EP 101 The Secret To Total Focus! How To Use FutureSelf AI To Stay Aligned With Your Goals with Gazal Vakili
<p>Can you use AI to reconnect with your own soul? Gazal Vakili, clinical researcher and founder of FutureSelf, joins the show to explore the boundary-blurring intersection of neuroscience, identity, and artificial intelligence. After two decades in the pharmaceutical and digital therapeutic industry where she witnessed the profound biological impact of the placebo effect. Gazal is now applying that rigor to a new frontier: consciousness technology.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this episode, we dive into the "FutureSelf" thesis: that your highest version already exists, and AI acts not as a creator, but as a mirror, helping you remember who you truly are. We discuss how voice cloning, neuroplasticity, and identity simulation can be used to "hack" the brain’s default mode network to rewrite limiting beliefs. Gazal shares her personal journey of shedding corporate identity to launch a movement, the importance of maintaining human agency in an AI-saturated world, and how to use technology to navigate the uncertainty of the future. Join us for a deep dive into the philosophy of the human experience and how we can use silicon to bridge the gap to our own essence.</p><p><br /></p><p>00:00 Introduction</p><p>01:37 Defining the "Higher Self" vs. the "Future Self"</p><p>03:25 Gazal’s Career Shift: From Pharma to Consciousness Tech</p><p>05:49 The Mystery and Power of the Placebo Effect</p><p>08:13 Using Clinical Rigor to Build Identity Simulation</p><p>12:12 Lessons from VR Therapeutic Trials</p><p>16:58 The Personal "Destruction" and Rebirth of Identity</p><p>23:52 How the FutureSelf App Works: Neuroscience and AI</p><p>29:48 Reconciling External AI Guidance with Internal Truth</p><p>35:20 Serving Those Who Are Ready for Self-Discovery</p><p>39:57 The Science of Future Self Continuity</p><p>42:14 Probability, Choice, and Free Will</p><p>48:15 The Role of Mortality in Shaping Human Purpose</p><p>53:09 Creating Mirrors, Not Crutches: The Future of AI Integration</p><p><br /></p><p>This show has been brought to you by 22HUMANS Podcast Agency.

EP 100 AI Can't Look Someone In The Eye And Know They're Uncomfortable - Can You? with Wes Gruver
<p>What if the skill you've spent your entire career developing is about to become worthless?</p><p><br /></p><p>In this episode, I sit down with Wes Gruver, a former Amazon Bar Raiser who conducted 500+ interviews, led Samsung's 1.1 billion-user database migration, and now advises Fortune 500 executives on AI strategy. Wes reveals the two interview questions that are now separating future-proof candidates from everyone else and his answers might unsettle you.</p><p><br /></p><p>We explore why the ability to recall information is becoming obsolete, what emotional intelligence has to do with job security, and why Jensen Huang wouldn't teach his kids to code. Wes breaks down the real problems executives are facing with AI adoption, shares the "whiteboard your pain" framework he uses with clients, and explains why there will soon be two kinds of people: those who control AI agents, and those controlled by them.</p><p><br /></p><p>We also dive into unexpected territory, the spiritual dimensions of self-awareness, recording your life as a practice, and what it means to live without secrets in an age of total transparency.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether you're an executive navigating AI strategy or an individual wondering how to stay relevant, this conversation offers both a wake-up call and a path forward.</p><p><br /></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>00:00 Introduction & Trailer Preview</p><p>01:14 Meet Wes Gruver: From AWS to AI Consultant</p><p>02:45 The Biggest Mistake Executives Make with AI</p><p>04:19 Best Use Cases: How AI Is Transforming Organizations</p><p>06:23 Agentic AI: Two Kinds of People in the Future</p><p>08:51 AI for Good: The Stethoscope That Detects Heart Disease</p><p>12:41 The Two Interview Questions Every Candidate Should Prepare For</p><p>17:51 Why Emotional Intelligence Is Your Last Advantage</p><p>20:06 Tools Wes Uses: Claude, Scheduling, and Data Analysis</p><p>22:36 The Future of Education: Why Memorization Is Dying</p><p>27:20 How AI Will Articulate Better Than Humans</p><p>31:48 Agents That Plan Your Life: The Dream and the Reality</p><p>38:54 Human Feedback: Why Subject Matter Experts Still Matter</p><p>46:14 Privacy in the Age of AI: Has the Cow Left the Barn?</p><p>49:53 Living Without Secrets: A Personal Experiment in Transparency</p><p>56:14 Recording Your Thoughts: From Keith Richards to AI Co-Workers</p><p>01:02:19 The Future Wes Wants to Leave Behind for His Kids</p><p>01:04:07 Where to Find Wes & Upcoming Events</p><p><br /></p><p>This show has been brought to you by 22HUMANS Podcast Agency.

EP 99 Sustainability Expert: "No One Had Even Applied Because They Don't Know It Exists!" The Grants You're Missing with Yadira Diaz
<p><strong>There are BILLIONS of dollars in sustainability grants and rebates sitting unclaimed because businesses don't know they exist.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>In this eye-opening episode, Yadira Díaz, founder of Gradible and Miami's first environmental concierge, reveals the massive financial opportunities hiding in plain sight for business owners willing to go green.</p><p>Yadira shares her journey from watching a life-changing documentary about the global landfill crisis to discovering that Miami, often seen as paradise, is actually ground zero for climate change. She exposes the city's shocking waste problem (they're now shipping trash by train to Orlando), the $64 billion Biscayne Bay ecosystem that's dying, and why the biggest misconception about sustainability is that it costs more.</p><p>Through real client stories, including helping a developer secure a $150,000 grant for revolutionary HVAC technology that cuts energy use by 90%, Yadira breaks down exactly how her marketplace connects businesses with hundreds of innovative solutions, from food waste turned into renewable energy to self-healing concrete and lumber made from seaweed.</p><p>Whether you're a business owner looking to cut costs, an entrepreneur interested in climate tech, or someone who wants to understand how sustainability and profitability can work together, this conversation will change how you think about waste, efficiency, and opportunity.</p><p>Timestamps:00:00 Sustainability Expert: "No One Had Even Applied Because They Don't Know It Exists!"
