   #370: One Thing You Can't Forget in the Age of AI

   We are living in a time where information has never been more abundant. You can even feel how much more information you're consuming than you were even ten years ago. Nearly everything you need to know is just a click away. And with the rise of AI, that stream of information isn't slowing down. If anything, it's going to speed up. Although controversial, I actually don't think AI is something to be afraid of. In fact, AI brings a multitude of benefits, including time abundance that helps you get out and live. But, like all things, there is always a downside. How you use it and what you use it for will determine the health of AI in your life. One reality that AI highlights is this: Consuming more information won't move your life forward. That's the illusion of information. It leads you to assume that knowing more will transform your life, when it can't. The gap between knowing and living is called the wisdom gap. And as information overload speeds up, the gap is becoming more glaringly obvious. Just because you "know" something doesn't mean you have wisdom. In fact, knowing too much can muddy the waters, leading to confusion and stagnation. It leads to information overload that can quickly turn into information paralysis. In this podcast, I share more on the illusion of knowledge and how to move from knowledge to wisdom, creating the discernment to transform you.

Inside a recent episode

#371: How I Stopped Living Out of the Worst Thing That Happened to Me

Published 5 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I'm going to explain that in a minute because I think the world and the movement toward biohacking, toward finding the next fix and trying to get the health space to save you is actually never going to work. Like the health space ultimately cannot save you. And as frustrating as that might sound, I also think there's a lot of freedom to say like we can use the health space to help us. But ultimately it comes back to us helping ourselves, like us wanting to be well, us wanting our relationships to work, us wanting to find joy in life. Like none of those things are going to be found in the next thing or these big ideas or arriving at a place the world has told you is going to bring you all the things that you want. […]
