    Ep 62: Hidden Pitfalls of Productivity Hacks & The Future of Work

    Dave and Alex tackle the dark side of “productivity hacks” and automation. What they save you upfront can quietly cost you in maintenance, admin, and attention. Dave shares a real-world attempt to automate podcast workflows with Make.com and why he ultimately chose a done-for-you social tool. The duo explores why conceptual computer science matters more than memorizing syntax, how to survive the “first dip” in the learning curve, and the legal/IP risks of AI in bigger orgs. They also debate four-day workweeks, output vs. hours, goal-setting during messy re-orgs, and two models of organizational chaos—the “garbage can” and Dave’s “lava lamp.” They close with pragmatic advice: value moats, pick smart niches (shoutout “Mike’s weekend construction”), and don’t let to-do lists run your life.

    Ep 61: Brand Hygiene in the Age of AI - Why Old Content Still Matters

    Dave and Alex get real about the “AI FOMO” era—why flashy tools and hypey ads won’t fix messy workflows, how automation platforms like Make, n8n, and Zapier actually help (and where they don’t), and what “mullet content strategy” means for brand hygiene and long-term reputation. From meta description fails to the risks of letting employees be your influencers, this episode is a candid, funny, and grounded look at using AI without losing your judgment, your voice, or your weekends.
