AI Sent Me Into a Depression: A Raw Conversation on The Future of Work | COS Business Podcast

June 13

1h 28m

Episode Description

What happens when the technology meant to help us sends us into a depression? In this raw and unfiltered episode, hosts Marcus and Andrew turn the mics on themselves to confront the dark side of AI, the future of creative jobs, and the psychological price of entrepreneurship.

This isn't just a business discussion; it's a vulnerable look at the existential threats and opportunities we all face. We explore why the gap between an "AI user" and an "AI master" is growing daily, whether successful entrepreneurs are inherently delusional, and the single most important lesson we've learned about mentorship on our journey. If you're a creative, an entrepreneur, or anyone concerned about the future of work, this conversation is essential.
