What if artificial intelligence isn't our biggest threat but our clearest reflection? In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, entrepreneur and venture capitalist Jeff Burningham, author of “The Last Book Written by a Human,” joins host Cody McLain to explore how AI mirrors our own consciousness, habits, and hidden fears.

Discover why chasing success can feel hollow, why wisdom instead of intelligence will define our future, and how we can become more human in the age of machines.

ℹ️ About the Guest

Jeff Burningham has spent his career investing in the future by launching businesses, backing entrepreneurs, and helping shape industries. But as artificial intelligence reshapes the world at unprecedented speed, he is asking a bigger question: What kind of future are we actually building?

His journey has taken him from boardrooms to political campaigns, and from the highs of entrepreneurial success to the depths of personal transformation. As a former Bishop leading a congregation of over 500 people, Jeff brings the heart of a spiritual leader to every arena he enters, whether in business, politics, or family life as a devoted husband, father of four, and proud grandfather.

His book, The Last Book Written by a Human, is a deeply personal exploration of the choices we face in the age of AI, as well as an invitation to embrace wisdom, connection, and real human evolution.

•  Built and invested in hundreds of tech companies
•  Ran for Governor of Utah, challenging the political status quo
• Explored consciousness, transformation, and the limits of human potential
• Advocates for a new way forward in a world increasingly shaped by AI

Jeff isn’t here to predict the future. He’s here to help shape it. And he believes that work starts with all of us.

The invisible prison holding you back isn't built with bars but beliefs. Most never realize they forged their own chains.

Enter Jay Yang: while classmates played video games, he cold-emailed CEOs and landed career-making opportunities with Noah Kagan at 16. By 19, he commanded a six-figure business and 200,000 followers without permission slips from gatekeepers.

This conversation cracks open the playbook others pray you never discover. Jay reveals his ingenious TAG method that turns untouchable mentors into allies, the exact 19-slide deck strategy that bypassed years of corporate climbing, and his "sawdust selling" technique that transforms your everyday actions into income streams.

Behind every locked door of opportunity stands no guard but your own hesitation. Learn the four-step framework that propelled a teenager past professionals with decades of experience. This isn't inspiration. It's a tactical blueprint for those brave enough to simply try the handle.

ℹ️ About the Guest

Jay Yang believes you don’t need permission to create your own opportunities.

At 16, he cold-emailed Tyler Denk, CEO of beehiiv, with a list of ideas on how he could help. That email turned into an internship where he built beehiiv 101—a course that has helped hundreds of users unlock the platform’s potential.

At 17, he sent Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo, a 19-page pitch deck breaking down gaps in his social media and email marketing—and how to fix them. That landed him a role as Head of Content, where he led social media campaigns, including the one that made Million Dollar Weekend a New York Times bestseller.

Today, Jay continues to help entrepreneurs scale their brands, grow their audiences, and market their products more effectively.

In his latest book, You Can Just Do Things: The Power of Permissionless Action, Jay shares the stories and strategies that helped him take bold action, build momentum, and create his own career path from scratch. When he’s not working, he’s likely playing pickup basketball, lifting weights, or spending time with family and friends.
