In the first slice of this two-part conversation, COVEpod host Paul Carganilla is joined by series regulars Amanda Benjamin, David Benjamin, Mike Pierce, and Nicole Pierce to talk about the importance of approaching creative work with a positive attitude. The discussion swirls around points made by Chat GPT's "artificially intelligent" points on the subject, highlighting the importance of humanity in the arts and creative problem-solving.

David Benjamin performs an improvised classical piano piece based on Barbara Frederickson's broaden-and-build theory, and Amanda Benjamin performs an original tune, "Survivor (Heather's Song)", on her electric guitar.
