Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for ADL 2026-05-04T09:45:13.437Z Scott Galloway told "The Diary of a CEO" podcast the skills he thinks will help kids succeed in the AI era. He said storytelling is the most enduring skill, and top CEOs excel at it. Building strong relationships will also be critical, he said. If you're a parent trying to AI-proof your kids' futures, entrepreneur-turned-professor Scott Galloway says your focus should be on helping them develop durable skills like storytelling and relationship-building.
