  • Planning a Brand Strategy Blueprint for Your Book: Steps for Real Authority

    Planning a Brand Strategy Blueprint for Your Book: Steps for Real Authority
    Jun 5 2025
    Start your book the right way with a brand strategy blueprint. In this episode of the Wait What Really OK, Brand Communications and Optics Podcast, I break down what it means to plan your book with purpose and clarity. Many people rush to write a book for the wrong reasons. Some want to look like an authority. Some use AI or quick prompts to get it done fast. But if you want your story to stand out and build real credibility, you need a strong foundation.

    I share some practical steps for authors and professionals who value transparency, authority, and longterm stability. I talk about the risks of shortcuts, self-publishing scams, and the truth behind the “Amazon bestseller” label. I explain why building a brand strategy blueprint for your book matters as much as the writing itself. This episode covers publishing options, the importance of chapter titles, and how to protect your intellectual property from the start.

    You’ll hear how to use your book to support speaking, consulting, and other services. I walk through my own experiences with self-publishing, hybrid publishing, and working with major publishers. I show how planning your book’s brand strategy blueprint early can help you reach your audience, build trust, and set yourself apart in a crowded market.

    If you want to make your book part of a bigger message, this episode may be for you. I focus on actionable insights for professionals and businesses who care about honorable business practices. I talk about outlining, titling, and marketing your book before it’s even finished. I also touch on the value of your own quotes, building your online presence, and protecting your work with smart contracts and legal reviews.

  • Honest AI will not replace humans.

    Honest AI will not replace humans.
    May 20 2025
    Can AI truly replace humans, or is there a better path forward? I’m Loren Weisman, a Brand Communications and Optics Strategist, and in this episode of Wait What Really OK, titled “Honest AI Will Not Replace Humans: A Hope for the Future of Ethical AI,” I dive into this pressing question. This podcast video targets Creators, Coaches, Investors, Strategists, Consultants, Small Businesses, Startups, and Professionals who value trust and transparency.

    Let’s explore Honest AI, the strongest keyword phrase, and why I believe it’s key to balancing tech with human values. I focus on bridging authenticity with strategy, and in this discussion, I share my views on Honest AI as a tool for collaboration, not replacement. Think Human AI Collaborations that lift your work, or Blockchain AI for secure systems. I touch on Machine Learning, Digital Transformation, and Truthful AI as paths to growth. And I break down concepts like Advanced Multimodal AI Systems, Agentic AI and Autonomous Agents, plus Quantum AI for Specialized Applications.

    I also share my thoughts on Reasoning and Frontier Models or Industry Specific AI Applications. Through my solo work and work with the Fish Stewarding Group, I stress AI Ethics and the future of ethical AI. You’ll walk away with ideas to apply Honest AI in ways that align with long-term credibility for your business or brand. Join me to explore practical steps for navigating the future of ethical AI. I believe transparency shapes how we use tech, from Startups to established firms.

    My take? Build communication foundations that prioritize truth over hype. Subscribe for more insights on this topic and strategies that fit your goals.

    May 13 2025
    Hey there, I’m Loren Weisman, Brand Communications and Optics Strategist, and welcome to Wait What Really OK. In this episode, “How My Daughter Changed My Approach to Business Integrity” I open up about the deep impact my daughter has had on my life and career.

    Fatherhood shifted everything for me. It reshaped my views on ethical business practices and business integrity. I share stories from my past in music and TV, where deception often trumped authenticity. Those experiences left me uneasy. But becoming a dad made me rethink my path. I wanted to build a legacy of brand authenticity and transparency in business for her.

    I talk about rejecting unethical tactics and focusing on authentic leadership. My goal now is working with folks who value social responsibility over shortcuts. I also touch on personal challenges like health struggles and divorce, and how they’ve reinforced my stand on honesty.

    This episode dives into why ethical marketing matters. I critique the opportunism in today’s business world and push for a return to real values. My daughter inspires me to seek genuine connections and focus on legacy building. I believe we can create systemic change if we hold each other to higher standards.

    If you’re into personal transformation or want to align your work with integrity, this might resonate. Subscribe for more on ethical business and branding. Drop a comment with your thoughts on balancing fatherhood and business or share your own journey. Let’s build something real together.
