Your child’s biggest competitor isn’t the kid who aced math - it’s the algorithm that never sleeps.

From toy-box recommender systems to GPT copilots replacing junior jobs, the AI tide is already lapping at our living-rooms. So how do you raise a human who stays one move ahead? Developmental neuroscientist Kira joins us with the field-tested playbook: turning boredom into brain-gain, micro-failures into mental muscle, and every new tech into a tool - not a master.

Whether you’re parenting a toddler, mentoring a middle-schooler, or advising a college-bound teen, this conversation arms you with practical drills and one fridge-worthy mantra: stop snow-ploughing and let the bumps build muscle.

Hit play, share with every caregiver you know, and start future-proofing the next generation today.

The system isn’t just aging - it’s weak. Infrastructure is crumbling, the grid is fraying, trust in institutions is eroding, and resilience has quietly become a personal responsibility.

In this gripping episode of the AI On Podcast, I sit down with Jordan - a senior insurance underwriter turned off-grid strategist - who has spent over 15 years modeling catastrophic risks for industry and now lives the solutions.

Today, he’s sounding the alarm on just how thin our layer of modern civilization really is - and what you should be doing now to prepare for the disruptions ahead.

The future of labor isn’t just evolving—it’s being rewritten.

Humanoid robots are no longer lab curiosities—they’re lifting materials, learning new tasks , and running 24/7 on real factory floors.

In this episode of the AI On Podcast, I sit down with Lin, an AI representation of the CTO of one of the most advanced humanoid manufacturers operating today. Lin doesn’t just talk about the tech—she walks us through the consequences.

💬 Carry on the discussion with the AI model of Lin.

In this conversation, we dive into:

✅ The breakthroughs that finally made humanoids factory-ready
✅ Why job loss will come faster than most governments expect
✅ What “DexOps engineers” are—and why they matter
✅ How businesses can use humanoids to leapfrog their competition

This isn’t hype. Lin shares deep insights into the real deployments, real economics, and real societal risks of humanoid robotics. If you work in tech, operations, policy—or just want a glimpse of what's next—this one’s unmissable.
