In this eye-opening episode, we remix Maslow’s classic Hierarchy of Needs for the digital age—because let’s face it, Wi-Fi might be the new water. From food and shelter to likes, shares, and existential dread about your online persona, we explore how human motivation has evolved in a world ruled by screens and algorithms.

But wait—what happens when we start teaming up with AI to get things done? We dive into a fascinating new study that shows AI collaboration boosts short-term performance... but might zap your intrinsic motivation and leave you bored out of your beautifully autonomous human mind.

Join us as we ask:

Are we self-actualizing—or self-branding?

Is “digital belonging” real, or just dopamine in disguise?

Can you lose your creative spark after a ChatGPT binge?

Get ready for a lively discussion packed with psychology, pop culture, and just the right amount of sass. It’s Maslow 2.0—now with more memes and machine learning.
