Value-First Humans with George B. Thomas - The Superhuman Foundation

Episode Description

Last year, I told George B. Thomas his Superhuman Framework was dead on arrival.

Not because there’s anything wrong with it. The four cornerstones—Love, Purpose, Passion, Persistence—combined with the 10 H-pillars create a powerful vision for human-centered business.

After interviewing him over the course of a few months, I was bought in. Others were too.

The problem? Too many brilliant frameworks hit the wall of industrial-age structures.

KPIs driving extraction over relationship building. Compensation plans rewarding quarterly wins over long-term partnership. Systems that make common-sense, human-centered decisions literally impossible.

Leaders nod enthusiastically at these frameworks, then return to structures that prevent implementation.

So instead of creating another “here’s what you should do” framework, I started working with Claude AI on a different question:

Can we get crystal clear on what is truly trapping these organizations and leaders in industrial-age thinking?

What if we mapped the traps preventing human-centered transformation?

What if we showed leaders exactly where industrial-age thinking is encoded in their systems—and provided escape routes to break free?

That became the Value-First Framework. Value-First Humans is one of its pillars.

And you know there is only one person I’m gonna turn to for content with “Humans” in the title. 😃

Today at 3PM CT, George and I launch Value-First Humans—a LinkedIn Live series exploring how these frameworks work together:

• George’s Superhuman Framework = The destination
• Value-First Humans = The escape routes

Episode 1: “The Superhuman Foundation” tells this origin story and introduces the seven Value-First Humans commitments that address specific barriers preventing what George’s framework promises.

Join us live or save this post and catch the recording.

This isn’t about choosing frameworks. It’s about understanding why transformation keeps failing—and what to do about it.
