The Other Side of Potential
Over time, the conversations we choose to have begin to reflect what matters most.
If you’ve been part of this podcast, you’ve heard me speak about human development, systems thinking, and the ways we make meaning of our lives and work. That work continues—and remains at the core of my coaching and professional practice.
What has changed is the space where I am choosing to have a different kind of conversation.
After the death of my son, Michael, I felt called to create a more personal place—one that speaks directly to the experience of loss, and to the questions that emerge when life no longer looks the way it once did.
That space is now Beyond the Loss.
This podcast is for parents who have lost a child, and for those who support them. It is not about fixing grief or finding closure, but about understanding how we continue to live, to make meaning, and to become—after loss.
If you are looking for my current podcast,
you will now find me there.
I invite you to join me on Beyond the Loss.
You are welcome.

The Other Side of Potential
Episode 267: A World of Authors and AI with Bo Bennett, PhD
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Among the many fears surrounding the rampant innovation of AI remains a fact that cannot be denied – AI is here to make our lives easier. From conducting research to writing books and essays, AI can complete month-long tasks in mere minutes!
We are joined today by Social Psychologist and prolific Author, Bo Bennett, PhD, who has founded a plethora of AI-powered websites that can all be found under one banner: Archieboy. Bo is a big believer in teaching people how to think, and this philosophy is evident in his seemingly endless string of website innovations.
In our conversation, we learn about the inner workings of Bo’s websites Authorvoices.ai and BookBub – AI-powered platforms for authors – as well as his course-creation website, Virversity, and many others. You’ll also come to understand how Bo generates his ideas, why he isn’t worried about government regulation in AI, what AI could mean for the Dark Web, and Bo’s thoughts on how society is adopting AI and his vision for the future of this soon-to-be-staple technology.
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
- Introducing the prolific author, Bo Bennett, PhD, and his impressive professional background.
- How Bo came up with the name “Archieboy”, and what the website is all about.

- His suggestions for how authors can maximize their use of AI in writing and publishing a book.

- How he put Archieboy together in a short time, and a peek into his idea generation process.
- Why he isn’t concerned about the government’s regulation of AI.
