Your Secret Weapon Against AI (Spoiler: It’s You)

Your Secret Weapon Against AI (Spoiler: It’s You)

AI’s Not Coming For You (Unless You Let It)

Recently, I had an eye-opening convo with my friend David, a fellow speaker and thought leader. We’ve been around the block (and the speaking circuit), so we didn’t sugarcoat anything. AI is here. It’s smart. And yes – it can write keynotes, presentations, and social content faster than most humans.

BUT… that doesn’t mean it should.

This isn’t about fearing the robot uprising. It’s about understanding how to stay relevant and in-demand in a world where ChatGPT can crank out a killer blog post in 15 seconds.

Listen to our full interview here.

LET’S GO DEEPER ⤵

Here are 3 key takeaways from my convo with David, whether you’re a speaker, travel pro, coach, or small biz owner, this applies to you:

1. Expertise Still Matters

Yes, AI can whip up blog posts, travel itineraries, emails, or full-on presentations. But it can’t replace your real-life experience, your industry insights, or your ability to read the room (or the client). People still crave real human wisdom.

2. Authenticity is Your Advantage

AI can imitate, but it can’t relate. Your stories, personality, and delivery style are what make you memorable and trusted. Whether you’re on a stage, a sales call, or a Zoom consult, it’s that human connection that converts.

3. Your Brand is the Differentiator

When everyone has access to the same tools (including AI), the only thing that separates you is you. Your brand, your voice, and the way you show up online build credibility – that’s your brand. As David put it, “Market eminence beats machine output every time.” (Preach!)

HOW THIS LOOKS IN YOUR BUSINESS 👇

Want to make yourself AI-proof? Take action today:

🎥 Get on Camera. Now.

Post short videos sharing your ideas, stories, or client wins. Let people see the real you.

🧭 Show Your Process

Anyone can make a claim. But when you show your work, you build trust. Don’t be afraid to peel back the curtain.

❤️ Speak from the Heart, Not the Prompt

Use AI to brainstorm and as your intern but don’t outsource everything.Your lived experience is your superpower.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Don’t fear the future. AI is a tool, not a threat. But your voice, brand, and authenticity? That’s the real competitive edge.

So next time someone says, “AI is going to replace you,” smile and say:

“Only if I let it.”

P.S. I just opened up a few spots for private 1:1 Intensives between now and the end of the year. If you’ve been craving a clear plan—and want me in your back pocket to map out your next 90 days (in one session)—this is for you.

No overwhelm. No hustle. Just strategy that fits your real life. Once the spots are filled, that’s it.
