030 | When Storytelling with AI Goes Silent: What Machines Still Can’t Hear

What if AI isn’t the biggest threat to your voice - but your own silence is?

In this episode, global storyteller Dr. Rod Berger joins me to unpack the power of narrative in an era of automation. From interviewing the Pope to working in refugee camps, Rod’s stories remind us that emotion, nuance, and lived experience can’t be faked by a machine.

If you’ve ever felt like content creation is getting noisier - but somehow less human - this conversation is your permission slip to slow down, listen in, and tell the kind of stories AI never could.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why listening is the most underused storytelling skill in business
• How synthetic voices are diluting emotional connection
• What it really means to be the main character in your story
• Why origin stories still matter in an AI-saturated world
• How to build content around moments only you could have lived
