Truth About AI, Work & Human Creativity ft. Andy Oliva | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby

Published on: 12th December, 2025

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with Andy Oliva, Founder & CEO of Lucky Day Labs — a creative AI agency helping companies navigate one of the biggest shifts of our lifetime.

This isn’t an AI hype conversation.

It’s a grounded, honest discussion about where technology is actually headed — and how humans fit into the future.

Andy breaks down:

- Why AI isn’t here to replace people — but to free them

- How businesses should adopt AI without losing culture, trust, or soul

- The real risk behind chasing every new AI tool

- Why creativity, judgment, and leadership still matter more than ever

- What it takes to build systems that augment humans instead of eliminating them

From AI voice agents to product design, customer experience, leadership philosophy, and the ethics of automation — this episode goes deeper than most AI conversations you’ll hear.

If you’re a founder, operator, creative, or leader trying to make sense of AI without selling your humanity, this one’s for you.
