In this episode of JOY over Happiness, Dr. Jon Eckert talks with Nathan Bachman, a junior at Baylor, about what it’s actually like to be a student in the age of AI, where shortcuts are easy and the pressure to use them is real.

Nathan talks through the tension students feel between doing the work and taking the shortcut, and the reality that there are two paths with AI. You can automate your life or use it to augment it. From questions about the value of a college degree to choosing integrity when no one is watching, this conversation is an honest look at how students are navigating learning, effort, and what actually matters.
