About this episode

David Ebner discusses the evolving importance of storytelling in content marketing amidst the rise of AI-generated content.

AI content has collapsed the distance between bad and passable. David Ebner, President and founder of Content Workshop and Chatter AI, brings 13 years of enterprise content experience and a classically trained storytelling background to explain why differentiation now determines who wins. The conversation covers a brand story framework that positions the audience as hero rather than the founder, strategic placement of human creativity across the content workflow instead of relegating it to a final QA gate, and a content ideation model that surfaces real-time, relevance-driven topics to build audience trust—particularly in high-scrutiny YMYL verticals like cybersecurity.
