Kirk Artman: Living Life On My Terms

In this episode of Progress Always, I sit down with Greg Pignataro, co-founder of Enlightened Health and a Guinness World RIn this episode of Progress Always, I sit down with Kirk Artman, creator of the Digital Automation Diagram and (as I know him) the “AI DJ.” We dive into Kirk’s wild journey from artist to DJ to international skydiving instructor — and now into AI automation. We explore how AI isn’t about replacing humanity but returning us to it, giving people freedom to do what they truly want.

Key Takeaways

  1. The shift from chasing passions for money to doing them for meaning.
  2. Why skydiving isn’t about falling — it’s about freedom and presence.
  3. Lessons learned from teaching elite military units in wind tunnels.
  4. How AI reframes “what do you do?” into “who are you?”
  5. Why AI is less about job loss and more about redistributing freedom.
