AI isn’t the enemy. Indifference is.
This week, I’m diving into a topic that’s quietly sabotaging a lot of great businesses: trust. More specifically, how we’re eroding it every time we let AI pretend to be us.
I’ve seen it too many times lately, where auto-comments go wrong, written DMs and videos sound and look like they’ve been created by a robot, and marketers admit bots are handling their engagement.
Here’s the problem: when your clients think they’re talking to you but they’re actually talking to AI, you’re not saving time. You’re actually losing credibility.
In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how AI is being misused in ways that damage relationships and cost you real opportunities. AI can be helpful, but it can’t build friendships or remember who it’s talking to, and those are things that should never be underestimated when building a business on trust and credibility.
I break down the Trust Equation, share personal stories of trust misfires I’ve witnessed, and offer a better path forward. One where you use AI as a tool, not a stand-in for human connection.
If you care about relationships, this episode serves as a reminder to protect them. Because while others are chasing shortcuts, you have a chance to stand out by showing up.
