🎙 The Caring Economy welcomes chess educator and lifelong player Jon Rigai to explore what the game of chess can teach us about navigating an AI-driven world.

From training tournament players to helping 900-rated beginners find their stride, Jon’s philosophy is rooted in the power of slow, intentional thinking. In an era when AI engines can calculate the “perfect” move instantly, he reminds us that the real growth comes from trusting our instincts, embracing mistakes, and learning through the messy process.

We discuss:
♟ The impact of AI on chess and why over-reliance can dull creativity
♟ Life lessons from the board—patience, foresight, and resilience
♟ Why in-person chess communities still matter in a digital-first world
♟ How “the best defense is a good offense” applies far beyond the game

Whether you’re a chess player, a tech skeptic, or someone navigating a rapidly changing world, this episode will inspire you to think strategically—and stay human—in the age of algorithms.

📍 Listen now and discover how the timeless game of chess offers a blueprint for living with intention in our fast-paced, tech-saturated era.
