Brand Voice vs. AI Voice with Justin Blackman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of us can spot AI-written copy now, even if we can’t say exactly why. With tools like Pangram scanning content for it, sounding like the default has real consequences, and a clearly defined brand voice is one of the best ways to sound like a specific person again. In this episode, we talk with brand voice expert Justin Blackman , creator of Voice Finder and the Verbatim tool, about what brand voice actually is and how to find yours. Justin breaks it down into three things you can measure: v
Humanizing Data (and Strengthening Sales) with Tanisha Tate Woodson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most research gets done to communities: someone extracts the data, publishes the paper, and is never heard from again. Tanisha Tate Woodson built a firm on the opposite premise — and then did the less glamorous thing, which was turn that premise into an actual codified method.

In this episode, we walk through our own fall programs: Meg’s Signal, a year-long mentorship focused on AI discoverability, and the seventh round of Jessica’s Define Your Foundations cohort . We’re not pitching them so much as taking them apart — what’s in each phase, what or
Why We Need a Party for Our Failures with Jess Manuszak (opens the original)
Read excerpt
[A note before you listen: This episode includes candid discussion of suicide, suicidal ideation, mental health crisis, psychiatric hospitalization, addiction, and chronic illness. Please take care of yourself — skip it, save it for later, or listen with someone.] Failure is one of the only universal experiences in business, and it’s also the one we’re least willing to say out loud. Most of the time when failure does get talked about publicly, it’s been sanded down into a tidy redemption arc or
