Standing Still Isn’t Neutral: Continuous Self-Improvement in the Age of AI | Day 16
You’re either becoming more or falling behind — and in the age of AI, standing still is a risk we can’t afford.
As 2025 comes to a close, I’m joined by contributor Perry Rearick, a 28-year U.S. Army Special Forces veteran and longtime builder in publishing and leadership, to reflect on what this year revealed about business, strategy, leadership, and artificial intelligence.
This episode explores why continuous self-improvement is no longer a personal development idea, but a practical requirement in an AI-first, always-on world. The conversation moves from individual growth to collective progress, touching on how we adapt without losing our humanity.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why standing still is no longer neutral in work or life
- How continuous self-improvement applies to business, leadership, and careers
- How AI can amplify human growth rather than replace it
- What 2025 revealed about modernization and adaptation
- An introduction to NXT250 WORX, a new social club for the modern professional focused on connection, community, and collective advancement
This conversation is Day 16 of the Give the Gift of MORE campaign — a reflection on how we modernize the way we work, live, and lead as we head into 2026.
