As the world shifts rapidly with the rise of AI, many wonder what it truly means to thrive in the future of work. According to futurist, best-selling author, and global speaker John Sanei, the answer lies not in competing with machines but in cultivating the qualities that make us uniquely human: adaptability, curiosity, and conscious influence.

John is recognized as the World's Top 5 Futurist, a 6x best-selling author, and keynote speaker on human-AI dynamics and the Adaptable Intelligence™️ Framework . He's also the co-host of the 2x award-winning podcast The Expansive and serves on the faculty at Singularity University and Duke Corporate Education.

As our guest in Episode 241 of The Mindset Game® podcast, John shares:

• How history has moved from physicality (agriculture) to IQ (industrial age), and why AI is now surpassing human IQ — making AQ (adaptability quotient) the most critical human skill for the future
• Why influence in the attention economy requires authenticity, presence, and strong personal power dynamics
• How to shift awareness at pace in order to stay relevant, spot new opportunities, and consciously shape the future
