Featured HeartWired™ Lab
Human-AI Triangulation™
Use AI Without Outsourcing Judgment
Tuesday, July 21 • 12:00–1:30 PM CT • Live on Maven
AI can draft, summarize, research, and recommend. It can also sound remarkably confident while missing context, repeating weak evidence, or making assumptions it never names.
In this live 90-minute workshop, you will practice a repeatable process for comparing AI outputs, identifying assumptions, checking claims and sources, and returning to human judgment before acting.

Meet Dr. Danny G.
I'm Dr. Danny Glassmann — The Leadership Alchemist™. For more than 20 years I've worked at the place where leadership, belonging, and organizational change meet. My work helps leaders and institutions build systems where people can contribute without losing themselves in the process.
I've served as AVP and Dean of Students at Ohio State and San Francisco State, led through crisis, restructuring, and institutional change, and built a consulting practice rooted in the belief that sustainable leadership and genuine belonging are not competing priorities — they are the same work.
