The AI wave is reshaping industries faster than most leaders can process. Few people have navigated it from as many angles as Mike Todasco,  former Head of Innovation at PayPal, Visiting Fellow at the James Silberrad Brown Center for Artificial Intelligence at San Diego State University, and holder of 100+ patents.


In this Exclusive Drop episode of Is Anything Real in Paid Advertising?, host Adam W. Barney and Mike dig into:

  • The real implications of AI for human creativity
  • How corporate innovation at PayPal informs the future of AI adoption
  • Why today’s students at SDSU might hold the most accurate lens on what’s coming
  • The hard truths marketing leaders must face if they want to stay relevant

If you’ve ever wondered whether AI will kill creativity or ignite it, this conversation gives you the clarity to lead forward.
