Ep 143 AI: AI Isn't a Tool Problem. It's a Culture Problem.

Four years into running CRZY, Stephen has watched AI go from an interesting experiment to an organizational crisis that almost nobody is naming correctly. The problem isn't which model you're using. It's not your stack, your workflow, or whether you've got the right prompts. The problem is culture — and most leaders are treating it like a hardware upgrade.In this episode, Stephen breaks down the most urgent shifts he's seeing inside teams and companies right now: why being "output drunk" is quietly destroying careers and brands, why speed is the new debt, why the organizational pyramid is flipping — and what happens to an entire generation of creative professionals if we don't start solving for that. He also gets into the practical: what you review in meetings, how you hire, what you kill, and why pre-mortems need to replace post-mortems before it's too late.This isn't a conversation about AI tools. It's a conversation about survival — and it's one almost nobody is having yet.Send us Fan MailSHOW NOTES AND MORE: https://thecrazy1.com/ WATCH MORE CONTENT ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@StephenGates WORK WITH CRZY: http://crzydesign.com/ FOLLOW THE CRAZY ONE: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook
