PODCAST INTERVIEWS OF MATT BRITTON
What Makes Us Human In An AI World with Joe Hart and Matt Britton
As AI takes on not just what we do—but how we decide, create, and communicate—the question isn’t how fast technology will move. It’s how deeply we’ll remember what makes us human. In this episode of The Future of Less Work, host Nirit Cohen sits down with Joe Hart, CEO of Dale Carnegie, and Matt Britton, CEO of Suzy and author of Generation AI, to explore how people can future-proof themselves in an AI-driven world. Together, they unpack what happens as AI redefines work—from the end of the knowledge economy to the rise of new “co-creation” roles where humans and machines work side by side. Matt shares why creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving have become the new competitive edge, while Joe reveals why empathy, trust, and communication will matter more than ever for leaders navigating change.
The Founder Podcast Interview With Matt Britton
Matt is a serial entrepreneur and hustler, getting his start at Boston University and becoming somewhat of a legend as a club promoter in the area. After building a reputation, he began to engage with local companies who wanted to advertise at his events and leverage his network of 75 college student promoters to help promote their businesses. That was the foundation for his first marketing agency, The Magma Group. After a couple of twists and turns and the dot com crash in the early 2000s, he ultimately started a second agency called Mr. Youth (which later rebranded to MRY), a full stack marketing agency and one of the first to run social marketing for big brands. As a part of MRY, he built software called CrowdTap to help manage and incentivize a massive network of college reps, not too unlike the network of college promoters he had built in his early days. CrowdTap was the foundation for the business he runs today called Suzy.
