I really enjoyed the conversation with Sol. I particularly resonated with your insights on AI. You highlighted how AI brings layers of fear and anxiety, especially with its psychological complexities. This is particularly true for people working with AI, knowing it might eventually replace them.
I loved listening to this episode, especially the part about connecting with people through hearing their life story. The guidance on how to pitch yourself to podcasts was of course very helpful too!
