Why we're using labels the wrong way

In this episode, Rebecca Grugan sits down with Rossco, founder of A Player Brains, for a deep conversation about neurodiversity, identity, artificial intelligence, and the future of human intelligence.

They explore why the idea of “neurotypical” never truly existed, how labels can either create understanding or quietly keep people stuck, and why emotional intelligence is becoming the next level of wealth in a rapidly changing world.

This conversation also dives into how AI can either make us smarter or more dependent, why most people are trapped in thinking and feeling loops, and how creation, discernment, and responsibility are the real way out.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed by labels, confused by personal development advice, or unsure how to use modern tools without losing yourself, this episode offers a grounded and practical reframe.

The difference between being rich and feeling wealthy
