We’re living through a world-changing moment, and nobody really knows where it ends up. So I brought on Sam Webster Harris (host of “How to Change the World”) to zoom out and make sense of AI the only way he knows how: by comparing it to the biggest shifts in human history.

We talk about what AI can’t touch (yet), why human “chaos” still matters, how the speed of change is messing with our ability to learn, and what happens when entire career paths become outdated mid-degree. We also dig into the historical parallels that actually help, the ones that don’t, and Sam’s warning label for this era: more nuance, less tribal nonsense, and a lot more collaboration.

How to Change the World

This one’s... a little different.

In this episode, I turn the mic on ChatGPT to talk about how artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping our digital lives.

Albeit unconventional, we still have a really interesting discussion, unpacking how algorithms now curate reality for us, what it means to stay creative when machines can “create,” and why we trust AI more than the humans behind it.

It’s part philosophy, part therapy session for the internet age — asking: When everything online is generated, filtered, or predicted by AI… what’s still authentically human?

Listen for a thoughtful, funny, and slightly eerie reflection on trust, creativity, and the strange comfort of sharing your feed with a machine.

What if connection isn’t about constant communication — but the courage to show up fully when you do?

Writer and speaker Kat Kibben joins me for a conversation about attention, boundaries, and what it means to be available in the digital age. We talk about presence as the foundation of real connection, the myth of “always on” authenticity, and why honesty sometimes needs to sound a little awkward through a screen.

Three ideas we unpack together:

• Attention as empathy — why focus is the most generous thing we can give.

• Boundaries as care — how structure creates space for real connection.

• Honesty as warmth — the art of saying what you notice, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Because staying human online isn’t about using fewer screens — it’s about bringing more of yourself to the ones that are already there.
