In this unique lab-style episode of TPOW Weekly, Dustin experiments with a powerful question — can you interview a future version of yourself and expect to feel authentic connection? What begins as a simple test of gear and voice recording becomes something deeper: an exploration of what’s missing when we try to manufacture insight in isolation. From awkward pauses to forced answers, Dustin shares what happened when he tried to simulate a two-person conversation with only one nervous system present. This isn’t about failure — it’s about discovering a truth at the edge of self-awareness: some breakthroughs need a real “other” to emerge.

Tune in to hear what didn’t work, why it matters, and where the real magic of human connection lives in the age of AI and self-reflection.
