How We Work - with Iso Rabins

Ai love affairs and the search for my Apu

In this episode, I'm hitting pause and taking a little break. It's a chance for me to step back, reflect, and steer us into a new direction that's been on my mind: the fascinating interplay between humans and AI. But don't worry – we're not going to get bogged down in tech speak. I'm more interested in how AI is reshaping our daily lives, our connections, and even our self-perception. I recently had an eye-opening chat about the future importance of soft skills in an AI-centric world. It's becoming clear that as machines take on more of the hard skills, our uniquely human qualities like empathy, creativity, and the ability to connect genuinely are becoming our superpowers. There's a beautiful irony in how AI might be nudging us to become more human, to value the imperfections that make us real. And there's a topic that might surprise you: the emergence of relationships with AI. Think 'Her' the movie, but in real life. It's a reality for some, and it's a conversation I'm diving into with an open mind. What's driving this shift? How is it reflecting on our current state of human relationships? These are the questions I want to explore with you. So, while I'm taking this break and embarking on my own journey of discovery in Peru, I'm inviting you to ponder these shifts with me. It's a search for understanding, for connection, and maybe even for finding our own 'Apu' – that place or state where we feel most at home, most ourselves.

The next step for the podcast

In this episode, I'm sharing some thoughts on where we're heading with this podcast. I've loved every bit of this journey – the interviews, the editing, and just the chance to dive into fascinating conversations. It's been exactly what I hoped for. I'm gearing up for a big trip, starting in Peru and then maybe jetting off to Vietnam, Japan, and Europe. It's about seeking my next step, getting out of my creative comfort zone, and experiencing life differently. It's exciting, yet a bit daunting to step away from the stability I've built here. One thing that's been on my mind a lot lately is artificial intelligence. It's not just the technology that intrigues me, but its impact on us as humans. From the way it's transforming work to its potential effects on education and personal relationships, AI is reshaping our world in profound ways. I'm considering steering our podcast in this direction, exploring personal stories and real-life implications of AI. Whether it's a teacher grappling with AI in the classroom or how it's affecting relationships, I believe there's a wealth of untapped stories there. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this potential shift. Are you as intrigued by AI and its human side as I am? What aspects of AI's impact on our lives would you be interested in exploring together?  Thank you for joining me on this episode. Your support keeps this podcast going, and I'm excited about the possibilities ahead.  Stay in touch: Website: www.howwe.work [http://www.howwe.work] Email: iso@howwe.work Instagram: @howwe.work

How to start the farm dinner movement on Elvis's bus - Katy Oursler

In this week's episode, I had the amazing opportunity to talk with Katy Oursler. From her early days on the East Coast to creating impactful food experiences, Katy's story is about more than just meals; it's about connecting people and building community. Our conversation explored various aspects of Katy's journey. We delved into how she values farmers and their produce, creating a deeper connection between consumers and the source of their food. Katy shared fascinating stories about her improvisational cooking skills, like using fig leaves as dessert plates in a pinch, highlighting the fun and authenticity in such spontaneous moments. We also discussed the rise of the farm-to-table movement and how people's desire for new food experiences has grown, especially in connecting with those who cook and grow the ingredients. Katy's involvement with World Central Kitchen during crises like the pandemic and natural disasters showcased her proactive approach to supporting local chefs and farms. Perhaps the most heartening part of our talk was hearing Katy's reflections on pursuing personal goals and projects. Her desire to overcome inhibitions and chase her passions resonates with many of us striving to make our mark in the world. So, if you're interested in how food can bring people together and create a sense of community, or if you're just looking to be inspired by someone who's making a difference, this episode with Katy is for you.
