Episode Summary

Anne-Laure shares her personal story of walking away from a fast-track career at Google following a health scare that shifted her priorities. Through her experience in neuroscience and her work at Ness Labs, she developed the concept of “tiny experiments”—low-stakes, curiosity-driven practices that help individuals and businesses adapt, learn, and grow without fear of failure.

This episode dives into the difference between goals and experiments, how to apply scientific thinking to daily challenges, and why AI can be a powerful thinking partner in this journey.

  • Applying experimentation in business encourages innovation and reduces fear of failure.
  • AI can serve as a 24/7 thought partner to challenge assumptions and prompt creativity.
  • Curiosity-driven intelligence can help us better understand internal and external challenges.
