Jack Panda Speaks

Today in no particular order I talk about financial pressures, being at peace with the fact that you are doing your best, finding time & space for yourself in such a noisy world, and last but not least creating boundaries if working full time from home with your partner.

Yesterday's topic triggered some resistance and questions around AI and whether it would replace what it means to be human. But if humans have always been evolving, then what it means to be human must have always been evolving too right? Do we maybe get too attached to our personal experience of what it means to be human?

Feeling confused about what, when & how you should eat in today's conflicting & confusing world of information? Don't worry, AI will soon be retrieving your real time biochemical data, and based on that, it will be able to suggest the optimum food for you to consume in that given moment.

When I set out to do 365days of podcasting my intention was for it to be a commitment challenge for myself, and that's really it. I soon got lost in people's feedback, how the podcast should be structured, the number of listeners, reaching more listeners, getting somone to help edit and promote the episodes...and before I knew it the pressure I was putting on myself left me disinterested in continuing... Now I resume daily episodes with my initial intention!

Did you know that social media is rewiring your brain? Rewiring the way you perceive life and communicate with the world? Some people are warning us about this, although maybe it just be part of the transition towards transhumanism? Of course letting go of our human nature is no easy thing to do...

Sustainability is definitely not convenient for most of us, but is it practical? Today I go on a rant about how humans may not have the biological capacity to manage a global system sustainably, and that's where maybe AI comes in to save the day!

The lockdown has shown me that we are quite happy being at home thanks to the internet. The digital world allows us to feel connected and interact with the world without leaving our homes. Could the future be of physical confinement, but digital freedom?

It sounds like a beautiful idea to co-create a business with your loved one. And it is I can assure you, although today I talk about the ugly meltdown we had last week. Our romantic relationship had got lost in the business. I also talk about the consequences of not following your intuition.

Recently I had a session with a psychic and she said that my weak spot in business is marketing. I was so attached to being 100% authentic that I was against scheduling posts on social media. Consistency is key for brand awareness!

Today I talk to you from my car full of food as I head to the local food bank. The Sacred Food Mission has allowed us to raise funds and support many families during these tricky times. It has also shown us however, that helping others too much can also be counterproductive and cause unhealthy dependency. Sound familiar?
