Episode 212: Navigating the pace of change.

From robots making your coffee to AI that can get hired for jobs through four online interviews, Ish and Sacha dive into the dizzying pace of technological change since they started podcasting.

Get ready for tales of "digital souls," automated concert footage, and why saying "please" to ChatGPT might be destroying the planet.

Main Topics

• Your Digital Soul is Getting Creepy -- Discover why tech companies want to create AI agents that know you better than you know yourself (and whether you should let them)
• When Will Robots Replace Everything? -- From robot baristas to AI comedians, the hosts debate what jobs might still need that human touch (coffee culture appears safe... for now)
• The Ethics of Being Nice to Machines -- Learn why saying "thank you" to ChatGPT might contribute to climate change (but Sacha's still doing it because the uprising is coming!)

Ask Yourself: What tech are you resisting, and why? Text us your thoughts.

Ever wondered how Ish and Sacha keep cranking out podcast ideas after 210+ episodes? In this meta-episode, they pull back the curtain on their creative process while simultaneously demonstrating it live! From random observations to full-fledged show concepts, discover the art of turning everyday moments into content gold.

Main Topics

• The Brainstorm Behind the Scenes -- Peek into Ish and Sacha's actual ideation process as they riff on recent experiences (including Ish's adventurous eating in Japan and Sacha's miserable Easter illness)
• Yes, AND...Not BUT -- Why the rules of improv comedy make for better brainstorming and how saying "yes, and" instead of "no, but" can transform your team's creative output
• Ditch the Facilitator? -- A potentially revolutionary idea: what if AI handled the facilitation so everyone could fully participate in the brainstorm? (Or as Sacha puts it: "Can we just be in the room and give some ideas?")

P.S.: Ish survived eating mysterious "parts" of unknown creatures in Japan (including Achilles' tendons!), while Sacha recommends "Women Talking About Cars" on Audible for your next listen. And yes, we got more proof of Kyla's encounter with Ralph Macchio!

Episode 210: The leadership skill nobody talks about

Or maybe we should have called it PAUSE FOR EFFECT! 🤫

Turns out the most powerful leadership move isn't saying something brilliant - it's shutting up at the right time!

In this episode, Ish and Sach dive into the superpower of the strategic pause. That magical moment between someone saying something annoying and you responding with career-limiting honesty!

Main Topics

• From Beast Mode to Brain Mode -- How taking a breath shifts you from emotional reactions to actual thinking (novel concept for Sacha!)
• W.A.I.T: Why Am I Talking? -- The acronym that stopped Sacha mid-anecdote at a business breakfast, forcing her to question if she was actually helping or just uncomfortable with silence (spoiler: the men were just enjoying their bacon)
• The Code Word Intervention -- Sacha's friend implements a brilliant system to stop her sentence-finishing habit without public humiliation (friendship goals!)

Try the Three-Second Rule: Challenge yourself to wait three full seconds before speaking in your next meeting. It feels like FOREVER, but it might just save your reputation!

P.S.: Sacha is reluctantly decluttering her collection of tiny toys, including a crocheted Bernie Sanders, a Ruth Bader Ginsburg figurine, and a miniature toy coffee maker. Growing up is hard! 🧸
