Televisionation—Friday Fireside: Next Stop Willoughby’s Patrick Donoghue on AI Generation

November 5, 2025

The Friday Fireside welcomes Patrick Donoghue, Founder and President of Next Stop Willoughby, Inc. And after I CERTIFIED that I was speaking with Patrick and not an AI-generated FAKE (!!!!), we talked about how the creative community is going through the Four A’s of new technology: avoidance, anger, acceptance and adoption. Everybody from the kid creating social media in his parents’ garage in Bedford Falls to industry giants like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg is looking at AI generation as a palette rather than a threat.
