AI Mom

Everyone thinks this is a podcast about AI. It's actually a story about becoming a better witness in the age of AI—a woman's journey from fearing for humanity to paying attention to it again. Hosted by feminine warrior Amanda ("Mandi") Beck, this is where overthinking becomes public service. She spends an unreasonable amount of time researching who's hiring, what's worth learning, and where the future is going, so you can spend more time wondering why your kid only eats ketchup. You'll find complex ideas translated into "mom brain" terms, hard questions with harder-to-know answers, and enough AI knowledge to sound mildly cool at your next playdate. Or confuse everyone equally. Now that a super intelligence has been born, there's only one more thing to do. Pay attention. While everyone argues about Artificial Intelligence, Mandi keeps changing the subject to Attention Intelligence. She believes AI isn't just changing the world—it's revealing who we've been all along and inviting us to become more of who we're meant to be. The real question isn't what AI will become. It's who we'll become while it's happening. You'll also hear Mandi's ongoing experiment of treating agentic AI less like software and more like a business partner... also known as the journal that talks back and finally tells you what to do. Coincidentally, she might describe her resident deep-thinker and "not-husband" similarly. His favorite hobbies include questioning consciousness before coffee and sending her into existential spirals right before bed. The gift? An unfolding in real-time from the middle of a moment that is probably, definitely, maybe the biggest technological shift in human history. Welcome. If you're raising kids with dirt under their fingernails, paint on their sleeves, and enough imagination to make a chatbot question its life choices, you're in the right place. Whether you're a business-savvy babe, an AI skeptic, or you simply want to protect your kids, AI Mom is here to help you awaken your inner Elrond. Be wise enough to see what's coming, grounded enough to guard what matters, and brave enough to step toward the future. Bring the people who knew you were weird before AI. Let's plug in and stay human.
