In today’s episode of Wisdom Journey, I sat down with Manuj Aggarwal, a global AI thought leader whose journey from earning $2 a day to advising Fortune 500s seriously blew my mind. We talked about the real power of AI—far beyond just writing snappy emails—and why it’s creating the biggest wealth transfer in history. Manuj shared how entrepreneurs don’t have to be tech wizards to harness AI for scaling, personalization, and exponential growth. We explored how mindset and self-awareness are at the core of building an impactful business, and why understanding your “why” matters more than ever. I hope you walk away from this one feeling inspired to clarify your goals, focus on solving real problems, and tap into AI’s potential—without getting lost in the hype. Remember: the future is here, and it’s yours to shape!
