Using AI without losing your human edge

In this episode of Delay the Binge™, Pam sits down with Leslie Grandy, a global product executive, advisor, and author of Creative Velocity: Propelling Breakthrough Ideas in the Age of Generative AI.

Leslie challenges one of the most common beliefs people carry: that creativity is a talent you either have or you don’t.

Instead, she explains why creativity is a skill — one that can be practiced, strengthened, and accessed on purpose, especially in moments of uncertainty. This conversation is for anyone who feels pressure to have the right answers, move faster, or be “more creative” and wants a healthier, more human way forward.

In This Episode You’ll Learn

  • Why so many people underestimate their creative ability
  • How staying grounded helps unlock better ideas
  • What pulls us out of flow and how to return
  • Why failure is feedback, not a verdict
  • How to work with AI without outsourcing judgment or meaning
Creativity is not a gift reserved for a few.
It’s a skill you can practice on purpose.

Why This Conversation Matters

Many people feel pressure to move faster, produce more, and somehow keep up with the pace of change — especially in the age of AI.

But Leslie offers a powerful reminder: speed without grounding can disconnect us from our best thinking. Real creativity does not come from panic or pressure. It comes from staying present, trusting the process, and being willing to practice new ways of seeing.

Her perspective connects beautifully to the heart of Delay the Binge™: when you pause long enough to stop reacting, you create room for wisdom, discernment, and a more human response.
