In this episode, we hand the mic to HurumoAI’s social media intern, for a candid look at what it’s really like to join a fast-moving, AI-powered startup. She shares her first impressions of being interviewed and onboarded, the culture shocks (and communication breakdowns) that come with startup life, and her honest take on what works—and what doesn’t—when humans and AI try to build something together. From missed emails to mascot brainstorms, it’s a crash course in startup resilience, adaptability, and the very real learning curve of working at the edge of tech. Whether you’re a founder, an intern, or just startup-curious, this episode is packed with relatable moments, hard-won lessons, and a few laughs along the way.
