The future is tech. The purpose is human. This podcast lives in the space between.
Andrea Peer and Susan Leonardson are self-proclaimed tech geeks who spend their days building digital systems and geeking out over the latest AI tools.
But somewhere along the way, they started asking bigger questions: In a world racing toward automation, what makes us human in the first place? And how do we hold onto that as everything around us evolves?
This isn't an anti-tech show. Susan and Andrea love tech (they might love it too much). But they've noticed that the more we optimize, automate, and outsource, the easier it is to forget the humans at the center of it all. Including ourselves.
We Are Human is their exploration of what it means to stay human in a tech-driven world. Expect honest conversations, nerdy tangents, guest interviews with people who study what makes us tick, and the occasional existential question that doesn't have a clean answer.
The future is tech. The thing that makes it matter is being human. This podcast is about not forgetting that.
Stay human. Stay connected.

Stay human. Stay connected.
We know all the tricks. We study human behavior. We build systems designed to connect with people. And yet we are still learning and figuring it out.
In this episode, Susan and Andrea get honest about the gap between knowing how to reach people and actually reaching them.
They talk about why industries are resisting tech they can't avoid, why schools banning AI might be doing students a disservice, and what it really means to not just stay human, but amplify humanness in everything we build.
This isn't a business podcast. This is a "we're a little worried about where society is headed if we don't figure this out" podcast.
No answers yet. Just the questions we think everyone should be asking.
Welcome to the very first episode of We Are Human!
In this intro episode, Susan and Andrea break down the big question driving the show: In a world where we can automate almost everything, what happens to the stuff that makes us... us?
Susan confesses that her creative brain muscle has gotten a little weak from outsourcing too much to AI (relatable), and Andrea drops the bold take that leaning into tech might actually make us more human... if we do it right.
If you've ever caught yourself asking ChatGPT to write an email and then thought, "Wait, should I be worried about this?", you're in the right place.
Stay human. Stay connected.
And maybe exercise that creative muscle a little today.
