Jeff Burningham explores what it means to remain human as artificial intelligence rapidly transforms how we live and work. An entrepreneur, investor, and author of The Last Book Written by a Human, Jeff explains why intelligence and wisdom are not the same thing – and why judgment, presence, intuition, relationships, and values may become even more important as machines grow smarter. He challenges entrepreneurs to use AI without outsourcing their thinking, questions our constant drive for optimization, and considers what genuine human flourishing looks like in an increasingly automated world. His message is timely: as machines become more intelligent, humans must become wiser.

Can a film about science both entertain and inspire meaningful change? In this episode of Wild Rivers Film Radio, host Bev Juday welcomes Dr. Kent Thornburg and Kelsey Mueller Wendt for a compelling conversation about the new documentary The 100 Year Effect. Together, they explore groundbreaking research revealing how the conditions we experience early in life can shape our health across a lifetime—and potentially influence the health of future generations. Dr. Thornburg and Kelsey share insights into the science behind the film, the challenge of transforming complex research into an engaging human story, and the implications for families, communities, and public policy. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful question: Can documentary storytelling help us understand the science, rethink how we approach lifelong health, and inspire meaningful change for generations to come?
