About this listen

Welcome to Humanity First — Meet the first AI fact-checking co-host of a podcast series Graice and follow along on the unfiltered, real-time journey of founders building an AI startup from scratch… with a twist. We’re not just talking about the future — we’re creating it. And we’ve built our own AI co-host to fact-check us live, challenge our takes, and keep us (and you) honest. This podcast is part startup diary, part tech deep-dive, and all heart. We explore what it means to stay human in a world that’s being rewritten by artificial intelligence — from ethics and innovation to late-night breakthroughs and existential questions. If you’re into bold ideas, raw convos, and a front-row seat to the next wave of tech, you’re in the right place. The revolution is real. And it talks back.Humanity First Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Social Sciences

  • From Startup to Surveillance: The Unfiltered Truth About AI in 2025
    Jul 29 2025

    Is AI the key to our success or the architect of our downfall? 🤯

    In this episode of Humanity First, we take you behind the scenes of our startup journey—from having ZERO coding experience to building a fully functional app in just one month using Google Gemini and other AI tools. We get real about the brutal process of trial and error, the power of pivoting fast, and what it really takes to build something from nothing.

    But this conversation goes deeper than just app development. We started with tech and ended up questioning everything:

    • Is technology destroying our ability to communicate? (We share a simple psychological trick that's a game-changer).
    • Are we conditioning our children to be less confident and more anxious?
    • The AI Pause Debate: Should we stop developing advanced AI, or is it already too late?
    • The terrifying reality of the Surveillance State (Atlanta is the #2 most watched city in the WORLD).
    • Why "loving like Jesus" and "flipping tables" might be the mindset we need for the future.

    This isn't just another tech podcast. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about where we're headed as a species and a call to action for every single person watching. If you don't fight for the future you want, someone else will build one for you.

    The time to wake up is NOW.

  • The AI Job Revolution: Displacement, Opportunity & Rebuilding America
    Jul 15 2025

    This isn’t just about jobs—it’s about reclaiming what makes us human.

    In this deeply honest episode of Humanity First, Drew and Cesar explore what happens after AI takes your job—and why that might be the beginning of something more meaningful.
    We dive into:

    • How to build your own AI agents and protect your career
    • Why job loss could be a doorway to rediscovering passion
    • How AI might help heal America, not just replace its labor
    • Robots in farms, restaurants, and courtrooms: Are we ready?
    • Can AI bring justice, equity, and opportunity to everyone—not just tech elites?

    And most importantly:

    🔥 “How do we make sure AI doesn’t repeat America’s mistakes… but helps us repair them?”
    💡 This conversation is for anyone feeling fear about the future, disillusioned by what America has become, or hopeful that this technology might help us build something better—for real people, not just profit.

  • Are We Ready for the AI Takeover?
    Jul 1 2025

    In this raw, unfiltered episode of Humanity First, Drew and Cesar dive deep into the chaos, questions, and urgency surrounding the rise of artificial intelligence. From OpenAI and Google outages to the growing dominance of multimodal agents, they explore what’s really happening behind the scenes — and what it means for your job, your privacy, and your purpose.


    They debate whether agentic systems are overhyped or inevitable, discuss potential legislation banning AI regulation, and question whether we’re on the verge of a major societal reshuffle. With Graice, their live AI co-host, dropping truth bombs and fact-checking in real-time, this episode takes you to the edge of the AI conversation — and asks the one question nobody wants to face:


    If AI replaces your job… who are you now?


    🔥 Topics include:

    – AI outages & Big Tech power plays

    – Ethics, bias & the need for equitable integration

    – Universal basic income & robot taxation

    – Redefining human purpose in a post-work world

    – Why we need to talk about AI now, not later


    Join the conversation and drop your thoughts in the comments. This is more than tech. This is the future of humanity.
