About

I picked up Max Tegmark's "Life 3.0" thinking I'd learn about AI and the future of technology. I didn't expect to be pulled 13.8 billion years back in time. And I definitely didn't expect to cry. As I read about the Big Bang, the birth of stars, and how life first appeared, I kept thinking about my 14-year-old daughter. And I realized: someone should have told me this story when I was a kid. This episode isn't a book review. It's me, as a father, sharing what I learned about where we come from, what we're made of, and what this means for our children. In this episode, you'll discover:The 13.8 billion year journey from the Big Bang to youWhy the calcium in your bones was once inside a starHow we are literally made of stardustThe three stages of life: biological, cultural, and technologicalWhy "bit by bit" isn't just my philosophy—it's how the universe worksWhat Life 3.0 (AI) means for the next generationHow to tell your kids this cosmic story in a way that feels magicalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/be-better-bit-by-bit--4216679/support.Thanks for listening!If this episode helped you, I'd love to stay connected.About me: I'm a CA ranker (AIR 48), ultra-marathon runner, and author with 20 years of work experience.  I believe in getting better bit by bit—through daily journaling, honest reflection, and small actions.Here's how we can work together: Download UPLY - Our app for daily growth and mindfulness Read my books & journals - Available on Amazon (search my name - Nishith Goyal)  Visit bebetterbitbybit.com - Free resources, blog posts, and more Join my workshops - I teach journaling, mental wellness, and the GATE conceptOne bit at a time, we all get better.See you in the next episode!
