In this brief studio conversation, Vishen Lakhiani challenges the habit of working every Friday in 2026, prompting audience members to share their own unproductive Friday experiences—such as attending unnecessary meetings or writing reports that go unread. The dialogue highlights the inefficiency of traditional Friday work culture and positions the upcoming Mindvalley AI Summit (March 20‑22, 2026, a free 12‑hour live Zoom event) as an alternative way to spend Fridays. The summit features notable guests—entrepreneur Daniel Priestley, AI strategist Noelle Russell, creative technologist Manon Dave, and systems architect Vikintas Glodenis—who will showcase AI innovations and practical applications. The overall message encourages viewers to rethink their Friday routines and join the free summit for learning and inspiration.

Are you still working every single Friday? In the year 2026?
I'm as shocked as you are, Vishen. Let's ask our studio audience about their Fridays.
I had 4 meetings. None of them needed me. I was just there.
I wrote a report on Friday that nobody read until the following Wednesday.
There you have it, folks. Now let's see what Vishen does on his Fridays.
Behold, walking And baking. Sharpening technique, skill, and eye contact. And relaxing on the beach. What's your secret, Vishen?
Now I'm bringing that method to you free, live, for 3 days in March.
Mindvalley presents the AI Summit. Presenting Daniel Priestley, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and a man who has built multiple companies Noelle Russell, AI strategist who has built AI systems for Microsoft and Amazon. Manon Dave, the creative technologist who co-creates AI innovations with Will.i.am. And Vikintas Glodenis, the systems architect who will show you how to wire the whole thing together, and many more guests for your viewing pleasure.
And you, what does your Friday look like now?
I've spent years believing this is just how work is, but now I'm starting to question that.
