Why Relationships Matter More Than Ever in the Age of AI with Judy Robinett

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work, communicate and do business. Information is becoming instantly accessible, content can be created in seconds, and technology is opening up opportunities that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago. Yet in a world increasingly shaped by AI, relationships may be more important than ever.
In this episode of the Business Elevation Show, Chris Cooper is joined by internationally renowned entrepreneur, investor and bestselling author Judy Robinett, one of the world's leading experts on strategic networking and relationship capital. Best known for her books How to Be a Power Connector and Cracking the Funding Code, Judy has spent decades helping entrepreneurs, leaders and changemakers build the relationships that ac-celerate success, create opportunity and generate meaningful impact.
Drawing on insights from the World Economic Forum in Davos, her work as Managing Director of WhipSmart Ventures, and a lifetime of connecting exceptional people, Judy shares why human connection, trust, curiosity and collaboration remain essential ingredients for success in an increasingly technological world.
Together, Chris and Judy explore how leaders can build authentic relationships, create opportunities through connection, harness the potential of AI without losing the human touch, and position themselves for success in a rapidly changing future.
This promises to be a timely, practical and inspiring conversation about leadership, innovation, opportunity and why the right relationships still have the power to change everything.
