Will Powell has been a motivational speaker, a voiceover talent, and the driving force behind The Player 1 Academy in Rochester, where kids work through math, reading, and social studies inside VR headsets and alongside personal robots. He automates his outreach to schools across the country, takes meetings in smart glasses that transcribe and fact check in real time, and juggles around 11 projects at once. Fifteen years ago he shelved an idea for a puppet show because it needed a puppet builder in Canada, puppeteers in Nebraska and California, and a ton of money. Now he builds it on a laptop.

In this episode he talks about why ChatGPT is just the beginning, the AI agent that reaches out to 20 school leaders every morning at 8:00 and books the Zoom call without him touching a keyboard, and his warning that anyone who doesn't know AI in three years is done. He and Fitz get into layoffs and universal basic income, the environmental cost of data centers, whether college is still worth it, AI slop and the one sentence that fixes it, and why so many local AI experts don't hold up to a real question. He also shares how he learns (YouTube, a stack of notebooks, and one big new tool every 90 days), why AI is a tool and not a second brain, and how he's putting it to work on ROC Recode and the Hip Hoppets, before dropping Fitz into his own AI-generated studio for the closing segment.
