Break Room 10: Harrison & Chops: Youth Vs the (working) world

Chops had so much to ask 19-year old uni student, Harrison, about his generation... Which was unfair. However, he did the best he could to answer questions like: What do you think the working world is going to be like when you graduate? How motivated by money is your generation? How (face-to-face) social is your generation? Inevitably the conversation turned to Ai a few times, and it was sad to hear Harrison say that he had NO idea how Ai was going to impact the industry he's hoping to work in; and how after his 7-years at Uni (yep, 7), he's fully aware that he might not even get a job doing it, because the world will have changed so much. His worries aside, Harrison is having the time of his life at Uni, which in itself is an interesting reminder. Despite the astronomical costs of University now, it IS an amazing, liberating experience for young people (if done right). It's their first chance to be independent and in FULL control of their lives, without the pressures of day-to-day working (adult life).... Pressures that will grow and grow and which they'll spend the rest of their lives bearing. Putting all 'that' off for a few years has got to be good for the human soul and spirit, right?

Chat 90: Sara: A brilliant, multi-faceted Chartered Accountant...

Although Sara was always GREAT at maths, she actually pursued languages at college and Uni and then kind-of fell into accountancy, almost on a whim later on... Only to (go on and) absolutely boss it while working for some really big - and very complex and highly scrutinised - corporations. Then, when she had her kiddies and moved away from the corporate world and into smaller, self-employed 'practice' accountancy, Sara (of course) bossed that. Whilst also bossing it as a mum to three. And yet she doesn't necessarily see it that way; and like many of us, Sara is riddled with self-doubt and imposter syndrome.

Break Room 9: Gemma & Chops: Ai Vs the creative industry with IP and copyright

There is undoubtedly A LOT to unpack here, and we barely scratched the surface with Gemma, so this is likely a first of many chats like this, with many different guests. Our main focus, given Gemma's job as an IP and Trademark attorney, was to discuss Ai's impact on OG creators... The people that shot the images to start with; that established the design trends; that wrote the informative copy; that OWN the copyright and design rights to original content that Ai mines and harvests to create something new. Because 'in theory', it does create something new. It does what designers and writers have been doing for generations - taking inspiration from others - copying others to some extend (sometimes quite literally, hence why Gemma even has a job), and homogenising it into something new. The main issue we therefore discuss with Gemma, is 'how new' is new. Because the level of 'new' and the originality of the end product is what impacts copyright, as Gemma explains eloquently.

Instead, Luci is an unassuming, brilliant combination of charisma and innate capability; all of which have almost seamlessly propelled her down the amazing career path that she's had. A career that has has seen her work for some amazing names and travelled (and been based) around the world, making full use of her multi-language skills. Please meet the globetrotting, boss-bitching, Luci. . . . . ** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.
