Discover the magic of manifesting in a Creativity Squared exclusive interview from the ONLY comedian (and one of two artists!) who’s a Time100 AI 2024 honoree in the Innovators category: King Willonius. 👑
His real name is Willonius Hatcher (his first name is pronounced “Will-OWN-ee-us,” and he also goes by Will).
2024 has been a breakout year for Will after his “BBL Drizzy” comedy song went viral — the first A.I. collaborated song that became a cultural phenomenon, transcending genres and mediums!
What does Burning Man, Dune 2, and the Frost Planetarium have to do with his story?
Listen in to our 75th episode — and last one for 2024 — to find out!
Creativity Squared interviewed Will live at the FilmGate Miami Interactive Festival XI, one of the top ten immersive festivals in the world! You’ll hear why it’s so special from the festival’s curator, co-founder, and executive producer, Diliana Alexander.
On opening night, the FilmGate audience got a preview of the “BBL Drizzy Musical Dome Experience”. Next year, Creativity Squared will be back to see the full production and host another time capsule conversation with Will. Once you hear the interview, you’ll know that Will is just scratching the surface of what’s possible — he’s ahead of the entertainment industries, and is definitely one to follow!
Why did he make the Time100 AI 2024 Innovators list?
For Creativity Squared Founder and Podcast Host, Helen Todd’s take, check out the dedicated blog post accompanying this episode: *COMING SOON*
Our 2025 podcast season will kick off again in April, but we’ll keep the newsletter going between now and then.
Here’s to manifesting more magic in the new year — enjoy!

As an early content creator, she uploaded her first video to YouTube in 2007 — and it went viral. Ten years and 750 million views later, Taryn has produced more than 1,500 pieces of digital content for networks like Conde Naste, The Today Show, MTV, Snapchat, and Maker Studios.

A three-time Streamy Awards nominee, her work has been featured in Billboard, Fast Company, Wired, Vanity Fair, Harvard Business Review, and more.
Fast-forward to 2017, Taryn released the world’s first A.I.-composed pop album, then in 2019, directed and produced a Tribeca award-winning documentary on the future of A.I. and the human brain, followed by creating an award-winning Google VR series. In 2020, she became one of the earliest content creators to create an A.I.-avatar of herself.

Taryn also shares her fascinating work with brain-computer interfaces and her vision for how technology might reshape our physical and digital worlds. From questioning our relationship with productivity to contemplating a future with more "spaciousness," this episode offers fresh perspectives that challenge conventional thinking.

From early digital media pioneer to mental health advocate for creators, meet Shira Lazar.
Shira revolutionized web-first news in 2011 with "What's Trending," predating the creator economy as we know it today. She recognized the power of digital culture before most, becoming a go-to voice for emerging online communities and viral moments when traditional media wasn't paying attention. Through advocacy work, her weekly newsletter The Alpha, and speaking engagements on stages like SXSW, VeeCon, and CES, Shira continues to shape how we think about technology's impact on creators and society.
As an Emmy-nominated digital culture trailblazer, one of Fast Company's Most Influential Women in Technology, and on Variety's Women of Impact list, Shira has spent over two decades at the intersection of technology, media, and human connection. Her journey from broadcaster to digital innovator led her to an even more crucial mission — supporting creator wellbeing through co-founding Peace Inside Live, a wellness agency and collective. This work led to launching the Creators 4 Mental Health initiative which is focused on bringing mental health tools to the creator economy through events and community programming.
One question we dive into: Are A.I. creators making money? And do they have the tools to set themselves up for success in their careers? Today, you'll hear Shira's unique perspective on the evolution of the creator economy, from the early days of YouTube stars to the current A.I. revolution. She shares invaluable insights on creator sustainability, mental health, and building a more mindful digital future.
As a trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide and mental health that some listeners may find distressing. If you are having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or visit https://speakingofsuicide.com for more support and resources.
Join us to get a pulse on the creator economy and what’s needed so we all thrive, centering wellbeing to unlock our best content we can imagine — enjoy!

Grateful Dead fans, lovers of lyrics, and those curious about A.I.'s interpretation of art, you’re in for a treat because today’s episode invites you to explore human intelligence versus artificial intelligence through the analysis of the Grateful Dead song "Ripple" with Creativity Squared resident writer and philosopher, Jason Schneider.
From reciting poems to thinking deeply about consciousness and art, Jason is a true modern-day Renaissance man with passions that include photography, motorcycles, poetry, music, and philosophy. A self-admitted life-long Leica maniac, Jason is also a camera collector, fine art photographer, writer, and photojournalist. He is currently writing a book with the working title “Understanding Emily Dickinson: A Reader’s Guide To The Enlightened Master.”
In our conversation, we discuss this piece where he compares his human analysis of this transcendent song based on the poem by Robert Hunter to ChatGPT's. Jason then put the article through ChatGPT for an opinion piece on the full article while the team did the same with NotebookLM, which gets meta quicker than a ChatGPT-prompted answer! And it wouldn’t be a conversation with Jason without some Emily Dickinson either, and you won’t want to miss how Jason sees the Grateful Dead and the poet’s similarities.
Discover why “Ripple” remains a timeless meditation on life’s most profound questions, including the limitations of human consciousness itself — enjoy!

It’s not every day that you have the honor of meeting a national treasure who is creating new art genres and movements to help us expand our imagination and stretch our understanding of what’s possible.
First inspired by Marvel and DC comics in his youth, Dr. Walter D. Greason is the distinguished DeWitt Wallace Professor in the Department of History at Macalester College.
Wondering why there weren’t Black people in the futures presented in classic sci-fi stories, Walter became one of the founders of Afrofuturism, a new lens to re-imagine a tomorrow that’s inclusive for all. He also gave the world the “Wakanda Syllabus” and helped bring the fictional city of Wakanda to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Blank Panther blockbuster films!
Named one of “Today’s Black History Makers” by The Philadelphia Daily News, Walter is an educator, historian, media ecologist, economist, and urbanist all in one who has authored eighteen books on democracy, capitalism, and digital economies in the world today. His latest book and Amazon bestseller, “The Graphic History of Hip-Hop,” is a graphic novel and scholastic experience charting the evolution of the genre Hand its myriad impacts on culture and society.
With such a deep wealth of wisdom on the power of art, especially in today’s infinite, digital landscape, combined with his understanding of the transformations shaping our society and culture both at a macro level and down to a personal one, it’s an honor to have Walter on the show. This is a conversation to revisit as we explore some of the most pressing topics of our time as we transition from the Information Age to the Imagination Age.
Today’s conversation spans a wide array of topics, from the mythological power of comics to Walter’s perspective on the current state of democracy and the world as we transition to digital capitalism, opening up new avenues for economic freedom. Walter also shares what co-powering is, along with a snapshot of the current media landscape in the age of genAI, the convergence of mediums, and the counter-convergence backlash we’re seeing globally. With expertise in Black Speculative Arts, the racial wealth gap, and patterns of economic globalization, Walter shares new frameworks to help us re-imagine the future as well as our relationships with time and each other.
In a world that can be overwhelming, listen in as Walter provides answers and shows what’s possible when we break free of current narratives and give ourselves the time, love, and permission to dream about what’s possible — enjoy!

From innovating custom A.I. solutions in advertising since 2016 to revolutionizing how brands create content at the speed of culture, meet Dustin Callif.
As President of Tool, a creative production partner based in Santa Monica, Dustin leads a team that blends traditional filmmaking with cutting-edge A.I. technology to create groundbreaking commercial content for some of the world's most recognized brands, like Toyota, T-Mobile, and Coca-Cola. He is also responsible for founding Tool’s Experience group, which has been at the forefront of experiential design and creative technology.
On stages at conferences like MAICON, SXSW, and Cannes Advertising Festival, he shares Tool’s approach to developing their evolved creative production model, providing unique solutions for brands, including training A.I. on a brand’s owned assets.
In today’s conversation, you'll hear how Tool is pushing the boundaries of A.I. in advertising while maintaining high creative standards and commercial viability through their campaign work in addition to workflow and content pipeline optimization. Dustin shares impressive case studies, including how they created a television commercial for Under Armour in four weeks without the actual talent, all enabled by A.I. and traditional post-production editing. Another one is an innovative approach of creating modular content for Starburst that is different every time for the viewer, deploying what he calls “A.I. Style Transfer.” Not only does Tool put A.I. to work, but they also identify world-class A.I. talent, matching directors, like Creativity Squared guest Nem Perez, with innovative agencies and brands. We also discuss the evolving legal landscape around A.I.-generated content for brands.
Join us for an insider's look at how A.I. is transforming advertising and content creation from one of the industry's leading innovators who not only embraces the creative possibilities but leverages A.I. to drive real business value and efficiency.

Kaila Love is a Hip Hop artist, entrepreneur, and A.I. automation specialist who has been breaking barriers since she started rapping at age 14. Born and raised in the Bay Area by her great-grandmother, Kaila used music as a vehicle to overcome challenges, becoming the first in her family to graduate college when she received her Bachelor's in Political Science from UC Berkeley.
As an early adopter of blockchain technology, Kaila has been investing in crypto since 2017. In March 2021, she made history as one of the first female rappers to sell her music as an NFT. This pioneering move led her to author the book "NFTs for Music," establishing her as a thought leader at the intersection of music and emerging technology.
I met Kaila at MidwestCon after her keynote presentation titled "Rhythm and Bytes," and you're in for a treat today as we dive into her go-getter and innovative mind. She's a forward-thinker who's vocal about the potential of A.I. to revolutionize the music industry and propel artists beyond streaming into new opportunities to connect with and provide experiences to their fans.
In our conversation, you'll hear Kaila's journey from creating her first A.I. bot to developing A.I. education programs to empower musicians. We explore her views on the future of music NFTs, the ethical considerations of A.I. in creative industries, and her vision for new revenue models that benefit artists in the A.I. era.
From hip-hop to high-tech, join us as Kaila shares her passion for music, technology, and humanity, all the while maintaining her roots as the "A.I. Homegirl"!

Cincinnati was also named the number one city in the United States for street art by USA Today this year. The city’s 300 awe-inspiring outdoor murals come alive in the evening during BLINK.

He’s operated in the advertising, creative, and entertainment fields for over 15 years, working with a diversity of clients to help create rich visual content and engaging experiences for all audiences.

Today, you'll hear Chaske's journey into projection mapping and immersive art, how he integrates A.I. into his creative process, and his perspective on the evolving relationship between artists and artificial intelligence. We also discuss the technical challenges of working at such a large scale, his approach to crafting experiences for live audiences, and his vision for the future of immersive art.

How do we get back to human beings and not just humans doing?
Today, we have the show’s first-ever live recorded episode with two A.I. luminaries, guest Dinesh Maheshwari and guest co-host Joanna Peña-Bickley, who explore what it means to be human in the age of artificial intelligence.
Dinesh is a humanist entrepreneur, advisor to several startups, and Chief Technology Advisor at Groq. With a career across 9 startups, 3 of which he co-founded, Dinesh brings three decades of experience to the machine learning space. He has also served on the Board of Advisors of several startups and Board of Directors of industry organizations and has been awarded 58 US patents with 23 additional patents pending.
Joanna is the Founder & CEO of Vibes AI, an A.I.-first wearable company prioritizing brain vitality, and the Founder of Ai Design Corps™, a non-profit on a mission to embed resilience into the future of learning and work. Known as one of Alexa's moms and the "Mother of Cognitive Experience Design," for over 25 years, she's launched visionary A.I. products for Amazon, AWS, Uber, GM, Citibank, and IBM, garnering patents and global acclaim.
In today’s conversation, you’ll hear:
Dinesh’s vision as a "humanist entrepreneur".
How Dinesh distinguishes between human and machine intelligence and the differences and importance of insight and intuition-based learning as compared to path-based learning.
What A.I. inference is, and why it's important.
His perspective on the four levels of human existence, and we also explore the need for the humanities and the potential for meaningful human interactions in commercial spaces.
Discover Dinesh’s thoughts on how A.I. can unlock new value creation and free us from, in his own words, "productivity enslavement."
You won’t want to miss his and Joanna’s passionate belief in embracing our human potential in the age of A.I. — Enjoy!

Are creativity and freedom inextricably linked?
In today’s episode, Creativity Squared host Helen Todd answers a listener’s question on the relationship between freedom and constraints in the creative process.
As we enter the Imagination Age, please accept this as your invitation to play in the playground of possibility. Exploring this brave new world requires nuanced conversations around what it means to be human and what this collective future we’re co-authoring together looks and feels like. We need human creativity and imagination now more than ever to break free from the patterns of the past that no longer serve us. And that’s why we’re diving into this listener question.
In this episode, we'll explore:
Does creativity flourish more with scarcity or with freedom?
Can A.I. or GenAI match human creativity?
How are artists collaborating with personal language models?
What does Burning Man have to do with this?

From aerospace engineering to being a leading voice of Responsible A.I., meet Dr. Kelly Cohen.
Dr. Cohen is the Brian H. Rowe Endowed Chair in Aerospace Engineering and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. With over three decades of experience in Fuzzy Logic systems research, Dr. Cohen has advanced Explainable A.I. from autonomous robotics to personalized medicine.
His work has earned him the presidency of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society and grants from NSF, NIH, USAF, and NASA. He's also co-founded Genexia and serves as Chief Scientific Advisor for BrandRank.ai, bridging academia and industry in the pursuit of ethical, transparent A.I. systems.
Dr. Cohen is also our organizing partner for CincyAI for Humans, the largest A.I. meetup in all of Ohio that I co-host with Kendra Ramirez. CincyAI takes place every month at the University of Cincinnati’s Digital Futures building which is an interdisciplinary research facility home to globally recognized leading research in responsible A.I., including Dr. Cohen’s lab. As A.I. rapidly integrates into every aspect of our lives, Dr. Cohen's focus on responsible development couldn't be more timely or critical.
In today's conversation, you'll hear Dr. Cohen's insights on the current state of A.I., the importance of Responsible A.I. development, and his vision for a future where A.I. enhances human capabilities without compromising ethics. We'll discuss his work in testing and verifying A.I. systems, the exciting developments happening at the University of Cincinnati, and why he believes that being responsible with A.I. doesn't mean sacrificing innovation.
Dr. Cohen’s enthusiasm for Responsible A.I. and his commitment to making the world a better place through technology is truly infectious. Join us as we explore the intersection of A.I., ethics, and human potential with one of the field's most passionate and knowledgeable voices.

Do you allow the A.I. large language model (LLM) chatbots to freely scrape your content or not?
Today, we have a special episode featuring two experts with unique perspectives on this question — Jon Accarrino on how content creators and media publishers can protect and get compensated for their work and Pete Blackshaw on how brands can optimize their content for the A.I. chatbot answers that he calls the “Prompted Moment of Truth.”
Jon is an award-winning media executive recognized as the LMA's "Digital Innovator of the Year." With a background in pioneering new platforms and growing digital revenue for media leaders, Jon now guides brands to evolve through his media technology and A.I. strategy consultancy, Ordo Digital.
