Welcome To Authentic AI
5d ago01:16:45Tap to summarizeFor the first time, you can ask Cal what you want to know about asking better questions. About your next podcast. A business move. A personal situation. Cal will get back to you personally with the help of AI. AI Cal isn't trained on the internet. It's trained on Cal. On five decades of conversations with U.S. presidents, world leaders like Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev, Muhammad Ali, Serena Williams, Robert De Niro, Kobe Bryant, and thousands of others who've shaped how he thinks about questions, trust, and listening. The man who made it possible is Rob LoCascio. Rob built the first web chat and turned it into a company worth $3.5 billion. After outside investors squeezed him out, his response was to build something entirely new: UARE.ai. You'll hear Rob's story in this episode and understand why it gripped Cal as he prepares to become a grandfather. UARE.ai is how he plans to pass on what he knows, long after he's gone. You can have access to it now at UARE.ai.

You Are Stronger Than Steel
2w ago00:53:36Tap to summarizeThe change in front of all of us right now may be the most radical humans have ever faced. Who do you want guiding you through it? Courtney Harrison would be an intriguing choice. She's a rare breed of HR leader — one who doesn't just advise organizations on change, but who puts people inside the experience of it and shows them they're capable of far more than they believed. She once strapped corporate leaders into Olympic bobsleds hurtling at 90 miles an hour while gravity made their bodies feel four times as heavy. And then there's the match she and her colleague, Alicia Mandel. arranged between a group of high-flying CEOs and the USA Olympic women's volleyball team — with a dramatic twist that made the CEOs see themselves in a new light. This episode is all about stepping through fear and navigating the change we're seeing right now. Courtney is talking straight to you . . . and everyone else.

The AI Teaching Template
3w ago00:33:56Tap to summarizeEvery teacher struggling with AI use in the classroom needs to hear this episode. Jamie Metzl has a Ph.D. from Oxford, a law degree from Harvard, and has run 60 marathons. He spent nine years writing his first book. When he sat down to co-write The AI Ten Commandments with GPT-5 he didn't surrender his thinking, creativity or his soul. Jamie doubled down by documenting the process. It's the first major published book to list a human and an AI as co-authors. Steve Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple, summed it up like this: "If you care about the future, read this book." To which I'll add: It not only takes the best from our collective past. It draws a roadmap for students to get the most out of themselves by working with AI instead of hiding behind it. Teachers can use the process to see how and what students have learned. Please pass this podcast and Jamie's book on to every teacher you know. And students, too.

Your Job Just Got Bigger. So Did You.
Jun 900:58:16Tap to summarizeCharles Gaudet has coached thousands of CEOs over the years. Yahoo Finance has called him "The CEO Whisperer." In this episode, Cal asks him to turn what he's learned toward a big question: What can everybody do to protect their jobs in the age of AI? Charles has some answers. The employees who thrive will be the ones who use AI to make themselves more valuable by leveling up their productivity. Here's the best part. To do so, you don't need the right answers. You just need to come up with the right questions.

YOUR BRAIN. YOUR GUT. YOUR EDGE.
Jun 200:49:31Tap to summarizeGraduation stages across America erupted in boos this spring when AI came up. That anxiety isn't just for new grads. It's felt by anyone wondering whether they still have a place in a world being reshaped by technology. This episode of Big Questions: The Future of Work tackles that fear head-on. Cal brings in Jay Samit — former Independent Vice Chairman of Deloitte Digital and bestselling author of Disrupt You, Future Proofing You, and most recently Second Act Advantage — for a conversation that's less about artificial intelligence and more about human intelligence: how to think, adapt, and find your edge no matter where you are in life or career. And that's not all, there's a travel story from our sponsor, Moments, by LuxuryConciergeTravel.com that starts like a Chevy Chase National Lampoon film and ends up with real life smiles. If you're walking across a graduation stage, fearful of a "job-pocalypse" in midlife or wondering what your next chapter looks like in retirement, this episode will give you a lift.

Big Questions: The Future Of Work
May 2500:53:24Tap to summarizeIn an age when AI has everyone asking what's next for humans, Cal goes looking for answers. He finds them in some unexpected places. A five-year-old girl who walked through a Transylvanian forest to save her sister's life. A New York publicist who followed a hunch to Charlotte and built something nobody had ever seen before. And a guy with a borrowed bicycle who turned a single crazy idea into a quarter-century movement that has raised $31 million for cancer victims. These aren't tech stories. They're human ones. And the thing that connects them is that irreplaceable gut instinct that no algorithm can replicate. It just might be the most important skill you have right now. Big Questions: The Future of Work with Cal Fussman. Every Tuesday. Powered by Moments.

Where Grief Meets Promise
May 1800:07:47Tap to summarizeCal opens this deeply personal episode of Big Questions with a flood of remarkable medical breakthroughs. 3D-printed windpipes. A pancreatic cancer drug that doubles survival rates. Nanotechnology clearing toxic proteins from the body. And he explains why he's sharing them: to balance the grief of losing his friend Sally, a highly-ranked senior tennis player taken too soon by gallbladder cancer. Out of that grief, Cal finds promise. From a man who rode a bike for 24 straight hours 25 years ago who's gone on to raise $31 million for cancer patients. To a vision of the future where technology doesn't kill jobs — it creates them. This episode is exactly what Cal is promising as his podcast evolves toward the Future of Work. Sunshine. Even through difficult times. It'll be a Central Park for the soul. See you every Tuesday.

Old School Rules, New Age Tools.
May 1200:17:48Tap to summarizeA professor at an elite university noticed something alarming: every student's work was flawless . . . and nearly identical. All of it generated by AI. So she did the unthinkable (for the students, anyway). She banned devices and allowed only pen and paper. What happened next surprised everyone, including her students. But going Old School isn't the overall point of this episode. Cal uses this story to give a taste of the evolution of his podcast Big Questions: The Future of Work. In this episode, best-selling author Jamie Metzl describes how he used the work ethic he'd developed over decades to combine with the speed and scope of AI in the writing of his new book: The AI Ten Commandments. Meanwhile CEO coach Charles Gaudet predicts how we are close to a day when people will apply for jobs with AI at their side. Job applicants will soon hear the phrase BYOA. That's: Bring Your Own Agents. In both cases, this runway answers the question of how to get the best out of ourselves and AI together. With Old School values and New Age tools.

The Man Who Wanted to Live Forever . . . And The $3 AI That Might Let Him
May 500:44:56Tap to summarizeCal stumbles on a Chinese company offering to digitally resurrect the dead for three dollars. His first thought? Larry King would have loved this. In this episode, Cal sits down with Larry King Jr. to explore what it really means to preserve a life. The stories. The voice. The questions. From Larry Sr's relentless chase for immortality. To the Larry King Cardiac Foundation that literally saved hundreds of hearts. To the bobblehead-sized AI facsimile that might one day let your great-great- grandchildren hear your voice. It all adds up to a conversation about legacy, technology, and what we leave behind. Plus! The story of how Larry Zeiger became Larry King in ten minutes flat through a liquor ad and a door that was kicked down.
