In today’s episode, Holly’s back on the go—and Daniel comes in hot with a passionate response to Seth Godin’s latest post about AI and innovation. Inspired by “After the Shortcuts,” they tackle the tension between fear and progress in this pivotal cultural moment.
Together, they explore:
Why the early AI fear-mongering—especially in education—is shortsighted
How “learning how to learn” is the true superpower of the next generation
The neuroscience of why change literally feels like pain
What educators (and all of us) must do to evolve with—not retreat from—new tech
And how to trade fear for insatiable curiosity
Plus, Daniel throws down a challenge for brands that build their identity on fear, Holly coins a new phrase (👀 What’s Your Change Tolerance?), and the duo ends with a reminder: The future belongs to those brave enough to go first.
