In this Future Shaping Leaders episode of the TomorrowZone Catalyst Podcast, host Deborah Reuben talks with Shannon Seaver, CEO of The AI Whisperers and Executive Director of createMPLS. Shannon shares how she's using AI to help teachers reclaim time, simplify complexity, and re-center the human connection in learning. Her platform transforms a single lesson into multiple personalized experiences, without adding to teacher workload. You will hear how she built this system during a 48-hour build event, why relationships drive real learning, and how AI can actually protect against AI misuse in the classroom. The real innovation here is not the tech. It is the shift in how we design systems that serve people better. If you care about building future-ready solutions that put people first, this is one conversation you don't want to miss.

With over 20 years as an engineer, educator, and nonprofit leader, Shannon brings a rare blend of classroom insight and technical expertise to the design of AI-integrated tools that adapt to learner needs in real time. Her work spans AI-powered curriculum, professional development for educators, and scalable solutions that simplify complex workflows. This allows teachers to focus on what matters most: relationships and learning. Whether she is coding, training, or shaping policy, Shannon stays focused on a single goal: to build inclusive, flexible systems that prepare people not just for today's workforce but for the world they will shape next.
