What you'll learn
Guest Charlie Fink (Disney, AIXR Pod, Forbes) What's Next?
Charlie discusses how AI is changing the business model, small teams get powerful, IP and judgment become scarce goods
What "Hollywood 2.0" actually looks like from the inside
When content becomes increasingly inexpensive, the scarce inputs are judgment, ownership and a reason to trust it.
The forms that come next — and how to position early
Personalized, procedural, character-driven storytelling is arriving. Where the openings are for people who learn AI now
Why this topic matters
Production economics were stuggling before AI arrived. What's being built next is the actual story: leaner teams delivering in months not years, margins restored, and IP, brands and creative judgment becoming the things that can't be commoditized. Charlie Fink lays out his thesis from forty years at the front of this. I'll ask question to dig deeper. Bring your questions.
