From Anti-Tech Athlete to VC Leader: Matt Biggins on AI, Education, and the Human Edge

In this episode of the Smarter Campus Podcast, Zach Kinzler sits down with Matt Biggins, Managing Director of the Wolverine Fund at Utah Valley University and a dynamic force in student-run venture capital.

From decathlete to venture capitalist, Matt’s unorthodox journey shapes a unique perspective on AI, education, and the future of work. Together, Zach and Matt explore:

How Matt uses ChatGPT as a thought partner—not a crutch
Why today's education systems aren't preparing students for AI-integrated careers
What soft skills will matter most in the AI age
The paradox of democratized knowledge vs. shallow understanding
Real talk on AI’s impact on job applications, productivity, and creativity

Matt’s advice? Use AI to sharpen your thinking, not skip it. And double down on the human skills machines can’t replace.

Whether you're a student, educator, or professional navigating this AI-driven shift, this episode will leave you inspired to think deeper, learn smarter, and stay human.
