This is episode 39 of Hello You Podcast, and gosh, does AI come in for a shaking...

Not before we dig into octopus blooms, throw a reference to Jungian Sovereignty or consider our common humanity of course!

This is another riotous episode of the unfurling conversation between two friends, thinkers and thought partners. And we'd love to have you along for the ride.

Check out the shownotes here (https://helloyoupodcast.wordpress.com/2026/09/10/s3-ep3-tentacles-ai-and-nearing-40/) or jump straight in for a listen. The HYP Salon is open!

Welcome! Grab a coffee and pull up a chair for an hour of chat on things preoccupying us as a couple of early millennials. For a skim through what we chat about (complete with links and references) read the shownotes here : https://helloyoupodcast.wordpress.com/2026/07/22/s-3-ep-2-to-see-all-our-language-in-a-grain-of-sand/ .

Oh. Wow. It's been not just a minute but OVER A YEAR since Louise & Neil got behind the mics in their respective countries.

A lot has been happening in that time, as you'd expect.

• Louise has launched some brilliant Sparkle Sessions for female founders
• Neil's burnt himself on hot tea (three times). He's also been working on a White Paper for the Institute of Internal Communications (out in June/July 2026)

We talk about clothes as empowerment or armour; radical presence in conversation; being vulnerable; and the fact that one of the early incarnations of the Emperor from Star Wars was played by a woman.

It might have been a hot minute since the last episode but we're back. And, like riding a bike - it all comes back to us. The training wheels are off!
