Businesses track client acquisition cost. We're tracking cost per inspiration.

In our first episode, cousins Luke Wiesner and David Cole share why two regular guys who feel late to the future started a show about it. We talk about where a regular person even starts with AI, why the best advice is to just fumble around, what it means to have a safe space to say "I don't know," and why the only expert right now is whoever is trying it the most. We also make the case that the people with the biggest concerns about AI are exactly the people who should be helping create the future. Our goal is simple: if this show inspires even one person to try, it's worth it.
