Humain Org with Susan Caesar
How do we design the systems that will carry us into a flourishing future?
Welcome to Humain Org, a space for leaders, systems thinkers, and innovators exploring how to harness technology in service of all life. Hosted by Susan Caesar, Director of AI at the International Coaching Federation, and founder of non-profit humain.org, this podcast is a journey into the heart of how we build the infrastructure of tomorrow.
At Humain Org, we believe that technology should be the fabric that supports our communities, organizations, and governments, elevating human agency and protecting the natural world. We move beyond the hype to listen to real-life stories and ethical insights that help us navigate the challenges of our time with wisdom and integrity.
Join us as we explore how to partner with artificial intelligence to create a world where humanity, technology, and nature thrive together.
What to expect:
Systemic Insights: How to build ethical AI frameworks that augment rather than replace human wisdom.
Life-Centered Innovation: Conversations on harnessing technology for the benefit of the living world.

Scale vs. Soul: Reversing the Value Hierarchy with AI Pioneer Andy Sitison
Tech veteran and AI thought leader Andy Sitison joins us to discuss his philosophy of blending human-centered design with the accelerating pace of technology.
Andy argues for a "reversed hierarchy of value," challenging the corporate world to prioritize the Planet and Society before the Economy. He explains how organizations have the opportunity to move beyond profit decisions to maximize human happiness, inclusivity, and belonging.
In this episode, we explore:
- Scale vs. Soul: The importance of design and intent when introducing AI, and how technology can actually enhance, not detract from, the human experience.
- AI for Deeper Understanding: Andy shares how he uses custom generative AI agents to analyze complex human stories, uncovering emotive patterns like joy and anxiety to understand customer needs beyond traditional surveys (including a case study on middle-aged women with Listen Ventures).
- The Trust Crisis: A candid discussion on the existential threat to trust in the digital world, the lack of societal values governing AI, and the urgent need for human agency in the age of data exploitation.
- From Global to Local: Andy’s personal journey of "redemption" and how he found grounding and purpose through local conservation work on the Chesapeake Bay, offering a powerful message to listeners on why their job "doesn't matter that much" compared to connecting locally and building a better life.
If you're looking for an inspiring perspective on how to be a "better employee," a better leader, and how to use technology to nurture both people and the planet, this conversation with Andy Sitison is essential listening.
