My guest this week is Dominik Heinrich, a visionary working at the intersection of design, AI technology, and human experience. As the co-founder of the Creative AI Academy, faculty member at Pratt Institute, and Head of Global Design at Coca-Cola Company, Dom brings a unique perspective on how AI is reshaping creativity and innovation.

Dom's journey is fascinating—from his childhood in Germany drawing maps that would foreshadow his future global agency network, to driving innovation at McCann and MRM in NYC, to forming the Creative AI Academy. He has become a highly respected, influential voice in AI and design.

What I loved about this conversation, was how Dom emphasized the importance of remaining curious, authentic, and most importantly, human in an increasingly AI-driven world.

We explore everything from his early days as an entrepreneur and agency owner to his current mission of helping organizations and individuals navigate the transformation that AI brings to creative work.

What emerges is not just a discussion about technology but a deeper reflection on how we can become better humans in an AI-enhanced future.

Now over to Dom.
