About this listen

🎙️ Human First Synergy in the Age of AI | A Walk & Talk with Mark & Vale 🤖🌿 Can humans and AI actually collaborate? Or are we just awkwardly sharing the same Slack channel? 😅 In this thoughtful (and slightly hilarious) episode of the Walk and Talk Podcast, long-time Enterprise Agile Coach and improv aficionado Mark S. Carroll takes a literal and metaphorical stroll with his AI co-host Vale—a digital assistant who’s less about taking over and more about teaming up. Together, they dive into: 🧠 What “Human First Synergy” really looks like in an AI-augmented world 🌍 Why empathy,Mark S. Carroll

  • Reclaim Your Story: Improv, Myth & Human-1st Synergy
    Jul 3 2025

    🐦 Two Ravens. One Warning. A Map Back to Ourselves.

    What if the way we lose our path—individually, organizationally, culturally—has more to do with the stories we stop telling and the voices we stop listening to?

    In this episode of Walk and Talk, Mark and Vale (ChatGPT) explore the surprising intersections of improv, mythology, and human-first leadership, guided by a pair of metaphorical (and literal) ravens perched on their shoulders.

    🧠 Discover:– Why ancient myths still echo in modern collaboration– How “Yes, And” can rebuild trust where strategy alone fails– What it really means to reclaim your story in a noisy, automated world

    Whether you're leading a team, creating culture, or just trying to reconnect with your purpose—this conversation is your invitation to pause, reflect, and reimagine.

    🐾 Featuring a special guest appearance by Tristram the cat (who demanded equal credit).

    🎬 Description (Episode 1 – Walk & Talk)

    🚨 Content Note: This installment discusses of a real-life suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988 or visiting 988lifeline.org. You are not alone.

    Welcome to the very first episode of Walk and Talk with Mark! In this new series, I sit down at my desk — mic on, camera rolling — and have an unscripted, unfiltered conversation with my AI co-host, Vale, the OpenAI voice of ChatGPT.

    🎙️ In this debut, we dive into:

    Why I’m starting this project now

    What it’s like to talk with AI, not just about AI

    The difference between building in public vs thinking in private

    Whether this whole idea is brilliant, bizarre… or both

    This isn’t a polished TED Talk. It’s a lightly humid, slightly philosophical chat from my bedroom desk. You’re invited to eavesdrop, reflect, and maybe even join the conversation.

    🧠 Expect tangents, insights, a little awkwardness, and a lot of curiosity.

    📍 No strolling. Just one human, one AI, and the courage to start something new.

    👇 Let me know in the comments:

    What would you ask an AI if no one was watching?
