If AI has ever made you feel equal parts excited, overwhelmed, and mildly convinced your laptop is judging you…you’re in the right place. The future of work isn’t sci-fi anymore, it’s here, it’s accessible, and it’s far more everyday-human than you’d expect.

I sat down with Martin Waxman, who has a gift for making emerging tech feel practical, not panic-inducing. Martin breaks down how to make AI work with you, why being a “subject matter nerd” still matters, and how to prompt with clarity. We also get real about what AI can and simply can’t do for creativity, copywriting, marketing, and cross-cultural communication. AI’s here to boost your ideas, not steal the mic.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to tackle the fear of obsolescence in the AI age
- Turning AI tools into creative partners, not just taskmasters
- Practical ways stay curious and keep your edge
- Ways to experiment with AI responsibly without risking data or authenticity
- How using AI can open new doors and where the pitfalls hide

Feeling overwhelmed by shiny new platforms and endless updates? This episode is your cheat sheet for making AI less intimidating and way more useful. Discover how a mix of play, curiosity, and a little intentional “nothingness” can keep you ahead—while keeping the human at the center of your workflow.
