Danielle sits down with Jonathan Mast, founder of White Beard Strategies and that white-bearded AI guy... for a refreshingly real talk on what it means to use AI with integrity, clarity, and creativity.

Together, they explore:

  • The origin story of “White Beard”

  • Why AI isn’t going anywhere and how to use that to your advantage

  • Practical ways to integrate ChatGPT and AI tools into your daily life (yes, even for breakups and SOPs)

  • The myth of “AI ethics” and why ethics start with us

  • How AI can enhance team culture, not threaten it

  • What’s coming next: AI agents, automation, and your freedom

  • Why your humanness is the best asset you have

This isn’t about fearing the future. It’s about designing it...one thoughtful, powerful prompt at a time.

As the founder of White Beard Strategies, Jonathan focuses on helping businesses and their teams leverage AI to save time, increase profits, and deliver more value to their audiences. His philosophy emphasizes AI as a tool that amplifies skill and experience rather than replacing human creativity and judgment.

Jonathan’s dynamic speaking style breaks down complex AI concepts into actionable steps that audiences can implement immediately. His international speaking engagements across North America, Asia, and Australia are packed with practical takeaways, and his 100+ podcast appearances demonstrate his ability to connect with and educate diverse audiences.
