In this episode, Alice Phillips and Dan Emery sit down with technologist and leadership thinker Sunil Malhotra to explore the unlikely but essential intersection of yoga and artificial intelligence. The conversation dives into how ancient wisdom can help individuals and organizations navigate the rapidly evolving, often overwhelming world of work shaped by AI.
Sunil shares why work has always been weird, how yoga offers a form of inner technology to cultivate resilience and clarity, and why we need to rethink not just how we work, but how we educate and lead. From questioning the traditional obsession with intelligence to emphasising the value of wisdom, this episode challenges listeners to look beyond quick-fix solutions and toward deeper, human-centered change.
Key Takeaways:
✔ Work has always been complex and chaotic — AI just amplifies that.
✔ Yoga isn't just physical — it's a tool for navigating uncertainty.
✔ Wisdom emerges through experience — it can’t be taught conventionally.
✔ Education and leadership models need a radical reset.
✔ AI may reshape high-skilled jobs faster than we expect.
✔ The future demands we balance technological progress with ancient human insight.
Whether you're an individual looking to future-proof your career or a leader rethinking how to build human-centered organisations, this episode offers philosophical perspective.
