Getting There
Brogan: I Stopped Trying To Get There | Says Who? Podcast
Brogan Garritt-Smith spent years making a weekly interview podcast called Getting There, asking more than a hundred people how they got where they are. Then she stopped, came off social media and the internet for ten months, and says she went in expecting to come back behind everybody else and found the opposite. In this episode she lays out why she went and what she is doing now: that she did not stop because she stopped loving conversations but because the question she was asking changed, that she stopped wondering where there was and started asking who decided there was a there in the first place, that 18 to 24 year olds in the UK spend close to 100 days a year online and the average teenager receives 237 notifications a day, that we have moved from using AI as a tool to handing it the parts of life that make us human, and that children are sitting in classrooms preparing for jobs that may not exist by the time they get there. She says she is not making this show to tell anyone what to think. She explains: What she says ten months off the internet did to her, and what she expected instead Why she says she stopped Getting There, and the question she says replaced it Who she says drew the map to success, and whether she wants to follow it What she says we have started handing to AI, and what she thinks it costs us Why she says the biggest lesson of her life is that there is not always a right or a wrong 0:00 I thought I would come back behind 3:04 237 notifications a day are not feelings 6:01 I didn't stop, the question changed 9:02 I don't want to fall into my life 12:04 Archaic classrooms for jobs that may not exist 15:01 There isn't always a right or a wrong Says Who? with Brogan Garritt-Smith.
