The Edge of Possible with Cameron Atlas

We track our steps, our sleep, and our heart rate with ease, but some of the most critical data in our bodies has remained a complete mystery... until now.  In this episode, I sit down with neurotechnologist and inventor Antonio Forenza, PhD, to explore how real time brain data is helping shift wellness from reactive to proactive care. We dive deep into the power of neuroplasticity, how to build y...

It's important to use strategic foresight to position yourself, your family and your company for an extraordinary future. Today's guest is Bradley Schurman, a demographic expert and co-creator of the Geography of Prosperity Index. He's develope...

Have you ever found yourself looking for reasons not to pursue the very thing you know deep down you should be? Our logical brains often talk us out of what our instincts are pulling us toward, and we end up buying into the doubt that comes from either ourselves individually or from others. Today's guest on The Edge of Possible is Stefanie Bales, an award winning fine artist who spent years trying...

We are living in an era where our attention is under constant attack. Every notification, endless feeds, and digital algorithms are relentlessly pulling us away from our most important priorities. If we don't proactively guard our focus, we risk losing our ability to perform at our best. Today's guest is Amir Bozorgzadeh, a visionary entrepreneur pioneering neuroscience-backed digital therapeutics...

The rapid rise of AI is forcing us to completely rewrite the rules of performance, vision and our ability to adapt to change. To thrive in this environment, we must have the courage to step directly to the edge of our comfort zones and rethink how we collaborate with technology to drive sustainable growth. My guest this week on The Edge of Possible is the inspiring Sandy Carter, a globally recogni...

As we witness just how fast the world is changing, it's very natural to feel the fear and the pressure of what's coming next. But while the future is highly uncertain, it also holds incredible opportunities for those willing to step outside their comfort zones. This week, I sit down with the one and only John Hagel. With more than forty years of experience in Silicon Valley, John has advised leade...

Loss is inevitable, and it’s an essential part of being human. What can often end up happening though, is we experience our grief as a sign of weakness. We try to put on a brave face and jump straight back into work as if nothing ever happened. But the truth is, pushing our grief down doesn't make it disappear. That’s a reality today’s guest knows intimately. Rebecca Feinglos is a certified grief...

Stories are the connective tissue of our humanity. They are how we learn, how we interact, and how we move conversations forward. But if we don’t understand the art and science of what makes a great story, we are missing out on the potential to truly influence and inspire. Today’s guest on The Edge of Possible is Cheryl Miller Houser, an award-winning documentary filmmaker who has spent her career...

Artificial intelligence is reshaping our workforce and our daily lives at a rapid pace. In this period of technological change, there's one bet we simply can't afford to get wrong: the education of our children. But the real question isn't just how we teach them to use the tools, it’s how we teach them to remain deeply, authentically human in the process. Today's guest is Marlon Marshall, who has...

Whenever we step into a season of rapid change or reach for that next level in our lives, at some point we’re usually going to hit a new layer of self-doubt. It's easy to see that doubt as a signal to stop, but my guest this week, Juan Bendaña, has a different perspective. Juan is a bestselling author and a coach to Olympians, Grammy Award-winning artists, and Fortune 100 leaders. But Juan’s journ...

We often treat feelings of restlessness, uncertainty, or a sudden lack of fulfillment as a bad thing, a sign that we’ve somehow lost our way. But what if that feeling isn’t a dead end? What if it’s actually a signal pointing you directly toward your next phase of growth? That’s how today’s guest, Terry Esau, has navigated his incredible journey. Terry spent years as a highly successful composer, w...

We are all capable of achieving something extraordinary in our own unique way. But there is often a frustrating gap between our raw potential and our actual ability to perform when the pressure is on. Too often, high performers try to keep their options open, hedging their bets out of fear that their primary focus might not work out. But what if holding onto that safety net is the exact thing prev...

We’ve been conditioned to think of culture as the 'soft stuff' of business - the perks, parties and the ping pong. Today’s guest though, Emile Studham, argues it's a structural system that must be engineered in order to build a high-performing team. Emile brings a unique blend of behavioral science and pro-sports discipline to the corporate world. He’s learned first hand that great teams don't jus...

There can be times where we trick ourselves into believing that to make a real impact in the world, we need unlimited resources or a lifetime of experience. But my guest today proves that the only thing standing between you and a global movement might just be a notebook and the courage to ignore the voice in your head that says, 'Who am I to do this?' I think the more important question is 'Who ar...

Often, our biggest barriers don’t come from a lack of effort, but from a lack of perspective. It’s easy to get trapped by our own blind spots, making it really difficult at times to see the disruptive possibilities that are right in front of us. Today’s guest, Mike Maddock, is a serial entrepreneur who has launched seven successful companies. For years, he’s been an internationally recognized inno...

Hiding who we really are, whether it's our boldest ideas, our identity, or our true passions, acts like a massive drain on our daily energy. It's a recipe for burnout. That’s exactly why I sat down with today’s guest, Jim Fielding. Jim has spent more than 30 years leading global brands, from Disney to The Gap to DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox. He is an executive advisor, best-selling author, and...

At some point in our lives, most of us have had that internal whisper... The one that says "someday." Someday I'll make a bold step in my career, someday I'll get in great shape, someday I'll finally go after that dream I have. Far too often though, that someday turns into weeks, months, years, even decades. That is exactly where today’s guest, Matt Brower found himself, spending 25 years in high...

We often think that if we just throw enough money or resources at a challenge, it will go away. But what if the very way we try to help is actually keeping the problem alive? My guest today is Jake Groshong, the CEO at Playing for Change Foundation. Jake is leading a massive global movement that is flipping the script on how we create impact. Under his leadership, the foundation has grown well ove...

Imagine for a moment that you have been training for a single event your entire life. You’ve prepared for it, you’ve accepted it, and you’ve built your identity around it. But that event isn't a marathon or a championship. It’s when your life will end. My guest today, Erin Mark, was born with Cystic Fibrosis, a life-threatening genetic condition. As a child, she was a Make-A-Wish kid who was told...

You might have heard the phrase ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast.’ But how many leaders are actually willing to prove it when there is serious money on the line? My guest today, Tony Gareri, believes that if you aren’t hiring and firing by those values, they simply aren’t real. Tony is the CEO at Roma Moulding and a man I’ve known for a decade now. He took a 40-year-old manufacturing business...

We often look at high performers and assume they’re simply wired differently; that they don’t feel fear, doubt, or the urge to quit when things get hard. But my guest today proves that being unstoppable isn’t about being fearless. It’s about making a decision to keep going despite the fear being there. I’m sitting down with Alex Weber, an award-winning speaker, acclaimed author, and the only perso...

Millions of students across the US and the world are currently unable to read at or above grade level. We are witnessing a massive disconnect between a 100 year old industrial education model and the actual needs of our children. But what if we knew exactly why this was the case and had a blueprint for how to solve it? In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Caprice Young, a transformational...

How do you solve an impossible problem? For most of us, when we hit this kind of barrier, we struggle to make our way over it. But what if you could train your brain to see everything as a puzzle that’s just waiting to be solved? That’s exactly what we’re exploring on today’s show with my guest, Jeffery Potvin. Jeffery is the CEO of the AI infrastructure company Arc Compute and an investor in over...

We communicate constantly, but many of us are trapped in a cycle of overthinking, creating worst-case scenarios in our minds that simply do not exist. Today’s guest on The Edge of Possible, Mark Setch, has spent over 5,000 hours coaching leaders to break free from these mental wars and find their true purpose. Mark is an ICF Master Certified Coach and the Coaching and MBA Course Leader at ACAP Uni...
