    This is how technology deceives and misleads us

    In this episode John Sanei delivers a masterclass on the subject of how technological advances are helping and hindering us.
    Between Erik Kruger and John Sanei they unpack several fascinating points including:

    Jeremy Rifkin's book "Zero Marginal Cost Society" which unpacks how technology brings many costs down to almost zero; "everything that technology touches goes to zero in the replication of that product"


    How the CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman, plans to ask AI for a business model,

    and The six D's created by Peter Diamandis from Singularity University. Digitized, Dematerialized, Deceptive, Democratize, Demonetize, and Disrupt.\


    As John says "If you're over 35 years old, you have to work extra hard to engage with this information, to be able to unlearn old ways to realize that this is the new shiny thing."

    How to Engineer a Life of Practice

    In this episode, Erik and John discuss the correlation between sports teams and organizational teams. With sports teams, we see a lot of emphasis placed on practicing skills before doing the work, or stepping into a match. In business, we tend to jump straight into doing the work without setting good personal foundations. The importance of engineering a life of practice is vital to success.

Excellent Show

I came across The Expansive earlier this year when I heard Erik on The One-Eyed Man podcast - sounded intriguing so I gave it a listen on my commute and am now hooked. Erik and John are now the staple on my drives in to work as I am now going back to listen to every episode. Great content, great delivery, am so glad I found the podcast!
