Whiskey Web and Whatnot: Web Development, Neat

Authenticity in a World of Algorithms

Listen Later

This week, Robbie and Chuck dive into the delicate balance between authenticity and adaptation, both in tech and everyday life. They unpack the challenges of staying true to their passions—like whiskey and web development—while navigating the pressures of broadening their appeal and monetizing their craft. They also reflect on podcasting, personal branding, industry trends, social media shifts, and the complexities of dealing with polarizing figures in tech.
