Podcast appearances and mentions of katherine ludwig

As listeners of this podcast know, the Marine Corps is taking a new direction. The latest document to lay out this vision is Force Design 2030. The commandant, Gen. David H. Berger, aims to cut the size of the Marine Corps and let go of some legacy systems (most notably tanks) in order to -- in the words of a recent article in the Economist --- turn the Corps into "a commando-like infantry force with nimbler weapons: drone squadrons will double in number and rocket batteries will triple." In Berger's view, the Marine Corps must make these changes in order to work with the other armed services to deter the People's Republic of China, if necessary, or win a war against it.   Ryan spoke with Berger to get the inside story of these reforms, which he describes as being in their earliest phase. "This is not the end of the journey" he said, "but rather the beginning." And he calls upon more voices to chime in with criticism to ensure the Marine Corps is ready for the future of war.    Further reading and listening: Force Design 2030 David H.

How can humans flourish as machines continue to advance and master the tasks people have been doing for decades? What does it mean to be truly human? How are learning, curiosity and humility tools that we can use to prepare for the coming 'machine age?' Katherine Ludwig helps us answer these questions and more while we discuss her book (Humility is the New Smart), her roots in blue collar western Pennsylvania and her undying love of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The ideas that Katherine and her co-author, Ed Hess, lay out in their book are slightly uncomfortable for Bryan. You can follow Katherine on Twitter at @LudwigKatherine.

Soon many white-collar jobs will also become automated. When it comes to smart machines, we can’t beat them and we can’t join them—so what does that mean for us?In today's interview, I talk to Ed Hess one of the co-authors of Humility Is the New Smart: Rethinking Human Excellence in the Smart Machine Age. In the book, he along with his co-author Katherine Ludwig outline exactly what we need to do to excel in the smart age era, and Hess and Ludwig call it being “New Smart.” In this timely book, they offer detailed guidance for developing several New Smart attitude and the critical behaviors that will help adapt to the new realities of the workplace. Drawing on extensive multidisciplinary research, Hess and Ludwig emphasize that the key to success in this new era is not to be more like the robots, but to build on the best of what makes us human and to excel at doing what technology can’t do well.
