"It's not that serious."

That's basically Julia Navan's mantra, and honestly, we had so much ground to cover. If you guys don't know Julia, she's the brain behind 47Collective and NVN Group, and she's a complete beast when it comes to branding. We haven't sat across from each other in a minute, so we got into the "trying 20s," why everyone's acting like a narcissist lately, and why over-relying on AI is the fastest way to make your business look like a joke.
