AI and Life Long Learning

The Common Experience Podcast: Season 2, Episode 4

Adam on AI and Lifelong Learning

In Episode 4 of Season 2, we explore the powerful relationship between curiosity, continuous learning and the rise of AI. Adam joins us to share how a career shaped by lifelong learning has uniquely positioned him to engage with AI in meaningful, human-centred ways.

Adam currently leads People Analytics and People Platforms at Reece Group. Before returning to Australia in 2020, he spent years working internationally on advanced people analytics and HR innovation projects. His multidisciplinary background — spanning Psychology, IT, Epidemiology and Finance — gives him a rare ability to see patterns, ask better questions and translate data into real organisational outcomes.

Throughout his career, Adam has anchored his work in two simple but transformative questions: “So what?” and “Now what?” In this episode, he unpacks how those questions help him navigate the noise around AI, focus on impact and stay grounded in the purpose behind the technology.

Adam also shares reflections on his diverse career journey, how curiosity has shaped his path, and why constantly expanding your mental toolkit is becoming essential in an AI-enabled world.

It’s a thoughtful, energising conversation about staying adaptable, staying curious and staying human.
