    Human Connection in the Age of AI

    Michelle Culver, founder of The Rithm Project and former leader of Teach For America’s Reinvention Lab, is focused on rebuilding human connection in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Drawing from her work with young people, she describes how AI is already influencing human relationships. Michelle centers the need for intentional design that prioritizes human connection alongside technological advancement. Through immersive experiences and cross-generational dialogue, Culver is creating spaces where people can actively engage with possible futures and clarify what they want to preserve. Her work challenges the assumption that human connection will naturally (and healthily) endure in the age of AI, instead positioning it as something that must be consciously cultivated.

    What Happens When You Stop Chasing Goals?

    Rudy Karsan, an immigrant from Kenya and a serial entrepreneur who experienced repeated bankruptcies before selling a company to IBM for more than $1 billion, describes a turning point where achievement no longer provided meaning. In that recognition, he began to reorient his life toward joy, curiosity, and human connection. Through the creation of FunCon, he now cultivates spaces where people can engage in deep conversations and feel seen, supported, and fully present with one another. His perspective offers a redefinition of success as something that arises in loving relationships rather than material accumulations.

    Can Generosity Become Contagious?

    In this episode, Tom Cledwyn reframes generosity from a private moral act into a visible cultural force that can inspire wider participation. Through his own kidney donation, the work of Drop Dead Generous, and the thinking behind the podcast, Move Over Mother Teresa, Tom invites us to consider storytelling as a multiplier of impact. The conversation also pushes against the idea that meaningful change is reserved for saints, emphasizing instead that ordinary people can create real ripples when generosity is made practical, creative, and shareable. What emerges is the tension between humility and visibility: the instinct to stay quiet about good deeds, with the recognition that telling stories of generosity inspires others to act. The episode ultimately positions generosity as something that can be democratized, modeled, and culturally reactivated when people are willing to make it seen.

    Rethinking Education for a Complex World

    Mary Pat Champeau, Director of Graduate Programs at the Institute for Humane Education, reflects on a lifetime of work in global education systems—from the Peace Corps to refugee camps to the World Trade Institute to writing teachers’ editions of textbooks—and how those experiences shaped her approach to teaching and leadership. She emphasizes the importance of cultivating curiosity, critical thinking, and moral imagination as essential tools for addressing complex, interconnected challenges. Mary Pat centers education in general, and humane education in particular, not as information transfer, but as a process of liberating thought and expanding perspectives. She invites us to understand humane education as a dynamic, evolving practice that prepares people to think systemically and act with intention.

    Can Personal Healing Change the World?

    In this episode, Mark Anderson explores the idea that nervous-system literacy is a missing foundation in both personal well-being and social change. Reflecting on his own personal transformation from being the youngest CFO of a billion-dollar division of a Fortune 500 company to hitting rock bottom to finding a path forward to help others, Mark shares what he’s learned, with the hope that it will benefit others. Mark emphasizes that many people are too overwhelmed by fear, suffering, and internal dysregulation to fully participate in the larger work of repairing broken systems. His core belief is that helping people understand and regulate their inner lives is not separate from solutionary work, but a prerequisite for it. The episode ultimately makes the case that calmer, more self-aware people are better able to act with clarity, compassion, and agency in the world.

    The Hidden Ideology Shaping What We Eat

    In this episode, Melanie Joy unpacks carnism as the invisible belief system that conditions people to see some animals as worthy of compassion while accepting the abuse of those used for food as normal, necessary, and/or not open to debate. She explains that the issue is not only what people eat, but how ideology shapes perception, numbs empathy, and teaches people to disconnect from the consequences of their choices. The conversation expands beyond food politics into a deeper examination of violence, relational disconnection, and the cultural habits that make harm easy to ignore. Melanie also emphasizes that meaningful change does not come from shame or moral superiority, but from truth-telling grounded in compassion, emotional awareness, and honest reflection. A major thread of the episode is how to challenge entrenched systems without reproducing the same hostility and dehumanization that those systems depend on.

    How Can We Harness AI for Collective Flourishing?

    In this episode, Doug Alexander explores how AI is not simply another innovation, but a world-shaping force that can radically expand human possibility. At the same time, AI can also destabilize labor, governance, social cohesion, and escape democratic control if it outpaces our ability to set wise safeguards and policies. The central tension is whether society can build the moral, political, and economic frameworks needed to direct AI toward shared abundance, human meaning, and public good before the competitive race for dominance hardwires risk, concentration of power, and large-scale disruption into everyday life.

    Anti-Fragility Amidst Broken Systems

    This episode explores what it takes to restore agency, dignity, and direction in people who have been neglected by poverty, trauma, broken systems, and/or low expectations. The central tension is not simply how people find purpose, but how leaders, communities, and institutions create the conditions for people to believe they matter, endure strategic discomfort, and grow into lives of service, responsibility, and moral leadership.

    Rethinking the Purpose of School

    This conversation centers on the quiet but profound erosion of curiosity within modern schooling systems. Steve Cochrane, Executive Director of the Institute for Humane Education, argues that education has drifted from its human purpose — knowing and nurturing each child — toward compliance, standardization, and performance metrics. At its core, the episode asks whether schools can be redesigned to protect curiosity rather than suppress it.

    Can Workplaces Help Us Heal?

    This conversation centers on transforming the mental health system by expanding legal access to psychedelic-assisted therapies through employer-sponsored benefits. Sherry Rais, CEO of Enthea, explains how systemic design—not conspiracy—limits healing, and how strategic reform within corporate and insurance structures can make breakthrough therapies accessible at scale. The episode blends spirituality, systems thinking, and pragmatic reform, arguing that channeling urgency and even anger into love-driven action can reshape institutional care.

    Meat Without Slaughter

    This episode is truly about how we replace conventional meat at mass scale without asking consumers to compromise—by making alternative proteins win on taste, price, and availability—through the lens of Bruce Friedrich, Founder of the Good Food Institute. The central tension is simple: science is advancing, but engineering realities, capital timelines, and regulatory speed will determine whether this becomes a true displacement strategy or remains a niche category.
