In Episode 5 of Ridiculously Professional, Branson and Zach dive headfirst into the messy, exciting world of tech in the workplace. From AI line judges at Wimbledon to 9-figure recruitment wars in Silicon Valley, they break down how legacy institutions are being forced to evolve...or get replaced. We call out lazy LinkedIn copy, emoji overload, and the subtle "AI tells" that scream ChatGPT.
