Unbranded

Join us for an engaging and insightful discussion as we explore the intricate dynamics of finding joy in podcasting, particularly after nearly a year of dedicated work. We reflect on the decision to continue, highlighting the immense joy it brings to us. Meet our team, with backgrounds ranging from video training and business mentorship to advertising and content production, and hear our candid experiences with online interactions. We discuss the varying nature of comments on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, sharing how we navigate the spectrum from supportive feedback to surprisingly harsh remarks, often finding humor in the negativity.

Our conversation then shifts to the fascinating world of AI and human interaction. We examine the contrasting attitudes toward free and paid digital tools, sharing personal anecdotes about AI-generated influencers and the uncanny way they mimic human qualities. Listen as we reveal the importance of the glimmer in one's eyes for AI influencers and ponder the potential of AI avatars attending Zoom meetings on behalf of users. Through amusing stories and practical insights, we weigh the practicality and current limitations of such technologies.

In this episode, we also touch on managing overstimulation, particularly in the context of autism, and the strategies we use to cope. The challenges of traditional networking events and the physical and emotional toll they can take are discussed, alongside alternative approaches to make these events more engaging. We explore the complexities of handling business reviews and testimonials, the impact of social media, and the rise and fall of platforms like Clubhouse.
