In this episode I’m joined by one of the most brilliant scientists, leaders, and visionaries I know — Dr. Carl Lejuez, Provost of Stony Brook University. He is a former clinical psychology mentor of mine who had a huge impact on my career and taught me a lot about leadership. We explore AI in education, self-honesty, and leadership.

In this episode, I’m hosting one of the authors of the awesome book The AI Con, Dr. Emily M. Bender. We reflect on how chatbots exploit our natural language processing, the environmental costs of large language models, and how to stay connected with our humanity even with the rise of this new technology.

In this episode, I'm once again joined by Dr. Nancy Wadsworth, who is a Professor Emerita of Political Science at the University of Denver.

In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend and mentor, Dr Colleen Byrne. She's a professor over at University of Maryland College Park, and she specializes in ethics, in psychology. She's the person I go to, and I've gone to for years with any kind of ethical question. We're talking openly about AI & ethics to help explore this emerging technology and how people can use it thoughtfully and intentionally for mental health needs—without giving away your agency, or connection to your own self trust and inner voice.

Lately, I’ve been facing an existential crisis around being a writer and artist—what it means to create in a world that doesn’t seem to value art, particularly with the rise of AI. The path can feel lonely and uncertain. To explore this, I invited artist Deng Ming-Dao to offer his perspective.

In this conversation, we explore how to find your voice as an artist. Ming-Dao reminds us that art is not about sales, fame, or approval—it’s about being true to your inner voice and creating simply because your soul calls you to.
