Dans cet extrait de l'épisode [Sur le Zinc #5 - L'art des craft beer et craft sodas], Remy Maurin, co-fondateur de Mashy, partage son avis sur l'avenir du « craft soda ». Malgré le fait qu'ils restent influencés et dominés par les grandes catégories de boissons industrielles, mais aussi limités par l'exigence des consommateurs en terme de goût et de sucre, ces nouvelles recettes font de plus en plus leur apparition dans les grandes surfaces et les restaurants. Cette tendance des sodas innovants et vertueux, Rémy l'observe dans sa mission d'accompagnement de marques. Qu'est ce qu'un craft soda ? Sur quels engagements se positionnent les nouvelles marques ? En quoi le marché du craft soda pousse les marques industrielles à imiter la tendance « faible en sucre » ou « arômes naturels » ? Le marché va-t-il finir par saturer, et si oui, quelles boissons survivront en 2050 ?

The third wave of coffee connoisseurship is here, where beans are sourced from farms rather than countries and roasting is about bringing out the unique taste characteristics of each bean. Artisanal roasteries are plentiful in the Bay Area , Seattle and Portland, all of which are historic coffee regions and towns. Brew Bird brings craft coffee making to the office from the cafe.
In this episode, we chat with Ricus Grimbeek, an experienced mining executive with more than three decades of leadership across major mining operations and Executive Chair of Makor Resources, a company focused on building a district-scale copper platform in Zambia. Throughout the conversation, we explore what attracted Ricus to Makor at this stage of his career, why he believes Zambia remains one of the most misunderstood copper opportunities globally, and how long-term consolidation strategies differ from the traditional junior mining model. We also discuss the realities of building scalable mining businesses, the importance of social licence and stakeholder alignment, and what separates projects with genuine scale potential from those driven purely by market narrative. In addition, Ricus shares his thoughts on one of mining's biggest long-term challenges, responsibly integrating artisanal and small-scale mining into the broader mining economy through initiatives like Mine-Hive and why the industry must rethink how future copper supply is discovered, developed, and delivered if it's going to meet growing global demand over the coming decades. This episode is brought to you by Mining International, a global executive search partner to the mining industry. For bespoke search and advisory services, please visit www.mining-international.org KEY TAKEAWAYS True project scale in modern copper mining often relies on consolidating smaller, high-grade deposits across a specific district to feed a central processing facility, rather than searching for one rare mega-deposit. Securing a social license to operate is a privilege that must be actively earned from day one through genuine, hands-on community engagement, rather than treated as a distant, compliance-driven metric. The artisanal and small-scale mining sectors comprise ninety percent of the global mining workforce but remain severely underrepresented and locked out of crucial developmental capital. Mining company failures typically stem from systemic human leadership gaps and unaddressed operational risks during the execution phase, rather than a failure to find resources. BEST MOMENTS “We actually get asked to come and operate in certain communities because of the way we operate." "True scale in a lot of places will look like that... it's not necessarily going to be the one large, big asset that that makes a company." "You don't necessarily need to spend millions of dollars to make a big difference in people's lives" "Artisanal and small-scale mining is basically ninety percent of the mining industry's workforce... and they are totally underrepresented and they really struggle to get access to capital.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ---- Greg Williams has joined EV as Executive Editor — two years in the search. He was editor-in-chief of WIRED UK, recognized as Editor of the Year (Technology) three times, and is a five-time novelist. Introducing him to our community in this week's episode became an opportunity to redefine what EV is: why we make maps instead of stories, and where I think AI is taking institutional media.

Welcome into a captivating journey through the hidden and historical world of Japanese tattooing with journalist, author, and cultural expert, Manami Okazaki. In this episode, we explore the dramatic evolution of tattoo media, tracing the shift from the expertly curated pages of traditional magazines to the fast-paced landscape of social media. Manami eloquently explains how the profound, artisanal essence of this craft is often distorted by modern online trends, where popularity rarely reflects true skill and young artists frequently copy designs without understanding their culturally deep source material. Drawing from over two decades of experience, she shares her incredible stories of documenting Japan's vibrant tattoo boom, navigating a complex underworld of shifting characters. Our conversation delves into the deeply rooted philosophy of downtown Tokyo's artisans. We discuss the intense atmosphere of local celebrations like the Torigoe Matsuri and the vital, living connections between traditional Wabori, religious practices, and seasonal folklore. Manami also offers a refreshing and fascinating perspective on cultural exchange. Finally, we explore the rich historical context of her work, including her books "Tattoo in Japan" and her newest "Fights and Fires of the Flowers of Edo." She unpacks the transient, high-spirited nature of Edo-period firefighters, carpenters, and Yakuza, highlighting a culture historically intertwined with the constant consciousness of death. This conversation is a vital and humbling reflection on what it takes to truly preserve the heritage, depth, and community spirit of Japanese artisanal tattooing well beyond mere visual appeal.

The Belgian designer Glenn Martens is surely one of the busiest men in fashion, holding Creative Director roles at both Maison Margiela and Diesel. Martens invited The Run-Through to Margiela's Paris headquarters during fashion week to talk about his new collection that showed yesterday in Shanghai.Martens presented both his ready-to-wear and Artisanal couture collections together, accompanied by four exhibitions across China, each dedicated to a founding code of the house. The exhibitions will bring the brand's history to Chinese audiences, covering everything from the iconic “bianchetto” white painting tradition to the house's long philosophy of anonymity. “We love clothes and craftsmanship and garments,” Martens said. “We don't want to focus on the person wearing it."Martens unpacks the artistic vision behind his third collection for the house, which draws on porcelain dolls and Margiela's instinct for finding luxury in the overlooked. Martens' team combed secondhand markets for 19th-century gowns and furniture, which were transformed through extraordinary techniques, including dresses dipped entirely in beeswax.Martens also reveals the secret weapon he used to win over the studio team in his first weeks on the job: his absolutely adorable border terrier, Murphy. "Everybody was smiling, the doors opened, people were screaming, playing around," he said. Murphy has since been gifted his own miniature lab coat.When it comes to sustaining the creative demands of running two major houses simultaneously, Martens credits countryside weekends as his saving grace — including a Christmas gift he bought himself: a bulldozer for planting trees. "I felt like a proper boy," he said.Looking at the big picture, Glenn wants to keep having fun. “At the end of the day… that's the reason why we started fashion: because it brings joy.”The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Sur le Zinc d'Écotable, c'est la nouvelle série de podcasts dédiée à l'engagement autour de la boisson. En 6 épisodes, Chef Damien, fondateur des sachets de boissons à infuser Necense et chef de 750g La table, part à la rencontre de celles et ceux qui s'engagent pour rendre le monde de la boisson plus durable. Dans ce deuxième épisode, Chef Damien rencontre Kevin Arquillo, fondateur du label Zéro Boisson Industrielle (ZEBI). Fils et petit-fils de restaurateurs, Kevin a baigné dans l'univers de la restauration, mais y a vu un problème majeur : peu importe la qualité et la durabilité des plats servis dans les restaurants… les sodas ultra-sucrés et industriels figurent parmi les seules options pour s'hydrater. Afin d'éveiller les consciences sur les nombreux problèmes liés aux boissons industrielles - écologiques mais aussi de santé publique -, il a donc créé ZEBI, le label qui accompagne les restaurateurs vers un modèle zéro boisson industrielle. Dans cet épisode, on s'interroge… Sur l'histoire de la boisson industrielle: qu'est ce qui a mené à une telle domination des marques industrielles ?Sur l'impact sanitaire et écologique de ces boissons: en quoi faudrait-il réguler cette domination, qui se fait au détriment de notre santé et de nos écosystèmes ? Et sur l'espoir que porte Kevin autour des nouvelles pratiques: quel avenir pour les boissons artisanales ?

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITBrace yourself for a rapid-fire ride through the final stretch of our show: candid, punchy, and a little unhinged in the best way. We start with the countdown to the end and jump straight into a Fox News flare-up, using Greg Gutfeld's on-air clash as a window into how immigration rhetoric, moral certainty, and online applause shape what we call truth. It's a look at media ecosystems where heroes are crowned by viral clips and outrage becomes currency.The mood flips to music as we unpack a rumored Springsteen protest track aimed at ICE. Do celebrity anthems still persuade anyone, or just preach to loyal fans? We break down why protest music lands flat when it leans on caricature and why satire gets traction when listeners are tired of being lectured. That conversation opens a broader thread about nostalgia: some icons age into legend, others into memes, and our memories do the sorting.From stadiums to storefronts, we examine the downfall of an “artisanal” era through the $22 grilled cheese that couldn't survive public mockery and tighter budgets. It's a small headline with big implications: value signaling vs actual value, pricing power in a shaky economy, and the risk of building a brand around a trend that's past its peak. Then we go full visceral with a 202-pound Florida python wrestled by a family of snake hunters—equal parts nightmare fuel and reluctant gratitude for the people who take on what the rest of us won't.The most controversial stop is a viral profile of a 73-year-old grandmother who left decades of celibacy for escorting and adult content. We push on skepticism, dignity, and the attention economy that blurs survival, choice, and spectacle. Agree or disagree with the takes, you'll feel something—and that's the point. We close by shifting the energy back to you with a question that anchors all the noise in something personal and warm: who ruled your high school playlist?If this mix of hot takes, cultural autopsies, and strange headlines hits your sweet spot, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves a good rant, and leave a quick review telling us your high school favorite artist.

Dans la préfecture de Siguiri, dans le nord-est de la Guinée, région riche en or, l'orpaillage artisanal est l'activité économique qui emploie le plus. Selon des estimations, plus de 200 000 personnes en tirent un revenu direct. Mais, cette activité présente des risques. Régulièrement, des puits s'effondrent sur les mineurs. Les sites d'orpaillage bénéficient certes de l'assistance de la Croix-Rouge pour les secours, mais cela ne suffit pas toujours. De notre envoyé spécial à Siguiri, Au fond de son puits d'une dizaine de mètres, Sidiki remplit des seaux de boue et de roches qu'il a extraites avec sa pioche. Quand le seau est plein, il est remonté avec une corde par des personnes restées à la surface. Si les orpailleurs ont de la chance, ils y trouveront de la poussière d'or. Sidiki remonte à la surface, ses vêtements sont recouverts de boue, son visage aussi. Il a une quarantaine d'années, cela fait vingt ans qu'il est mineur, et il a déjà connu un accident. « C'est un travail difficile, témoigne le mineur. J'ai déjà vu un éboulement sur d'autres mineurs. Et moi, ça m'est aussi arrivé une fois : j'étais dans le puits, j'ai cherché à me lever, il y a eu un bruit puis ça s'est effondré. J'ai crié et cinq personnes sont venues m'aider : ils ont creusé pour enlever la terre et j'ai pu sortir. Mon corps était entièrement enseveli, sauf ma tête. J'ai eu de la chance. » Et même s'il a vécu cet épisode traumatisant, il continue à descendre. « Malgré ça, je n'ai pas peur. Je n'ai pas d'autre travail donc je continue de faire ça pour nourrir ma famille », explique-t-il. « Il a eu de la chance, mais il est maintenant handicapé » Mounir, lui, reste à la surface pour remonter les seaux. Il a 18 ans, il était chauffeur, mais un accident lui a causé des problèmes de vue, alors il travaille ici depuis deux ans. Quand il a débuté, il descendait dans les puits, mais il a arrêté à cause du danger que cela représente. « C'est très profond, c'est obscur et on a du mal à respirer quand on est au fond. J'ai déjà vu un éboulement, tout s'est effondré sur le creuseur. Les autres ont pu le sortir, il a eu de la chance, mais il est maintenant handicapé. Ses hanches sont abîmées, il ne peut plus marcher normalement. Depuis, ça me fait peur. Même si on gagne plus d'argent quand on descend, je ne veux plus le faire », détaille Mounir. Souvent, les accidents se produisent à cause de négligences. « Généralement, c'est lorsque les consignes de sécurité ne sont pas appliquées », déplore M'Bemba Bayo, le président de la Croix-Rouge dans la préfecture de Siguiri. « Là où on creuse et qu'il y a faille, les traditionnels sont informés et ils interdisent et balisent la zone pour interdire l'accès au site. Mais si vous ne respectez pas les consignes de sécurité et que vous descendez en l'absence des chefs traditionnels, s'il y a effondrement, c'est que vous n'avez pas respecté », détaille-t-il. En cas d'effondrement, la Croix-Rouge aide les orpailleurs à sortir les victimes, à leur appliquer les premiers soins et à les évacuer vers un centre de santé. Malgré ces risques, le cours élevé de l'or incite toujours plus d'orpailleurs à creuser le sol pour en trouver.

Books Discussed in This Episode Becoming You: The Proven Method for Crafting Your Authentic Life and Career by Suzy Welch. A practical and reflective guide to discovering your true values and aligning them with your career and life choices. Welch offers tools and frameworks to help listeners clarify who they are, what they want, and how to build a life that fits. Mastesr of the Word: How Media Shaped History by William J. Bernstein. Bernstein traces the sweeping history of media, from the invention of writing in ancient Mesopotamia to the rise of the mobile internet. From the spread of alphabets and vernacular Bibles to the printing press, mass media, and digital networks, the book shows how shifts in information access have fueled empires, revolutions, democracy, and dissent. At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson. A fascinating room-by-room exploration of how everyday domestic life evolved. Bryson uses his own home as a jumping-off point to uncover surprising histories behind bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and the objects we take for granted. The World in a Wineglass: The Insider's Guide to Artisanal, Sustainable, Extraordinary Wines to Drink Now by Ray Isle. A global tour of wine told through people, place, and philosophy. Ray Isle highlights independent, sustainability-minded winemakers and shows how wine reflects culture, geography, and values — not just tasting notes. Stitching Freedom: A True Story of Injustice, Defiance, and Hope in Angola Prison by Gary Tyler. Gary Tyler — who was wrongfully incarcerated for nearly 42 years — tells a powerful story of survival, justice, and creative resistance. While imprisoned, Tyler turned to quilting as a means of expression, healing, and political testimony, transforming fabric into visual records of racism, resilience, and hope. The book explores how art can become a lifeline under extreme conditions and how storytelling, even when stitched rather than spoken, can reclaim dignity and freedom in the face of systemic injustice. Surviving Paris: A Memoir of Healing in the City of Light by Robin Allison Davis. A deeply personal memoir about moving to Paris in search of reinvention — and instead confronting breast cancer far from home. Allison Davis reflects on illness, identity, friendship, and resilience while navigating a foreign healthcare system and rebuilding her sense of self in the City of Light. The Stolen Crown: Treachery, Deceit, and the Death of the Tudor Dynasty by Tracy Borman. Royal historian Tracy Borman challenges long-held assumptions about the English succession after Queen Elizabeth I's death. Using new archival evidence, she reveals a far more fragile and politically charged transfer of power than history has traditionally acknowledged.

Welcome back, Conan Neutron! Conan's got a new Secret Friends album out called The Way Of The Neutron. The process and circumstances Conan went through creating this album are the inspiration for this episode.It's all about integrity and perseverance…and a little bit of artisanal sand. But Conan and I thought that maybe, somewhere out there, one listener of this podcast could use a little bit of encouragement. Perhaps knowing that you're not alone in feeling frustrated about the work you're doing, might be helpful to someone. So here we are, me and Conan Neutron, talking about how staying the course can pay off, eventually. You won't know how. It may not be exactly what you're thinking at the moment. But keep creating because you'll never know if you quit doing it. You create your own definition of success. Check out Conan Neutron on socials. Listen to and purchase The Way Of The Neutron.

En Haute-Guinée, région frontalière du Mali, l'exploitation artisanale de l'or est la principale activité économique, et emploie une grande part de la population. Mais cette activité n'est pas sans risques. De notre correspondant à Conakry, Dimanche 26 octobre, deux éboulements se sont produits sur deux sites miniers de la sous-préfecture de Kintinian, dans la préfecture de Siguiri, faisant huit morts. M'Bemba Baye est le président de la Croix-Rouge dans la préfecture de Siguiri. Il s'est rendu sur place dès qu'il a appris la nouvelle. « Il y a eu l'effondrement d'une partie, qui a glissé sur les travailleurs, sur le premier site. Sous les décombres, six personnes sur place ont perdu la vie. Les six personnes ont été évacuées à l'hôpital préfectoral de Siguiri. Le lendemain, un a succombé à ses blessures. Le total fait sept morts, le même jour. Sur le deuxième site, il y a eu un autre d'éboulement, un glissement, il y a eu un cas de mort aussi. Ce corps a été extrait des décombres par les volontaires de la Croix-Rouge de la place », raconte-t-il. Ce ne sont pas des galeries qui se sont écroulées, mais, sur le premier site, une excavation, ce gros trou creusé par les orpailleurs avec l'aide de pelles mécaniques. Sur le deuxième site, c'est un terril qui s'est écroulé : une petite montagne de déchets miniers d'une entreprise industrielle dans lequel des orpailleurs cherchent de la poussière d'or. Depuis une dizaine d'années, les mineurs artisanaux utilisent de plus en plus de machines, mais leur usage mal maîtrisé les met en danger, comme l'explique Anna Dessertine de l'Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD) : « Les pratiques sont très diverses puisque certains creusent à la pioche, d'autres utilisent des engins comme des concasseurs ou des pelles hydrauliques. Un des éboulements de dimanche, ce serait produit sur un site déjà fragilisé par les pelles hydrauliques, avant que des orpailleurs ne viennent à la pioche. La mécanisation pose question. Elle investit les sols différemment, elle crée des instabilités qui n'existaient pas forcément quand l'exploitation était seulement artisanale, bien que l'exploitation artisanale de toute façon comporte aussi des risques. Peu de gardes fous sont mis en place pour assurer la sécurité des orpailleurs qui travaillent de façon très rudimentaire. » Pour Oumar Totiya Barry, directeur de l'Observatoire guinéen des mines et des métaux (OGMM), il faut mieux réglementer l'orpaillage artisanal. Le chercheur plaide pour que l'État s'implique davantage : « L'État doit faire un travail d'identification de toutes les zones qui portent des risques d'éboulement. Donc délimiter les sites et mettre les orpailleurs sur des zones qui portent moins de risques. Et les zones à risques, les surveiller et les protéger contre toute intrusion de personnes non autorisées. » En attendant, les orpailleurs continuent de creuser partout dans la préfecture de Siguiri, parfois au péril de leur vie, donc, pour nourrir leurs familles. Une grande partie de la population de la Haute-Guinée vit directement ou indirectement des revenus de l'orpaillage artisanal.

“Why did you launch yet another voice dictation app?” I asked Dan Shipper, founder of Every. I thought he’d tell me that there was some kind of research that showed people needed another one. Nah. It came down to his team’s taste and personal preference. They just wanted something different. So a single creator on the team built it. AI makes it easier for more people to create apps. So what’s the differentiator? From what I got in this interview — over and over — it’s the creator’s taste. Dan Shipper is the founder and CEO of Every, a hybrid media and software company creating AI-powered tools for productivity and creativity. The company publishes one of the most widely read newsletters on technology and builds products like Monologue (AI dictation), Spiral (AI ghostwriting), and Cora (AI email assistant).

that even the hardest rock can be transformed."Ca: "Les paraules de Ferran van tocar alguna cosa dins de Joan.En: Ferran's words touched something inside Joan.Ca: Va veure no només una muntanya feta

porta és el que realment li dona vida i profunditat.En: He had learned that a beautiful object can be valuable, but its story and the personal meaning it carries are what truly give it life and

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the battle between artisanal, handcrafted, organic content and machine-made. The Etsys versus the Amazons. We’re talking specifically about the use of AI to make stuff. Katie, you had some thoughts and some things you’re wrestling with about this topic, so why don’t you set the table, if you will. Katie Robbert – 00:22 It’s interesting because we always talk about people first and AI forward and using these tools. I feel like what’s happened is now there’s a bit of a stigma around something that’s AI-generated. If you used AI, you’re cheating or you’re shortcutting or it’s no longer an original thought. I feel like in some circumstances that’s true. However, there are other circumstances, other situations, where using something like generative AI can perhaps get you past a roadblock. For example, if you haven’t downloaded it yet, please go ahead and download our free AI strategy kit. The AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit, which you can find at TrustInsights AIkit, I took just about everything I know about running Trust Insights and I used generative AI to help me compile all of that information. Katie Robbert – 01:34 Then I, the human, went through, refined it, edited, made sure it was accurate, and I put it all into this kit. It has frameworks, examples, stories—everything you could use to be successful. Now I’m using generative AI to help me build it out as a course. I had a moment this morning where I was like, I really shouldn’t be using generative AI. I should be doing this myself because now it’s disingenuous, it’s not authentic, it’s not me because the tool is creating it faster. Then I stopped and I actually read through what was being created. It wasn’t just a simple create a course for me. Katie Robbert – 02:22 It was all my background and the Katie prompt and all of my refinements and expertise, and it wasn’t just a 2-second thing. I’ve been working on this for three straight days now, and that’s all I’ve been doing. So now I actually have an outline. But that’s not all I have. I have a lot more work to do. So I bring this all up to say, I feel like we get this stigma of, if I’m using generative AI, I’m cheating or I’m shortcutting or it’s not me. I had to step back and go, I myself, the human, would have written these exact words. It’s just written it for me and it’s done it faster. I’ve gotten past that “I can’t do it” excuse because now it’s done. Katie Robbert – 03:05 So Chris, what are your reactions to that kind of overthinking of using generative AI? Christopher S. Penn – 03:14 I have some very strong reactions and strong words for that sort of thinking, but I will put it in professional terms. We’re going to start with the 5 Ps. Katie Robbert – 03:25 Surprise, surprise. Christopher S. Penn – 03:27 What is the purpose of the content, and how do you measure the performance? If I write a book with generative AI, if you build a course with generative AI, does the content fulfill the purpose of helping a marketer or a business person do the thing? Do they deploy AI correctly after going through the TRIPS framework, or do they prompt better using the Repel framework, which is the fifth P—performance? If we make the thing and they consume the thing and it helps them, mission accomplished. Who cares who wrote it? Who cares how it’s written? If it accomplishes the purpose and benefits our customer—as a marketer, as a business person—that’s what we should be caring about, not whether AI made it or not. Christopher S. Penn – 04:16 A lot of the angst about the artisanal, handcrafted, organic, farm-raised, grass-fed content that’s out there is somewhat narcissistic on behalf of the marketers. I will say this. I understand the reason for it. I understand the motivation and understand the emotional concern—holy crap, this thing’s doing my job better than I do it! Because it made a course for me in 4 hours, it made a book for me in 2 hours, and it’s as good as I would have done it, or maybe better than I would have done it. There is that element of, if it does it, then what do I do? What value do I bring? You said it perfectly, Katie. It’s your ideas, it’s your content, it’s your guidance. Christopher S. Penn – 05:05 No one in corporate America or anywhere says to the CEO, you didn’t make these products. So Walmart, this is just not a valid product because the CEO did not handcraft this product. No, that’s ridiculous. You have manufacturers, you have subcontractors, you have partners and vendors that make the thing that you, as the CEO, represent the company and say, ‘Hey, this company made this thing.’ Look, here’s a metal scrubby for your grill. We have proven as consumers, we don’t actually care where it’s made. We just want it faster, cheaper, and better. We want a metal scrubby that’s a dollar less than the last metal scrubby we bought. So that’s my reaction: the people who are most vociferous, understandably and justifiably, are concerned about their welfare. Christopher S. Penn – 05:55 They’re concerned about their prospects of work. But if we take a step back as business people—as marketers—is what we’re making helping the customer? Now, there’s plenty of use cases of AI slop that isn’t helping anybody. Clearly that’s not what we’re talking about. In the example we’re talking about here with you, Katie, we’re talking about you distilling you into a form that’s going to help the customer. Katie Robbert – 06:21 That was the mental hurdle I had to get over. Because when I took a look at everything I was creating, yes, it’s a shortcut, but not a cheat. It’s a shortcut in that it’s just generating my words a little bit faster than I might because I’m a slow writer. I still had to do all of the foundational work. I still had to have 25 years of experience in my field. I still have to have solid, proven frameworks that I can go back to time and time again. I still have to be able to explain how to use them and when to use them and how to put all the pieces together. Generative AI will take a stab at it. If I don’t give it all that information, it’ll get it wrong. Katie Robbert – 07:19 So I still have to do the work. I still have to put all of that information in. So I guess what I’m coming to is, it feels like it’s moving faster, but I’m still looking at a mountain of work ahead of me in order to get this thing out the door. I keep talking about it now because it’s an accountability thing. If I keep saying it’s going to happen, people will start asking, ‘Hey, where was that thing you said you were going to do?’ So now I have to do it. So that’s part of why I keep talking about it now so that I’ll actually have follow through. I have so much work ahead of me. Katie Robbert – 07:54 Generative AI, if I want a good quality end product that I can stand behind and put my name on, Generative AI is only going to take it so far. I, the human, still have to do the work. Christopher S. Penn – 08:09 I had the exact same experience with my new book, Almost Timeless. AI assembled all of my words. What did I provide as a starting point? Five hours of audio recordings to start, which are in the deluxe version of the book. You can hear me ranting as I’m driving down the highway to Albany, New York. Audio quality is not great, but. Eighteen months of newsletters of my Almost Timeless newsletter as the foundation. Yes, generative AI created and wrote the book in 90 minutes. Yes, it rearranged my words. To your point, 30 years of technology experience, 18 months of weekly newsletters, and 5 hours of audio recording was the source material it drew from. Christopher S. Penn – 08:53 Which, by the way, is also a really important point from a copyright perspective, because I have proof—and even for sale in the deluxe edition—that the words are originally mine first as a human, as a tangible work. Then I basically made a derivative work of my stuff. That’s not cheating. That’s using the tools for what they’re best at. We have said in all of our courses and all of our things, these tools are really good at: extraction, summarization, classification, rewriting, synthesis, question answering. Generation is what they’re least good at. But every donkey in the interest going, ‘Let’s write a blog post about B2B marketing.’ No, that’s the worst thing you can possibly use it for. Christopher S. Penn – 09:35 But if you say, ‘Here are all the raw ingredients. I did the work growing the wheat. I just am too tired to bake the bread today.’ Machine, bake the bread for me. It does, but it’s still you. And more importantly, to the fifth P, it is still valuable. Katie Robbert – 09:56 I think that’s where a lot of marketers and professionals in general—that’s a mental hurdle that they have to get over as well. Then you start to go into the other part of the conversation. You had started by saying people don’t care as long as it’s helpful. So how do we get marketers and professionals who are using Generative AI to not just spin up things that are sort of mediocre? How do we get them to actually create helpful things that are still them? Because that’s still hard work. I feel like we’re sort of at this crossroads with people wanting to use and integrate Generative AI—which is what the course is all about—how to do that. There’s the, ‘I just want the machine to do it for me.’ Katie Robbert – 10:45 Then there’s the, ‘but I still want my stamp on it.’ Those are sometimes conflicting agendas. Christopher S. Penn – 10:54 What do you always ask me, though, all the time in our company, Slack? Did you run this by our ICP—our ideal customer profile? Did you test this against what we know our customers want, what we know their needs are, what we know their pain points are, all the time, for everything. It’s one of the things we call—I call—knowledge blocks. It’s Lego, it’s made of data. Say, ‘Okay, we’ve got an ideal customer profile.’ Hey, I’ve got this course’s ideal customer profile. What do you think about it? Generated by AI says, ‘That’s not a bad idea, but here are your blind spots.’ There’s a specific set of prompts that I would strongly recommend anybody who’s using an ideal customer profile use. They actually come from coding. Christopher S. Penn – 11:37 It goes like this: What’s good, if anything, about my idea? If there’s nothing good, say so. What’s bad about my idea, if anything? If there’s nothing bad, say so. What’s missing from my idea, if anything? If there’s nothing, say so. What’s unnecessary from my idea, if nothing, say so. Those four questions, with an ideal customer profile, with your idea, solve exactly that problem. Katie, is this any good? Because generative AI, if you give it specific directions—say, ‘Tell me what I’m doing wrong here’—it will gladly tell you exactly what you’ve done wrong. Katie Robbert – 12:16 It’s funny you bring that up because we didn’t have this conversation beforehand. You obviously know the stuff that I’m working on, but you haven’t been in the weeds with me. I did that exact process. I put the outline together and then I ran it past our ideal customer profile, actually our mega. We’ve created a mega internal one that has 25 different profiles in it. I ran it past that, and I said, ‘Score it.’ What am I missing? What are the gaps? Is this useful? Is it not? I think the first version got somewhere between a 7 to 9 out of 10. That’s pretty good, but I can do better. What am I missing? What are the gaps? What are the blind spots? Katie Robbert – 12:56 When it pointed out the things I was missing, it was sort of the ‘duh, of course that’s missing.’ Why wouldn’t I put that in there? That’s breathing air to me. When you’re in the weeds, it’s hard to see that. At the same time, using generative AI is having yourself, if you’re prompting it correctly, look over your own shoulder and go, ‘You missed a spot. You missed that there.’ Again, it has to be your work, your expertise. The original AI kit I used 3 years, 52 weeks a year—so whatever, 150 posts to start—plus the work we do at Trust Insights, plus the frameworks, plus this, plus that, on all stuff that has been carried over into the creation of this course. Katie Robbert – 13:49 So when I ask generative AI, I’m really asking myself, what did I forget? What do I always talk about that isn’t in here? What was missing from the first version was governance and change management communication. Because I was so focused on the tactical. Here’s how you do things. I forgot about, But how do you tell people that you’re going to do the thing? It was such an ‘oh my goodness’ moment. How could I possibly forget that? Because I’m human. Christopher S. Penn – 14:24 You’re human, and humans are also focus engines. We are biologically focus engines. We look at a thing: ‘Is that thing going to eat me or not?’ We have a very hard time seeing the big picture, both metaphorically and literally. We especially are super bad at, ‘What don’t we see in the picture?’ What’s not in this picture? We can’t. It’s just one of the hardest things for us to mentally do. Machines are the opposite. Machines, because of things—latent training, knowledge training, database search, grounding, and the data that we provide—are superb at seeing the big picture. Sometimes they really have trouble focusing. ‘Please write in my tone of voice.’ No, by the way. It’s the opposite. Christopher S. Penn – 15:09 So paired together, our focus, our guidance, our management, and the machine’s capability to see the big picture is how you create great outputs. I’m not surprised at all by the process and stuff that I said essentially what you did, because you’re the one who taught it to me. Katie Robbert – 15:27 It’s funny, one of the ways to keep myself in check with using generative AI is I keep going back to what would the ICP say about this? I feel having that tool, having that research already done, is helping me keep the generative AI focused. We also have written out Katie’s writing style. So I can always refer back to what would the ICP say? Is that how Katie would say it? Because I’m Katie, I could be, ‘That’s not how I would say it.’ Let me go ahead and tweak things. Katie Robbert – 16:09 For those of us who have imposter syndrome, or we overthink or we have anxiety about putting stuff out in public because it’s vulnerable, what I found is that these tools, if prompted correctly, using your expertise—because you have it. So use it. Get you past that hurdle of, ‘It’s too hard.’ I can’t do it. I have writer’s block. That was where I was stuck, because I’ve been hearing you and Kelsey and John saying, ‘Write a book, do a course, do whatever.’ Do something. Do anything. For the love of God, do something. Let me do it. Generative AI is getting me over that hurdle where now I’m looking at it, ‘That wasn’t so bad.’ Now I can continue to take it. Katie Robbert – 16:55 I needed that push to start it. For me. For some people, they say, ‘I can write it, and then generative AI can edit it.’ I’m someone who needs that push of the initial: ‘Here’s what I’m thinking: Can you write it out for me, and then I can take it to completion?’ Christopher S. Penn – 17:14 That’s a mental thing. That is a very much a writing thing. Some people are better editors than writers. Some people are better writers than editors. Rare are the people who are good at both. If you are the person who is paralyzed by the blank page, even a crap prompt will give you something to react to. Generative alcohol. A blog post might be marketing. You’ll look at it and go, ‘This is garbage.’ Oh my God. It changed this. Has changed this. Change this. By the time you’re done reacting to it, you did. That, to me, is one of the great benefits of these tools is to: Christopher S. Penn – 17:48 It’s okay if it does a crappy job on the first draft, because if you are a person who’s naturally more of an editor, you can be, ‘Great.’ That is awful. I’m going to go fix that. Katie Robbert – 17:58 As much as I want to say I’m a better writer, I’m actually a better editor. I think that once I saw that in myself as my skill set, then I was able to use the tools more correctly because now I’m going through this 40-page course outline, which is a lot. Now I can edit it because now I actually know what I want, what I don’t want. It’s still my work. Christopher S. Penn – 18:25 That is completely unsurprising to me because if we think about it, there’s a world of difference in skill sets between being a good manager and being a good individual contributor. A good manager is effectively in many ways a good editor, because you’re looking at your team, looking at your people, looking at the output, saying, ‘Let’s fix this. Let’s do this a little bit better. Let’s do this a little less.’ Being good at Generative AI is actually being a good manager. How do I delegate properly? How do I give feedback and things like that? The nice thing is, though, you can say things to Generative AI that would get you fired by HR if you send them to a human. Christopher S. Penn – 19:01 For people who are better managers than individual contributors, of course it makes sense that you would use AI. You would find benefit to having AI do the first draft and saying, ‘Let me manage you. Let me help you get this right.’ Katie Robbert – 19:15 So, Chris, when you think about creating something new with Generative AI, what side of the conversation do you fall on? Do you create something and then have Generative AI refine it, or what does your process look like? Christopher S. Penn – 19:36 I’ve been talking about this for five years, so I’m finally going to do it. This book, Beyond Development Rope, about private social media communities. I’ve mentioned it, we’ve done webinars on it. Guess what I haven’t done? Finish it. So what am I going to do over the holiday weekend? Christopher S. Penn – 19:53 I’m going to get out my voice recorder and I’m going to look at what I’ve done so far because I have 55 pages worth of half-written, various versions that all suck and say, ‘Ask me questions, Generative AI, about my outline. Ask me what I’ve created content for. Ask me what I haven’t created content for. Make me a long list of questions to answer.’ I’m going to get my voice recorded. I’m going to answer all those questions. That will be the raw materials, and then that gets fed back to a tool like Gemini or Claude or ChatGPT. It doesn’t matter. I’m going to say, ‘Great, you got my writing style guide. You’ve got the outline that we agreed upon.’ Reassemble my words using as many of them verbatim as you can. Write the book. Christopher S. Penn – 20:38 That’s exactly what I did with Almost Timeless. I said, ‘Just reassemble my words.’ It was close to 600,000 words of stuff, 18 months of newsletters. All it had to do was copy-paste. That’s really what it is. It’s just a bunch of copy-pasting and a little bit of smoothing together. So I am much more that I will make the raw materials. I have no problem making the raw materials, especially if it’s voice, because I love to talk and then it will clean up my mess. Katie Robbert – 21:11 In terms of process. I now have these high-level outlines for each of the modules and the lessons, and it’s decent detail, but there’s a lot that needs to be edited, and that’s where, again, I’m finding this paralysis of ‘this is a lot of work to do.’ Would you suggest I do something similar to what you’re doing and record voice notes as I’m going through each of the modules and lessons with my thoughts and feedback and what I would say, and then give that back to Generative AI and say, ‘Fix your work.’ Is that a logical next step? Christopher S. Penn – 21:49 I would do that. I would also take everything you’ve done so far and say, ‘Make me a list of 5 questions per module that I need to answer for this module to serve our ICP well.’ Then it will give you the long list. You just print out a sheet of paper and you go, ‘Okay, questions,’ and turn the voice. Question 7: How do I get adoption for people who are resistant to AI? Let me think about this. We can’t just fire them, throw them in a chipper shredder, but we can figure out what their actual fears are and then maybe try to address them. Or let’s just fire them. Katie Robbert – 22:25 So you really do listen to me. Christopher S. Penn – 22:29 That list of questions, if you are stuck at the blank page, ‘Here I can answer questions.’ That’s something you do phenomenally well as a manager. You ask questions and you listen to the answers. So you’ve got questions that it’s given you. Now you can help it provide the answers. Katie Robbert – 22:49 Interesting. I like that because I feel another stigma. We get into with generative AI is that we have to know exactly what the next step is supposed to be in order to use it properly. You have to know what you’re doing. That’s true to a certain extent. It’s more important that you know the subject matter versus how to use the tool in a specific way. Because you can say to the tool, ‘I don’t know what to do next. What should I do?’ But if you don’t have expertise in the topic, it doesn’t matter what it tells you to do, you can’t move forward. That’s another stigma of using generative AI: I have to be an expert in the tool. Katie Robbert – 23:36 It doesn’t matter what I know outside of the tool. Christopher S. Penn – 23:40 One of the things that makes people really uncomfortable is the fact that these tools in two and a half years have gone from face rolling. GPT-4 in January 2023. For those who are listening, I’m showing a chart of the Diamond GPQA score, which is human-level difficult questions and answers that AI engines are asked to answer 2 and a half years later. Gemini 2.5 from April 2025. Now answers above the human PhD range. In 2 and a half years we’ve gone from face-rolling moron that can barely answer anything to better than a PhD at everything properly prompted. So you don’t need to be an expert in the tool? Absolutely not. You can be. What you have to be an expert in is asking good questions and having good ideas. Yes, subject matter expertise sometimes is important. Christopher S. Penn – 24:34 But asking good questions and being a good critical thinker. We had a case the other day. A client said, ‘We’ve got this problem.’ Do you know anything about it? Not a thing. However, I’m really good at asking questions. So what I did was I built a deep research prompt that said, ‘Here’s the problem I’m trying to solve.’ Build me a step-by-step tutorial from this product’s documentation of how to diagnose this problem. It took 20 minutes. It came back with the tutorial, and then I put that back into Gemini and said, ‘We’re going to follow the step-by-step.’ Tell me what to do. I just copied and pasted screenshots. I asked dumb questions, and unlike a human, ‘That’s nice. Let me help you with that.’ Christopher S. Penn – 25:11 When I was done, even though I didn’t know the product at all, I was able to fulfill the full diagnosis and give the client a deliverable that, ‘Great, this solved my problem.’ To your point, you don’t need to be an expert in everything. That’s what AI is for. Be an expert at asking good questions, being an expert at being yourself, and being an expert at having great ideas. Katie Robbert – 25:39 I think that if more people start to think that way, the tools themselves won’t feel so overwhelming and daunting. I can’t keep up with all the changes with generative AI. It’s just a piece of software. When I was having my overthinking moment this morning of, ‘Why am I using generative AI? It’s not me,’ I was also thinking, ‘It’s the same thing as saying, why am I using a CRM when I have a perfectly good Rolodex on my desk?’ Because the CRM is going to automate. It’s going to take out some of the error. Katie Robbert – 26:19 It’s going to—the use cases for the CRM, which is what my manual Rolodex, although it’s fun to flip, doesn’t actually do a whole lot anymore—and it’s hard to maintain. Thinking about generative AI in similar ways—it’s just a tool that’s going to help me do the thing faster—takes a lot of that stigma off of it. Christopher S. Penn – 26:45 If you think about it in business and management terms, can you imagine saying to another CEO, ‘Why do you have employees?’ You should do all by yourself? That’s ridiculous. You hire a problem solver—maybe it’s human, maybe it’s machine—but you hire for it because it solves the problem. You only have 24 hours in a day, and you’d like 16 of them with your dog and your husband. Katie Robbert – 27:12 I think we need to be shedding that stigma and thinking about it in those terms, where it’s just another tool that’s going to help you do your job. If you’re using it to do everything for you and you don’t have that critical thinking and original ideas, then your stuff’s going to be mediocre and you’re going to say, ‘I thought I could do everything.’ That’s a topic for a different day. Christopher S. Penn – 27:34 That is a topic for a different day. But if you are able to think about it as though you were delegating to another person, how would you delegate? What would you have the person challenge you on? Think about it as you say: It’s a digital version of Katie. I think it’s a great way to think about it because you can say, ‘How would I solve this problem?’ We often say when we’re doing our own stuff, ‘How would you treat Trust Insights if it was a client?’ I wouldn’t defer maintenance on our mail server for 3 years. Katie Robbert – 28:13 Whoopsies. Christopher S. Penn – 28:15 It’s exactly the same thing with AI. So that stigma of, I’m feeding, somehow you are getting to bigger, better, faster, cheaper, and better. Probably cheaper than you would without it. Ultimately, if you’re using it well, you are delivering better performance for yourself, for your customers—which is what really matters—and making yourself more valuable and freeing up your time to make more stuff. So, real simple example: this book that I’ve been sitting on for five years, I’m going to crank that out in probably a day and a half of audio recordings. Does that help? I think the book’s useful, so I think it’s going to help people. So I almost have a moral obligation to use AI to get it out into the world so it can help people. That’s a, that’s kind of a re— Christopher S. Penn – 29:04 A reframe to think about. Do you have a moral obligation to help the world with your knowledge? If so, because you’re not willing to use AI, you’re doing the world a disservice. Katie Robbert – 29:19 I don’t know if I have an obligation, but I think it will be helpful to people. I am. I’m looking forward to finishing the course, getting it out the door so that I can start thinking about what’s next. Because oftentimes when we have these big things in front of us, we can’t think about what’s next. So I’m ready to think about what’s next. I’m ready to move on from this. So for me personally, selfishly, using generative AI is going to get me to that ‘what’s next’ faster. Christopher S. Penn – 29:49 Exactly.

This week's chat is with one of Delhi's most promising young designers, who's just shown his collection at Lakmé Fashion Week in Mumbai, and who won last year's Circular Design Challenge (run by R/Elan and UN India). He is Ritwik Khanna, founder of the edgy menswear offering and atelier RKive City. He's created a new system of working with post-consumer textile waste (lots of denim and camouflage gear) that he de-constructs, then recuts into brilliant new garments, often embellished with embroideries. The result blends cool modernity with high craft.What's up for discussion? His process, obviously, but this is also a conversation about dignified work, what people don't realise about the second-hand and waste textile supply chain in India, and ultimately - what makes a good life.Fancy your chances winning the Circular Design Challenge?
