Do we moan too much about juniors? Why CAN'T they make a simple phone call? These are the questions Ian and Sophie grapple with as they react to the feedback from our Happy Clients conference.

Fresh off Agency Hackers’ AI conference, The Robots Are Coming, in July, Ian & Soph prepare to take on feedback from the attendees. Most of the negative feedback? The coffee wasn’t up to standard, apparently. 

Soph also pitches some of her very own AI tool ideas (tech investors, we’re waiting).

They’ll also be:

• Poking fun at a bizarre LinkedIn post from one of the site’s most notable masters of cheese.
• Delving into some of Ian’s toxic thoughts about being introverted.
• Getting to the heart of what it’s like to be a neurodivergent person.
• Showcasing the branding for Agency Forecast, which will take place at the House of Lords.
