Standing a Little Taller with Lawren Sample

and I have been talking, we were talking earlier today about like holding onto the things that it means to be human.

And as much as it's like, we, we can't all resist AI.

Like, but I think that there's a time and a place for it.

And what we should all be holding tight to are the things that actually make us the human experience worthwhile where you're like, you are working with people.

You're like working through creative problems together.

You're seeing the joy at the end of something that you created in collaboration.

Like that is what it means to be human.

That is why that's like, what makes work worthwhile.

And I think that if we suck all of that out of everything that everybody does and out of all the craft of it, there will not be craft.

Where's the joy? Where's the joy? Where's the joy? But also it's like, where is the tension that comes from the human that was a part of the process and brings their own experience, brings their childhood memories, brings their like...

drive to be creating something with another person.

Like, I think that partnership is so valuable.

And it's like if we give away all the things that it means to be human, what are we all doing it here for?

Yeah.

And I think that the more you're like, no, I'm holding onto this.

I'm going to make sure that like my brand stands behind the craft and the people who have done this forever.

That to me is the ultimate luxury.

Yeah.

Like is everything that it means to be human.

Like we have to,

Yeah.

And you can tell the difference in the DNA of something that is just off of the factory line because it's what the data says people need to produce versus this Italian man who's like, yeah.

I've done this for a long time.

He's bringing his experience.

He's bringing he knows what it feels like to have his foot in a boot, which is way different than just specifications coming from.
