I’m not saying this happened to me a few weeks ago… but let me tell you how I solved the problem of juggling too much in the summer holidays…

It wasn’t that I forgot I was doing the presentation, I just sort of lost track of time. I knew what I wanted to say, I knew the information I wanted to share, I just needed a fast way to bring it all together.

Enter Adobe Express Generate Presentation.

I chatted to my preferred AI and asked it to work with me on a reference document I could upload to Adobe Express. I explained the presentation, the messages, the key points… it produced a document. Then, I let Adobe Express work its magic and within probably 1/8th of the time it would have taken me starting from the ground up, I had a presentation that was ready to go (and could even be presented from Adobe Express).

This is how I did it. I’m an Adobe Express Ambassador but I promise you that even if I wasn’t, THIS is a feature I would use on repeat. Everyone I’ve shown this to has been wowed too. It’s such a timesaver.

Why do something once when you can do it twice?!

I'm really excited to share that I'm taking to the stage twice at this year's BETA International - first, I'll be interviewing the LEGEND that is Joanna Jensen (founder of Childs Farm, author, investor, entrepreneur...all round superstar), and next as the moderator for a panel all about brand marketing. For the latter, I'll be joined by five fabulous panellists talking about how brands can really stand out from the crowd and the benefits this brings.

BETA International continues to be FREE to attend for members of the equestrian and connected industry and is being held at the NEC on 27-28 September. Apply through the link below for your free ticket, and please do say hello if you're there - when I'm not speaking, I'll be donning my PR and marketing hat and supporting the Raccoon Media Group team on site.

Dolly Parton passed earlier this week, and my feed has been wall to wall tributes, in the best possible way.

I didn't want to write another "5 things Dolly taught us" post. Everyone's doing that today, and most of it will be forgotten by tomorrow.

But a few things about her life stopped me mid-scroll, not because they were about music (although, have you seen the duets with Miley Cyrus?! Just WOW!), but because they were about business, and about being a woman who refused to shrink to make anyone else comfortable.

She turned down Elvis. She built a library out of grief. She answered every insult with a punchline sharper than the insult itself. And she spent five decades being asked to pick a side, and simply never did.

None of that was luck. All of it was a decision, made over and over, to stay entirely herself.

What an icon.

What happens when you let an AI loose on your content with no training? Probably what would happen if I let my children loose on my content without training.

Carnage.

Content that doesn’t sound like me, that makes me feel a bit queasy, and something I’d have to redo completely in a strop, because instead of saving time, I’ve ended up doing it myself anyway.

Two of these slides show untrained AI with a prompt. Two show trained AI with the same prompt.

The difference is wild.

I trained an assistant on my actual voice, my audience, and my business before I asked it to write a single word. That’s the entire difference between AI that guesses and AI that gets it right.

And that’s the exact reason I created a bargain £29 ’sprint’ course that will teach you how to train your own AI Social Media Assistant in 60 minutes flat. Take a look >> https://rhea-freeman.thrivecart.com/social-media-assistant-in-60-minutes/

Tomorrow, I'll be part of the Female Founders Rise Summer School giving a FREE webinar all about how to train your very own AI to be a social media superstar.

I don't mean to blow my own trumpet here, but I have been working on training a specific, bespoke AI for social media assistance for a very long time. Then, I tested the strategy I'd created across three different platforms, honed and adjusted more, and the results are genuinely brilliant.

Fancy getting to know the theory behind this little game changer? Join me and the FFR team tomorrow for free and I'll share how it works and why... https://luma.com/eszhg6pb

I’m bored of the “7-figure month” post. So, so bored of it.

Not because the number’s a lie. Not because I’m not please about people’s wins. Because it’s rarely the whole story.

There’s usually a pattern. The big flashy month goes up, gets the applause, and a few weeks later a quieter post turns up. Money’s tight. Something’s not adding up. Same person, different chapter, and somehow nobody connects the two.

Revenue without profit is just a number with good lighting. It’s an ego booster not a business.

So next time it lands in your feed, remember you’re only seeing the chapter they chose to show you. Not the whole book.

And please, PLEASE, don’t compare yourself to that.

Profit is the goal… always. That’s the bit that actually pays the bills!

I had a *little* rant to myself about this one, so I turned it into a carousel. What else do you do in 2026?!

None of these are complicated fixes. Bigger text, a real font, an actual point, and AI that adds something instead of making you disappear into the crowd. That's it. That's the list.

What would you add? Tell me your pet peeve below.

I watched Holly Willoughby’s first show on Tuesday. Then I watched the pile-on start straight after.

And it made me sad, not just for her and her team (they’ll be fine, having a thick skin is part of the job description!) but for what it says about the rest of us….

The moment someone tries something new, we hold them up against people who’ve had years of practice at that exact thing. Then we act surprised when the new thing isn’t as slick.

That’s not a fair standard. Nobody meets it on day one. Not Holly, not you, not me.

She had the nerve to try. And try something that’s actually industry changing in terms of mainstream star to YouTuber. That’s the bit worth clapping for, not the bit worth picking apart.

Also, remember, you cannot improve if you don’t start. You can put out your best guess and refine and hone as you go. Don’t forget it. When it comes to your own projects or judging others.

Comment BRAVE if this is the nudge you needed today.

Did they miss the mark?

I love teaching small business owners how to use AI safely and effectively to support their business and their marketing. It is a brilliant tool for taking some of the heavy lifting off your plate when used correctly.

But there are times when using AI isn’t OK, and AI imagery is an area where a lot of caution is needed as often it misses the mark, causing a lot of noise for all the wrong reasons. A recent call-out for a popular festive TV craft show is a classic example. Did you see the comments?!

When your business or brand is rooted in craft, authenticity, and real effort, taking visual shortcuts breaks trust. It sends a confusing signal to the exact community you are trying to attract.

Even if you aren’t a maker, AI images of products don’t tend to land well. They raise more questions than they answer. The big one being ‘what does the product actually look like?’ Followed by ‘why didn’t they just use an image of the product?!’

Swipe through the slides above for three simple rules on how to use AI without eroding your brand authority. But if you want one quick tip, it’s USE IT WITH AWARENESS. Awareness of your audience, your message, and why you’re taking that specific shortcut.

I am just finishing my notes for my BBC Radio segment this afternoon, and had to share something that I am talking about on air and that we ALL need to be talking about .

I took this video of Katie Piper speaking at the event with Theo Paphitis. Hearing her live, her story, and her absolute honesty blew me away.

She has a warmth and a powerful message and is a truly beautiful person inside and out.

But some didn’t get that memo… or the memo about just being a decent human…

A user of AI took an image of Katie and used technology to alter her appearance, stating they wanted it to “fix her face”. This completely erased the scars from the acid attack she survived eighteen years ago.

Katie’s response was flawless. Pointing to the much bigger questions we need to be asking about AI, beauty, and plenty more too. Go and read her full post.

What she also shared was that while she has done the immense work required to build her self-confidence, the implications of this are terrifying if these trolls target people who haven’t built that armour.

Teenagers. Victims of attacks that have changed their appearance. People suffering from low self-esteem.

There is a horrible trend happening right now where business owners are being told to use AI to make everything fake. We have to stop this. And from a human perspective, we need to do so much better.

It shows exactly what Katie is made of to shine the brightest light on this appalling behaviour. Thank goodness there are people like her.

I will be chatting more about this at 3:40 PM on the air on BBC Hereford & Worcester BBC Shropshire and BBC Stoke & Staffordshire but I would love to know if you have seen this story. It really did make my blood run cold and made me feel worried, and sad, that something as potentially awesome as AI is being used for things like this without any thought of the consequences.
