AI for Creative Professionals: Practical Tools for Designers, Writers & Marketers

You know that fatigue you get before you've even opened an app? Like you're already tired in advance of whatever you're about to scroll through. I've had that for a while and I wanted to know if it was just me being cranky or whether something was actually happening at scale. Turns out it's both. And the numbers are a bit wild. In this episode I go into the research on content overload, and the fi...

Okay so I'm gonna be real with you... when most people think about podcast production, they picture a whole operation. Studio time, an editor, someone writing show notes, someone else doing socials. Days between recording and publishing. And I get it, because that's how a lot of shows run. Mine doesn't work that way. It's just me. No team, no production days, no back and forth with anyone.

I spent a night in the r/ArtistHate subreddit and followed every link I could find, and what I discovered kept me up until 3am. 26,000 artists documenting the real-time collapse of their careers, backed by hard data, court documents, and industry reporting.

This episode is me walking through the actual data, live, reacting to it in real time, and trying to figure out what it means for us. Some of it is not great, some of it is genuinely wild. One story involves Tyler Perry and $800...

Hey Creative Friends! Just got back from Greece (yes, I was working on holiday because my brain literally cannot turn off when I'm following AI newsletters and finding new tools to test). Today we're discussing AI image generation - specifically the tools I actually use for real work, not the ones I wish I had time to master. I'll be honest - I'm not an AI art expert. I use these tools for specifi...

Hey Creative Pros! So I was hunting for new podcasts the other day (as one does when you have a podcast addiction), and I found this personal development show with like 200 episodes and tons of reviews. But then I read the description and... oof. It was SO obviously AI-written. Like painfully obvious. "Unlock your true potential," "elevate your business game," "unleash your superpowers" - you know...

Remember when we all thought layer masks in Photoshop were complicated? Or when you first encountered the pen tool in Illustrator and wondered if it was designed specifically to make you cry? Well, AI might feel like that right now - both exciting and slightly overwhelming. If you've been hiding under your desk hoping this whole AI thing would just go away (I see you!) this episode is your friendl...

That point where you're staring at an empty Premiere Pro project and your coffee is doing nothing except making your eye twitch faster?
