YO MUNIR Ep. 3: AI Slop, Maslow's Needs, and the Genius of Mistakes

Is creativity dead in the age of over-optimization and AI slop? Munir and Robert, two brothers working in the advertising and ad-tech space, dive deep into what they're seeing in their LinkedIn feeds—from the 75% of long-form posts that are likely AI-generated to the hyper-focus on attention as a finite, quantifiable resource. They also talk leadership, hybrid work models, and why giving your team permission to make mistakes is the key to both creativity and capitalism.
