The Future of Human Potential with Michelle Duval

Hey pal, and welcome back to I've Got Your Back the podcast.This week I’m sitting down with the incredible Michelle Duval, a pioneer in human potential, coaching, and now AI-powered transformation. Michelle has spent nearly three decades coaching leaders, founders, and humans from all walks of life, and is now on a mission to democratise access to that kind of support through technology.Michelle and I first met around ten years ago in Sydney during one of the most intense startup programs I’ve ever been part of. Picture twelve wildly different entrepreneurs trying to build a million-dollar business in ten weeks. It was chaos. And Michelle walked into the room and somehow held it all together with this calm, grounded brilliance that I’ve never forgotten.Since then, her work has evolved from coaching into building an AI technology designed to help people all over the world realise their potential, not just the few who can afford a coach.This conversation is expansive, honest, and deeply thought-provoking. I think this one is going to stay with you.Inside, we explore:Michelle’s journey from early coaching days to building an AI technology used across the globeWhy human potential has been inaccessible for most people and how that’s changingThe honest reality of building in the AI space and what it really takesWhy “work is broken” and what’s driving burnout, anxiety, and disconnectionHow AI is reshaping work, identity, and what it means to be humanThe biggest mindset shift we need to make right now around identity and job titlesWhat the data reveals about Gen Z and why workplaces need to evolveMichelle’s powerful take on purpose and why it’s often much simpler than we thinkThis episode is full of those moments that make you pause and reflect. Michelle has this incredible way of holding both the challenges of today and the possibilities of what’s ahead.If you’ve ever questioned your purpose, your place in work, or how to navigate what’s coming next, this one is for you.Connect with Michelle Duval:Find out more about her workExplore her book Find Your Workverse (Discount Code to use at checkout for 10% off the book: GotYourBack10)All the good stuff 🙌Subscribe to Michelle's Weekly WellnessJoin my "I've Got Your Back" communityDownload my free Yoga Nidra PracticeLet's chat over on InstagramMichelle's Website + Book a chatDownload my free Become B Corp Certified guide
