149: The Next Human Era: Who Will Triumph?

The Becoming You Show with Leah Roling

About
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.


Every era has demanded something different from us. The Industrial Revolution required physical grit. The Information Age rewarded logic and knowledge. Each shift redefined what it meant to live, work, and lead.


Now, we stand in the Fourth Industrial Revolution—where AI, robotics, biotechnology, and hyperconnectivity are changing the game faster than we can catch our breath. And while the technology is powerful, the real risk is distraction. Because the truth is, we can literally distract ourselves out of our own lives. Out of our potential. Out of our relationships. Out of the very moments that make life worth living.


Every notification pulls at our attention. Every scroll numbs us just enough to forget who we are and what we’re here for. Engineers are paid billions to keep us hooked—to keep us from creating, connecting, and becoming. If we don’t learn how to interrupt that cycle, the cost won’t just be lost time—it will be lost identity.


So what can history teach us? How do we navigate this new age without losing ourselves in it? And what tools will differentiate us—not just from one another, but from the machines we’ve built?


In this episode of The Becoming You Show, we’ll look at:



    The lessons each past revolution left behind—and how they still shape us.


    Why distraction may be the defining challenge of our time.


    What it means to move beyond logic into consciousness.


    And the tools you’ll need to reclaim your uniqueness, your capacity, and your humanity.



The world is changing. The question is—will you?
