AI is evolving faster than most of us can comprehend. And for many people, it's creating a very real fear about the future. If machines can outthink us and eventually outwork us, what does that mean for our careers, our purpose, and even our identity? Perhaps an even better question is: what does it mean to be human in the age of AI? Today, I'm joined by Jeff Burningham. Jeff is an entrepreneur, investor, and author who has built more than a dozen companies valued at over a billion dollars and recently released his powerful new book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI. Unlike most conversations about AI that focus on productivity, efficiency, or making more money, Jeff explores something much deeper: how AI can actually help humanity reconnect with wisdom, presence, empathy, and the qualities that make us uniquely human. In our conversation, Jeff explains why AI is not just a technological disruption, but a spiritual challenge and a mirror reflecting humanity back to itself. We talk about fear, optimism, consciousness, emotional regulation, and why wisdom—not intelligence—may become the most valuable human trait moving forward. If you've felt uncertain or overwhelmed about where humanity is headed, this episode will challenge the way you think about both AI and yourself.

One of the biggest challenges parents face today is creating a real connection with their kids in a world where phones and screens dominate so much of their attention. And here's where it really hits home. We only have "18 summers to create lasting connections" with our kids before they become adults, so why not make the most of it? Today, I'm joined by two of my favorite people, Mike and Lindsay McCarthy. Mike and Lindsay are the co-authors of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families and the Miracle Morning for Parents and Families Playbook. Mike is also the CEO and co-founder of the Gobundance mastermind and co-created Fambundance with his wife, Lindsay. Together, they've spent more than a decade helping families create stronger relationships, healthier communication, and intentional family meetings and habits through events and their family legacy framework. In our conversation, we talk about the systems and values that have helped them create a deeply connected family culture, how intentional parenting evolves as your kids grow older, and why creating shared experiences and family traditions can shape your children long after they leave home.

The truth is, almost everyone struggles with procrastination. It keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns, convinces us to wait for the "perfect" time to take action, and gets in the way of what we truly want. Whether it's starting a business, improving your health, writing a book, or having a difficult conversation, procrastination often becomes a roadblock between who we are and who we want to become. Today, I'm joined by Jon Acuff. Jon is an 11-time NYT bestselling author, a top-100 INC keynote speaker, and has just released his newest book, Procrastination Proof. Jon has spent years studying mindset, perfectionism, and the habits that keep people from taking action to achieve their biggest goals. His ability to simplify complicated ideas into practical frameworks has helped millions of people create meaningful change in their personal and professional lives. In our conversation, Jon explains why procrastination isn't actually a character flaw or a sign of laziness, but a "solution" we use to avoid discomfort, fear, uncertainty, and criticism. We unpack the mindset patterns that keep people stuck, the hidden reasons why we procrastinate, and why so many people mistakenly believe they "work best under pressure." Jon also shares a 4-step framework that makes someone "procrastination proof," along with practical ways to overcome perfectionism and finally stop delaying the life you truly want. If you've ever felt stuck between your intentions and your actions, this episode will help you close that gap and start moving forward.

If you love your partner but still feel disconnected, misunderstood, or frustrated by recurring issues in your relationship or marriage, you're not alone. Today's episode is about bridging the gap between the relationship you have and the one you want. Today, I'm joined by my friends Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos, a married couple and master relationship coaches with over 30 years of combined experience helping people heal relationship wounds, break the cycles that keep showing up in their love lives, and build the kind of relationship most people have stopped believing is possible. Stefanos is the author of a powerful new book, Tuned In and Turned On, which offers a path to self-healing, deeper connection, and true love that lasts. Christine brings the feminine perspective and spiritual psychology, while Stefanos brings deep work around masculinity, trauma, and what he calls Sacred Union. In our conversation, we discussed why relationships can be so challenging, even when both people are committed to growth. Christine and Stefanos also explain why attempting to change your partner often creates more disconnection, how unmet childhood needs are projected onto your relationship, and why true repair matters more than avoiding conflict in the first place.

We are living in a world that is more digitally connected than ever, yet there are millions of people who are struggling with loneliness. Whether it's your marriage, friendships, or work, that lack of deep connection can quietly affect your overall health and happiness. Today, I'm joined by my friend Michael Trainer, who has a new book out called Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection. Michael is one of the most fascinating people I've ever met, and his work is centered around helping people create deeper, more aligned relationships in every area of life. From co-creating the Global Citizen Festival, which has helped raise over $40 billion to defeat extreme poverty, to studying human connection across cultures and the neuroscience behind it, Michael brings a unique blend of real-world experience and science-based insights. In our conversation, we discussed the loneliness epidemic and why so many people feel disconnected despite having greater access to communication than ever before. Michael shares what it means to create "resonance" in your relationships, how the people you surround yourself with directly influence your emotional and physical well-being, and practical ways to become someone who attracts and builds powerful, life-giving connections. We also explore how to identify the relationships that energize you versus the ones that drain you, and how taking intentional actions can completely transform the quality of your relationships and your life.
