About this episode

Maddie Peschong discusses her experiences and thoughts on using AI for content creation in her business, addressing ethical concerns and maintaining a human touch.

I love the traveling, conference attending, and speaking part of my job, but I’m a homebody at heart. As I jump back into real-time content creation this week, it had me thinking about something that kept coming up everywhere I went: AI. And honestly? I have a lot of thoughts. This episode is a very real look at how I’m using AI in my business right now and how I truly feel about it. On one hand, it’s an incredible tool. On the other, I’ve got ethical concerns, environmental questions, and a strong resistance to losing the human side of what we do. So instead of pretending I have the “right” answer, I’m walking you through what I’m actually doing - especially when it comes to content, and how I’m trying to use AI without losing my voice (or my mind). We’re talking: The pressure to “keep up” with AI (and the guilt that comes with it) Ethical + environmental concerns no one’s really answering AI tools I actually use in my photography business Why original thought has to come first (always) My exact workflow for turning one podcast into emails + social content The difference between using AI well vs. sounding like a robot Links & Resources ✨ Join Rebrand : My 12 month…
