Why Humans Still Think Like Cave People — with Human Behavior Strategist Stephen De Sede
In this powerful episode of Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Proud, Dr. Shannon sits down with human behavior strategist Stephen De Sede to uncover what truly drives human behavior. Stephen explains why humans are still “herd animals,” how our brains haven’t changed in 40,000 years, and why community and connection shape everything we do. He shares his personal journey—from deep loss to creating Human X AI, an innovative framework that blends emotional intelligence, human patterns, and the emerging reality of AI as a coexistent partner.
Together, they dive into cultural conditioning, the psychology of doubt, and why understanding yourself is the first step to reaching beyond who you think you are. If you’ve ever wondered why people do what they do—or how AI is shifting the future of human behavior—this episode will open your eyes.
