| 0:00.0 | Hello, beautiful beans and welcome to the podcast episode of today. I have a listener question episode. |
| 0:23.7 | I've had so many questions come through. And I did say I was cutting down on the head noise |
| 0:28.4 | episodes, which I have, but there's just, I've literally been like a bombarded. I think you guys |
| 0:34.0 | are like, don't get rid of the head noise episodes. I'm not getting rid of them. I'm just not making it a weekly thing. So sometimes it'll be kind of more regular. |
| 0:42.5 | Sometimes it'll be less. I'm just trying to bring in more of the psychology, social psychology things during the week as well. |
| 0:49.2 | But I would never completely get rid of these listener question episodes as I personally love doing them and I love |
| 0:55.7 | reading out your questions or playing out your questions. So this one is an email question. |

| 1:34.2 | AI agents into our workplace and have not been coy about the fact that they plan to change |
| 1:39.3 | our workplace with them, aka redundancies in the immediate future. I won't lie, it feels a lot like we are |
| 1:45.7 | training the bots to take over our roles. While I feel like I have enough room to hopefully |
| 1:51.2 | pivot to a new career, I'm finding myself more and more concerned or terrified, really, for my |
| 1:56.3 | children and the way and the world that they are growing up into. I know that every generation |
| 2:00.5 | has challenges, but it is difficult to feel hopeful with the current state of the world and the way and the world that they are growing up into. I know that every generation has challenges, |
| 2:01.7 | but it is difficult to feel hopeful with the current state of the world and the challenges they |
| 2:05.5 | likely will face. What are some effective strategies to find hope again? So this is a really good question. |
