Aware with Seb

Recibimos a Connie Ansaldi, comunicadora, emprendedora y fundadora de CUX AI, la startup que integra tecnología e inteligencia emocional para acompañar el bienestar humano en la era digital. En esta conversación íntima y provocadora, exploramos los límites (y las posibilidades) entre lo humano y lo artificial, la búsqueda de propósito en un mundo hiperconectado y el valor de la autenticidad como punto de partida. Connie comparte cómo redefinió el éxito, qué significa liderar desde la vulnerabilidad y por qué una comunidad real no se construye con números, sino con la verdad.
