Intentional AI: AI video rewards planning, not your ideas

About the podcast
Discussing Stupid is hosted by Virgil Carroll, High Monkey’s CEO and Principal Human Solutions Architect, and Cole Schlotthauer, High Monkey’s Content Strategy Specialist. We work with teams every day on digital strategy, content, and platform decisions, so we see firsthand where projects stall, overcomplicate, or miss the point entirely.
This podcast is a space we've created to address these problems directly (AKA rant). Each episode focuses on one practical topic in modern digital work, from AI to collaboration to content practices. We break down what is actually happening, why it goes wrong, and most importantly, what to do instead. The goal is simple: clearer direction, practical solutions, and a better path forward for teams who want to get it right.

Intentional AI: Just because AI can create images doesn't mean you should use them
