Episode 344 : AI - The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly - Part 2
In Part 2 of our introduction into AI, Michelle and I dive deeper into the ugliness of AI; data centers, environmental destruction, unregulated growth and AI psychosis just to name just a few. Plus we discuss Kevin O'Leary's AI MEGACENTER that has plans to be at least TWICE the size of Manhattan in the Utah desert, putting the future of the Great Salt Lake at risk. As we go deeper into Artificial Inteligence, we will have more episodes entirely focused on some of the topics briefly covered here, as well as interviews with those who have experienced this themselves.

Episode 343 : AI - The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly - Part 1
The rise of AI is inevitable and hard to escape, so I asked Michelle (our Triple Emerald Princess of Robots) to chat with us about the good, bad and ugly of this growing technology. From crypto pyramid schemes and data centers to advancing accessibility and innovating modern health care, AI seems to have it's finger in many pies, and as someone who has been working with AI in her professional career for many years, Michelle is uniquely qualified to help us understand the nuances and dangers of Artificial Intelligence. Even if you're a newbie to the AI space, we're here to help you learn and ethically navigate your way around. In Part 1, we dip our toes into the Good and Bad, and help define some common AI terminology.

Episode 340 : The Rise and Fall of Sipology
This episode started off as a bit of MLM News I was planning to mention in the next episodes housekeeping. I hadn't heard too much about Sipology, but as I started to gather information to share about it's closing, I began learning about a much more interesting story; the Rise and Fall of the little Canadian Tea MLM that could. From humble beginnings out of loss, to the meteoric rise to the United States, this is a story you've probably never heard.
