PICK A POD SERIES

AI finally does what it does best: gets companies sued. This week, Eightfold gets served over secret AI scores and “responsible AI” that doesn’t feel very legal. Randstad says everything’s great while 40% of workers grab second jobs. Davos CEOs predict job losses, preach adaptation, and pass the mess to government. Trust is broken. Reality is optional. Buckle up.

Is AI really killing white-collar jobs or is that just the excuse? The Chad & Cheese sit down with Allie Kelly of Business Insider to break down layoffs, hiring freezes, disappearing entry-level roles, and why interest rates, tariffs, and Fed policy, not robots, are doing the real damage. If you’ve been told "AI did it," this episode hits different.

Euro Chad is back and HR’s Most Dangerous Podcast is firing on all cylinders. This week, Chad & Cheese tear into OpenAI chasing ads and $500K salaries, Phenom shopping for AI relevance, Meta quietly ghosting the Metaverse, and Jeff Taylor re-entering the job board arena. Add Delta’s $1.3B profit-sharing flex, Canada’s political mic drop, and AI skepticism galore. Buckle up.

Jeff Taylor helped invent job boards… then watched them break. From DJ booths to Monster, Super Bowl ads ranked “worst ever,” missed billions, dodging LinkedIn regrets, getting humbled by Zuckerberg, and surviving Ray Dalio’s corporate Fight Club. Jeff’s back with BoomBand to fix resumes, job postings, and hiring itself. Again. 🎤

The gang covers Indeed, LinkedIn, Artisan and ChatGPT news.

AI didn’t kill creativity — it buried it under AI slop. Jim Kukral joins Chad & Cheese to rip into Coke’s AI ads, the coming “Chipotle Effect,” and why humanity’s last unfair advantage is being human. Jim even quit his job to throw wild, screen-free boat parties on Lake Erie. Are we headed for a Human Renaissance… or trapped in our digital cages?

It’s prediction season — and chaos season. Chad, Cheese, and Lieven review how wrong (and occasionally right) 2025 predictions were, then unleash bold 2026 calls: AI eating jobs, agencies bleeding out, Indeed tightening control, robots going physical, and authenticity getting faker than ever. Predictions are never wrong… they just haven’t happened yet.

Chad & Joel go deep with Kim Storin, CMO of Zoom, on brand, AI, and why marketing lost its soul chasing MQLs. Challenger mindset, Bowen Yang, human-in-the-loop AI, CFO wrangling, and why trust beats demand gen. If you think marketing, recruiting, and employer brand are separate… this episode will hurt (in a good way).

2025 didn’t just rattle HR. Nope, it ripped the curtain down and set it on fire. Job boards hoarded hiring data, HR tech rivals flirted with espionage, PE bled legacy platforms dry, and founders played chess while workers paid. Add AI ghosting resumes, Slack DMs as evidence, LinkedIn as a minefield, and recruiters stuck in the blast zone. Pass the popcorn. 🍿
