Believe it or not, this entire episode was created with the help of AI tools. And I'm not ashamed — I'm genuinely excited about it, because this may be some of my most authentic and creative work yet.
If you’re poking around the online business world right now, you’ve likely seen the backlash: AI fatigue. Creators swearing off automation, Google's algorithm updates sidelining weak content, “going manual” becoming a badge of honor. But here’s the thing — it’s not AI that’s killing authenticity. It’s lazy strategy. In this episode, Ruth cuts through the noise to show how AI, when used strategically and thoughtfully, doesn’t dilute your voice — it amplifies it.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why the real problem isn’t AI — it’s the quality of the content.
- Ruth’s personal AI journey: from early disappointment to creative liberation.
- How AI has leveled-up her business with time savings and better content—without losing authenticity.
- Why “garbage in, garbage out” is real, and how to add yourself into the process to avoid it.
- Real-world ROI: From podcast creation to email, Instagram, and systems, AI has radically increased speed and impact.
- How AI can support customer service, team operations, strategy, and more — not just content.
- The mindset shift: AI isn’t a shortcut, it’s an amplifier — and your competitive edge.
