A Whole New Human in the AI Age
- Episode #220
Michi Lantz talks with Derek Rydall, spiritual visionary, prominent life coach and bestselling author about his latest book A Whole New Human, about self-knowledge, identity, and what it means to stay human in the AI age. A thoughtful conversation on purpose, disruption, and letting life come through you.

As a transformational leader and best-selling author of multiple books, including Emergence: Seven Steps for Radical Life Change and his newest work, A Whole New Human: Ten Ways We Must Evolve to Survive and Thrive in the AI Age, Derek Rydall has spent twenty years dedicated to guiding individuals through the profound shifts happening on our rapidly changing planet—showing them how to tap into their inner technologies to evolve their humanity, become irreplaceable, and make a bigger impact. He’s overcome some of the most profound personal hardships, including divorce, the loss of a fortune, and the heartbreaking death of his son—to build a global coaching platform that helps hundreds of thousands of people live their greatest life.
As a consultant, Derek has coached top executives at Fortune 500 companies in empowered leadership and cultural transformation, as well as celebrities and media professionals, including Oscar and Emmy winners, in creating content that uplifts and transforms. He’s shared stages (virtual and live) with luminaries including Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Michael Beckwith, and Wayne Dyer. And in his podcast, Emergence, with millions of downloads, he teaches timeless principles for activating our deepest potential and living our true purpose.
