In this mini-episode, I explain why calling out the enshittification of modern technology doesn’t make me a Luddite, even if I’m a Xennial who still remembers life before wi-fi. I tease why algorithms may be quietly degrading how we connect, learn, and create, and why I’m setting clear rules and guardrails for how I use AI so the robots remain our servants, not our masters. Ultimately I ask a bigger question: is it already too late to de-enshittify our humanity?

Is it too late to de-enshittify our humanity?

Hi I&#39;m Zack, and the purpose of my work is to help you find meaning and purpose in yours (without burning out...or selling your creative soul).If you&#39;ve built your entire career around your creativity like I have, you may be asking the same question I am: Is there a future for us “creatives,” Or is it game over? I can&#39;t promise that I know what the future brings, but I do promise few are more dedicated to helping you find the answers than I am.You&#39;re in the right place if:<ul><li>You live to create. Your work isn&#39;t just a job but an expression of who you are.</li><li>You create to live. Your livelihood depends on your creativity.</li><li>You love making cool shit.</li></ul> Whether you identify as introverted or neurodivergent (or both, like me)...No matter if you&#39;re a misfit, a rebel, an outlier, or a troublemaker...If you&#39;ve been called weird, nerdy, dorky, quirky, or awkward...Or if you’re an over-thinker, procrastinator, or perfectionist…You are welcome here. 😊Come join me as I have honest, authentic, and candid conversations with NYT bestselling authors, Oscar and Emmy winners, experts across many different industries, and ordinary humans achieving extraordinary things.
