AI is everywhere—and it’s making some entrepreneurs question if their voice still matters. This episode breaks down what nobody’s saying: as AI gets better, your humanity becomes your unfair advantage. Shirlee pulls back the curtain on the real reason your face, your voice, and your unpolished moments on video matter more than ever.

You’ll learn:

• The “authenticity threshold” your audience is subconsciously filtering every video through
• Why trying to sound “natural” is backfiring for most creators
• How to show up imperfectly and still convert clients who’ve been ghosting everyone else
• A simple mindset shift that turns your next video into a magnet for trust and engagement

This isn’t about fighting AI—it’s about outlasting it by doing what machines can’t: connecting.
