In this episode of Defending Depth, Jacqueline explores how convenience and shortcuts are slowly weakening strategic thinking. She explains why friction actually helps us think better and how removing it too quickly can dull judgment and meaning.

Drawing from The Comfort Crisis and real-world experience, she challenges the idea that faster isn't always better. Instead, she shows how small amounts of discomfort can sharpen thinking and lead to better decisions at work and in life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why convenience and speed are quietly dulling strategic judgment
• How friction trains better thinking, not worse outcomes
• What marketers are actually paid for in an age of AI and automation
