George Zarkadakis is an Artificial Intelligence engineer, author of fiction + non-fiction books & plays, a science communicator, futurist, and a digital innovation professional. He also works with private and public organizations to re-imagine business and democratic institutions in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. He believes that we need a new Renaissance spirit to inspire us and guide people towards overcoming our shared problems. During our conversation we focus mainly on his book "In Our Own Image" where he dives into the history of how we understand ourselves and think about technology. With my background in Mentalism, I was fascinated by the way that his thinking drifted into similar territories that I've been exploring for decades. I really enjoyed the resulting conversation!

In 1988, a young, mid-level employee named Art Bell pitched a novel concept—a television channel focused on just one thing: comedy—to the chairman of HBO, Michael Fuchs. Vinnie Favale came on board shortly after and, together with a team of seasoned cable network executives, they launched The Comedy Channel on November 15th, 1989. The station would later merge with MTV’s competing comedy network, HA!, and Comedy Central was born. In our conversation we talk about how he pitched the show, the hardest lessons he learned early on, and how he knew it was time to move on. Be sure to read his book that shares more behind the scenes stories.

The first guest of the show shares his story of becoming a NAVY SEAL, the power of pressure over time, and how he developed his wildly effective un-program to help returning vets. Micah started Heroes and Horses in 2014 after realizing that, despite the thousands of PTSD-related nonprofits, and the billions spent every year, the statistics on veteran suicide and addiction was growing rapidly. In response to these staggering statistics, Micah created a veteran nonprofit with programming that was unlike anything else out there. His work with veterans has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Men's Journal, Tedx, YETIs 180 Out, Executive Producer of the 500 Mile Project, Ben Shapiro, Laura Ingraham, and many other national media outlets. When Micah isn't working, traveling, or spearfishing off the coast of a foreign land he is on a small ranch with his wife, Mackenzie and their four children.
