Everyone’s automating. What if your best marketing strategy… is just being human? ☺️

By 2027, an estimated 90% of content online will be AI-generated. 🤖 Content has rapidly become a *commodity.* But, my friends, you have a moat!! And that is *COMMUNITY.* 🥰

That is, REAL trusted relationships with real humans!!! Yep, certain people (myself included!) are tiring of all the over-automation, too much AI shoved in everywhere, and diminishing human contact.

This is a mega shift happening across the social media industry rn... and it's exactly what I'm teaching in my live training, the Human-First Marketing Method, starting September 15th. I'd love to see you there!

In an impactful 4-week LIVE journey together, you'll discover how to turn social media content into clients with a human-centered marketing approach focused on trust, conversation, and community. Let's do this!

Well, friends, this has been a long time coming: Meta just launched MUSE, its new personal AI agent. 🤖

Muse is designed to go beyond a chatbot: Meta says it can handle simple tasks like sending an email or booking travel. Or bigger goals like building a yearlong exercise plan or setting up a new business. And opening up a browser, filling out forms, even negotiating on your behalf. 😳 (All this is a HARD pass for me! At least from Meta. 🤪)

Zuckerberg is determined to deploy his vision of AI superintelligence that's available to "everyone" as he outlined in a 6,500-word essay published online last month. He talked about an AI agent that "works 24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more." (Ooft, take over my life, why don't ya, MZ?! 😆)

Just in case you're interested, here's a bit more about Muse:

◼︎ Available now in the U.S. (18+) on iOS, Android, WhatsApp, and web. AI glasses coming soon 🙄
◼︎ Free for basic use; Power plan is $20/month, Maximum is $100/month for heavier use
◼︎ Meta says it runs on a dedicated, secure virtual machine that houses both the agent and your data

Can we trust them? Will people use this? Hm.

Would YOU let an AI agent from Meta handle tasks like booking travel or managing your schedule? Where's your personal line between "helpful" and "too much access"? I'd love to know!

Aw, what a delight to give an inspiring and motivational talk today to students at Fife College in Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I had so much fun putting the slides together... My title was: "ANSWER THE CALL: What a Small, Proud Nation Can Teach You About Building a Global Voice" 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏰

Inspired by this year’s theme of the The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, “A Call To Gather” — narrated by renowned Scottish actor, Richard Rankin (who plays Roger in Outlander) — I spoke to the audience about the importance of meaningful connections and building community… especially in person. 

The Scots are such a fiercely proud nation and I’m certainly proud to be 100% Scottish (Canadian by birth). 😉

We spoke today of the Tartan Army + notable Scottish leaders, such as Andrew Carnegie, one of the best known… As well as local novelist Ian Rankin, who was born in Cardenden, where my sister lives now!

I also included many current notable influencers from Scotland + was honored to share my own story… as well as some practical updates on social media marketing, and the Human Movement! That is, the growing counter-movement to hyper-digital and AI over-automation and overwhelm!! Analog is making a huge comeback. Love that!

Your edge is human connection, my friends!

In a world going all-in on automation... the businesses that WIN will be the ones who go all-in on HUMANS!!! 🌍

I just gave a talk this morning at Fife College on this very topic here in Scotland where I've been visiting with family. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏰

Everyone's chasing AI efficiency right now.

But here's what I'm seeing everywhere: as the internet gets more automated, people are craving something else entirely... REAL TRUST and real conversations with REAL HUMANS! Including real connection with the humans behind brands, too.

This is the whole premise behind my NEW Human-First Marketing Method: a live 4-week masterclass starting September 15th where I'll show you exactly how to build deep trust, spark real conversations, and grow your business naturally on Facebook, Instagram and other platforms... without losing the human thread that makes people want to buy from you. 🥰💕🙏🏻

Are you ready to be part of the human movement in marketing? See link in comments.

P.S. I would love to share my college talk with you at some point soon! I had so much fun putting the slides together... My title was: "ANSWER THE CALL: What a Small, Proud Nation Can Teach You About Building a Global Voice" 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏰💙🤍💙 The Scots are such a fiercely proud nation and I’m certainly proud to be 100% Scottish (Canadian by birth). 😉
