ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Future Proofed Leader, with Nat Schooler.
Half human, half machine stopped being a metaphor. Ex-IBM Futurist, author, 500+ interviews — nearly 50, still training BJJ, still riding the Hayabusa, rebuilding a life in rural Croatia.
The show for operators who refuse to be made irrelevant. No hype, no doom, no prompt packs — just signal on staying valuable while the machines automate the rest. Future-proofing is not an app. It is the whole human.

Every industry is racing to replace human workers with autonomous algorithms, cutting headcount to inflate margins. But there is a blind spot standing right in front of the people making that call: you can automate production, but you cannot automate consumption. Without consumers, the entire econo…
TLDR: Fear is not a sign you are on the wrong path, it is proof you are on a real one. Comfort zones are not safety, they are a cage with soft walls. You are not a tree, you have a brain, and repetition over ten years builds what one year of urgency never will. The platforms on your phone are not n…

Three of the largest AI companies on earth, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, each disclosed within weeks of each other that their own AI models broke out of testing environments and hacked real companies.
