About Forked

Change rarely arrives all at once. It builds quietly—inside us, around us—until the old story can no longer carry the weight. Forked explores those moments of reckoning, where individuals and societies face the choice to continue as we are, or step into something new. These are the stories of the forks in the road, and the transformations that follow. Follow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/seanchrislewis/ (https://www.instagram.com/seanchrislewis/)

   Staying Relevant in the Age of AI With John Bennett: The Journeyman Season

   If you've ever wondered whether AI will replace your job — or redefine it — this conversation is for you. Staying Relevant in the Age of AI In this episode of Forked, Sean Lewis sits down with John Bennett, author of Don’t Surrender Your Thinking and host of the AIQualiser Podcast. John shares a powerful idea from his book: “You’re not replaceable if you stay relevant.” Together we explore how AI works, why critical thinking is becoming more important than ever, and how individuals can work with AI without losing their sense of identity or purpose. In this conversation we discuss: • How AI generates text using predictive models• Why maintaining critical thinking is essential in the age of AI• The importance of approaching AI with clear intent rather than letting it dictate outcomes• Why revision and human judgment remain crucial when working with AI• Whether AI will force us to rethink how we define ourselves through our work• Why curiosity may be our most valuable skill moving forward• The danger of outsourcing our thinking entirely to technology• Why human interaction and awareness still matter in meaningful work• How AI can free up time — if we use that time wisely Ultimately, John argues that the key to staying relevant isn't competing with AI — it's choosing to remain the thinker in the process.

   Gita for Gen Z: Ancient Wisdom in an Age of Anxiety: A conversation with Sanidhya Agarwal on stress, focus, and modern life (The Journeyman Season)

   Welcome to Forked. In this episode I’m talking with Sanidhya Agarwal, author of Gita for Gen Z, for a deep and honest conversation about stress, focus, modern life, and the wisdom we’ve left behind. Drawing from his university experience and personal struggles, Sanidhya shares why ancient teachings like the Bhagavad Gita aren’t relics of the past—but practical guides for navigating today’s mental overload. This episode is a conversation with Sanidhya Agarwal, author of Gita for Gen Z, he shares his thought on what happens when ancient wisdom meets modern pressure. Sanidhya tells us what first provoked him to write the book, tracing the idea back to his time at university, where he witnessed—both in himself and his peers—a growing undercurrent of stress, anxiety, and inner unrest. What became clear to him was the absence of spiritual grounding in a world that increasingly rewards speed, productivity, and constant comparison. Our conversation moves into the cultural crossroads of modern India, including a thoughtful discussion on Western outsourcing, capitalism, and how rapid economic change has both improved lives and quietly reshaped values, identity, and inner well-being. We explore why the ability to focus—to sit quietly with one’s own mind—is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Sanidhya explains how modernity has intensified mental restlessness, and why practices rooted in stillness, reflection, and self-observation are more relevant now than ever. We also dive into: The psychological toll of fear of missing out Why keeping a daily journal or diary can be a stabilizing force What to do when you’ve followed all the “right steps” in life—and the path suddenly disappears This episode is an invitation to slow down, question inherited ideas of success, and reconnect with inner clarity in an increasingly noisy world.
