    "Born Smart or Built Smart? The Truth About Intelligence and Effort"

    Sunday, July 26 at 2:30 p.m. Central Time (3:30 Eastern, 12:30 Pacific)

    Alexander Puutio, Adjunct Professor at Columbia University and author of the new book AI for MBAs: The Essential Guide for Leaders Building AI-Driven Enterprise, will explore the critical distinction between being "born smart" and being "built smart." He will also examine how curiosity, metacognition, resilience, and deliberate practice shape effective intelligence, often outweighing genetic endowment. By looking at how individuals and organizations foster, or sabotage, their own cognitive performance, we can identify the tools and environments that maximize human potential. For Mensa members in particular, the opportunity lies in shifting the conversation from static measures of IQ to dynamic strategies for making intelligence count in the world.
