The Un-Machine Collective
To all of you driven, passionately curious souls out there — those who refuse to sit still and who keep themselves on their toes, always onto something, incubating ideas and discovering ways to have an impact.
This is for you.
The instantaneous, frictionless convenience of our digital lives is now challenging our human ability to think critically, act purposefully and connect meaningfully.
To support you in the journey to more sustainable humanity, we have created a collective unlike any other: Un-Machine Yourself.
Hatch Invites: The Human Advantage with Salmaan Sana
Everyone is talking about AI right now. Some people are terrified it will take their jobs, while others claim it is the single greatest opportunity in human history. Host Joris Van Heukelom sits down with Salmaan Sana to strip away the hype and talk about what is actually happening to us as we rely more on technology.
When we let machines draft our writing, summarize our thoughts, or manage our schedules, we run a real risk. Skills act like muscles. If you stop using them, they fade. Salmaan shares how he caught himself losing his personal voice after overusing AI tools, leading him back to a simple notebook and pen to protect his creative edge.
This conversation shifts the focus away from tech hype and back toward natural intelligence. Joris and Salmaan talk through what it takes to stay grounded. They look at finding room to sit with uncomfortable problems, and protecting key human capabilities like empathy, original judgment, and real curiosity. Listen in for an unpolished conversation on how to use AI wisely without giving away your agency.

Hatch Invites: Dr Skyla Herod, PhD
Hatch Invites is a remote and in-person platform that explores the transformative power of humanized leadership.
Hosted by Joris van Heukelom, a researcher and partner at Hatch, Hatch Invites features interviews with leaders from all industries and walks of life. Guests discuss their personal leadership journeys, the elements of humanized leadership they believe are crucial for success, and how to build and lead human-centered organizations.
Our guest, Skyla Herod, a behavioral neuroscientist, shares her expertise on how our brains work and how we can use this knowledge to make better decisions.
Here are three key takeaways from the podcast:
- Our brains are wired to prioritize safety and efficiency, often leading to irrational decisions.
- We can train our brains to become more rational by understanding how neural networks and biases work.
- By taking more time for decisions, breathing through our initial impulses, and reflecting on our values, we can make more conscious choices.
