The future is tech. The purpose is human. This podcast lives in the space between. Andrea Peer and Susan Leonardson are self-proclaimed tech geeks who spend their days building digital systems and geeking out over the latest AI tools. But somewhere along the way, they started asking bigger questions: In a world racing toward automation, what makes us human in the first place? And how do we hold onto that as everything around us evolves? This isn't an anti-tech show. Susan and Andrea love tech (they might love it too much). But they've noticed that the more we optimize, automate, and outsource, the easier it is to forget the humans at the center of it all. Including ourselves. We Are Human is their exploration of what it means to stay human in a tech-driven world. Expect honest conversations, nerdy tangents, guest interviews with people who study what makes us tick, and the occasional existential question that doesn't have a clean answer. The future is tech. The thing that makes it matter is being human. This podcast is about not forgetting that. Stay human. Stay connected.

    AI Didn't Replace This Expert, It Multiplied Him with Preston Anderson

    Preston Anderson knows things about the tax code that most CPAs will never tell you. And now, thanks to AI, that knowledge is no longer locked inside one person's brain. In this episode, Andrea and Susan sit down with Preston, a tax strategist who built a 12-person firm around doing what most accountants refuse to do: using the tax code the way it was actually written. Preston is blunt about the industry, clear about what is legal, and completely unbothered by competition. He is also the last person you would expect to build a custom software app in 10 days with zero coding experience. And then he did exactly that. This conversation goes deep on what it actually looks like when original intelligence meets artificial intelligence, not as a replacement, but as a multiplier. Preston's story is a masterclass in why deep expertise is an asset in the AI era, not a liability. In this episode, you'll learn: Why most CPAs leave serious money on the table, and what a real tax strategist does differentlyHow Preston built a full custom app on Replit in 10 days by dumping his frustrations into an AI tool instead of writing a single line of codeWhy AI gives dangerously bad tax advice by default, and how an expert has to fight it to get to the right answerWhat the pizza tracker analogy reveals about client trust, transparency, and the future of professional servicesHow Preston plans to take his own expertise and put it into the hands of accountants across the country Connect with Preston Anderson: Facebook: facebook.com/Preston312 Connect with Us: Watch episodes: wearehumanshow.comWork with us: GeekOutConnect.com

    Your brain was designed to heal your body. So why isn't it working? Lori Olds, naturopathic practitioner and founder of Ascend Brain Center, joins Andrea and Susan to break down the science of why so many of us are stuck in chronic fight-or-flight, and what it actually takes to get out.

    The Senses AI Will Never Own with Mark Stern

    AI can write your emails, build your funnel, and personalize every touchpoint in your client journey. But what it can't do is create what happens off screen, the moment your client tears open a box, runs their fingers across the pages, catches the scent of something unexpected, and feels the weight of a medal they actually earned. That experience is entirely, irreducibly human. And according to Mark Stern, most online business owners are leaving it completely on the table. Mark is the founder of Custom Box Agency, and in this conversation with Andrea and Susan, he makes the case that we've been so seduced by the efficiency of digital that we've accidentally stripped out the very thing that makes transformation stick: the body. Experience is perceived through the senses, and every fully digital product is working with two of the five. The other three are wide open, and almost nobody in the online business world is touching them. This is an episode about reclaiming the senses AI will never own, and building a business around them. In this episode, you'll hear: Why digital-only delivery is failing clients at the moment they need momentum mostHow tapping into touch, smell, and physical interaction creates deeper memory and identity shiftsWhy the decline of the info product is actually an invitation to do something more humanHow to design a physical product experience that builds confidence, gamifies progress, and keeps clients engaged for the long haulWhy the rise of AI is making physical products more powerful, not less, and what "AI-enabled" boxes actually look like in practice Connect with Mark Stern: Website: customboxagency.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mark.sternoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marustern/ Connect with Us: Work with us: https://GeekOutConnect.comWatch episodes: https://WeAreHumanShow.com If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review.

    You're Not as Present as You Think You Are with Sarah Grace Allred

    When was the last time you walked away from a conversation and thought, "That person was completely, fully there with me"? Not checking their phone. Not waiting for their turn to talk. Not trying to impress you. Just, there. That's what it feels like to spend time with Sarah Grace Allred. And in this episode, Andrea and Susan go deep trying to figure out exactly how she does it, and whether the rest of us can learn it too. What starts as a conversation about presence turns into something much bigger: a real exploration of what makes human connection possible in a world that keeps pulling us away from each other. Sarah's secret weapon is a single question she carries into every room she enters: "How are we alike?" Not what can I get from this person, not how do I look, not what do I need to say next. Just, where do we meet? In this episode, you'll learn: The question Sarah asks in every conversation that creates instant connection, and how to make it your ownWhy the ordinary, unsung parts of someone's life matter more than their accomplishments when it comes to real relationshipHow a lesson from Sarah's late grandmother (a tobacco farmer who was unfazed by prophets) shaped the way she moves through the worldThe difference between the hero's journey and the heroine's journey, and what it reveals about what people actually need before they'll trust youWhy making space for hesitation, fear, and uncertainty builds deeper loyalty than confidence ever couldWhat it means to let another person's lostness, and your own, be the bridge between you This one is for anyone who has ever wanted to be better at showing up for the people in their life, in conversations, in business, and everywhere in between.
