About this listen

The show for employers, educators, and future-minded parents who know that leadership starts long before a résumé is written. Every week Dr. Serge Antonie, founder of MENA Kids™, dives into the neuroscience, economics, and real-world case studies that prove a bold truth: in an AI-driven world, average effort will be automated, but the habits wired before age 7 will compound for life.


What you’ll hear:

  • 10-minute deep dives on the skills algorithms can’t steal—systems thinking, bilingual agility, executive function.
  • ROI breakdowns that show why on-site 0-6 childcare slashes turnover, cuts Scope-3 CO₂, and smashes Vision 2030 KPIs.
  • Fast Q&As and mini-workshops you can try at home or in the boardroom.
  • Guest chats with CHROs, neuroscientists, and educators shaping tomorrow’s talent pipeline.


If you’re ready to swap babysitting for a talent engine and future-proof your people from the crib up, hit follow.


School ready. Life ready. Future-proof.

    SE1, EP2: In the Age of AI, Mediocrity Is a Dead End
    Jul 5 2025

    Automation is devouring routine work at record speed: chatbots handle service queues, large-language models draft reports in seconds, and algorithms schedule operating rooms more efficiently than humans. In this short episode, I explain why the average, the obedient, and the “good-enough” will be automated out of relevance—and how the shift puts unprecedented weight on the first six years of life.

    You’ll learn:

    • WEF and Goldman Sachs numbers that prove “average” is disappearing.
    • How a 0-6 continuum wires critical thinking, adaptive calm, and systems literacy before Grade 1.
    • Three wake-up questions every CHRO should ask right now to future-proof the talent pipeline.

    Whether you’re an HR leader, university dean, or parent who refuses to raise a child for yesterday’s job market, this episode gives you the evidence and language to act before AI does.

    In this episode, I describe the problem we will be encountering if we don't act now. The systems that are in place will simply not develop employees that will be of any use to the companies of the future.
