What if artificial intelligence isn't our biggest threat but our clearest reflection? In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, entrepreneur and venture capitalist Jeff Burningham, author of “The Last Book Written by a Human,” joins host Cody McLain to explore how AI mirrors our own consciousness, habits, and hidden fears.

Discover why chasing success can feel hollow, why wisdom instead of intelligence will define our future, and how we can become more human in the age of machines.

ℹ️ About the Guest

Jeff Burningham has spent his career investing in the future by launching businesses, backing entrepreneurs, and helping shape industries. But as artificial intelligence reshapes the world at unprecedented speed, he is asking a bigger question: What kind of future are we actually building?

His journey has taken him from boardrooms to political campaigns, and from the highs of entrepreneurial success to the depths of personal transformation. As a former Bishop leading a congregation of over 500 people, Jeff brings the heart of a spiritual leader to every arena he enters, whether in business, politics, or family life as a devoted husband, father of four, and proud grandfather.

His book, The Last Book Written by a Human, is a deeply personal exploration of the choices we face in the age of AI, as well as an invitation to embrace wisdom, connection, and real human evolution.

• Built and invested in hundreds of tech companies
• Ran for Governor of Utah, challenging the political status quo
• Explored consciousness, transformation, and the limits of human potential
• Advocates for a new way forward in a world increasingly shaped by AI

Jeff isn’t here to predict the future. He’s here to help shape it. And he believes that work starts with all of us.
