Podcast:The MOOD Podcast Published On: Wed Sep 24 2025 Description: What happens when the world is flooded with AI images, tools, and “perfect” feeds?In this episode of Moments of MOOD, I sit down to talk about what it really means to stay human in your work — and why your voice, your presence, and your lived experience are the ultimate creative edge.This isn’t a doom-scroll about AI taking our jobs. It’s an invitation. To look at what makes your art irreplaceable. To build a brand that AI can’t copy. To practice until your perspective becomes unmistakable.If you’ve been feeling the anxiety of this “AI flood,” this episode is a reminder: your humanity is the moat. Keep showing up. Keep telling stories. And keep making art that only you can make._________________________References in the video:Things that changed everything for mehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyQ5i28TD38&t=1sMy Core Brand Narrative Processhttps://mattjacobphotography.com/core-brand-narrative-processMIT study on brain vs. ChatGPThttps://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872_________________________Message me, leave a comment and join in the conversation!Support the showThank you for listening and for being a part of this incredible community.
