01/10/24 • 45 min

In this week's episode, I had the amazing opportunity to talk with Katy Oursler. From her early days on the East Coast to creating impactful food experiences, Katy's story is about more than just meals; it's about connecting people and building community.

Our conversation explored various aspects of Katy's journey. We delved into how she values farmers and their produce, creating a deeper connection between consumers and the source of their food. Katy shared fascinating stories about her improvisational cooking skills, like using fig leaves as dessert plates in a pinch, highlighting the fun and authenticity in such spontaneous moments.

We also discussed the rise of the farm-to-table movement and how people's desire for new food experiences has grown, especially in connecting with those who cook and grow the ingredients. Katy's involvement with World Central Kitchen during crises like the pandemic and natural disasters showcased her proactive approach to supporting local chefs and farms.

Perhaps the most heartening part of our talk was hearing Katy's reflections on pursuing personal goals and projects. Her desire to overcome inhibitions and chase her passions resonates with many of us striving to make our mark in the world.

So, if you're interested in how food can bring people together and create a sense of community, or if you're just looking to be inspired by someone who's making a difference, this episode with Katy is for you.

The end - or beginning - of creativity

In this week's episode, we're circling back to a topic that's becoming a bit of a regular on our podcast – Artificial Intelligence. But here's the twist: this entire episode is AI-generated, including what sounds like my voice!

We're diving deep into the world of AI and its impact on art. I'll be sharing my musings on the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and human creativity. Think about it – art that moves you, stories that resonate, all crafted not by human hands but by AI. How does that change the way we view creativity?

We'll touch on classics like "East of Eden" by Steinbeck and ponder over what AI-generated art could mean for future creatives. It's an intriguing blend of technology, art, and human emotion – a trio that's increasingly becoming more intertwined.

This AI-generated episode really pushes the envelope, and I can't wait to hear what you think about it. Has AI changed your perspective on art and creativity? Drop us a message; your thoughts are always a vital part of our discussions.

And remember, if you find these AI explorations as fascinating as I do, spread the word and share the podcast. Your support helps us keep these conversations going!

The next step for the podcast

In this episode, I'm sharing some thoughts on where we're heading with this podcast. I've loved every bit of this journey – the interviews, the editing, and just the chance to dive into fascinating conversations. It's been exactly what I hoped for.

I'm gearing up for a big trip, starting in Peru and then maybe jetting off to Vietnam, Japan, and Europe. It's about seeking my next step, getting out of my creative comfort zone, and experiencing life differently. It's exciting, yet a bit daunting to step away from the stability I've built here.

One thing that's been on my mind a lot lately is artificial intelligence. It's not just the technology that intrigues me, but its impact on us as humans. From the way it's transforming work to its potential effects on education and personal relationships, AI is reshaping our world in profound ways.

I'm considering steering our podcast in this direction, exploring personal stories and real-life implications of AI. Whether it's a teacher grappling with AI in the classroom or how it's affecting relationships, I believe there's a wealth of untapped stories there.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this potential shift. Are you as intrigued by AI and its human side as I am? What aspects of AI's impact on our lives would you be interested in exploring together?

Thank you for joining me on this episode. Your support keeps this podcast going, and I'm excited about the possibilities ahead.
