  • AI, Human Behavior, and the Future of Work with Colin MB Cooper

    AI, Human Behavior, and the Future of Work with Colin MB Cooper
    Jan 1 2026
    In this engaging conversation, Michael sits down with Colin MB Cooper to explore the intersection of human behavior, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Colin shares how his lifelong curiosity for technology began at age 13 when he disassembled his father’s computer, sparking a passion that now informs his work blending neuroscience and AI. Together, they reflect on decades of rapid technological change and the unique skillset Colin brings to understanding it. Declining Workforce Competencies in Younger Generations Michael and Colin discuss an emerging concern: the decline in critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity among young professionals entering the workforce. Drawing on Michael’s experience hiring over a thousand employees and Colin’s global hiring experience, they highlight a growing gap between what schools teach and what businesses require. Both note that increased reliance on LLMs may be accelerating this divide, raising important questions about the future of work and education. Technology Dependence and the Erosion of Critical Thinking The conversation turns to society’s increasing dependence on technology. Michael shares stories from his early career teaching new hires basic computer skills and even using games like Solitaire to enhance productivity. They discuss how global internet outages could disrupt daily life and why fostering critical thinking and curiosity is essential in today’s uncertain environment. AI’s Rapid Integration and Its Impact on the Workforce Colin outlines the challenges organizations face as AI outpaces human adaptation. In education, technology is moving faster than teachers can adjust, and in the corporate world, AI-first strategies are leading to hiring freezes and the automation of repetitive work. He emphasizes a human-centered AI model that increases capability rather than replacing people. Real examples from healthcare and customer service highlight how AI can elevate human performance. Colin encourages listeners to upskill using free AI courses from providers like Google and OpenAI. AI’s Transformational Potential in Healthcare Michael explores one of the most promising AI applications: healthcare. Drawing from his primary care leadership background, he discusses how clinicians spend excessive time on documentation rather than patient care. Colin agrees that AI could revolutionize healthcare workflows, lightening administrative burdens and improving patient outcomes, though both acknowledge the importance of safeguarding security and privacy. Technology Behaviors: From Customer Service Hacks to Alexa in Schools Michael shares a practical tip about selecting different language options to reduce customer service wait times, then recalls a story of students misusing Alexa devices to order products without permission. It’s a humorous yet telling example of how quickly technology becomes woven into daily life. Generational Differences in Adapting to Technology To close the episode, Michael and Colin reflect on how older generations developed strong problem-solving skills due to limited access to support in their early tech experiences, while younger generations depend more heavily on constant connectivity. They discuss the vulnerability of this dependency, highlighted by the recent Cloudflare outage. Colin emphasizes that while technology will keep evolving, adaptability and resilience will determine how well society keeps pace. Colin invites listeners to explore more of his work on his website and continue the conversation on the future of human capability in an AI-driven world. https://colinmbcooper.com/ Welcome to this episode, where we sit down with Colin Cooper—a globally recognized high-performance business expert, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist with over two decades of experience working with clients across 38 countries and hundreds of industries.

  • Deep Dive: 8 Ways to Reduce Stress in the Workplace

    Deep Dive: 8 Ways to Reduce Stress in the Workplace
    Dec 31 2025
    8 Ways to Reduce Stress in the Workplace

    Episode Summary Workplace stress steals joy, drains productivity, and harms overall well being. In this episode, we break down eight practical strategies employees and leaders can use to reduce stress, rebuild clarity, and create healthier work environments. If left unchecked, stress can impact performance, morale, and mental health, but the right habits and boundaries can change everything.

    The Hidden Cost of Workplace Stress

    Stress is one of the biggest barriers to engagement and performance. Millions of workdays are lost each year due to stress, anxiety, and depression. Tight deadlines, heavy workloads, and lack of support are often the biggest contributors. Ignoring stress hurts people and companies. Addressing it helps everyone thrive.

    8 Ways to Reduce Workplace Stress 1. Recognize the Early Signs

    Irritability, worry, trouble sleeping, shallow breathing, and trouble focusing are often the first signals. Understanding how stress shows up emotionally, physically, and behaviorally helps you catch it before it escalates.

    2. Identify the Source

    Is it workload? Expectations? A demanding boss? Interpersonal conflict? Clarity helps you respond more intentionally and set healthier boundaries.

    3. Set Clear Boundaries

    Boundaries communicate what is acceptable and sustainable. Whether it is availability, workload, or working hours, defining your limits reduces overload and protects your well being.

    4. Evaluate Life Outside of Work

    Your routines matter. Poor sleep, rushed mornings, and lack of recovery time amplify workplace stress. Incorporate activities that reset your nervous system like yoga, exercise, or quiet mornings.

    5. Practice Mindfulness

    Staying grounded in the present moment reduces anxiety about yesterday’s mistakes or tomorrow’s deadlines. Mindfulness, breathwork, and even aromatherapy can help calm the mind and increase clarity.

    6. Stay Connected

    Strong relationships act as a buffer against stress. Talking with trusted friends, colleagues, or family helps you problem solve, feel supported, and maintain perspective.

    7. Avoid Unhealthy Coping Habits

    Alcohol, junk food, caffeine overload, and smoking increase stress long term. Choose healthier outlets like movement, meditation, and nourishing routines to support your mental and physical health.

    8. Work Smarter, Not Harder

    Multitasking increases errors and stress. Focus on single tasking, prioritizing what matters most, and organizing your workload in a manageable way. Efficiency reduces pressure.

    Why Employers Should Care

    Healthy employees perform better. Organizations that prioritize well being experience higher morale, stronger retention, and greater productivity. Flexible work options, reasonable expectations, appreciation, and opportunities for connection all reduce workplace stress.

    Final Takeaway

    Stress does not have to dominate your work life. When employees understand the signals, identify the root causes, and take proactive steps to manage stress, everyone benefits. When leaders support this effort, workplace culture transforms. Reducing stress is possible – and it starts with awareness, boundaries, connection, and smarter working habits.
