How do you stay grounded when technology is changing work faster than any of us can keep up with? In this episode, I sit down with journalist and CNN contributor Jacob Ward to talk about the emotional and psychological impact of living and working alongside increasingly powerful technology. Jacob shares why he believes the bigger threat isn’t just automation, but the way these systems shape your behavior, attention, and relationships at work. We talk about loneliness, agency, management, the pressure to keep producing, and what happens when more of our thinking gets handed over to machines. Get ready to rethink productivity, management, and the value of human judgment.Check out our sponsors:Shopify - Sign up for a $1 per month trial, just go to shopify.com/anxiousachieverChime - Head to chime.com/achiever to sign upMonarch - Use code ACHIEVER at monarch.com to get 50% off your first yearPhysician’s Choice - Use code PCPODCAST10 at physicianschoice.com to get 10% off your entire orderWhatnot - Get free shipping on your first order.
