Love Conquers Fear: An AI Dinner with Brett Hurt
As the Principled Business Summit kicks off in Austin, join Brett Hurt for an intimate community dinner about AI, the future of business, and what it will take to build a world where technology helps more people thrive.
Hosted by Brett Hurt, serial tech entrepreneur, investor, and author of the USA TODAY bestseller Love Conquers Fear: Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for All. Wednesday, October 28, opening night of the Principled Business Summit.
AI is moving fast, and it's easy to get caught up in the fear: Will it replace our jobs? Will our businesses keep up? What happens when technology changes everything we know? In his new book, Brett offers a different perspective. What if AI isn't just a challenge to manage, but an opportunity to create more abundance for everyone?
This dinner is a chance to explore that idea with Brett and a small group of founders, investors, and business leaders who are navigating these questions firsthand. No panels or presentations, just an honest conversation about what AI means for your business and the future we're building together.
Meet your host
Brett co-founded data.world, Bazaarvoice, and Coremetrics, and with his wife Debra has backed more than 150 startups and 50 venture funds through Hurt Family Investments. He's an Aspen Institute Henry Crown Fellow and host of the Love Conquers Fear podcast.
His book explores how AI, quantum computing, robotics, and brain-computer interfaces could usher in an age of abundance, if we choose to approach these technologies with optimism, purpose, and a commitment to human flourishing. John Mackey called it "a very important book that everyone should read."
What we'll talk about around the table
Fear and AI: Where is fear shaping the decisions you're making about your business, your team, and your future?
From scarcity to abundance: What becomes possible when we stop treating progress as a zero-sum game?
Building businesses that help people thrive: How can companies use AI to create value for owners, workers, and customers alike?
What comes next: How can we turn these ideas into decisions that shape the way we lead, invest, and build?
