  • AI Gods, Space Empires, and the Stories Tech Uses to Justify Power with Adam Becker 8|3

    AI Gods, Space Empires, and the Stories Tech Uses to Justify Power with Adam Becker 8|3
    Feb 18 2026
    What if the loudest stories about the future—AI gods, Mars colonies, digital immortality—aren’t science at all, but science fiction masquerading as inevitability? In this episode of The Radical Candor Podcast, Kim Scott and Amy Sandler are joined by science journalist and astrophysicist Adam Becker (PhD in computational cosmology), author of More Everything Forever. Adam breaks down the “big three” myths that dominate Silicon Valley’s imagination: space colonization, superintelligent god-like AI, and the singularity. He explains why both the utopian and apocalyptic versions of AI stories often share the same assumption—unimaginable AI power—and why that assumption doesn’t match reality. They also explore the deeper pattern underneath these myths: the belief that every problem can be solved with technology (usually computer technology), even when the barriers are political and social—collective action, persuasion, solidarity, and power. Along the way, Adam shares how he stayed sane while writing about “seriously disturbing ideas,” and why reconnecting with the natural world (and real human relationships) is a necessary antidote to screen-mediated life. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the “AI will save us” vs. “AI will doom us” debate, this conversation offers a clearer, more grounded frame—and a reminder that being human matters. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠ Resources for show notes: ⁠Adam Becker’s website⁠ ⁠More, Everything, Forever book page⁠ ⁠Adam Becker on Star Talk podcast⁠ ⁠Dave Troy presents: Understanding TESCREAL with Dr. Timnit Gebru and Émile Torres⁠ ⁠Why Silicon Valley’s Most Powerful People Are So Obsessed With Hobbits⁠ Referenced in conversation: Blade Runner (as an example of dystopian sci-fi being misunderstood) Star Wars / Jabba the Hutt (as an example of misreading stories) Lord of the Rings / Palantír (as a cautionary reference) Jurassic Park (“they didn’t stop to consider whether they should”) Public libraries (as a civic good worth supporting) Chapters: (00:00) Introduction Kim and Amy welcome Adam Becker to unpack Silicon Valley’s stories about the future.

  • Leadership Unblocked: The 7 Hidden Beliefs That Hold Leaders Back with Muriel Wilkins 8|2

    Leadership Unblocked: The 7 Hidden Beliefs That Hold Leaders Back with Muriel Wilkins 8|2
    Feb 11 2026
    Why do so many leaders work hard to change — only to end up in the same place months later? What if the problem isn’t effort, but the beliefs running in the background? In this episode of The Radical Candor Podcast, Kim Scott and Amy Sandler are joined by Muriel Wilkins — executive coach, C-suite advisor, host of Coaching Real Leaders, and author of Leadership Unblocked. Together, they unpack why high performers default to action, how action bias can backfire when internal beliefs stay the same, and what it takes to create sustainable leadership growth. Muriel introduces seven common “hidden blockers,” including I need it done now, I can’t say no, and I don’t belong here, and explains how these beliefs drive behavior that feels productive in the short term but creates dissonance over time. The conversation also explores how leaders can build the muscle of noticing what’s happening internally, ask better coaching questions without attachment, and reduce unnecessary suffering by changing how they respond to challenges. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep ending up here again?” this episode offers a grounded, practical way forward.

    It’s Not Too Late: Getting Unstuck Mid-Career with Adrion Porter 8|1
    Jan 21 2026
    What do you do when the career path that once felt clear no longer is? What if that stuck, uneasy feeling in the middle of your career isn’t a failure, it’s information and an opportunity to rewrite your career story. On this episode of The Radical Candor Podcast, Adrion Porter founder of Mid-Career Mastery, host of the podcast Gen X Amplified, and a LinkedIn top voice joins Kim and Jason to talk honestly about the “Messy Middle” and what to do when your old definitions of success no longer fit. Together, they explore Adrion’s Mastery Map, a practical framework for getting unstuck by letting go of limiting beliefs, finding meaning, and making intentional choices even when the next step isn’t obvious. They also dig into navigating generational differences, the reality of different lived experiences and the divisive stories we tell ourselves and how to strengthen relationships across generations. If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain about what’s next, or frustrated that doing your best work feels harder than it used to, this conversation offers grounded ways to move forward.
