Most people are trying to piece their lives together in a hundred different places. A podcast for mental health. An app for fitness. A yoga class for their soul. It’s too much—and not enough. Mighty Pursuit is where it all connects—mind, body, and spirit. We create long-form conversations with scientists, celebrities, spiritual thinkers, and everyday people—exploring what it means to live well in a fragmented world. This is more than a podcast. It’s a space to reconnect the parts of life that were never meant to be separate. Because when they come back together, everything starts to make sense. Go deeper at mightypursuit.com

Nothing is going to impact your career more than AI. But what you’re about to hear could make or break whether it actually helps you or quietly destroys the very things that make you unique. Right now, two camps are forming, and both are pulling you in the wrong direction. One group is avoiding AI entirely, convinced it’ll dilute their talent. The other is using it constantly, outsourcing their thinking in the name of speed. But that shortcut is not neutral. It’s eroding your creativity and originality. And over the long term, it will negatively impact your brain and your career. That’s why we sat down with Dr. Srini Pillay, a Harvard neuroscientist, former faculty at Harvard Medical School, and one of the only voices exploring AI through the lens of brain science, creativity, and purpose. One could argue that neuroscientists are the most qualified people to talk about AI, because they deeply understand the technology and what it’s doing to the brain. In this episode, we explore: 1) What makes the human brain fundamentally different from AI 2) The long-term cost of avoiding AI — or using it the wrong way 3) How tools like ChatGPT as a creative co-pilot without losing your edge 4) The neuroscience of imagination and the Default Mode Network 5) How consciousness plays a role in your sense of calling Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 3:37 - The Average Person Is Diluting Their Brain with A.I. 12:56 - The Cost of Avoiding A.I.
