The Nick Standlea Show explores one big question at a time—AI, learning, work, creativity, meaning—and follows it until something clicks.
These are long-form, thoughtful conversations with scientists, authors, founders, and operators. The goal isn’t hype or hot takes. It’s clarity.
In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the show focuses on what actually matters: how people think, learn, adapt, and stay valuable.
