Hala Taha 3:29
I am so looking forward to this conversation. I feel like there's so much for our young improfiters to learn about unreasonable hospitality. So AI is obviously taking over. I can't stop hearing news about layoffs and jobs being automated and Business for entrepreneurs is better than ever in terms of AI, and we're getting so much efficiency, but we are losing that human connection in all of it. So I'd love to understand from you why hospitality is more important than ever.
