The Year-End Burnout Effect
Holiday Attitude Drift is when this stress spills over into the workplace. You’ll see a noticeable shift in an employee's demeanor.

Part 3 - Is AI a Threat, a Tool, or Both?
Host Marty kicked off the episode with this bold question. While fear might seem natural when new technology arises, his take was more measured. “Be cautious, be concerned, but don’t be afraid,” he noted. AI is already here, and it’s advancing rapidly. The question isn’t whether to use AI, but how to use it wisely. Joe chimed in with a similar mindset, emphasizing that while jobs and tools will evolve, history shows humans have always adapted.
