Read excerpt
In this episode of Half Read, we pull a theme from “The Coming Wave” and it launches us into a conversation about AI, power, tech, and how fast the future is moving with our very first guest, TJ. We talk technology, parenting, work, privacy, creativity, and what it means to raise kids in a world where intelligence may no longer be the thing that sets humans apart.

Read excerpt
In this episode of Half Read, we pull a theme from “The Let Them Theory” and take some advice from Mel Robbins. We explore the messy reality of protecting our peace. From job loss and self-worth to parenting middle schoolers and caring what people think, we ask where “let them” ends and “let me” begins.
