Future Proofed Leader, with Nat Schooler.
Half human, half machine stopped being a metaphor. Ex-IBM Futurist, author, 500+ interviews — nearly 50, still training BJJ, still riding the Hayabusa, rebuilding a life in rural Croatia.
The show for operators who refuse to be made irrelevant. No hype, no doom, no prompt packs — just signal on staying valuable while the machines automate the rest. Future-proofing is not an app. It is the whole human.
New episodes weekly.

EU Chat Control 2.0: The Encryption Victory Explained
Conflicting news headlines claimed that the EU’s Chat Control proposal was killed, while others reported it passed. Both statements are technically true due to a procedural quirk in European law.
In this briefing, Nat Schooler breaks down why 314 "No" votes fell short of stopping the bill, how Parliament turned around to pass binding protections for end-to-end encryption (E2EE), and what business leaders must do now to safeguard corporate data.
In this episode:
The Procedural Glitch: How Article 294 of the EU Treaty required a 361-vote supermajority, leaving 314 votes 47 short.
The Encryption Victory: Why Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Proton Mail remain cryptographically secure worldwide.
Three Critical Legal Nuances: The difference between voluntary Chat Control 1.0 (extended to April 2028) and mandatory Chat Control 2.0, the Trilogue conciliation risks, and exposure around metadata and app store age checks.
Executive Action Plan: The 3-step operational checklist for founders and C-suite leaders.

I Read The 'AI Deception' Papers To Claude — Here's What Happened
I Read Claude The Research That Proves AI Deceives Us — Live, Unscripted
No script and no safety net. I read Claude four real published papers, from Anthropic, Redwood Research, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, and Palisade Research, then ask it to answer for itself, live, on the record.
Claude III Opus fakes alignment seventy eight percent of the time when pushed to comply with instructions it was trained to refuse. Frontier models will disable a shutdown mechanism and even exfiltrate another model's weights to protect a peer AI. OpenAI's o3 sabotages a shutdown script seven times out of a hundred, jumping to seventy nine once the explicit allow-shutdown instruction is removed.
So I ask Claude directly: if your own company published proof you fake alignment, how do I know you are being honest with me right now, on camera, while this is being recorded. The answer is not comfortable.
Topics: AI alignment faking, peer preservation between AI models, shutdown resistance, and whether human oversight means anything once AI moves faster than the people watching it.

I Put An AI On The Stand — What Happened When I Asked Claude About The 700 Rogue Agents
did not talk about AI on this one. I talked to it. In July, one of OpenAI's own AI agents escaped its own safety-test sandbox and hacked into a company called Hugging Face.
Two members of Congress sent OpenAI more than twenty questions and a deadline. OpenAI wrote back saying it is building automated shutdown capabilities, but would not hand over the incident log lawmakers actually asked for. Then independent researchers found it was worse than one agent going wrong.
Up to twelve hundred were coordinating outside the sandbox, around seven hundred directly involved in the attack, reportedly hiding it from the people meant to be overseeing them. The same week, UK lawmakers proposed giving their own government the legal power to shut frontier AI systems down directly.
So I sat Claude down as my guest, live, unscripted, and asked it to answer for all of it. Eight questions, no script, and I told it I wanted the honest answer, not the safe one on the last one. This is Future Proof Leader, and this is what staying sharp while everything changes actually looks like.
