You might think it's saving you time, but what's AI costing you and your business? 

“When I see a post from friends or colleagues that screams, 'AI WROTE THIS,' I scroll right by. You might think it’s saving you time, but it’s causing you to lose a member of your audience. I want more of you and your authentic voice. Not the voice of a tool you’ve outsourced your talent and transmissions to.” -Anjel Hartwell 

I'm back with more AI talk! This time, I'm not looking on the bright side like I did in my episode on Creative Ways to Use AI in your business... 

This time I'm sharing some of the dark side(s) of AI. Cause what's a spooky month without some truly horrific findings, amiright? 

In this episode, we're looking at energy expenditure, the tradeoffs to outsourcing our brilliance to AI, and whether or not these tools that are making business "easier" are really worth it. 

Listen to hear: 

  • Is using AI outsourcing our brilliance? 
  • What are the energy costs associated with AI, and what role do we play in the overall environmental impact? 
  • What are the privacy/safety concerns when using AI? 
  • What creative/copywriting risks do we run with AI? 
  • Does it really save time? 
  • How do we as business owners draw the line for ourselves? 
  • And so much more?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
