OM DENNE EPISODE
Marcus Byrne has spent decades working as a designer, artist, photographer, and creative thinker.
In this episode, we dive deep into AI, creativity, technology, travel, human connection, and what the future might actually look like.
We discuss why AI isn't simply "another tool," why so many people are afraid of it, how technology has changed the way we think, and what happens when creativity becomes available to everyone.
Marcus shares his perspective as a lifelong creative who has watched multiple technological revolutions reshape entire industries—from print and Photoshop to Midjourney, ChatGPT, and AI-generated media.
We also explore social media, creativity, travel, education, parenting, human connection, and why the most important skills of the future may have nothing to do with technology at all.
