EP 103 How a “Leg in a Box” Could Bring Mobility to Millions
What if a prosthetic leg could be fitted in the field, delivered in a single day, and eventually cost less than $250? Travis Horn, Founder and Executive Director of Legacy Prosthetics, joins the Human Future Podcast to explain Leg in a Box - a modular system designed to bring prosthetic mobility to people who cannot reach or afford a traditional laboratory.
Travis breaks down the direct-to-fit socket technology behind the system, why centralized labs limit access, and how telehealth and locally trained technicians could help scale care worldwide. He also shares the story of Rudy, a child in Haiti whose journey inspired the mission, and explains why mobility means far more than a medical device. It can restore work, education, health, independence, and hope.

EP 102 We Can't Delegate Our Thinking To ChatGPT & Claude!" The Hidden Cost Of AI Autonomy
What if the real risk of artificial intelligence isn't the technology itself, but what happens when we outsource our thinking to it before knowing who we are? In this episode of the Human Future podcast, Kirill sits down with Lisa "Fancyfied" Francoeur, technologist, co-founder of Crypto Tutors, co-inventor of the NSF-backed workforce platform DeFi All Odds, and the creator of Authentic Intelligence. Drawing on her decade inside enterprise tech, including LinkedIn through the Microsoft acquisition era, Lisa argues that AI is about to gain autonomy and agency, and humans who haven't done the deep work of self-knowledge will be swept along by it.
The conversation moves through her four-pillar system of self-governance, why every person needs a personal board of directors, how a near panic attack in January 2026 led her to write Becoming Her, and why time sovereignty beats time scarcity. Lisa also unpacks somatic therapy, the dangers of social media on young people, and how to reverse-engineer a more harmonious human future starting today.
00:00 Introduction and the Urgency of Authentic Intelligence
02:00 Why Authenticity Matters in a Fabricated Society
04:27 Growing Up Rebellious: Lisa's Origin Story
06:24 Souls on a Mission and the Sacred Contract
08:24 An Inflection Point in Human History
12:41 One Human Race: Why Every Person Matters
14:51 The Four Pillars: Intentional Design and Imagineering
21:04 Building Your Personal Board of Directors
26:38 Can AI Be Your Mentor? The Hegelian Dialectic
30:36 Legacy Roadmap and Kaizen: Continuous Evolution
40:12 Know Thyself: From Ancient Greece to the Age of AI
47:44 The Panic Attack That Became a Framework
52:30 Somatic Therapy, Time Sovereignty, and Becoming Her
57:32 Closing Reflection: Going Within to Find Your Purpose

EP 101 The Secret To Total Focus! How To Use FutureSelf AI To Stay Aligned With Your Goals with Gazal Vakili
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.
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.
00:00 Introduction
01:37 Defining the "Higher Self" vs. the "Future Self"
03:25 Gazal’s Career Shift: From Pharma to Consciousness Tech
05:49 The Mystery and Power of the Placebo Effect

12:12 Lessons from VR Therapeutic Trials
16:58 The Personal "Destruction" and Rebirth of Identity
23:52 How the FutureSelf App Works: Neuroscience and AI
29:48 Reconciling External AI Guidance with Internal Truth
35:20 Serving Those Who Are Ready for Self-Discovery

EP 84 - The Biggest Disruption in Human History Is Here with Tarja Stephens
Published 6 Nov 2025 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Like the maybe maybe not your kids are engaging in, but other kids or maybe your kids, something that you would say, oh, let's look at this and make sure we fixed it or like we figure this part out or something like that. No, I think that's a great question and very, very close to my heart. I think every parent is looking this technology with the worry as well as we need to understand it better and how our children are using it. So a lot of big questions. Let me say this. I think our future is very much of a collective as all of us and adults coming and making sure that the safety is number one priority. […]
