Remote work didn’t break culture.
AI didn’t kill creativity.
But together, they’re forcing a reckoning most leaders aren’t ready for.
In this episode, we talk honestly about what’s eroding beneath the surface of modern work: isolation, optimization obsession, loss of ownership, and the slow removal of the human element from art and business.
We explore:
Why culture resists optimization
How AI is reshaping creative work and ownership
The psychological cost of remote isolation
What history teaches us about tech panic cycles
Practical ways people can adapt without losing themselves
This is not about hype or doom.
It’s about understanding the moment we’re in and choosing how to respond.
If you feel unsettled by where work, media, and creativity are heading, this conversation will put words to it.
