Eight years ago, two best friends from middle school started a podcast. We had no idea what we were doing. We said we'd keep going. We didn't.

Now we're back. And we're starting with the conversation nobody can stop having. Artificial intelligence.

I live in this world. I use AI every single day in my work with creative entrepreneurs. James doesn't, and he's got questions. Real ones. The kind most people are thinking but won't say out loud.

We talked about where AI actually came from, how it works without all the tech talk, and what it's doing to the people who make things for a living. Musicians. Designers. Videographers. People who built their whole identity around creating something with their hands, their voice, their story.

We talked about the jobs already disappearing. The ones meant to replace them. And whether the idea that AI sets humans free is actually true or just a great marketing line from the people selling the software.

We didn't agree on everything. We never do. That's kind of the whole show.
