Live with Carrie + Jannie

Overdoing it on your child's birthday on purpose, how AI is not-so-slowly infiltrating our work and challenging us on how we think about creativity (and how to teach it), Carrie's TedTalk on one TikTok video, don't worry we're still in our lawn mowing, garden, and birding era... We're getting ready for classes but summer's not over yet!

Why AI makes Carrie want to watch the birds, why Jannie must mow the lawn at least once a week, what it's like to have a communal experience over the Knicks in NYC (and how it may be the first positive one for younger generations), getting ready for classes, always more research (nerd nerd nerd), and all of the other work and life projects we're thinking about.

Special guest Taylor Welch joins and talks Fortnite, what we're using AI for, what we're not, Jannie thoughts on web design, new backyard patios and projects, what Carrie learned very recently about birds, exciting pop culture news from the fam...

The semester is over, how/why the creator economy is more than just TikToks, Carrie's first book, The PR Writing Workshop debuts June 11, and how you probably shouldn't answer the random life questions kids ask you before bed.
