It's Creating a New Economy.](http://www.mattreiner.com/podcast) _2026-08-06 · FutureProof Advisor Podcast_ The narrative around AI and job loss is louder than the data supports — and that gap matters for how we talk to clients. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I dig into what's actually happening in the labor market, why the current moment looks more like a reshuffling than a collapse, and how the historical pattern of industrial transitions gives us a more useful frame than the headlines… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/df9cf49e-cfa4-49a5-aaa1-51bd63b0b1eb.mp3) ## [“Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age: Coping with Digital Distraction and Sensory Overload” with Professor Richard Cytowic](https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie) _2026-08-03 · Bridging the Gaps: A Portal for Curious Minds_ The human brain evolved for a prehistoric world, not for the demands of the digital age. Yet modern technologies constantly compete for our attention. They exploit ancient systems linked to reward, emotion, comparison, and survival. In his new book, “Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age”, Professor Richard Cytowic explores this conflict. He explains why the brain struggles to resist smartphones,… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/585cad61-6474-4e78-85fa-7ec962e02dde.mp3) ## [AI Doesn't Create Value. Your Process Does.](http://www.mattreiner.com/podcast) _2026-07-24 · FutureProof Advisor Podcast_ The questions advisors are asking right now aren't abstract — they're urgent, practical, and rooted in the daily reality of trying to move forward without losing what makes their firms valuable in the first place. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, Shannon joins me to work through another round of listener questions, and the themes that keep surfacing are consistent: how do you measure… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/b3f62157-4c9e-41bb-b701-5c6699c53aaf.mp3) ## [“The Evolution of Imperfection: The Science of Why We Aren’t and Can’t Be Perfect” with Professor Laurence Hurst](https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie) _2026-07-22 · Bridging the Gaps: A Portal for Curious Minds_ Evolution is often described as a process of constant improvement. Yet many features of human biology challenge this assumption. Genetic diseases remain common. Large parts of our DNA appear to serve no clear purpose. Pregnancy is also highly inefficient, and many fertilised eggs do not survive. These apparent flaws raise wider questions about how evolution works. Are they failures of natural… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/b4e80147-89b5-431a-84ab-557cbf616622.mp3) ## [“Ten Patterns That Explain the Universe” and “Ten Days in Physics That Shook the World” with Brian Clegg](https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie) _2026-07-10 · Bridging the Gaps: A Portal for Curious Minds_ The universe may appear chaotic. Yet beneath this apparent disorder lies a vast network of rules. These rules shape patterns of action, force, and consequence.

Why should electrical and chemical activity in the brain give rise to thoughts, emotions, colors, sounds, and the feeling of being alive? Despite major advances in neuroscience, the inner nature of experience remains difficult to explain. Modern science can describe the brain’s physical processes in great detail, but it still struggles to explain why those… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d6ba8dd4-8ce3-4e39-b1c2-f804235bf4c8.mp3) ## [Digital Workers & Robots: What Advisors Should be Watching](http://www.mattreiner.com/podcast) _2026-06-12 · FutureProof Advisor Podcast_ The pace of AI development isn't slowing down — and for wealth management firms, the implications are arriving faster than most are prepared for. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I break down three developments that deserve serious attention: an AI model so advanced at detecting security vulnerabilities that it was deemed too dangerous to release publicly, the rise of digital labor… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/9e45448b-40e4-4309-861e-3a6eef511e46.mp3) ## [The Biggest AI Questions Advisors Are Asking](http://www.mattreiner.com/podcast) _2026-05-28 · FutureProof Advisor Podcast_ The questions advisors are asking about AI right now aren't abstract — they're urgent, practical, and coming from every corner of the industry.

The one that's documented — and the one that actually runs the place. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I explore what I call shadow systems: the unwritten rules, workarounds, and deeply held assumptions that quietly govern how decisions get made, how work actually flows, and why new technology so often fails to stick. Understanding the gap between… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d619878e-36a9-4fd3-83f8-769a58d8cb56.mp3) ## [Why Dunbar's Number Doesn't Define Your Capacity](http://www.mattreiner.com/podcast) _2026-05-07 · FutureProof Advisor Podcast_ We've been told there's a ceiling on how many deep client relationships an advisor can maintain — that human cognition has hard limits, and trying to exceed them means sacrificing quality for quantity. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I challenge that assumption directly, drawing from a period in my own career when I absorbed a significant increase in client families and discovered that… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/81116019-86ae-4530-902d-c2c936a1b6b3.mp3) ## [Your CRM Knows Everything](http://www.mattreiner.com/podcast) _2026-04-30 · FutureProof Advisor Podcast_ Data tells you what clients have. It rarely tells you why it matters to them. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I explore the gap between personalization and purpose — and why confusing the two is one of the most common mistakes advisory firms make. A CRM full of client facts creates the illusion of deep knowledge.

Yet one major obstacle to the broader acceptance of a generalised evolutionary theory is our tendency to begin with biology and extend outward from it. This approach obscures an important historical fact. Long before scientists developed theories to explain the evolution of life, scholars in fields such as linguistics,… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/6fce2883-7036-4da9-81dd-f739994a0510.mp3) ## [Building a Thriving Future: Navigating the Metaverse and Multiverse with Dr Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio](https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie) _2026-02-16 · Bridging the Gaps: A Portal for Curious Minds_ The metaverse is no longer a distant concept.

Yet, human longevity is actually part of our deep evolutionary history.
