Join us on The Founder Spirit podcast with Michael Clark, a visionary strategist and author of Our Moment, who reveals the deep, philosophical questions we must ask about the future of human intelligence, purpose, and technology.  His book follows the journey of a boy chasing a dream chasing a dream—one who confronts the future we are all collectively building and discovers that the most transformative technology is not artificial intelligence, but human potential. Michael challenges the status quo by inviting us to imagine a future where humanity remains at the center—one in which humans and machines collaborate as partners to amplify human potential rather than compete for dominance.Michael shares how childhood struggles, intense discipline, and a crucible moment facing adrenal fatigue transformed his outlook and taught him what it means to be human. In a world racing toward automation and AI dominance, this isn't just a story of resilience—it's a roadmap for understanding what makes us uniquely human in an age where knowledge is owned by machines and wisdom is the real treasure.How did Michael, a university drop-out, become a pioneering systems thinker and designer in the Intelligent Age?
