There are people in higher ed who see what's coming. And then there's Michael Stoner — someone who's been building for it before the rest of us even had language for it. In our debut episode, Volt and Mallory sit down with one of the architects of modern higher ed marketing to ask a deceptively simple question: How do you know what's real — and what's just hype? The answer has everything to do with the AI moment we're living through right now.

Mallory and Volt discuss the inspiration behind the series, as well as their goals for the podcast.
