In this Audio episode of A Black Executive Perspective Podcast, Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed sit down with MIT engineer, entrepreneur, and former Bridgewater and Citadel executive Ted Yang to explore how Artificial Intelligence is transforming executive leadership, career longevity, and performance in corporate America.
For decades, professional growth followed a predictable arc. You rise. You plateau. You decline.
Ted challenges that model.
Drawing from his book Ageless Peak Performance, he explains how generative AI can accelerate young professionals, extend the prime years of seasoned executives, and potentially act as a strategic equalizer for Black leaders navigating systemic barriers in corporate environments.
This is a direct conversation about leadership relevance, diversity in corporate America, executive performance, and how to stay ahead before disruption forces you to catch up.
