  • Steven Kotler: Why Human Skills Matter More in the Age of Ai

    Steven Kotler: Why Human Skills Matter More in the Age of Ai
    Sep 23 2026


    What happens when Ai gets better at doing the work, but relying on it too much starts weakening the human skills that make your work valuable?


    In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with my good friend Steven Kotler, bestselling author and founder of the Flow Research Collective, for a fascinating conversation about Ai, creativity, flow, and human performance.


    Steven has spent decades studying the brain at its best, and he has some strong opinions about how we're using Ai.


    His biggest rule is simple: the human starts first.


    Steven believes you should think, learn, create, and develop your own point of view before bringing Ai in for feedback and refinement. Otherwise, you risk handing over some of the mental work that develops judgment, memory, creativity, and original thinking.


    Steven and I also dig into why so much Ai-generated communication feels the same, how Ai changes purpose and mastery inside organizations, and why taste, storytelling, attention, and intuition may become even more valuable as the technology improves.


    In this episode, Steven and I break down:

    • Why the human should start the thinking before bringing in Ai
    • Where Ai works best as a feedback and iteration partner
    • Why predictable Ai-generated writing can become easier to ignore
    • How Ai can affect purpose, identity, and mastery inside organizations
    • How I use Ai to rapidly prototype ideas and possible solutions
    • Why expertise and human judgment still matter
    • Why taste, creativity, attention, and storytelling are becoming more valuable


    One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that the better Ai gets, the more valuable human judgment becomes.


    Ai can help you move faster, explore possibilities, and get feedback almost instantly. But you still need the expertise, taste, creativity, and intuition to recognize what's worth pursuing.


    That's where I believe the real opportunity is.

  • Dana Cornell on How Wealthy Families Approach Financial Planning

    Dana Cornell on How Wealthy Families Approach Financial Planning
    Aug 26 2026
    What happens when you reach a certain level of success and realize the financial strategies you've been using may no longer fit where you are today?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Dana Cornell, founder of Cornell Capital Holdings, for a fascinating conversation about how successful business owners can think differently about taxes, investing, income, risk, and protecting what they've built.Dana has seen both sides of the financial world.He managed more than $1.4 billion at Morgan Stanley, served hundreds of clients, and eventually gained access to the advanced planning strategies being used with families at a very different level of wealth.What he saw changed the direction of his career.Dana realized there was an enormous difference between traditional wealth management and the coordinated approach available to ultra-wealthy families. Eventually, that gap became big enough that he decided to leave and build something different.Dana and I dug into what he learned behind the scenes, the mistakes successful founders often make with their own money, and why your financial strategy needs to evolve as your business and wealth become more complex.In this episode, Dana and I break down:Why Dana walked away from a $1.4 billion practice at Morgan Stanley?The 1% advisory fee that may actually be costing you closer to 20%Why do the ultra-wealthy keep most of their liquid capital out of stocks and bonds?What founders should understand about private and pre-IPO investing?Why the tax planning on a business or real estate sale has to happen before you sell?The risk most wealthy families overlook, and it isn't the marketEveryone has a CPA, an attorney, and an advisor. Almost nobody has a quarterbackOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that financial complexity requires coordination.You can have a great CPA, a great attorney, and a great financial advisor. But if nobody is looking at the entire picture and taking responsibility for how all those pieces work together, opportunities can easily get missed.For successful founders and business owners, this is an important conversation about making sure the wealth you've worked so hard to create is being managed with the same level of intention you bring to your businessTake Dana's free financial diagnostic quiz (10 questions or less — get your wealth score and freedom score): https://cchquiz.comWant Dana's tax calculator?

  • Aliens, Ai, and Human Potential: A Different Kind of Conversation

    Aliens, Ai, and Human Potential: A Different Kind of Conversation
    Jul 29 2026

    Could the search for aliens actually tell us more about ourselves than life beyond Earth?

    In this episode of Capability Amplifier, Dan Sullivan and Mike Koenigs take on one of their most unusual conversations yet.

    Starting with a simple question - Do aliens exist? - the discussion quickly expands into science, human intelligence, Ai, consciousness, space exploration, and the remarkable abilities already found throughout nature.

    Drawing on NASA's Webb Telescope, SpaceX, psychology, philosophy, and emerging Ai research, Dan and Mike explore why humans are fascinated by extraterrestrial life and what that curiosity reveals about our own potential.

    Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, technology, science, or simply enjoy exploring big ideas, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on one of humanity's oldest questions.


    In this episode, Dan and I break down:

    • Why Dan remains skeptical about extraterrestrial visitors
    • What NASA and the Webb Space Telescope have - and haven't - discovered
    • Why people naturally search for something greater than themselves
    • The surprising intelligence found in animals and nature
    • How Ai is helping us better understand human thinking
    • Consciousness, psychedelics, and the limits of current science
    • Why curiosity may be humanity's greatest competitive advantage
    • The future of robotics and space exploration

    Dan and I may not have solved the mystery of extraterrestrial life, but the conversation raises a bigger question:
    How much intelligence already surrounds us that we have not learned to recognize?
