Jeff Burningham: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI
After decades of chasing success as a tech entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and even a candidate for Utah governor, Jeff Burningham found himself questioning what it all meant.
When the governor’s race ended in 2020, Jeff finally had space to pause—and that pause changed everything. It led him to write The Last Book Written by a Human, a deeply personal reflection on consciousness, connection, and wisdom in an age increasingly defined by artificial intelligence.
Hear Jeff talk about:
What it was like to step back from chasing success and re-evaluate what matters
Why he believes AI is a mirror showing us who we are
The four stages he sees as part of every human and technological evolution: disruption, reflection, transformation, and evolution
Why slowing down might be the most human thing we can do
