One-Year Anniversary Gala! Backlash, Mentors, and the AI Ticking Clock

In this one-year anniversary episode the hosts reflect on 40 past shows, revisit major brand backlash stories (American Eagle, Victoria’s Secret, Cracker Barrel), and debate whether those controversies were overblown. They discuss mentorship—offering to take on protégés—and share candid guest conversations about client-agency honesty and crisis management. The episode closes with a wide-ranging talk on AI’s rapid rise and what it means for the future of creativity and careers.
