S14 E23 How to Remain Human in the Age of AI, with Florence Shaffer

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with Florence Shaffer, the founder and CEO of Becoming, a human performance company that helps leaders navigate sustained complexity without losing themselves in the process. Florence spent more than 20 years leading digital transformation inside global brands, including Burberry and Estée Lauder, before turning her lens inward, to the hidden constraints that quietly distort how high-achievers think, decide, and live. The conversation centers on a counterintuitive idea: that the defining risk of the AI era isn't machines replacing humans, but humans increasingly behaving like machines: deferring decisions, optimizing obsessively, and losing their grip on what actually matters. Florence shares three core capabilities she believes will determine who thrives in this next era: stability of the nervous system, clarity of orientation, and commitment to a direction. If you've ever felt successful on paper but hollow underneath, this episode will help you understand why and what to actually do about it.
