11:38an

- 11:40but
- 11:41they

- 11:42What

- 11:48them
- 11:48350.
- 11:51It's
- 11:52not
- 11:53ridiculously
- 11:53excessive
- 11:54because
- 11:54while
- 11:54it's
- 11:55not

- 12:01to
- 12:01$300,
- 12:02they're
- 12:03booked
- 12:03solid.
- 12:05Exactly
- 12:06the
- 12:06perception
- 12:06thing
- 12:06that
- 12:07you
- 12:07were
- 12:07talking
- 12:08about.
- 12:08And
- 12:08that's
- 12:08why
- 12:09we
- 12:10need
- 12:10to
- 12:10be
- 12:10careful
- 12:10sometimes
- 12:11when
- 12:11we
- 12:11treat
- 12:12data
- 12:12as
- 12:13truth.
- 12:14Because
- 12:14there
- 12:14are
- 12:15often,
- 12:15as
- 12:15we've
- 12:16both
- 12:16been
- 12:16talking
- 12:16about,
- 12:16so
- 12:17many
- 12:19nuances,
- 12:19so
- 12:19many
- 12:20factors
- 12:20which
- 12:20go
- 12:21into
- 12:21any
- 12:21given
- 12:22number
- 12:22or
- 12:22fact
- 12:23or
- 12:23thing
- 12:23which

- 12:27true,
- 12:29especially
- 12:29where
- 12:30a
- 12:30number's
- 12:30concerned.
- 12:31But
- 12:32sometimes
- 12:33meaning
- 12:34might
- 12:34decay
- 12:34when
- 12:35you
- 12:35separate
- 12:35that
- 12:35data
- 12:36from
- 12:36context.
- 12:37Right.
- 12:38No,
- 12:38completely
- 12:39agree.
- 12:39It's
- 12:39interesting.
- 12:40Yeah.
- 12:40The
- 12:40way
- 12:41I
- 12:41often
- 12:41think
- 12:41about

- 12:44obviously
- 12:45data,
- 12:45data,
- 12:45concrete
- 12:46data
- 12:46is
- 12:46useful,
- 12:47but
- 12:49are
- 12:49often,
- 12:50if
- 12:50we're
- 12:51thinking
- 12:51about

- 12:55as
- 12:55a
- 12:55lagging

- 12:56Right.
- 12:57So
- 12:57it's
- 12:57something
- 12:57that
- 12:58I
- 12:58think
- 12:58usually
- 12:58comes

- 12:59the
- 12:59back
- 12:59end
- 12:59like

- 13:01the
- 13:01data
- 13:01and
- 13:01then
- 13:01you're

- 13:03core
- 13:03it's,
- 13:03it's
- 13:04reactive

- 13:07you
- 13:07can
- 13:07project,
- 13:08of
- 13:08course.
- 13:09But
- 13:09what
- 13:10I
- 13:10like
- 13:10to
- 13:10suggest
- 13:11or
- 13:11argue
- 13:11is,
- 13:12is
- 13:12like
- 13:13how
- 13:13might
- 13:13we
- 13:13be

- 13:21leading
- 13:21indicators
- 13:22that
- 13:22would
- 13:22drive
- 13:23valuation
- 13:24rather
- 13:24than
- 13:24just
- 13:25using
- 13:25data
- 13:26that
- 13:26records
- 13:26aftermath.
- 13:27And
- 13:27then
- 13:27you
- 13:28use
- 13:28that
- 13:28to
- 13:28think

- 13:45you
- 13:45know,
- 13:45back
- 13:45in
- 13:45the
- 13:45day
- 13:45when
- 13:46the
- 13:46primary
- 13:47earners
- 13:47in
- 13:48households
- 13:48would
- 13:49have
- 13:49disproportionately

- 13:50men,
- 13:51what

- 13:53in,
- 13:53in
- 13:54marketing
- 13:54land
- 13:55is
- 13:55people
- 13:55would
- 13:55pay

- 13:56to
- 13:57the
- 13:57sale
- 13:57of
- 13:58new
- 13:58men's
- 13:59underwear,
- 13:59new
- 14:00men's
- 14:00underwear
- 14:00and
- 14:01socks.
- 14:01And
- 14:02what
- 14:02it
- 14:02was
- 14:02is.
- 14:03And
- 14:03again,
- 14:03these
- 14:03are,
- 14:04there's
- 14:04cultural
- 14:04assumptions
- 14:04in
- 14:05this.
- 14:05So
- 14:05it's.
- 14:05The
- 14:05landscape
- 14:06is
- 14:06increasingly
- 14:06complicated
- 14:07as
- 14:07culture
- 14:07is
- 14:07changing
- 14:08today.
- 14:08But
- 14:09that
- 14:09point,
- 14:09the
- 14:09idea
- 14:10was
- 14:10if
- 14:10you
- 14:10are
- 14:11the
- 14:11primary
- 14:11bedwinner
- 14:12in
- 14:12a
- 14:12household
- 14:13and
- 14:14things
- 14:14started
- 14:14to
- 14:14get
- 14:15tight
- 14:15for
- 14:15whatever
- 14:16reason,
- 14:16whatever
- 14:17reason,
- 14:17there
- 14:17was
- 14:17less
- 14:18capital
- 14:18to
- 14:18purchase
- 14:19things.
- 14:20It
- 14:20was
- 14:20highly
- 14:20likely
- 14:21that
- 14:21the
- 14:21man
- 14:22going
- 14:22to
- 14:22work
- 14:22would
- 14:22be
- 14:23like,
- 14:23I
- 14:23don't
- 14:23really
- 14:23need
- 14:24new
- 14:24underwear.
- 14:25So
- 14:25the
- 14:26first
- 14:26household
- 14:26purchases
- 14:27that
- 14:27would
- 14:27drop

- 14:28the
- 14:29sales
- 14:29of

- 14:30underwear.
- 14:31And
- 14:31so
- 14:31if
- 14:31you
- 14:31paid
- 14:31attention
- 14:32to
- 14:32the
- 14:32underwear
- 14:33index,
- 14:33you
- 14:33would
- 14:33actually
- 14:34have
- 14:34an
- 14:35understanding
- 14:35of
- 14:36that.
- 14:36Households
- 14:36across
- 14:36America
- 14:37are
- 14:37starting
- 14:38to
- 14:38feel
- 14:38like
- 14:38they
- 14:38have
- 14:38less
- 14:39cash
- 14:39that
- 14:40they
- 14:40can
- 14:40spend.
- 14:41And
- 14:41now
- 14:41you
- 14:42actually
- 14:42have
- 14:42a
- 14:42strategic
- 14:42advantage.
- 14:43You
- 14:43could
- 14:43either
- 14:44position

- 14:45you

- 14:45downside
- 14:46or
- 14:46you
- 14:47can
- 14:47address
- 14:47something.
- 14:48Maybe
- 14:48you
- 14:48have
- 14:48to
- 14:48adjust
- 14:48your
- 14:49price
- 14:49point
- 14:49and
- 14:49be
- 14:49able
- 14:49to
- 14:50like,
- 14:50get
- 14:50your

- 14:52you
- 14:52know,
- 14:52depreciating
- 14:54household
- 14:54budget.
- 14:55But
- 14:55that
- 14:56idea,
- 14:56it
- 14:56was
- 14:56really
- 14:56predicated
- 14:57on
- 14:57just

- 19:44So
- 19:44how
- 19:45do
- 19:45you
- 19:45teach
- 19:46leaders
- 19:46to
- 19:46look

- 19:48People
- 19:48are
- 19:48very
- 19:49well
- 19:49trained
- 19:50to
- 19:50look
- 19:50at
- 19:50their
- 19:50dashboards
- 19:51and
- 19:51their
- 19:51KPIs,
- 19:52which
- 19:53in
- 19:53my
- 19:53experience,
- 19:53by
- 19:54the
- 19:54way,
- 19:54sometimes
- 19:55are
- 19:55designed

- 19:56comfort
- 19:57to
- 19:57leaders
- 19:57and
- 19:58not

- 19:58honesty
- 19:59and
- 19:59good
- 19:59news
- 19:59to
- 19:59leaders.
- 19:59So
- 20:00there's
- 20:01a
- 20:01whole
- 20:01other
- 20:01angle
- 20:02there
- 20:02as
- 20:02well,
- 20:02is
- 20:02that
- 20:03sometimes
- 20:04even
- 20:04the
- 20:04dashboards
- 20:05that
- 20:05they
- 20:05do
- 20:05have
- 20:06are
- 20:07purposely
- 20:07designed,
- 20:08usually
- 20:09through
- 20:09the
- 20:09leader's
- 20:09influence,
- 20:10to
- 20:11bring
- 20:11them
- 20:11comfort
- 20:12rather
- 20:12than
- 20:12to
- 20:12bring
- 20:12them
- 20:12discomfort.
- 20:13But
- 20:14beyond
- 20:14that,
- 20:15how
- 20:15do
- 20:15you
- 20:15teach
- 20:15leaders
- 20:16to
- 20:16think
- 20:17differently
- 20:17and
- 20:18to
- 20:18seek

- 20:21are
- 20:21leading
- 20:22indicators?
- 20:23Great
- 20:24question.
- 20:24So
- 20:25there's
- 20:26two
- 20:26parts

- 20:26it.
- 20:26One

- 22:39And
- 22:40now
- 22:40to
- 22:41be
- 22:41fair,
- 22:41I
- 22:41think
- 22:42if

- 22:43brand
- 22:43team
- 22:43or
- 22:43a
- 22:43marketing,
