So what IS brand authenticity, and how to build it, in the AI age? – Decode your brand DNA, clarify your vision, and decide what humans control—and what AI supports. Humans must lead the creative work of connecting with other humans. That’s how you build an authentic brand that lasts. Consumers trust brands more than governments or media—but only when brands live by real values, vision, and purpose. Brands that show up authentically in culture and community.

Half of consumers say AI content turns them off. Coca-Cola’s AI polar bear ad? Backlash. Because people can feel when the human touch is missing. Consumers aren’t fooled by polished AI “slop”. 

AI is powerful for research and efficiency. But when it takes over your brand’s voice, you risk losing trust. Authenticity builds trust. Trust builds loyalty.

Take Cracker Barrel. When they tried changing their logo, customers pushed back. Why? Because authenticity is about staying true to your identity, history, and soul.

In a rising sea of AI-enabled mediocrity, what makes a brand stand out? One word: authenticity.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
