• HELLO FUTURE: Guardians of the Next Frontier
    Jan 13 2026

    Kevin Cirilli sits down with Damon Feltman, newly named incoming CEO of the Space Force Association, at the Space Power Conference in Orlando.

    Fresh off his appointment, Feltman pulls back the curtain on what the U.S. Space Force actually does — and why it matters far beyond rockets and satellites. From the handful of 20-somethings quietly running the world’s GPS system, to the way space underpins banking, communications, weather, national defense, and daily life, this conversation reframes space as the invisible infrastructure of modern civilization.

    Kevin and Feltman explore how Guardians are trained for immense responsibility, how virtual and augmented reality are reshaping military readiness, and why space has become the next great arena for AI, cloud computing, energy, and economic competition. They also dig into the global stakes: China’s ambitions in space, the battle over norms and governance beyond Earth, and why protecting space is inseparable from protecting the future of liberal democracy.

    This episode is a rare inside look at a six-year-old service shaping the next industrial revolution — and a reminder that when we talk about the future, we’re really talking about space.

  • HELLO FUTURE: Meet Your AI Twin: The Little Digital You That Helps You Stay Healthy
    Jan 2 2026

    Kevin Cirilli hops on the Magic School Bus of the future with Terry Poon to explore one of the coolest ideas in medicine: a digital twin — a tiny computer version of you that lives in your phone and learns everything about your body. This AI twin watches your steps, your sleep, your snacks, your stress, and even how your body reacts to certain foods. Then it talks to you like a super-smart helper that says, “Hey, if you eat this, your blood sugar will be happy,” or “Time to move a little!” Kevin and Terry break down how this mini-you can predict what meals are good for you, help you make choices that keep you strong, and even talk to your doctor so you don’t have to. It’s science fiction that’s already real — an AI friend made just for your body.

  • HELLO FUTURE: NEW YEAR, NEW TECH — Using AI to Actually Stick to Your 2026 Fitness Plan
    Dec 29 2025

    New Year’s resolutions fail for one reason: humans are terrible at long-term consistency. Dr. Ted Vickey — who spent years managing the fitness and wellness needs of the President’s Executive Office — returns to explain how artificial intelligence can finally change that. Based on strategies he outlines in his new book, The Fitness Professional’s Guide to ChatGPT, Vickey shows how anyone can use AI to build smarter training plans, track progress more accurately, and stay accountable well past January. From personalized workout scripts to nutrition coaching to real-time behavioral nudges, this episode is a practical guide to using AI to make 2026 the first year your fitness goals actually stick.

  • HELLO FUTURE: A New Era for American Railroads?
    Dec 24 2025

    Kevin Cirilli talks with rail economist Dr. Michael F. Gorman about America’s first coast-to-coast railroad — the historic merger of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. The new 50,000-mile system promises faster supply chains, cheaper shipping, and fewer trucks clogging highways, raising hopes for lower emissions and a more competitive U.S. economy. But it also sparks big questions about consolidation, labor, and whether a 19th-century invention can truly reinvent itself in the age of AI and automation. A sharp, forward-looking conversation about whether this mega-merger is the next chapter in American infrastructure — or just the latest power play.

  • HELLO FUTURE: What if your doctor could make a digital copy of you?
    Dec 23 2025

    In this episode, host Kevin Cirilli sits down with Terry Poon, CTO and Co-Founder of Twin Health, to explore how AI is being used to create digital models of a person’s metabolic health that update in real time. Twin Health combines data from continuous glucose monitors, activity and sleep trackers, lab results, and daily nutrition to build a personalized picture of how the body responds throughout the day.

    Kevin and Terry break down how these digital models help people with metabolic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes understand which foods keep their blood sugar steady, how sleep influences their metabolism, and when movement makes the biggest impact. They also explain how clinicians use these insights to tailor care plans and support patients in reducing medication use when appropriate.

    This episode looks ahead to a future where healthcare becomes more proactive and personalized, guided by a digital model that helps people make informed decisions long before problems develop. It is a practical and forward-looking conversation about how continuous data and AI are reshaping everyday health.

  • HELLO FUTURE: Can Wetware Beat Silicon? The Race to Build Living Data Centers.
    Dec 22 2025

    Kevin Cirilli and Dr. Fred Jordan explore whether the next generation of AI will be powered not by chips — but by living neurons. They break down the global biocomputing push, from organoids that can learn tasks to Australian neurons playing Pong and U.S. labs using mini-brains to model Alzheimer’s. Dr. Jordan explains the biggest challenge ahead — organoids die without blood vessels — and why he believes future data centers could mix silicon with biology to unlock enormous efficiency gains. A sharp, provocative conversation on what happens when computers become alive enough to learn, adapt, and eventually… die.

  • HELLO FUTURE: The Beating Heart of the Internet
    Dec 19 2025

    What if the cloud wasn’t actually… in the clouds?

    Hidden behind unmarked doors and miles of fiber cable, massive data centers are quietly powering everything—your favorite shows, your AI assistant, even this very episode. These are the digital cities of the future: sprawling, humming ecosystems where heat, light, and algorithms collide.

    In this episode, we crack open the mystery of how data centers keep our world running—and explore the wild innovations reshaping them. From underwater servers cooled by the ocean, to desert complexes powered entirely by the sun, to AI systems that optimize themselves in real time, the next generation of data centers are as much about sustainability as speed.

    But here’s the twist: as our digital appetite grows, can these supermachines keep up—without overheating the planet?

    Join us as we plug into the hidden infrastructure of the future, meet the architects designing the world’s most efficient “brains,” and discover why the cloud’s real story is anything but invisible. ☁️⚡

    Because the future runs on data—and data needs a home.
