NEW SEASON: This Moment in Time
We are undoubtedly living through a pretty crazy time. Between geopolitics, climate change and AI, our world is rapidly changing. For good. We all feel it.
Join Lisa Corduff for a brand new conversation about this moment in time and the tensions, challenges, opportunities and beauty it presents.
Could this period of disruption be the perfect time for creating the kind of change we really want - for our planet and our people?
Big uncomfortable change is here... it's happening. And it's inescapable.
So how do we stay solid, informed and engaged, whilst milking all the goodness we can from this precious life?
Welcome to the conversation about This Moment in Time.

When AI Takes Your Job - A Conversation with Karly Nimmo
What happens when the skill you've spent decades perfecting becomes obsolete overnight? In this refreshingly honest conversation, I sit down with my long-time mate Karly Nimmo - a voiceover agency owner who's watching her entire industry disappear thanks to AI.
This isn't your typical "AI is scary" conversation. It's a real-world look at what's happening RIGHT NOW to creative professionals, and what it means for all of us as we navigate this unprecedented shift in how we work and live.
What We Discuss:
- Why Karly's voiceover agency went from thriving to almost non-existent in just a few years
- How AI is already infiltrating our lives in ways we don't even realise (spoiler: 60% of Instagram content isn't human-created)
- The generational divide: why Gen X faces unique challenges in this AI revolution
- What happens when your ChatGPT becomes an echo chamber of your own thoughts
- Why the question: "Does it matter if it's real?" should be a major talking point right now.
- The psychological impact of AI-induced psychosis (yes, that's a real thing)
- How to maintain agency in a world where the rules change monthly
Uncomfortable Truths We Explore:
- Your job might already be replaceable and you don't know it yet
- We're consuming AI content daily without realising it
- The skills that took decades to master can be replicated in seconds
- Government workers thinking they're "safe" might be in for a shock
- Our entire concept of authenticity is about to be stress-tested
The Bottom Line:
This conversation isn't about whether AI is good or bad - it's about acknowledging that the train has left the station. The question isn't whether change is coming; it's whether you're going to participate in shaping what comes next or wake up one day wondering what happened.
Resources Mentioned:
- Descript (AI editing software revolutionising audio/video production)
Connect With Karly:

This conversation will make you think differently about the future of work - whether you're ready or not.
