S02E10 Leap of Faith

Harbinger of revolution or overblown hype AI, is casting a shadow of doubt over all projected futures and that's only the headliner.
In this episode we discuss how to be swept along by the Coming Wave rather than obliterated by it.
Its a time for bold moves, rejecting the allure of the safe and sensible and having the wisdom to take what today seems the crazy option, one that only makes sense with some very deep reflection or the blessing of hindsight.
Darrell and Shana have helped others successfully take the leap of faith and have experienced first hand the sad fate of those who didn't, so who better to ask?

S2E04 Instinct

Instinct is potentially a highly powerful creative tool, one that is largely shunned in western society as it is hard to define, tricky to measure and like AI no one really knows what is going on inside the box. Shana, Darrell and Mikey try to pin down the jello.
Darrell thinks he has the answer, Mikey knows he has and Shana provides a grounding dose of reality.
