About this episode
The episode explores the unexpected insights gained from experimenting with voice AI in creative processes.
What started as a simple attempt to speed up intake turned into a deeper experiment in how ideas form, gain momentum, and survive handoff between people. This conversation digs into voice as a design material, the hidden drop-off points in creative work, and why supporting both the client and the creative professional changes everything.
