Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly capable of doing more than processing information. It can recognize patterns, interpret human behavior, influence decisions, and increasingly interact with the world in ways that resemble aspects of human cognition. In this episode, we dive into this complex subject with Rana Gujral, AI entrepreneur, CEO of Behavioral Signals, and author of the upcoming book The AI Instinct: The Future of AI and Human Decision-Making , releasing August 31, 2026. Rana brings a perspective shaped by years of working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, voice technology, and human behavior. His work explores how machines can interpret signals such as tone, emotion, intent, and risk — and what happens when these capabilities begin influencing the decisions people make… The conversation explores: How AI is changing the way humans make decisions. The relationship between artificial intelligence and human cognition. Wha...

Success can be a powerful motivator. But for people who have spent their lives chasing the next goal, achievement can eventually become its own source of pressure. In this episode, we discuss this important topic with Caleb Campbell, former NFL linebacker, West Point graduate, Army officer, keynote speaker, and author of the upcoming book Unstriving: 12 Lessons on Authentic Success From a Recovering Over-Achiever , releasing September 22. Caleb shares how a lifetime of pursuing achievement ultimately forced him to reconsider what success actually meant. The goals he worked so hard to reach didn't necessarily deliver the freedom or fulfillment he expected, leading him to explore a different approach — one focused less on constant striving and more on alignment, self-awareness, and intentional living… The conversation explores: Why achievement doesn't always lead to fulfillment. The mindset and identity of the chronic overachiever. How fear of failure can shape our de...

Healthcare has traditionally focused on treating problems after they arise. Keith Bozeman, the founder of MEDgevity , believes the model is shifting toward something more proactive: helping people understand, monitor, and improve their health before problems become more serious.

Founded from Keith’s own experience as a patient, MEDgevity was created around the idea that people need more than a doctor they see when they're sick — they need a team helping them stay healthy in the first place… Hit play to learn about: How longevity medicine is changing the traditional healthcare model. The importance of preventive and proactive healthcare. Why personalized health requires more than a single medical perspective. The roles of physicians, registered dietitians, and exercise scientists. How diagnostics such as bloodw...

In this episode, we connect with research scientist and C60 specialist Ken Swartz, known as “Ken the Scientist,” to explore Carbon 60 (C60), the science behind the molecule, and its growing presence in conversations around cellular health, oxidative stress, and longevity. Ken’s interest in C60 began while working on fusion reactor technology and researching the effects of radiation. His work introduced him to Buckminsterfullerene, a unique carbon molecule with properties that sparked his interest in its potential applications beyond the laboratory. What began as part of his scientific research eventually became the focus of his career. During this conversation, Ken breaks down what C60 is, how it interacts with free radicals, and why researchers have become interested in its possible relationship with oxidative stress and mitochondrial function… Join in now to explore: The science behind Carbon 60 and Buckminsterfullerene. How C60 interacts with free radicals and oxidative str...
