Welcome to the Better Questions Podcast; the show where we dare to go deeper.
Every week, we pick a topic and sit down with thinkers, doers and challengers, to hear not only what they already know, but to explore what they’re still learning.
I’m Kevin Hohe…construction leader, lifelong learner, and your host.
We’re opening space for more honest conversations, for slow, meaningful insights in a fast-moving world.
Because maybe…the right question at the right time…can change everything.

On this episode of Better Questions, Kevin Hohe sits down with Matthew for a candid breakdown of AI hype, viral misinformation, and how convenience can quietly erode human judgment.
Using a bogus “forever battery” video as a jumping off point, they trace how slick AI content blurs truth and fiction, why our hope makes us vulnerable to clickbait, and how markets don’t just serve our tastes, they shape them.
The conversation pushes past fact checking into philosophy, exploring where to draw the line on tools that save time versus systems that think for us, and what it means to “starve the machine” by refusing engagement.
In this episode:
• How AI generated videos manufacture credibility and harvest engagement
• Markets that don’t just meet demand but mold it toward sameness
• The difference between tools that speed us up and tools that supplant our thinking
• Why hope is a feature misinformers exploit, not a bug
• A practical test for your feed: trust your BS meter first, research second
• What starving the machine looks like in daily life without going off the grid
