How to maximize human potential with Buster Franken | #03

In this episode, I sat down with Buster Franken, with triple degrees in neuroscience, mechanical engineering, and data science, now running FruitPunch AI, a global community for AI engineers.

What we covered:

  • Buster's transitions from research to solving real-world problems

  • The story behind FruitPunch AI

  • Learn-by-doing approach to education versus traditional education approaches

  • Defining intelligence vs. consciousness

  • FruitPunch AI’s 50-year plan to optimize human potential

  • Differences in education around the world

  • Building a society from ground up

  • How founders think, act, and behave

Powerful Insights:

  • We need to take away the sense of scariness in education and support creativity instead.

  • Learn by doing. That's how you can make an impact.

  • In Africa, there are fewer people who have the opportunity to create something big; there are not fewer intelligent people.

  • We should not hold on to one political ideology but we should look at what works and combine them together.

Enjoy my conversation with Buster and let me know your thoughts about the topics we discussed in this episode.
