Staying Human in the Age of Unregulated AI, with Çiğdem Öztabak

Çiğdem Öztabak is a journalist and media-communications consultant who's spent the last decade covering technology at the intersection of media, tech, and the human story — writing for outlets including CNN Türkiye and Aposto, the Istanbul-based digital media company known for its curated newsletters and journalism. Before this, she created and hosted a chart-topping children's science podcast about the natural world, animals, and conservation. In this episode, Çiğdem and I dig into Humanarium, her project exploring how humans can stay connected to each other in a moment when AI is evolving faster than our ability to regulate it. We talk about the wave of AI scientists who've walked away from the field, what that exodus signals about where this technology is headed, and what's genuinely at stake for humanity if we don't get intentional about using our soft skills — the very things that make us human in the first place. #TheSustainableArtist #Humanarium #CigdemOztabak #AI #Tech #Humanity #Sustainable  Follow Cigdem Oztabak and Humanrium on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/humanariumco/?hl=en Website: https://humanarium.co/ [https://humanarium.co/] https://cigdemoztabak.com/ [https://cigdemoztabak.com/] SUBSCRIBE to The Sustainable Artist Content on YouTube:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtaimRlaSZiiEvzI3E-dsJy-RRseWC9dG&si=h1G9nHxRRp2L96gP Follow The Sustainable Artist on Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/thesustainableartistpodcast/ Listen to The Sustainable Artist podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sustainable-artist-with-carolina-alduey/id1876058493 Listen to The Sustainable Artist podcast on Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5QK0gOPZZydcU95vbCpXnM [https://open.spotify.com/show/5QK0gOPZZydcU95vbCpXnM]

The Realest Conversation About Art, Money, and Politics — With Fabrizio Copano

Fabrizio Copano is one of the most celebrated comedians in Latin America — the first South American comic to shoot an original Netflix special — and tours globally, selling out across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe. He's appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden, performed on CBS' The Talk, and is a proud paid regular at the world-famous Comedy Cellar. Fabrizio is currently developing a television series with Trevor Noah’s Day Zero Productions. His debut English-language special From the Future, released by 800 Pound Gorilla, is now streaming on YouTube. In this episode, Fabrizio gets real about what the artist's lifestyle actually looks like up close — what's sustainable and what isn't — shares his personal experience with his friend and former Chilean president Gabriel Boric and what socialism looks like from the inside, and gives his unfiltered takes on politics and comedy across the U.S. and Latin America. #TheSustainableArtist #FabrizioCopano #comedy #artists #Chile #Latino #Latinx #sustainable Follow Fabrizio Copano on: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/fabriziocopano/ [https://www.instagram.com/galamagrinadesign/] https://www.instagram.com/fabriziostandup/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fabriziocopano Website: http://fabriziocopano.com/ SUBSCRIBE to The Sustainable Artist Content on YouTube:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtaimRlaSZiiEvzI3E-dsJy-RRseWC9dG&si=h1G9nHxRRp2L96gP Follow The Sustainable Artist on Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/thesustainableartistpodcast/ Listen to The Sustainable Artist podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sustainable-artist-with-carolina-alduey/id1876058493 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sustainable-artist-with-carolina-alduey/id1876058493] Listen to The Sustainable Artist podcast on Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5QK0gOPZZydcU95vbCpXnM

Your Space Is Shaping Your Life: Holistic Interior Designer Gala Magriñá on Design That Transforms

Gala Magriñá started her career designing for major brands like Lacoste, Diesel, and Calvin Klein and orchestrating high-profile events for clients like Jimmy Choo, Harper’s Bazaar and Maison Martin Margiela. She started tapping into her spirituality and noticed something crucial was missing. In 2016, she embraced meditation and realized that the spaces we inhabit have a profound effect on our mind, body, and spirit. Now, as an award-winning holistic interior designer, she merges the beautiful with the mindful to create spaces that actually transform people's lives. In this episode, we talk about her journey from high-pressure event production to permanent interiors, why luxury and supportive design doesn't have to be expensive, and the spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental impact our spaces have on us. Gala breaks down what we should focus on when designing any space—whether it's a home, office, or retail store—and how creating mindful environments elevates not just individual consciousness, but the collective. Her mission? To change the world one space at a time. This conversation will shift how you see the room you're sitting in right now. #TheSustainableArtist #GalaMagrina #healing #design #spaces #sustainable Follow Gala Magriñá on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/galamagrinadesign/ [https://www.instagram.com/galamagrinadesign/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GalaMagrinaDesign/ Podcast:  https://galamagrinadesign.com/beyond-spaces-podcast/ Website: https://galamagrinadesign.com/ SUBSCRIBE to The Sustainable Artist Content on YouTube:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtaimRlaSZiiEvzI3E-dsJy-RRseWC9dG&si=h1G9nHxRRp2L96gP Follow The Sustainable Artist on Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/thesustainableartistpodcast/ Listen to The Sustainable Artist podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sustainable-artist-with-carolina-alduey/id1876058493 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sustainable-artist-with-carolina-alduey/id1876058493] Listen to The Sustainable Artist podcast on Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5QK0gOPZZydcU95vbCpXnM

When Crisis Becomes Calling: Hasani Reyes on Radical Healing and Decolonizing Success

In this episode, I sit down with Hasani Reyes, an Intuitive Guide and Shamanic Energy Healer who helps people reconnect with their soul after a lifetime of living up to everyone else's expectations. Hasani's story is powerful — at the peak of her corporate fashion career leading creative teams across the country, an unexpected health crisis forced her to completely reimagine her life. That traumatic moment became her calling, unlocking her intuitive gifts and reconnecting her to ancestral spiritual wisdom. Now, Hasani blends ancient Indigenous and Afro-Caribbean rituals, Shamanic Energy Healing, and Holistic Mindset Coaching to guide clients back to themselves — helping them live in alignment with mind, body, and soul. We talk about what the multi-billion dollar wellness industry is missing, why first-generation cycle breakers need a different approach to healing, the indigenous medicine we've forgotten, and what a healed world could actually look like. This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt like success came at the cost of their soul.

Breaking the Rules: Angelo Colina on Spanish-Only Comedy, Democracy, and Surviving Dictatorships.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Angelo Colina, a Venezuelan comedian who's carved out an entirely unique lane in stand-up — performing exclusively in Spanish. Starting in New York City, Angelo has sold out shows across 30+ states, Latin America, and Europe. We go deep in this conversation — talking about his journey from Venezuela to becoming one of the first Spanish-language headliners at the New York Comedy Festival (2023 & 2024), Netflix Is A Joke Festival, and the 321 Comedy Festival. We also dive into his reflections on life in Venezuela and his personal take on the recent ousting of dictator Maduro in Venezuela.  This was an exciting, deeply personal conversation I'm honored to share.
