In this episode, I dive into the conversation around AI and authenticity. Many people worry that using AI, like ChatGPT, will make them sound robotic or replace their individuality. I share my personal approach and philosophy: AI is a tool, not a takeover. I walk through my 90/10 rule for content refinement, showing how AI can help organize ideas, polish writing, and repurpose messages while still requiring you to bring discernment, faith, and personality. I also offer five practical ways to use AI to amplify your brand voice—from turning brain dumps into clear messaging to capturing your unique tone with custom instructions. This episode is about using AI with intention, creating boundaries, and keeping your humanity at the center so you can sound more like the person you’re becoming, not less.
