That is the real lesson from 2025 @Joel Salinas thanks! AI works best when it serves people, not when people are redesigned around tools.
Talent magnet leaders can build top-performing teams and attractive workplaces when technology removes noise and leaders can focus on trust, judgment, and meaningful work.
When AI amplifies clarity instead of control, culture becomes a performance factor, not a slogan.
Thanks so much for this post Joel. And for living by your advice that we should be using AI to help give us more time with the humans in our lives. As a fellow Christian, would also be really cool to explore what JC's take would be on AI sometime the future. But in the meantime have a very special Christmas with your family. 🙏
A refreshing reminder that AI leadership is ultimately about reclaiming time and intention. The focus on human priorities over tools resonates strongly and feels deeply authentic.
I've learned so much from your posts in the short time I've been here - thank you! Really appreciate the way you bridge the gaps between AI, business and faith.
As a fellow Christian, I am so happy that God put you in my life this year. We met, collaborated, and worked together—and there's more to come! This is truly a blessing and a testament to the connectedness of our work.
Thank you for the beautiful reminder of Christianity during these days, Joel. It really hit home. ;)
You have such a wonderful family. God bless you all! I know next year will bring many great opportunities for you. 🚀

Sam that’s awesome to hear! Slowing down is one of the keys to high quality of life in this era. We need to chat sometime!
What a great year - happy holidays, to more of the things that really matter! :)
Thanks, Jonas! Same to you

Thank you Elena! Look forward to growing our friendship and partnership in 2026 :)
Using AI to buy back time instead of just ship more output is the exact shift more leaders need going into 2026.
Oh man 100%. Look forward to seeing what you do in 2026
Thanks for modeling leadership that measures success in people, not output.
I appreciate that! All a learning process, and being around those who’ve done it for decades like you, @Chris Tottman, and @Dennis Berry
What a year for you! Kudos and here’s to the next ✨
:) same to you!
Love to see it, thanks be to God! All of this is under His will. "What a time to be alive" is an understatement!
Gregory, thank you and yes! Have an awesome time with family this Christmas
