    Ed Ortega: AI isn't stealing your job. It's changing it. (+ live build demo)

    No "AI is coming for your job" panic here. Ed Ortega, partner at Machine and Folk, joins Dave to talk about what AI transformation actually looks like from the inside — and then builds a working CRM prototype live on screen.Ed has spent the last few years watching companies navigate this shift in real time. In this conversation, he explains why the fear of job displacement misses the point, why the smartest leaders are using AI to multiply their teams, and why the biggest risk right now is standing still while your competitors speed up.Halfway through, we switch gears into a live demo of Pencil — a design tool where drawing and code are the same thing — and watch Ed build a fully designed CRM app from a single prompt. In about ten minutes. If you work with designers, developers, or anyone trying to figure out where AI fits in your business, this one is worth your time.

    Nadia Ellis: AI for the stuff you're bad at

    “AI for the Stuff You’re Bad At” with Nadia Ellis Nadia Ellis is back. Our very first guest returns for round two, and this time we’re getting into something both highly practical and deeply human: how to use AI to help with the stuff you’re just not great at. This episode is about those everyday moments where friction creeps in — staring at the blank page, trying to untangle your own thoughts, or drowning in information you’re supposed to do something with. And how AI can actually make life easier, if you know how to work with it. We talk about: How AI can fill in your blind spots and shore up your weaknesses Why AI might be the unexpected hero of an ageing workforce What happens when AI gives everyone a megaphone, but no one an editor The three big blockers: getting started, catching your thoughts, and cutting through the noise Why the next big human skill might be reviewing, not writing The productivity trap of AI workslop (and how to avoid it) From procrastination to productivity, neurodiversity to noisy inboxes, this episode is a warm, funny, and strategic look at how we can make AI work for us not the other way around.
