What happens when a high-performing leader—someone wired for speed, scale, and big outcomes—gets forced to slow down? In this powerful interview, Kari Schneider sits down with American entrepreneur, engineer, and investor Jason Shipley, founder of Midwest Custom Engineering, to talk about leadership, resilience, and the inner game that keeps a team (and a family) thriving.

Jason shares how he’s building mission-driven engineering solutions that impact real life—from animal feed and pet food processing to emerging water technologies—and why culture is the true engine of sustainable growth. But this conversation goes deeper: Jason opens up about profound personal loss, the practices that helped him keep moving forward, and how consistency becomes a form of self-trust—especially when you don’t feel like you can.

If you’re a leader who moves fast, carries a lot, and wants to lead with more calm, clarity, and connection—this episode will meet you right where you are.

In this episode, Kari and Peter move beyond awareness and into consequence, exploring what the rapid acceleration of AI means for leadership, work, and how we find meaning in a changing world.

Peter shares what the next 3–10 years of AI development could realistically look like, including best- and worst-case scenarios, from job displacement and universal basic income to wealth concentration and global instability. They unpack why this moment is not just another technological shift, but a supply-side revolution that impacts every industry, everywhere, all at once.

They dive into:

Peter also reflects on how this shift has personally changed how he builds businesses, invests, raises his children, and thinks about the future in a world where knowledge is no longer scarce.

Key takeaway:

You may not have a choice about whether this shift is happening, but you do have a choice about how you engage, adapt, and lead while it unfolds.
