Why Penguins Don't Build Nests in Trees and Why That Matters for AI —
A different kind of talk
I recently had the opportunity to speak at my kid’s class about AI.
It was not a conference talk.
There were no slides about model architectures or leadership frameworks.
There were 12 year olds, lots of opinions, and very little patience for fluff.
Which, in hindsight, was perfect.

Slides crammed with KPIs and roadmap bullet points might kill on Zoom. On stage? They kill attention.
