| 6/23/26 | ![]() Surfing Through the AI Apocalypse with Jacob Ward | How do you stay grounded when technology is changing work faster than any of us can keep up with? In this episode, I sit down with journalist and CNN contributor Jacob Ward to talk about the emotional and psychological impact of living and working alongside increasingly powerful technology. Jacob shares why he believes the bigger threat isn’t just automation, but the way these systems shape your behavior, attention, and relationships at work. We talk about loneliness, agency, management, the pressure to keep producing, and what happens when more of our thinking gets handed over to machines.

| 6/18/26 | ![]() A Unicorn Tech Exec's Complicated Legacy of Childhood Trauma with Andy Johns | Can achievement become a coping mechanism?
