The Dangerous Lie We Tell Ourselves About AI

What does it take to keep reinventing yourself from medicine to machine learning, to Microsoft, to building technology that could transform healthcare around the world? In this episode of the Mindset Boosters Podcast, Umar Hameed sits down with Dr. Khan Siddiqui, founder and CEO of Hoppr, for a fascinating conversation about innovation, resilience, leadership, and the future of AI. They explore: • Why “If you don’t try, the answer is no” became a guiding philosophy • How Khan thinks about risk, persistence, and probability • Why first-principles thinking leads to breakthrough innovation • The difference between product-market fit and a broken sales strategy • Why trust is the foundation of high-performing teams • How leaders can give people the confidence to take on challenges they’ve never faced before • What AI means for the future of healthcare, leadership, and human connection This is a conversation about much more than technology. It’s about curiosity, courage, trust and the mindset required to solve problems that other people assume can’t be solved.
