Understanding What It Means to Be Human — with Rubén GonzálezWelcome to New World in the Making. In this episode, we are joined by Rubén González, an entrepreneur who left a corporate role at Amazon to explore a more purpose-driven life at the intersection of AI, culture, and personal growth.Rubén shares the emotional and philosophical journey of transitioning from the safety of structure to the unknowns of building something new. We explore what it means to be human in an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the importance of embracing failure, and how vulnerability becomes a source of strength in both entrepreneurship and life.This conversation dives into the deeper questions behind technological progress: What happens to human connection in a world optimized for efficiency? Can decentralization help align AI with long-term human values? And how do we navigate the growing tension between freedom and structure, purpose and performance? We also discuss the impact of AI on mental health, the evolving nature of work, the cultural shifts redefining success, and the need to ground innovation in curiosity, community, and consciousness.This episode is an invitation to reflect on the systems we’re building — and who we’re becoming in the process.Rubén González Medina - LinkedIn YouTube Channel Apple PodcastSubstackChapters00:00 Philosophical Reflections on Existence and Responsibility02:59 The Journey of Personal Growth and Values06:09 Navigating Purpose and Financial Stability09:08 Entrepreneurial Ventures and Embracing Failure11:56 The Role of AI in Modern Entrepreneurship15:09 Building Connections and Seizing Opportunities18:00 Curiosity and Continuous Learning20:54 Human Skills in the Age of AI23:56 The Risks and Ownership of AI27:07 Decentralization and the Future of AI30:09 Cultural and Economic Shifts in Society33:00 The Impact of Technology on Work and Society36:03 The Future of Work and Universal Basic Income39:14 Navigating Change and Consciousness41:57 Defining Success in a Changing World54:43 The Human Element in AI Development57:14 Exploring Consciousness and Humanity01:01:34 The Journey of Failure and Learning01:06:37 Validating Ideas Through Customer Feedback01:15:43 Navigating the Mental Health Crisis01:20:58 The Responsibility of Awareness01:22:30 Redefining Success and Freedom01:27:24 Transforming Workplaces for Fulfillment01:33:19 The Future of Business in a Changing World01:39:24 Envisioning a New World Together
