What happens when AI can create almost anything in seconds?

In this episode of the AI Profit Leaders Podcast, Chris Wiser sits down with Josh Lee in Austin, Texas, during South by Southwest week for a deep conversation on AI, leadership, branding, trust, and the future of human connection.

Josh shares his journey from the early MySpace marketing days to building Humanize, a platform designed to measure digital reputation and human impact in the age of AI. Together, they unpack the rapid evolution of AI tools, the coming AGI wave, the role of leaders in guiding teams through change, and why human connection may become the most valuable asset in business.

They also discuss:

• Why AI should empower teams instead of replace them
• The dangers of chasing every new AI tool
• How leaders can create intentional AI strategies
• The future of personal branding and “human trust scores”
• AI burnout, productivity, and workplace culture
• Why quality connection matters more than content volume
• The changing future of work, business, and authority online
• Lessons from MySpace, server farms, and the early internet era

If you're an entrepreneur, agency owner, creator, MSP, marketer, or business leader trying to navigate the AI revolution without losing the human element, this episode is for you.
