Mama Needs A Break

Welcome to Coffee Meets Cloud, where we dive deep into the ever-evolving world of workplace dynamics and personal well-being! Today, we're navigating the bittersweet journey of change—how we balance the excitement of meeting new coworkers with the heartache of bidding farewell to those who've become close friends.

Let's Get a Move on People!!!!

In this lively episode, join us for a candid conversation that almost didn’t happen! (oops) We’re diving into the beautiful chaos of podcasting first thing in the morning, a true testament to the resilience of working moms fueled by chaos and copious amounts of coffee. From dogs mischievously chewing through items (including Caramie's infamous headphones!) to navigating a whirlwind of meetings on a half-day, we embrace the glass half full approach to motherhood. Spoiler: we're not always great at it, but we're trying. 
We also catch up on the summer shows that keep us entertained, contrasting them with our childhood experiences when the TV would simply "turn off" at night. As we discuss the evolving landscape of education and parenting, we tackle the balancing act of managing creative time versus tech time in our kids' lives.

Next, we demystify the world of AI! Leveraging ChatGPT to access Alan Jackson lyrics? What about AI’s growing influence in the makeup industry? And when can we expect our very own Rosie Robot? As technology evolves, so do our expectations, and we discuss how the bar is constantly being raised.
But it’s not all smooth sailing. We delve into the importance of governing AI to ensure its success. How do we tackle data bias and our own biases while bringing everyone along for the ride? Don’t miss insights from Rachel’s book on governance in the age of AI: AI Blueprint.
We’ll also predict the pendulum swing caused by a lack of governance and over-automation. How long will it take to shift back, and what happens when burnout hits as AI takes over our jobs? When simple tasks vanish, we’re left with complex problems—what does that mean for the workforce?

Why we drink

Welcome to this episode of Coffee Meets Cloud, where we dive into the wild and often chaotic world of work—especially for those of us in the tech industry.
