Why You Should Remove (Some) Boundaries in Your Relationship Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to our first NSFW Mission Daily episode, featuring awkward group massages, honest discussions about temptation, and our attempt at relationship advice.

As Steph continues to recount her more… experimental… experiences at Burning Man, she and Albert go down a rabbit hole about what you can learn from removing (or adding) boundaries in relationships.

Steph shares the benefits of letting your spouse run free, and why setting “bumper pads” to prevent them from failing may actually cause more anxiety and result in deteriorating trust. Albert gives a different take - he believes that if you know what tempts you, then it’s not helpful to be put in those situations.

The duo go back and forth in their signature banter-filled style, raising great points on either side.

Inside the Playa: Why a CEO and Mom Would Go to Burning Man Sep 02, 2023

Show notes

When someone says “Burning Man”, what do you visualize?

A bunch of hippies in the desert doing drugs, getting a little too intimate, and enjoying late-night raves?

Okay, maybe you aren’t that far off of reality… but as Stephanie will tell you, Burning Man is so much more than its stereotypes.

In this episode, Stephanie recounts her first “Burn” and tells Albert what she discovered at the experimental community of Burning Man.

From journeying into the miles-long Playa; to discovering interactive art exhibits you can’t find anywhere else; to showering naked with a bunch of strangers… Steph shares how beyond the neon lights, she found connection, acceptance, and freedom to be herself.

Key Points:

Burning Man is about self-expression, art, and human connection - not your stereotypical music festival.
Stephanie opens up about how the experience helped her overcome insecurities as a mom.
She describes the inclusive community where titles and status don't matter. People connect through shared interests vs superficial small talk.
Albert gets clarity on what actually goes down and who should consider making the desert pilgrimage.

Upcoming "Gutenberg Moments" - Are you ready? (And is your job safe?) Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

The landscape of our working world is shifting dramatically. From the rise of gig-economy positions to the increased use of AI tools at work, the dynamics of our employment paradigms are being rewritten.

Today, Albert and Steph take a deep dive into the “Gutenberg moments” of our time - the revolutionary moments of disruptive innovation that irrevocably change the landscape of life and work. They discuss how these moments are less about the inventions themselves and more about the societal shifts they represent.

As we approach a series of “Gutenberg moments”— notably the escalating utilization of automation and AI tools — the potential impact on employment as we know it is dramatic. As the type of work that can be done by, or aided by, machines continues to increase, being more than just competent at your job will become necessary for success. Flying under the radar will no longer suffice. You will have to stand out and demonstrate your true value. Tune in to find out how Albert and Steph recommend doing just that.

Plus, Steph shares her take on the controversial "fire and hire fast" and why she thinks full-time employment will become less common in the coming decade.

This episode will leave you contemplating upcoming Gutenberg moments, the future of work, and what it all means for you. What do you think is in store for future employers and employees? Share your thoughts with us at info@mission.org.

Why we need to invest in the companies driving AI innovation Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

At this point in 2023, ChatGPT isn’t just a hot trend – it’s already permeated all facets of our lives. And, just like it was with the internet 30 years ago, we are already losing sight of just how much technology it takes to make AI happen for the masses.

This week, Steph and Albert discuss the hidden aspects of AI intelligence. From the $30 million per day it costs in cloud computing, to the sheer amount of hardware power it takes to keep your AI assistant “alive,” to the hard realization that AI is still far from perfect BUT still may make some jobs irrelevant, it’s hardly an easy topic. But our hosts are up to the task.

Plus, they also take a deeper dive into the companies driving AI innovation (and which competitors may be worth researching as an investment sooner rather than later).

AI and ChatGPT are divisive, to be sure. Share your thoughts at info@mission.org.
