2025 predictions - Podcast version

Hello friends, sorry for the intra-week intrusion!

I have found an incredible AI-powered tool that generates a 2 people conversation from my weekly posts. I want to try and test this, in parallel with my weekly newsletter.
I will also publish the most read posts from the past, in case someone missed them and prefers listening than reading.

This is AI generated, so please expect some inaccuracies!
Let me know what you think of this episode, and of the idea of publishing a podcast in parallel to the blog!

The podcast is also available on Spotify and Apple Podcast.

p.s. I know the AI has a weird pronunciation of my name… guess there are too few Giovannis in the training data!!
