The smarter AI gets, the more your humanity matters. MIT engineer, 13-time founder, and self-described "recovering hedge fund guy" Ted Yang joins Zivile to flip the AI conversation on its head - away from fear and job loss, toward using it as a tool to perform, think, and live better.

We talk about what's truly worth optimizing (and what isn't), how Ted used AI to write his book Ageless Peak Performance, why polished writing now reads as "fake," the idea that you can stay at your peak longer with the right tools, and why face-to-face connection is still the most underrated technology we have.
