Henry Blanchard and Kirsty Hulse talk AI, the future of work, and staying human (and solvent) in the chaos year of 2026.

In this episode: GPT-6 Astra is released, learning about life & work through standup comedy, find the one thing you're good at, going pro as a social media creator. You know the drill: lots of personal stories in the first half, lots of spicy & vital work & AI takes in the second half.

Kirsty is going pro, which currently means being visibly seen trying, which is the worst.
