## Resource

Season 9, Episode 2 — When They Lecture the Future Stanford University graduates walked out during Google CEO Sundar Pichai's commencement keynote — and the world took notice. In this episode, SunDeep Mehra unpacks what happens when tech leaders grow unchecked and untethered from humanity. When political and corporate power collude for mutual gain, ordinary people and nations pay the price. Technology was built to serve humanity — not manipulate it. The walkout at Stanford is a signal that the next generation already knows the difference. The question is: do our leaders? Lead Awakened. Enter the Field: www.SunDeepMehra.com
