Kira finally has an AI assistant that does more than hand her another checklist, and Mary wants details.

In this episode, Kira Derryberry and Mary Fisk-Taylor talk about getting some of the “wow” back into creative work. Kira shares how her ChatGPT assistant, Dottie, helped organize a weather-related headshot reschedule, draft client emails, and work through scheduling. We also discuss why workflow documents, proofreading, and human approval still matter.

Mary brings the conversation back to your photography business with a practical assignment: pick one thing you want to sell, identify what’s stopping your clients from buying, and turn those questions into useful content. Every post needs a job, whether it’s building trust, answering an objection, creating desire, or asking someone to take action.

We’re talking about:

• AI assistance that thinks ahead and helps move work forward
• Why your professional experience still has value when tools become more accessible
• Metricool, consistency, and getting back into a posting rhythm
• A two-week plan for more purposeful marketing

Plus: Oregon winery pigs, questionable airport carpet, wedding preparations, and why making an AI assistant look like a Squishmallow gives us pause.
