Our radioactive spider bite: The origin story of Aggressively Human
“I'm just a girl looking around the internet trying not to stare at my own reflection on Zoom all day.”
What does being Aggressively Human mean? And why would two very busy service-based business owners start yet another podcast, when we could be instead posting 5 times a day on social media?
Tune in to hear the origin story of the Aggressively Human idea: what it is and where it came from and why we're collaborating on it.
- The Birth of “Aggressively Human”: How Jessica and Meg met, and the turn of phrase that got stuck in Meg’s head like a Smash Mouth song and turned into this podcast
- What being “Aggressively Human” means to us and why it’s a zig to more relational strategies in business when the market appears to be zagging
- Why this podcast is so relevant for us now, both as collaborators and business owners, based on the market trends in AI, automations, and algorithms. (Ensh*ttification of the internet, we’re looking at you).
- The format of the podcast, including interviews and behind-the-scenes looks at our own businesses

Aggressively Human: Online Business in the Age of AI, Algorithms & Automations
In a world focused on more: more content, more followers, more marketing, more scale, more noise… we’re facing less trust, less contact, less reach. We’re drowning in AI-generated slop, being pitch-slapped by “personalized” email funnels that couldn’t be farther from authentic, and struggling to be seen by a pay-to-play algorithm. It’s never been easier to create and connect more cheaply and at more scale, with less trust and more skepticism.But for experts and service-based businesses? We’re seeing the pendulum swing back. The answer isn’t to play by these trends. It’s to be **aggressively human.**
