We start on music — why so much of what's on the radio right now feels hollow, why we think AI-generated music is coming whether we like it or not, and why we think that shift will actually push people back toward raw, communal, in-person music-making.
From there we get into money, and the feeling of being a "slave" to bills, careers, and the pressure to provide — including a genuinely different take on it from someone who grew up with very little and still calls it a great childhood. That leads into a candid conversation about how we each approach discipline with our own kids, where we land differently, and why we think phones at the dinner table are quietly reshaping how families relate to each other.
This one gets personal and a little unfiltered — consider this your heads-up going in. As always, these are our own experiences and opinions, not advice.
