What's left when AI can fake everything?


Howdy Reader!

"Be authentic." You've heard it a thousand times. But it's getting complicated, because AI can now clone your voice, your face, even the way you write. So what's actually left that makes you, you?

This Friday, we're sitting down with someone who has built an entire career on that question.

Michael King Jr. is a two-time Best Executive Coach and the founder of Teams.Coach, and he's genuinely a category of one. He opens every keynote with a live saxophone solo and an original cinematic film. Part artist, part analyst. His new film is even called "Paid to Pretend," all about what it costs you to show up as someone you're not.

Zac and I are getting into the good stuff:

  • How to tell the real you from the version you perform online
  • Why your humanity is your last real advantage in the AI age
  • How to turn a creative gift into a business without killing what made it special
  • The one move to make Monday morning to land your next client or gig

If you're a creator, solopreneur, or small business owner trying to stand out by being more like yourself, not less, this one's for you.

Howdy Reader! This week I lost a good twenty minutes fighting my own computer over a job that should've taken two. Wrong password three times, until it threatened to lock me out like I was a burglar breaking into my own house. Then the file I'd saved somewhere "clever" (So clever that past me thought it was a good idea to hide it from present me). Then, right on cue, an app decided THAT was the perfect moment to install a critical update. By the time I was ready to do the actual work, I'd...

Howdy Reader! There is a job in your industry that nobody respectable will take. It pays too little, or it is too small, or it is just a little embarrassing. Billy Thorpe built a business not worrying about any of that... When he started, the established creators in his space were turning down fifty-dollar offers, some of them rudely. Billy took every one. He has now done about four thousand five hundred of them, he holds over fifteen hundred brand contacts, and he runs the whole thing by...

Howdy Reader! There is a folder on your hard drive with a book in it. Or a course, or the guide you keep meaning to build. It has been in there a while, and you know exactly which folder I mean. This Friday we're sitting down with Lisa DiNoto Glassner of The Castle Run, and her first book comes out the week after. She left a Big Law career, built a business around what she actually loves, and then finished the book. Seventeen chapters, about two hundred and fifty pages, published under her...
