Everyone feels busy — but what are we really busy doing? Shane Hewitt and Tony Chapman unpack how technology, social media, and automation have blurred the lines between productivity and distraction. They explore how AI is transforming work, the risk of widening class divides, and what it means to stay human in an increasingly digital economy.

The conversation challenges the idea that being busy equals being valuable, asking whether society is mistaking motion for meaning. Chapman argues that both consumers and corporations have a responsibility to shape the future responsibly — one that balances progress with purpose.
