In this first part of a two-part conversation, Amy sits down with returning guest Bill Kirst to explore what it means to live in a world where we are beginning to question what is real.

The Grief of Artificial Reality – Recognize the subtle but profound emotional toll of discovering something you believed was real was AI-generated. Discernment as a Leadership Skill – Consider why the future may demand deeper emotional intelligence and conscious filtering rather than faster consumption. Rebellion Against the Autofill – Exercising discernment and age…","meta_description":"Something is happening in our lives, and we can all feel it. Voices can be cloned. Stories can be automated.
