Jared starts off by heavily criticizing the toxicity of John Morgan's employee surveillance policies at Morgan & Morgan.
Next, Andrea Cannavina joins us to explain how the push-pull mechanics of early mobile tech shaped modern digital addiction. Andrea advises lawyers to thoroughly read software Terms of Service to avoid becoming the product, breaks down why AI output degrades over time, and shares her triad of office processes (DAFT, Control Journal, and Uncalendaring) to tame email and protect mental capacity. She also previews her unique, live-streaming, screen-free podcast, From Paper to Portals.
