Summary

What if the future belonged not to the fastest, the smartest, or the most optimized, but to the most human?

In this milestone 200th solo episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles reveals why your humanity — your creativity, your emotional depth, your intentionality — is the sharpest competitive edge you have in an AI-accelerated world.

Drawing from insights across our Irreplaceables series and weaving in lessons from guests like Scott D. Anthony, Elias Weiss Friedman (The Dogist), Amina AlTai, and Lynn Smith, John explores the core truth of the decade:

Everything that can be automated will be. Everything that can be commoditized already is. What is left, and what has always been left, is the part of you no machine will ever replace.

You will uncover why creativity is the purest expression of a lived life, how emotional depth builds trust faster than any KPI, and why intentionality is the one domain AI will never touch. This episode is not just a reflection. It is a blueprint for staying irreplaceable in the age of automation.

If you have ever wondered how to protect the parts of you that make you who you are, this episode will awaken you to the daily practices that transform vulnerability into a superpower.
