Future Factory

You can have a plan for your business and still be winging your health.
Coach Brian Parana returns to Future Factory with Anthony Amunategui for a conversation about staying healthy when work, travel and family fill the calendar. They talk about sleep, movement, food choices, stress, and the small habits that are easier to repeat than another all-or-nothing challenge.
Anthony shares his own experience with weight loss and GLP-1 medication. Brian explains how he approaches coaching, accountability, and building a plan that fits someone's actual life.

AI can write your speech, but it can't be you. Allison Shapira, founder of Global Public Speaking and a lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School, shows leaders how to use AI as a tool that amplifies their authenticity instead of replacing it.
Anthony and Allison dig into where AI genuinely helps you prepare and communicate, where it quietly erases your voice, and how to stay the human in the loop when you're the one at the podium.

Most professionals walk into their biggest pitch of the year and wing it. Keith Bailey, Marine Corps veteran, professional speaker and co-founder of Articulated Intelligence, says the road from meh to mastery is paved with one thing: practice.
Anthony and Keith break down how high-stakes presentations are really won: the four-part audience analysis, the "10% rule" (what your audience will still remember a week later), Post-it ideation and a team "run of show," and why the interview starts the moment you wake up. Plus: the 3-2-1 feedback method, setting up for virtual meetings, and why saying the words out loud changes everything.

Ray Schloss has spent years treating his own body like a lab. Peptides, hormones, sleep, GLP-1s, the works. In this episode he sits down with Anthony and lays out what actually worked, what backfired, and what he'd tell anyone starting out.
If you're curious about biohacking but tired of hype with no receipts, this is the episode.

SummaryIn this episode, Anthony sits down with Aurora Winter, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and founder of Same Page Publishing, to discuss how professionals can thrive in the age of AI by becoming the expert that AI quotes instead of the one it replaces.

Together, they explore thought leadership, personal branding, creativity, authorship, and the importance of building a bold point of view in a rapidly changing world. This conversation is packed with insights for entrepreneurs, business owners, authors, speakers, and anyone looking to create a lasting impact in the AI era.
