  • AI: Overhyped, Overrated, and Revolutionary at the Same Time?

    AI: Overhyped, Overrated, and Revolutionary at the Same Time?
    May 4 2025
    Yo, what's happening? In this episode, Walter Gainer II (@thegreatwalt) and I dive deep into the world of Artificial Intelligence. Is it truly revolutionary, or is it overrated right now? We share our experiences and hot takes and discuss AI's real-world applications (and limitations), from content creation and project management to everyday tools and even fast-food drive-thrus. We explore how AI is integrated into everything from our phones and computers to social media and editing software. Is it helpful, or just... too much? We also tackle the critical topic of bias in AI, especially concerning representation, and debate whether AI can truly keep up with culture and human nuance. AI is a powerful tool, but it's only as good as the person using it. Join us as we discuss finding the right AI workflow, separating the hype from reality, and why human experience and expertise still matter most in the age of automation. Tune in for insights, laughs, and a debate or two!

  • TikTok Ban Aftershock, Owned Media Strategies, and is Fanbase for Creators or Investors

    TikTok Ban Aftershock, Owned Media Strategies, and is Fanbase for Creators or Investors
    Feb 7 2025
    CL and Walter kick off the episode by introducing the podcast’s vision—exploring business, marketing, and media trends with a focus on growth. They discuss how the show will cover everything from industry insights to personal development and workflow strategies. The conversation dives into the recent TikTok ban chaos. While the internet exploded with reactions, was the ban ever real? CL and Walter highlight how misinformation spreads quickly online and why this incident reminded everyone that the internet isn’t always a reality. Privacy concerns take center stage as they question whether the TikTok ban was indeed about data security or more about government control. They break down how other platforms, like Facebook and Google, collect just as much (if not more) data, making the argument against TikTok feel selective. A key theme of the episode is the power of independent media. TikTok has changed how people consume news, allowing citizen journalism to thrive outside traditional corporate structures. But does that freedom of information threaten governments? The hosts examine how platforms like TikTok have given marginalized voices a global stage. The discussion then shifts to the importance of creators owning their audience. Depending solely on social media is risky—platforms change policies, and accounts can be shut down. Walter and CL emphasize the value of having direct access to followers through websites, newsletters, and platforms like Substack and Beehive. Monetization is another hot topic. Having a big following doesn’t guarantee success; it’s all about engaging superfans willing to support creators financially. Whether through memberships, merch, or exclusive content, creators must find ways to sustain their work beyond ad revenue. Walter shares how his LinkedIn post about CapCut’s potential ban unexpectedly went viral. This led to engagement from video editing companies looking to position themselves as alternatives, showing the power of organic conversations in digital spaces. They also dive into Fanbase, the Black-owned social media platform created by Isaac Hayes III. While Fanbase promotes itself as an alternative to Instagram and TikTok, its user base and business model raise questions. Is it truly a competitor to mainstream platforms, or does it function more like Patreon? Reflecting on social media trends, the hosts analyze what makes a platform succeed or fail. Clubhouse’s decline is a prime example of why loyalty isn’t enough—new platforms need standout features that can’t easily be copied. They suggest that Fanbase and other emerging platforms must innovate beyond simple subscription models to compete in the long run.
