Your host, Josh Levine, talks with Paul Backett, Co-Founder and Creative Director. With AI automating entry-level tasks, are internships still worth it? On this episode of Great Mondays Radio Josh sits down with Paul Backett, Co-Founder of Evolve, a design and innovation agency that’s doubled down on cultivating junior talent. They explore how a thoughtful internship program can build culture, unlock creativity, and shape future leaders—even as efficiency becomes the name of the game. From live client work to surfboard rituals, this episode dives into what we lose when we stop investing in the next generation—and how we can start rebuilding the career ladder, one intern at a time.
