Hey friends, Chase here.
It’s a real question. And let’s be honest—it’s one a lot of us are quietly asking.
Every day, new tools drop that make it easier (and faster) to generate content, art, writing, music—you name it. The machines are learning. Fast.
So where does that leave you?
If you’re a creator, this moment isn’t the end. It’s the beginning—if you choose it.
Because here’s the truth:
AI can copy the *output*. But it can’t copy *you*—your soul, your story, your weirdness, your taste. The things that made you a creative person in the first place.
And that’s where the opportunity lives.
In this episode, I unpack how to stand out in the age of AI—not by competing with it, but by doubling down on what makes your work unmistakably human.
The big idea?
Anyone can generate something. But only you can *create* something with heart, with history, with soul.
This isn’t about fearing the future. It’s about shaping it—on your terms. Using the tools, yes. But leading with your voice, your vision, your humanity.
Because that’s what will make your work matter tomorrow—even when machines are everywhere.
So take a hard look at what you’re making. Trim the generic. Amplify the real. And build a body of work that says something no AI ever could: *“This is me.”*

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
