    "So how about if we put, an app, an AI model in that device that helps kids calm down when they arrive at school and just take a few minutes to calm themselves, to get themselves focused, to be able to attend and open themselves to the lesson."Our guest, George Corugedo, a visionary and a father of three, brings his penetrating insights on the seismic shifts happening right before our eyes. George peels back the layers on the ever-growing impact of technology in education and employment, discussing the value of adaptability, vision, and maintaining a growth mindset in the face of AI-induced disruptions that will shape the landscape of 2040 and beyond.With rich anecdotes from his own life, from childhood struggles due to developmental trauma and the echos of immigration, to the careful calibration needed in today's digital age, George highlights the dual-edged sword of social media's influence on mental health.We conclude with George's compelling personal narrative, underscoring why mental well-being, particularly in the malleable years of youth, is paramount to our individual and shared futures.Join us on this riveting journey and, as we seek to continue the dialogue on these crucial themes, we invite your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions for future guests who can contribute to this important conversation.Key moments00:00 Childhood experiences shape perspective and guide AI.04:16 Personal journey overcoming childhood trauma and ambitions.06:48 Personal experience shapes teacher's approach to education.11:40 AI has the potential for trauma treatment.13:19 AI's positive impact on mental, and physical health values.17:01 A Digital divide exists, but solutions are available.21:56 Technical knowledge versus wisdom in job success.24:30 Adaptability is crucial in rapidly changing work environments.26:50 Time running out, future tech and disruption.31:24 AI-driven automation will change jobs and thinking.32:47 Workers will elevate with strategic decision-making.Connect with George CorugedoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgecorugedo----Listen on: Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-youth-we-trust/id1715898301?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2nAx96DPBnhY33fQnl8F87----Connect with Prashant:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prashant-raizada/----About In YOUth We TrustIn YOUth We Trust sits down with successful entrepreneurs, business leaders, educators, and others worldwide.We spotlight how individuals & organizations are shaping a better world, directly or indirectly, for the coming generations by focusing on sustainability, equity, education, and more to empower young people to create the future they deserve.----About Lumi.NetworkLumi is building the world's first AI-augmented platform where 10-25-year-olds undertake Quests to build entrepreneurship, design thinking & AI skills while collaboratively developing tech-enabled solutions to the world's biggest problems (based on UN SDGs).
