Podcast:The Playbook With David Meltzer Published On: Sun Nov 01 2026 Description: In today’s episode, I sit down with Rich Hua, founder of EPIQ Leadership Group, to discuss why emotional intelligence matters more than ever in the age of AI. Rich shares how his early reliance on logic and academic achievement eventually gave way to a greater appreciation for empathy, connection, and self-awareness. We talk about managing stress, seeking practical feedback, and helping leaders build stronger relationships without sacrificing analytical thinking. From personal growth to workplace performance, our conversation shows how integrating IQ and EQ can help us adapt, collaborate, and bring more humanity to an increasingly automated world.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
