Ever meet someone that had a profound impact on you and then before you could tell them or before you realized their impact, poof, they were out of your life?

This was a topic that became the focus of one of our upcoming podcast episodes. Since it won’t be out for a couple of months, I thought it would be a good blog topic today.

When I post a new blog or a new episode of our podcast is released, I find myself a little let down at the number of blog or podcast engagements. I am sure my lack of marketing skills is a strong contributor to the data. No matter, I also have to remind myself, what I see isn’t the whole picture, as complex algorithms determine whether or not they will count it as a read or listen. Every once in a while, I am validated, when someone reaches out to me and tells me how something they read or listen to resonated with them.

I was working with my amazing web designer, Kate and we were talking about the rapid onset of AI. I told her the college my husband teaches at has an AI detector, but I couldn’t understand how they could pick up whether it was AI. I am not tech-savvy enough to understand everything she said, but AI can essentially leave a fingerprint.
