I’m excited to share news about a new series from Darryl Cooper, host of the Martyr Made Podcast. His latest series is all about World War II, told from the perspective of ordinary Germans. It’s a fascinating look at how ideologies take hold and change societies. We’ll use that as a springboard to talk about how we receive and accept compliments, then dive into the software industrial complex and how it creates unnecessary dependencies. Finally we’ll look at how AI is going to simplify those systems and change industries. It’s a wild ride through history, human behavior and innovation.
