info_outlineThe AI-Driven Leader
What if artificial intelligence could free you from the daily grind and unlock your full potential as a strategic leader?
In this game-changing episode of Richer Soul, Rocky talks with Geoff Woods, international bestselling author of The AI-Driven Leader and founder of AI Leadership. Geoff shares how leaders can escape operational overwhelm, reclaim their time, and harness AI for exponential growth—no coding required.
From reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad at age 10 to scaling billion-dollar companies, Geoff's journey is fascinating. But it's what he reveals about leadership and technology that will change how you think—and lead—forever.
If you're a business owner, executive, or high achiever feeling stretched too thin, this episode is your blueprint for a smarter, freer life.
Key Takeaways:
- AI isn’t the future—it’s now. Geoff explains how even non-technical leaders can use AI today to eliminate overwhelm and 10x their impact.

Money Learnings from Geoff:
Geoff grew up with powerful financial habits thanks to his dad—saving early, avoiding debt, and investing wisely. By his early 20s, he had more saved for retirement than most people have in net worth. His big lesson? Start investing early, surround yourself with financially smart people, and focus on building assets—not just income.
