I’ve been thinking about the power of language and the #metaphors we use to describe ourselves. We better get good at being #human because our old niche will soon be taken. ow.ly/fSpk50OCmrK

How do we develop our #tastes? Recommendation #engines suggest things we might like based on what we've liked before, or what similar people like. But, we also #develop our tastes from things we don't like. ow.ly/MC2W50OFcEi

I believe the path to #human #thriving is more about using #technology to rewild ourselves as quickly as we can than adding RAM to our brains. Where does that leave us humans? Human-as-_______________ What do you think our new metaphor should be? ow.ly/b6sX50OI35X

By only showing us things we already like, recommendation engines can keep us from growing up fully. If we’re only exposed to things we’re expected to like, our tastes will just be the same as everyone else’s, which could be a big problem in the future. ow.ly/KjBa50OFcZa

What can we do to keep and develop our own #taste? As AI starts doing more tasks, what’s left for us is to have our own point of view, or taste, in what we do. ow.ly/kLTn50OFe9p

When #Ford coined the term “cogs” to describe workers, he was describing the efficiency of #industrialization. The real #machines have arrived & they are better at being cogs. We better get good at being #human because our old niche will soon be taken. transformativetech.org/rethink-yourse…

Last year ended with an important #experiment out of Finland, though few recognized its significance. Human pairs played a car racing video game together. These pairs were separated. And their #brains #synced anyway. ow.ly/4Azl50OOzxa

It was believed that you needed to be in the same place, or at least on zoom, to #sync your #brain, but this belief is now shattered. This might seem like a mundane event, but in the #digitalage the importance of this development touches us all. ow.ly/LWr450OOzQC

Have you heard of Ignite #talks? An Ignite Talk is a fast-paced 5 min talk with only 20 slides that auto advance every 15 seconds. Here’s mine on #Transformation and what I think the next chapter of #tech entails. What yours would be? ow.ly/ahfO50P9Egv

An honor to be onstage with Nanea Reeves, David Rabin MD, and Jeffrey Becker to discuss advancements in #technology applications to support the therapeutic #psychedelic interventions. These brilliant founders are part of the #TransformativeTech community ow.ly/pYYV50P9F1h

A lot of people believe the problems we’re facing on a #global scale are related to #tech. But the truth is, much of what we’re struggling with just boils down to a lack of #belonging. You can watch, listen, or read the Corporate Unplugged podcast here: ow.ly/eaIG50PkhRW

I recently had the incredible opportunity to chat with Gordy Bal about his new book, “The New Millionaires Playbook“, which was just released yesterday, the 8th of August. In our conversation, Gordy shares that this book is about redefining #wealth. ow.ly/Aj5850Pw3Qf

I’ve been looking for great examples of #AI being used in new ways to support human #development. Turns out Abigail Blyler and Martin Seligman published a study that uses AI to construct a #PersonalNarrative! ow.ly/BJur50PT0ER

Marc Andreessen published his latest manifesto on “Techno-Optimism” Monday morning. Given his influence, it’s worth a read, no matter how you feel about his position. I agree with many points and strongly disagree with others. ow.ly/s81C50PYi7O

We’ve always known that person-to-person chats are special. Our brains are built to pick up on small details from faces during these talks. A recent study from Yale shows something interesting: ow.ly/RyzL50Q5xmS

The arrival of the GenAI’s will force us to #grow in ways we didn’t expect. #AI Agents will take the 80% off your hands, we’re going to have to find our Unique Abilities, marked by skill, passion, energy, and the potential for never-ending improvement​​.ow.ly/vBXl50Q5z5S

How strange is it that becoming your truest self is the most reasonable response to #GenAI. #AI Agents will take the 80% off your hands. #Authenticity will matter more. Why are you here? What does your soul desire to create? ow.ly/6p0950Q5zjE

Turns out, while you may not be able to tell the difference between a “real” or “fake” face… Your brain can. There's a gap between our conscious perception and the brain’s abilities. What if a solution to deep fakes is to amplify your current abilities? ow.ly/mhji50Qaaqb

#Conflict seeking and conflict avoiding are not the same thing in a spectrum. You can be a person who doesn't avoid conflict but doesn't seek it either. I had the pleasure of being invited to the #Unlearn Podcast with Barry O'Reilly. Here is a short clip of our conversation:

I believe that a founder’s mental, emotional, and social health is key to their success. Watch this talk to see what some investors don’t want you to know. ow.ly/MwYB50QpEgr
