  • Resilience in the AI Dominant Future
    Nov 11 2025

    This podcast is based on the book "The Future-Proof Human: How to Thrive in the Age of AI, Chaos, and Change," authored by Bashir Ahmed and copyrighted in 2025. This book serves as a manual to help individuals navigate the rapid changes brought about by artificial intelligence and technological acceleration, rejecting the passive approach of fear and encouraging proactive reinvention and adaptability. The chapters structure a pathway to success by discussing topics such as overcoming the fear factor, the necessity of a fluid mindset (the "Pivot Loop"), and strategies for building future-proof wealth through digital assets and diverse networks. Ultimately, the text argues that while machines handle tasks, humans must focus on uniquely creative, empathetic, and meaning-making contributions to usher in a New Renaissance.
