“A human without purpose is a scary person.”

On the 3rd of June, I had the pleasure of chatting with Scott Todaro.

Scott is a senior executive and entrepreneur with 32 years of experience leading marketing for both B2B and consumer companies, contributing to five successful exits, including four acquisitions and one IPO. He also teaches at UMass and Babson College and is the co-author of The Next CMO, which has over 40,000 copies in circulation.

In the first part of our chat, Scott Todaro shared insights on marketing, entrepreneurship, and AI, reflecting on career lessons, the evolving industry, and the importance of vision and people. He also discussed AI’s impact on jobs and offered advice for those starting their careers.

In the second part, Scott and I discussed how AI is reshaping human decision-making, disrupting the workforce, and raising questions about purpose in an automated future. We explored the ethical and energy challenges of AI, as well as the evolving role of marketing and the importance of understanding user needs in product design.
