    PETER LEYDEN: IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD—IT’S THE DAWNING OF A NEW ONE

    🚨 Headlines scream collapse. Crisis. Chaos. But… what if the future isn’t falling apart—what if it’s just beginning? In this future-forward episode of The Rise of Humanness in the Age of AI, hosts Chris Nolan and Mike Schindler sit down with bestselling author, tech visionary, and unapologetic optimist Peter Leyden—founder of Reinvent Futures and former managing editor of WIRED—to flip the script on doom. Forget decline. This conversation is all about The Great Progression. Peter’s Message? “We’re not falling apart. We’re leveling up—big time.”   🚨 This Isn’t the “Great Reset.” It’s the Great Progression.   Leyden also teases insights from his forthcoming book 'The Great Progression: 2025 to 2050' and his Substack series.   Peter Leyden calls the era from 2025 to 2050 the Great Progression—a once-in-a-civilization leap forward. Imagine the post-WWII boom. Now add the internet revolution. Now multiply by AI. What steam power did for the industrial age, AI will do for human potential—if we build the right operating systems.   “AI isn’t just another tool. It’s a world-historic technology. Time to reboot civilization from the OS up.” – Peter Leyden   They delve into the significance of AI as a world-changing technology and its unparalleled impact on the economy, society, and even civilization at large. Peter discusses the critical (and turbulent) transition period we're currently navigating, the future of work, the potential for universal basic income, and how AI can create a more abundant and equitable society.   🚀 Unveiling "The Great Progression": How AI Will Transform Humanity (2025–2050) • AI as the catalyst for a new stage in human civilization • Navigating today’s turbulence to unlock future prosperity • Reinventing work, embracing universal basic income, and reshaping global systems • Why the coming decades (2025–2050) hold transformative potential   Get ready to explore how the next 25 years will be shaped by the advancements in AI and why the future looks brighter than ever.   🎯 Key Topics Covered: 00:00 Introduction and Weekend Recap 01:13 Memorable Moments and Connections 02:44 Travel Stories and Adventures 03:17 Career Highlights and Experiences 05:42 Podcast Format and Upcoming Plans 11:26 AI and Technological Evolution 26:42 The Necessity of Change: 2020-2030 27:04 The End of an Era: Shifting Systems 27:57 Emerging Technologies and New Norms 29:08 Navigating the Transition: The Great Progression 31:49 AI's Role in the New Operating System 32:49 Civilization Scale Change: A New Enlightenment 36:30 Reinventing Systems with AI 40:11 Adapting to AI: Staying Relevant 41:47 The Future of Work and Economy 46:12 Leadership in the AI Age 54:47 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   📚 Resources & Links: • 🌐 Learn more about Peter Leyden → https://www.reinventfutures.com• 🧠 Read The Great Progression: 2025–2050 (Substack series) → https://peterleyden.substack.com• 🎥 Watch Peter’s Talks + Future Histories → https://www.youtube.com/@ReinventFutures   📲 Follow & Connect: • 🔗 Follow Peter Leyden on LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterleyden• 🔗 Follow Chris Nolan → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisseannolan• 🔗 Follow Mike Schindler → https://www.linkedin.com/in/mjschindler   🎧 Listen on the Go: • 🟢 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/12IVOAL... • 🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... • 📻 Podbean → https://riseofhumanness.podbean.com   📲 Follow Us + Join the Movement: • 🔔 Subscribe to the YouTube channel →    / @riseofhumanness   • 📘 Facebook →   / 646046583275132   • 📬 Join our LinkedIn Newsletter →   / 7291576538771210240   • 💬 Blog + AI Leadership Tools → https://itsvucamax.com/blog/   #PeterLeyden #FutureProof #AIandHumanity #TheRiseOfHumanness #FutureOfWork #HumanCenteredAI #EthicalAI #AILeadership #DigitalHumanism #TechVsHumanity #AIethics #HumanPotential #TechResponsibility #Adaptability #Resilience #StorytellingInBusiness
