July is stacked. This month on The Human Protocol, hosted by Mykel Salomon, we're exploring a single question from five very different angles: as AI accelerates, how do we stay human and stay ahead?
The Human Protocol Podcast: Five Perspectives on Staying Human in the AI Era
The Lineup
Here's who's joining the conversation this month:
July 1st: Ben Albert (ME!!) (Owner, Balbert Marketing LLC | Host, Real Business Connections) on using AI to repurpose existing content into entirely new formats. Think newsletters, songs, even books. And he's tackling how to protect the human voice behind it all.
July 8th: James Garner (Head of AI and Data, Gleeds) on the rapid evolution of AI, the widening capability gap between machines and human understanding, and how organizations can prepare for a future of AI agents and physical AI systems.
July 15th: Blake Erickson (Co-Founder, Scaling.com | Co-Author, The Science of Scaling) on overcoming founder bottlenecks, building systems that scale, and leveraging AI for real growth.
July 22nd: Ryan Drumheller (Fractional CIO | Founder, Stellar Horn Group) on why successful AI adoption is a leadership challenge first. It's built on strategy, communication, and a human-centric approach.
July 29th: Ted Yang (Author | MIT Engineer | Entrepreneur | Former Finance Executive) on AI as a personal and professional co-pilot, and how adopting it strategically can unlock ageless peak performance.
The Throughline
The common thread across every conversation?
The goal isn't to replace human judgment, creativity, and leadership. It's to extend them.
What's Next
These conversations aren't about chasing the latest AI trend. They're about staying grounded while everything around us speeds up.
I'm excited to be a part of this!
