In this episode, I return to the mic without a script, without an outline, and without a filter.
What prompted it was an honest message from a long-time listener and friend who told me, “I miss the Cliff who just spoke from his heart.”
I’ve been consciously experimenting with AI, structure, and new creative formats, all while staying attuned to whether the frequency behind my voice still feels like me. The frequency has remained intact. What I’m navigating now is how to continue using these tools and formats in a way that supports, rather than shapes, that authenticity. In this episode, I open that inquiry wide and let you hear me work it out in real time… unscripted, unfiltered, and fully present.
I speak about:
- The difference between authentic and inauthentic voice, whether scripted or unscripted.
- Why some of my earlier content felt more real because of presence.
- How I’m navigating AI as a co-creative partner without losing my essence.
- What I’ve learned about my own “Guardian” and how he tries to take the wheel.
- The cost of speaking the truth (and why it’s still worth it).
- And why I’m choosing devotion over performance moving forward.
If you’ve ever wondered what it sounds like when someone stops creating for approval and starts creating from soul… this is it.
