I've been thinking A LOT about AI lately - and having a lot of passionate discussions about it with various people. In my day job, I'm leading the design for a product suite that contains various AI apps. I also wrote a series of research articles about using GenAI in the key art process on LinkedIn. I'm also giving a talk as a mentor for the Women in AI Summit in the next couple weeks.

So like, suffice it to say: it's a bit of an obsessive topic for me. I'm willing to bet you've been thinking a lot about it too, and trying it out for yourself.

Given all the hype in the social feeds, I really wanted to put out some content that wasn't skewed towards trying to either persuade you to BLINDLY ADOPT IT or conversely - VEHEMENTLY REJECT IT. There's good and bad. Just like everything.

So, please enjoy the following top-of-mind advice I've got for you on the GenAI landscape. I already have a few more ideas for episodes, so you'll be hearing more from me soon.

I have a new episode that talks all about a hack I have to help you define your personal (or small business) branding.

I was inspired to share this after I went through an exhaustive process of defining my audience, catering my writing and graphics to that audience, and then realizing that the audience in my head wasn't who showed up. (And that that audience probably doesn't even exist 😫).

The people who've showed up for me this journey - they showed up for who I actually am, not who I thought I had to be to attract people into my corner of the world.

I wanted to give you a shortcut so you don't have to go through all that.

You can use it whether you're writing your LinkedIn summary, developing your design portfolio or your building your side hustle.

It takes literally 3 minutes. Listen on to find out more.
