    Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.com In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines the deeper signals behind the week of April 6 to April 12, 2026: what did the U.S.-Iran negotiations really reveal about power and coercion, why was Viktor Orbán finally toppled in Hungary, and what does Melania Trump's rare Epstein denial say about elite panic and public trust? He also explores a cultural shift with big implications: in an AI-saturated world, is "made by humans" becoming the new premium label? What happens when authenticity becomes a luxury good? And who still has the credibility to persuade the public?

    483. Five Human Skills AI Can't Fake

    Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.com In this episode from The Work Ethic Podcast, host Bidemi Ologunde explores five human skills AI can't fake and asks a timely question: now that AI can draft, summarize, and automate so much, what becomes even more valuable because AI exists? What separates people who merely use AI from those who truly stand out? Why are communication, judgment, leadership, empathy, and taste becoming such critical advantages for students, creators, operators, managers, and builders? Bidemi breaks down practical systems, real-life examples, and a healthier path to sustainable excellence that is not tied to hustle culture. Listeners will also get this week's challenge: intentionally add a human layer to one AI-assisted task each day and share what changed inside the show's private WhatsApp Community.

    Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.com In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde connects four seemingly separate stories into one bigger question about power, trust, and everyday life: What does the U.S. rescue mission in Iran reveal about the risk of wider conflict? What does Hungary's chaotic election season say about democratic legitimacy under pressure? Why are more governments moving to restrict teens' access to social media, and what problem are they really trying to solve? And as product prices keep rising across essential categories, who pays first, and who benefits? This is a sharp, global look at the signals shaping politics, markets, and public life right now.

    480. Agentic AI vs. The SaaSpocalypse

    Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.com In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde breaks down the recent "SaaSpocalypse," the sudden market shock that sent software stocks tumbling as investors grappled with a new reality: what happens when AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic start offering capabilities that look a lot like traditional SaaS, but at a fraction of the cost? Why did so many once-defensible software businesses lose huge chunks of value in just days? Are AI agents about to crush the per-seat software model, or is this panic getting ahead of the facts? And in a world where the software can now do the work, what exactly will customers still be willing to pay for?  Sponsors and partners: Promeed: 100% mulberry silk pillowcases and bedding that feel incredibly soft, stay breathable, and are naturally gentle on hair and skin.

    479. Chris Rhyss Edwards

    Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.com In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde sits down with Chris Rhyss Edwards, a writer, doctoral researcher, former Australian Army combat engineer, and the founder of FOLQ.ai to explore why so many people are turning to AI chatbots for emotional support before they ever speak to another human. Drawing from lived experience with PTSD and his research into conversational AI and mental wellbeing, Chris examines a difficult but timely question: what does it say about our world when people feel safer talking to machines than to each other? Together, they unpack silence, stigma, loneliness, trust, and the rise of AI as a "first listener." Is this a breakthrough in access and support, or a warning sign about the systems and relationships failing us? And how can AI help without replacing the human connection people still need most?

    Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.com In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines the the key global signals from March 23 to March 29, 2026, connecting U.S. troop deployments in the Middle East, the UK's aggressive AI push, the battle over school lunches under the MAHA agenda, and growing accusations that the timing of Trump's Iran war announcements may be moving markets. Are these isolated headlines, or pieces of a larger story about power, trust, and state capacity? Is Britain's AI gamble a blueprint for growth or a risky bet in an unstable world? Can MAHA-style school lunch reform survive the realities of budgets and infrastructure? And when war messaging appears to line up with major trades, what does that do to public confidence in markets and government?
