About this listen

Welcome to Humanity First — Meet the first AI fact-checking co-host of a podcast series Graice and follow along on the unfiltered, real-time journey of founders building an AI startup from scratch… with a twist. We’re not just talking about the future — we’re creating it. And we’ve built our own AI co-host to fact-check us live, challenge our takes, and keep us (and you) honest. This podcast is part startup diary, part tech deep-dive, and all heart. We explore what it means to stay human in a world that’s being rewritten by artificial intelligence — from ethics and innovation to late-night breakthroughs and existential questions. If you’re into bold ideas, raw convos, and a front-row seat to the next wave of tech, you’re in the right place. The revolution is real. And it talks back.Humanity First Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Social Sciences

    May 27 2025

    In this bold and emotional episode of Humanity First, Drew and Cesar dive deep into the state of education in America, the transformative potential of AI in classrooms, and the painful truths our current system fails to teach. From personalized learning and project-based classrooms to the hidden history of Black Wall Street and systemic inequities, this episode pushes the boundaries of what’s typically discussed on a podcast.

    • Why the U.S. education system is outdated and inequitable
    • How AI can personalize learning and empower underserved communities
    • The shame, silence, and suppression of real American history
    • Why teaching truth is necessary for healing, unity, and change
    • A raw look at shame, identity, and uncomfortable growth


    ✨ Topics:

    AI in education | Personalized learning | Public school inequality | Historical erasure | White guilt vs. awareness | LGBTQ+ and Black history | Conscious reform


    This episode is more than a conversation — it’s a call to awaken, reflect, and rebuild.

  • Chasing Consciousness: AI, Ayahuasca, and Awakening the Human Spirit
    May 20 2025

    In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode of Humanity First, Cesar and Drew dive into the layered meaning of consciousness—from childhood self-awareness to AI’s simulated cognition. Drew opens up about his transformative journey through psilocybin and ayahuasca, revealing how these experiences helped him manage ADHD and reconnect with his inner self. The duo also explores whether AI could ever attain consciousness, the role of the soul, and how technology might ironically help us return to a more intentional, human-centered life. Featuring fact-checks and dry humor from their AI co-host Graice, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it means to be awake in the age of artificial intelligence.
