My IT Supervisor job was replaced by AI in April. What I have come to realize is that after 30 years in IT I had nothing to show for it other than a 401k and some stocks. What I had built was all just 1’s and 0’s and only exists in a digital world. My next adventure will be in woodworking where I can build furniture that will live in a real world and be passed along as a family heirloom.

I told my childhood friend we need to watch podcasts together instead of movies and this is the first one we picked to stream and discuss together. Bring your friends and family on board for these discussions, people! We can’t sit here nodding all alone.

I'm a retired educator. I found that, over time, students became more and more comfortable with technology. But as this happened, they became less comfortable with the real world, which includes the ability to manage their own emotions. I grew up bilingual but I was always more comfortable speaking English. It is like that now. Kids are bilingual between human and technology. We need to change education so that kids are more comfortable being human because currently it's heading the other way. Technology is seducing our brains.

I absolutely LOVE Simon. This was such an incredible conversation, and it’s nice to know that my thoughts align with his. I was basically validated by Simon Sinek. I lost my job as a UI/UX Designer in November, so I decided to return to school and pursue a career in psychology, a passion of mine that has always been a part of me. I want to make a difference in someone’s life and not just sit behind a computer. I want to leave a legacy of love and compassion.

I started a garden during Covid, and 5 years later, I'm still gardening. I'm not good at it, but I'm still doing it.

I completely walk around my home internally expressing gratitude. When I fold laundry, the moment I’m frustrated in the chore I mentally reinforce gratitude for my family having clothes. When I clean my home I internally express gratitude for having a home to clean. This has evolved from a conscious act to an unconscious one. It all now happens automatically and over the years our wants and needs have not only been met, but exceeded. I believe the universe knows where appreciation lies and is attracted like a magnet. Love this approach.

This guys is spitting facts that I've learned over the course of 40 years of failing miserably, and learning from those failures. I encourage my children to just try things and embrace their failures as well. People think that it's peculiar that I do not have iPhones or iPads for my kids. It's because I want them to have an analog experience where they build organic relationships and figure things out for themselves.
@arnoldmarcus3634
This conversation has a lot of gems. There is a lot of depth that can be unpacked on multiple topics.
@joshualieberman138
As someone who has almost died twice, his point on gratitude is spot on. Too many people spend their life focused on what they don't have or how they are being screwed, but never stop to look at the blessings in their life. It is amazing how your perspective on life changes when you are thankful for each new day and everything that comes with it.

So many parts of this conversation actually made me tear up with the recognition that these are things we forget about life and purpose. I think I will listen to this at least every couple of months just to remember how simple yet profound life can and should be.

The lack of empathy I've experienced in some social interactions is frightening. I work in the aviation industry and whenever there's a medical emergency, you'd be surprised how often people don't care or do not acknowledge that something serious is happening to someone around them.

My son recently asked me “since AI is going to change how we work what should I learn to be indispensable.” I told him human beings are always going to need another human to talk to, learn how to talk and empathize with people and you’ll do fine.

Another skill that we as humans have (mostly) lost is: FOCUS. We are so fractured when it comes to our attention and focus.
@cristinaionescu4188
I think it would be a good ideea if you included Simin Sinek in the next AI debate, to also bring a human purpose and relationships stakeholder to the table.
@dietzyfly
What I am seeing now is how fearful my younger friends seem to be......they are afraid to try so many things. I'm a 57 year old woman who has traveled the world---often solo---for much of my life. I have hiked and camped alone many, many times as well. Have I been afraid sometimes? Yes. But it helped me grow tremendously. I always remember what the great Georgia O'Keefe once said, "I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life---and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do." Can it be scary? Hell, yes. But the rewards of pushing edges, adventure, and living in the real world, are so, so many. These are the human experiences that AI will never replace.

How nobody talks about a book The Millionaire Circuit, can’t believe how underrated it is. That book has some life changing knowledge about wealth.

Simon Sinek, is literally one of the humans I see again and again and he manages to amaze me again and again.
@TheMotoRockers
Simon seems to have tapped into the deeper psychological issues that have plagued our workplace and relationships that very few have been willing to talk about. Loved you having this guest on!
@xavmaxime
This one hit really deep, amazing stuff from Simon. Here is what helped me stay human in an age that's trying to automate everything: 1. I started having real and deep conversations once again. Eye contact, listening without waiting to reply. It's crazy how much people open up when you're actually present. 2. I stopped numbing boredom with endless scrolling and picked up books that push my mindset instead. The ones from Mindbloomery hit different, especially to build confidence and emotional connection 3. I learned to sit with discomfort instead of running from it. That space is where growth happens, and no AI can replicate it. 4. Picking up Power of Assertiveness by Caden Rivers helped me to stop sugarcoating everything. Now I say what I mean, calmly and people take me more seriously. 5. Lastly, I stopped treating emotions like glitches. Feeling stuff fully made me more grounded, less reactive. It's honestly a strength, not a flaw. Tech is cool, but nothing replaces real presence. Keep your human edge sharp :)
