In this disastrous edition of the Enterprise Learning Pod, we are once again joined by the preeminent David Mantica and our humble podcast producer Toby Mise. The intended topic of this episode is to discuss AI in Business Learning, but is instead a meandering journey through movie, culture, society, and technology. Join us if you dare on our most ridiculous episode yet, where three of the whitest men you've ever heard make put on another rambling podcast. We also hope this one is your favorite episode yet (just check out those chapter titles!)
