An introduction to the book “Designing Transformative Experiences” by Brad McLain, PhD. This conversation was generated by the rather amazing Notebook LM AI tool from Google that the Coupe Studios team has been beta testing. Everything except the music was generated by simply feeding the AI the text of the book’s intro – the voices and the words they’re using were all generated automatically.
But here’s an endorsement of the book from one of the most amazing humans around:
“Everyone can make a positive difference in this world. Often this requires us to change something about ourselves and the choices we make. This book will be especially valuable to those who are leaders, or aspiring leaders, in their field.”
— Dr. Jane Goodall, Conservationist, Primatologist, UN
Peace Ambassador
