Summary
This week on Stories with Stewman, Ryan sits down with special guest Mason Dorner for a wild, unfiltered conversation about AI, advertising, business, survival, and the chaos happening around the world. Mason brings serious experience to the table with over $150 million in ad spend managed, more than $1 billion in sales generated, and campaigns connected to major brands like Disney and Comcast. But this episode goes way beyond marketing. Ryan and Mason dig into the Middle East conflict, America's trust problem, tariffs crushing small businesses, the real cost of AI, OpenAI's potential bubble, SpaceX going public, food quality, health, and what happens if the internet or power grid ever goes down. From politics to private business, from AI hype to survival instincts, this episode asks one big question: Are we actually prepared for what's coming?
