Rourke Sefton-Minns scaled his AI creator business from zero to eight figures in one year by turning audience, education, and creative AI into a business system.Drew and Rory invited Rourke Sefton-Minns on to discuss AI and somehow ended up reverse-engineering a business built on sleep streaming, 420 straight days of posting, multiple failed creator experiments, hitting zero in the bank, and an apparently unhealthy refusal to quit. Rourke breaks down how Gen HQ grew, why brand partnerships now drive hundreds of thousands in monthly revenue, why learning AI tools is often the least important part of getting paid, and why the best move for aspiring AI creatives may be finding the client before figuring out every last detail.Rourke Sefton-Minns explains Gen HQ, AI creator businesses, brand partnerships, LinkedIn client acquisition, spec work, creative partner programs, Meta advertising, Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill, CapCut, Google Gemini, node-based workflows, narrative-loop content, creator burnout, AI careers, and generative AI-powered fandom. He also shares a practical three-month playbook for landing paid AI creative work and his mission to create 100,000 jobs for creatives through AI.---⏱️ Fast Hour00:00 Rourke Sefton-Minns, Gen HQ and 100K jobs02:55 Five social pages before the one that worked05:03 The sleep-streaming business that changed everything09:03 Making $10K a month at 21, then burning out13:04 Betting everything on a six-month ski channel17:11 The persistence lesson behind hitting zero20:50 420 days of posting before the AI pivot28:40 Why Gen Z sees generative AI as the enemy33:01 Why great AI content starts with communication35:10 Inside his vibe-coded content idea system39:19 How long a viral AI video takes to make43:20 Why AI creators burn out46:14 Outsourcing creativity made burnout worse47:27 Why changing formats brought the fun back50:25 How narrative-loop videos create retention52:44 How his 8-figure AI business makes money56:10 Why $40K a month in Meta ads is not enough57:12 The business skills AI creatives overlook01:00:51 The 100,000-jobs North Star01:03:29 How to land your first paying AI client01:07:51 What major AI brands actually want01:12:30 Why boring products can win spec-work clients01:14:09 The four-post strategy for winning brands01:17:47 AI fan content as a new growth engine

What apps do you actually need to create great social media content?In this video, I'm sharing the content creation apps I use just about every day on my iPhone - from recording and editing videos to creating Reels, organizing B-roll, repurposing content and using AI to speed up my workflow.The good news? You don't need dozens of apps to create great content!I'm a big believer in keeping your content creation process simple. Your phone can do a LOT on its own, and a few go-to apps can make creating, editing and repurposing content so much easier.In this podcst, I share how I use:

Autodesk Flow Studio just released 3D Editor and Canvas which is a world generation, character creation, motion capture, and camera animation tool brought into one web-based editor, and we rebuilt a full previs from a single Red Dead Redemption image to test it. Seedance 2.5 is finally on all platforms after launching only on CapCut, with 30-second generation and up to 50 references. And Minimax H3 is a new open-weight video model you can run free on your own machine, the first one that gets genuinely close to the closed models.Try Autodesk Flow Studio:http://flowstudio.com

Seedance 2.5 launched exclusively through CapCut, so we bought an account and pushed it through real editing tests, swapping a can, changing a body, and moving the camera, and we show the wins and the failures. Flux 3.0 Preview got the exact same prompt through the Hermes agent, and the results were very different. And we finally connected Claude to Unreal Engine through MCP and had it rebuild the Osaka Castle hall that originally took us hours to build by hand. We also launched our Ultimate AI Program today.

Think Instagram is enough? Think again. In this episode, I'm making the case for why every IG-first creator and business owner needs to be cross-posting to YouTube, no extra work required. I'll break down why YouTube functions as a search engine (not just another feed), how it gives you way better SEO and AEO than Instagram ever will, and my simple workflow for filming once in CapCut and posting everywhere. If you're making content on IG and not putting it on YouTube too, you're leaving leads on the table. Tune in to hear exactly how to fix that.Www.the-spacesocial.com

Today I'm going to talk about software and software as a service items that I use. I probably forgot some because there's going to be 42 on this list. Okay. Now, I don't want you to get all whacked out and think, oh my God, I got to have 42 different things to be successful online. Well, remember, I've been doing this for 32 years, and a lot of stuff has gone by the wayside and been replaced with new stuff. But you don't have to do everything that I'm talking about today. But there's a lot of good stuff here that maybe you didn't know about.

Inside Darren Carter's Laugh Factory Slot 19 Strategy Comedian Darren Carter joins Sarah Halstead and Rich Chassler for a coffee-fueled masterclass on building a stand-up career in the social media age. Carter pulls back the curtain on nearly four decades of comedy, from his Fresno forensics team days to headlining the Laugh Factory, Comedy Central, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and booking a Showtime special after landing a Miller Beer national commercial as only his third audition. The trio dives into his headshot story (shot by a Fresno photographer who drove a van down to LA to shoot sets), the strategic genius of always choosing slot #19 at the Laugh Factory Tuesday Night Live, the power of voices and impressions, and his daily social media workflow using iMovie and CapCut, including the secret weapon of trial reels. Along the way Carter shares the legendary Minnie Pearl advice he keeps in his Notes app: "Love them with your heart and they'll love you right back." It's a joyful, generous, hilarious hour that feels like pulling up a bar stool with three working comedians. Today we're drinking coffee. Guest Info Darren Carter is a stand-up comedian, actor, and podcaster based in Sherman Oaks, California. He's performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Comedy Central, and booked a Showtime special. On screen, he's starred opposite John Travolta. Off stage he's a family man and the host of the podcast Pocket Party. Carter started comedy in his hometown of Fresno in 1989, sharpened his chops in high school forensics (Dramatic Interpretation, Humorous Interpretation, Original Prose & Poetry, and Speech to Entertain, plus the dreaded Lincoln-Douglas debate), took a Variety Arts class at Fresno City College, then moved to LA. He's a paid regular at both the Comedy Store and the Laugh Factory, and he's cracked the social media consistency code with daily uploads across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through seven trial reel ideas you can use to grow on Instagram. He starts with the basics you need to know before you post a single trial reel: you need at least 1,000 followers to access the feature, the number of trial reels you can post varies by account, and duplicates won't work — each one has to be its own piece of content. From there, Brock gets into the actual ideas, starting with the "if this reel gets me to X followers, I'll do whatever the top comment says" format and its variations, including doing the opposite of the top comment or buying whatever the top comment names. He also covers reposting your most viral reels with small edits — speeding them up or slowing them down, cropping in or out, mirroring them — along with CapCut memes, "dear algorithm, connect me with" reels, and B-roll or plain text reels featuring quotes, hot takes, one-line surprising tips, or text on a window. He finishes with two formats that lean on audience participation: the "first impression" reel, where you ask people to be honest about what's wrong with your account or guess your follower count without looking, and the "seeing if the algorithm prefers this or that" test.

In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with Jacob from Humane Vision — one of the most creative and innovative animal rights content creators on the internet — to talk about what it really takes to use social media as a tool for real change.This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore how one person with a phone, a passion, and zero film experience built an audience of over 200,000 people — and why the way you tell a story matters just as much as the story itself.We get into:• How Jacob turned his passion for animals into viral content• The “bait and switch” technique that disarms non-vegans• Why humor is one of the most powerful tools in activism• How to start creating content with zero experience or equipment• The importance of individualizing animals to create emotional impact• Burnout, anxiety, and protecting your mental health as a creator• How to deal with trolls and use negativity to your advantage• Why quality beats quantity every single time• The editing tools and camera gear Jacob actually uses• What he would tell his younger self about following your passionThis isn't just about making videos. It's about using creativity, storytelling, and humor to reach the people who need to hear it most.If you've ever wanted to use your voice for the animals but didn't know where to start,this episode is for you.⸻IF THIS EPISODE RESONATED

Hand Him Over #RTTBROS #CapCut #Nightlight #Prophetic #Truth

How do you compete with Domino's when you are running a small pizza shop with two food trucks and a brick and mortar? In this episode of The Localist, Carrie Rollwagen sits down with George Gilliam, owner of Uncle G's Pizza in Birmingham. George is honest about the journey. He has pivoted his business more than once, from food truck to brick and mortar to takeout-only with a commissary kitchen. He has built one of the most engaged social media presences of any small business in Birmingham. And he has been openly using AI to give himself back the time he needs to run the business and create good content. George and Carrie talk about why pizza parties for first responders perform better than product shots, why short form video has been a sea change for his business, why the social videos that perform best are the ones he throws together quickly, and how he uses CapCut to build them. They also nerd out on AI: where George uses it for the back end of the business, where he avoids it, why he believes it can level the playing field for small business owners, and why the AI conversation feels risky to even have publicly right now. If you are a small business owner trying to figure out where AI fits, how to use social media without being self-serving, and how to make small business work in 2026, this is an honest, funny and useful conversation.

Zapraszamy do obejrzenia i wysłuchania tego, co mamy do powiedzenia w trójkę w 136. odcinku podcastu. Sporo rzeczy nam się nazbierało, więc trochę skaczemy po tematach, ale jak zwykle będzie trochę naszego gadania o grach, filmach, serialach, książkach i tak zwanym techu. W tym odcinku oberwało się CapCut'owi, który poleciał w kulki z subskrypcją, będzie o jakże emocjonującej przedsprzedaży GTA VI, filmie Władcy Wszechświata, który okazał się totalnym flopem, ale nam się podobał i kilku polecajkach. A tematem głównym są gry, które paliły kompy, czyli gry tak zaawansowane albo tak niedorobione na premierę, że nawet najsilniejsze pecety i konsole nie dawały sobie z nimi rady. Co w odcinku? 00:00:00 - Wstęp, kto zaczyna? 00:01:27 - To koniec CapCuta! 00:08:11 - Ruszyła przedsprzedaż GTA VI00:31:34 - Nowy LEGO Batman jest świetny00:36:21 - Polecajka od Doriana: Archiwum burzowego światła00:40:37 - Książka o Heroes of Might & Magic po polsku od Gamebooka00:43:37 - Polecajka od Adama: mapy od stormcrew00:45:35 - Co się stało z serią Stargate? 00:53:23 - Trochę o filmie Władcy Wszechświata 01:06:44 - Adam obejrzał horror - Obsesja01:15:51 - Gry, które paliły kompyWbijaj na stronę: https://2po2.plFacebook:   / dwochpodwoch   Twitter:   / dwochpodwoch   TikTok:   / dwochpodwoch  Postaw na kawę:https://buycoffee.to/dwochpodwochGrosza daj podcastowi na Patronite: https://patronite.pl/dwochpodwoch

Join our mastermind community: https://www.skool.com/apparel-success-mastermindTry the best Ai design platform: https://www.design.com/rob88AI video generators are getting insanely realistic, and in this video I show how clothing brand owners can use tools like Kling AI, Seedance, Google Veo, Sora, Runway, Adobe Firefly, Poyo.ai, Higgsfield AI, ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, CapCut, and Premiere Pro to create realistic ads, TikTok videos, Instagram Reels, product videos, and social media content without spending thousands on photoshoots, models, or videographers.I tested the biggest AI video tools to see which ones worked best for clothing brands using real product reference images. I break down why Google Veo, Sora, and Runway struggled, why Kling AI created some of the most realistic results, and why Seedance 2.0 might be one of the best AI video generators for accurate clothing brand content, fabric, logos, product details, and lifestyle scenes.If you run a streetwear brand, gymwear brand, hoodie brand, outdoor brand, or apparel business, this video shows how AI can help you create better ads, Meta ads, TikTok ads, Instagram content, UGC-style videos, and product marketing faster than ever.

How Ankit Nayal scaled organic TikTok to 50 million views with an AI content factory, and why half of them were wasted until conversion came first.Most founders who burn through their paid ad budget pivot to organic with one or two accounts and hope something works.Ankit Nayal pivoted to organic and went to 150 to 200 TikToks a day.He runs this for his app Flamme. He has crossed 50 million views. He told me more than half of those views were wasted, because conversion was not in his framework yet. The episode is about what he built once that became obvious.The path there started in a cave. After losing his ad budget in 2025, Ankit scrolled TikTok for four hours a day for two months. He compared it to having McDonald's every meal. Out of that came the VSC framework. Viral: an under-5,000-follower account with a 100K-view post that is still picking up trend score. Scalable: a format that replicates cleanly across accounts. Convertible: a video that actually pulls downloads. Memes pulled 0.1% conversion. A girl reacting to a hook pulled 0.5%. A 100K-view reaction beat a 2M-view meme on bang for buck.The system around the framework is more cumbersome than most posts about it admit. He started by filming himself and concluded that a brown man with an Indian accent was not the best fit for the American market. He moved to Russian creators sourced through Kwork.ru at one dollar a minute and twenty-five cents per ten-to-fifteen-second reaction. ChatGPT translation overhead killed that workflow. He moved to Sora 2, then to Seedance. Every clip gets broken into five-second blocks because the model starts hallucinating past five seconds. A CapCut filter layer with ten effects scrubs the plastic skin off AI faces. Phones get lined up on physical farms because the TikTok API gets content flagged.The funnel sequence he ends on is the part that stuck with me. Organic first, then UGC, then paid. Most founders run it backwards.Video Chapters: 00:00 Introduction03:00 Losing the paid ad budget on a dating app06:00 Four hours of TikTok a day for two months11:00 The VSC framework14:00 Why memes converted nothing18:00 Russian creators on Kwork20:00 Moving to Sora 2 and Seedance22:00 The CapCut plastic-skin filter23:00 The five-second hallucination limit26:00 Why lip sync breaks scale31:00 The phone farm38:00 Which products should not run organic TikTok39:00 Organic, then UGC, then paidTopics covered:- Organic TikTok at scale for consumer apps- The VSC framework: viral, scalable, convertible- AI UGC production with Sora, Seedance, and CapCut- Creator sourcing on Kwork and the limits of real UGC- Phone farms and TikTok content flagging- Why B2B founders should not run organic TikTokLearn more:https://mobileuseracquisitionshow.com/episode/[slug]/ - Episode page https://www.linkedin.com/in/annayal/ - Connect with Ankit on LinkedIn https://www.annayal.com/ - Ankit's website https://intelligentartifice.kit.com - Newsletter

Send us Fan MailA shed builder with a phone camera should not be able to compete with big budgets, yet Jeremy Yoder, better known as Pro Shed Builder, has built an audience of roughly 350,000 across TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram by doing something most companies still avoid: showing the real work. We talk about what happens when you stop scripting, stop polishing every detail, and instead capture the process in a way that feels human, useful, and honest. Jeremy breaks down his practical content workflow: how often to post, how he decides which sheds to “bookmark” for filming, and why going live helped him get comfortable on camera fast. We also get into the part nobody wants to admit, editing. Turning a three to four hour shed build into a one minute short can take hours, and Jeremy shares what that time cost really looks like, plus the simple tools he uses like CapCut, a basic tripod, and an affordable lav mic. We also zoom out to the shed industry itself. Jeremy shares what customers are buying right now, from cheap no-frills storage sheds to fully finished backyard offices and studios. Then we dig into what actually builds trust with buyers: transparency about build methods, moisture and ventilation details, the floor system, and warranties that prove you stand behind your work. If you want better leads, stronger brand credibility, and marketing that feels real, this conversation gives you a clear path forward. Subscribe for more shed business marketing and industry insights, share this with a builder who needs to start filming, and leave a review if you want more practical episodes like this.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up on our website: shedgeek.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: Shed Geek MarketingVelocity 360RTO SmartShed SuiteFirst Choice MetalsChallenger

You know reels are one of the best ways to grow your business on Instagram. You've seen other people crushing it. You've probably even sat down to film one yourself, maybe more than once, and then... you just didn't post it. Or you did, and it flopped, and somewhere along the way, the whole thing started to feel way more complicated than it's worth.Here's what I actually think is happening: you're drowning in advice that was designed for influencers, not for people who run a real business. Hook formulas, trending audio, CapCut tutorials, edit transitions... it is A LOT. And most of it doesn't apply to you.So in today's episode, I'm breaking it all the way down to the actual basics: how to find ideas, how to script a reel, how to film it, and how to batch the whole thing so it doesn't take over your life. No dances. No pressure to go viral. Just what actually works to get you more clients from Instagram.In this episode, you'll hear…Why you shouldn't be getting content inspiration from competitors (and where to look instead)How to write a hook that stops the scroll, even if you hate writingThe one structural shift that's making reels perform better right now (hint: stop giving it all away in the video)Filming best practices that make a real difference, even with just your phoneHow to batch your reel production so you're not starting from scratch every single weekThe four reel formats explained, so you can pick what actually works for your personality and scheduleClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarKit (affiliate link)what I use to build my email list, send emails to my list, and create opt-in forms & pagesEpisode 291. 11 'Bad Habits' That Actually Built My 7-Figure BusinessNatasha's YouTube video on YAP content for InstagramB-roll reel example with Text OverlayB-roll reel example with Audio OverlayScripted reel exampleIf you have a question you'd like Sam to answer on a future podcast episode, you can submit it here.Click here to be notified when new episodes of On Your Terms® come outCONNECT:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarFollow Sam on InstagramFollow Sam on YouTubeSubscribe to Sam's Substack, Beyond BusinessTake Sam's free legal workshop "5 Steps to Legally Protect & Grow Your Online Business"DISCLAIMER

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through his complete editing process for Instagram Reels, including the tools he uses and how he decides which tool is right for each type of project.  Brock also covers why most editing bottlenecks actually start at the filming stage, and share the specific filming habits he has built that make editing significantly faster — including how he scripts, pace his takes, and use visual markers to stay organized in the timeline.  From there, Brock breaks down my full editing stack: CapCut for desktop edits, Gling for long-form clip editing, the Edits app for trend-based and audio-specific Reels, and when he hands things off to a professional editor.  Brock also shares a handful of practical tips for speeding up your editing workflow, including editing on desktop, working with audio on, using keyboard shortcuts, and tackling one task at a time rather than trying to do everything at once.

Tara Polley explains how building a personal brand through media stopped the grind and started attracting clients who already trust her.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Tara Polley of welcomehomesonoma.com, a 25-year real estate veteran turned television host, to break down how media, storytelling, and personal brand building change the game for realtors and investors alike.Tara shares her full framework including:Why getting on camera shortens the sales cycle by building trust before the first conversationHow storytelling and authenticity outperform polished, perfect content every timeThe role AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT play in scripting listings and TV segmentsHow she uses CapCut and TikTok to create social content fast without a big production teamWhy lifestyle marketing sells properties faster than leading with features and square footageThe delegation framework she uses to decide what to keep vs. automate vs. hand offWhat top performers in real estate actually have in common (and it's not talent)Why realtors who stay stuck in 2021 pricing mindsets are losing deals right nowThis episode is for:Realtors ready to stop cold prospecting and start attracting aligned clientsInvestors who want to understand how personal brand impacts deal flowAnyone in real estate who knows they should be creating content but keeps putting it offIf you've ever felt like you were grinding harder than your results showed, this episode is the reset you need.

Following on from last week's piece about the extent to which I use AI, I've had a surprising number of messages asking which AI I actually use and what for.I should immediately stress that I am not some sort of AI guru. I know people use Claude to write code, automate businesses and build entire internal operating systems. That is beyond me. I can't code. I'm a one-man band, who occasionally hires freelancers. I'm self-taught. But here's what I actually use and what for.I stress the best method of all is trial and error. You get results quickly. If you don't get what you're looking for, adjust the prompt, or try a different app.Let's start with the visual stuff.Pretty much every image accompanying my articles, such as the one above, is generated on Midjourney. I've experimented with ChatGPT, Grok and other image generators, but I like Midjourney's images the most. My prompt is often just the article title plus the aspect ratio. Four options appear. I pick the best one.That alone would have seemed miraculous ten years ago.I also use Midjourney extensively for music videos. For example, in this video about the lighter side of hyperinflationary collapse, almost every visual was AI-generated from the lyrics. My editor, Goat, then used Runway to animate the images. We filmed my face against a green screen and plonked it on top afterwards.If Midjourney didn't produce what I had in mind, I simply kept adjusting the prompt until it did, or I tried another image generator as a last resortEven as recently as five years ago, let alone twenty, to make a video like this would have cost hundreds of thousands, millions even, and taken many months. We would have needed teams of animators, post production specialists, Soho studio space and lord knows what else. That, to my mind, is the genuinely revolutionary part of AI. Democratisation of media and all of that.But on top of it all you still need someone - in this case my editor Goat - who knows what they're doing.People often argue that AI ia replacing creativity. What it is actually doing, at least in my case, is dramatically lowering the cost of production and making creativity available to all. The possibilities for creative littlemen like me are enormous. I made this video using Grok and Neural FramesAnd this one was generated entirely in Neural FramesIronically, we used no AI in the music itself. We edited the videos either in Capcut or FinalCut.By the way, if you enjoy these videos, the first place I upload them is at my comedy Substack, so sign up to that. It's free.Writing, research, advice and moreThis next video, about the most prolific slaving civilisations in history, generated millions of views across social media, and became the most viewed page on this Substack. It is an interesting case.Not because of the images themselves, which were generated with Midjourney, but because of the research. AI couldn't and in some cases wouldn't do it. Claude flat out refused because of the subject matter. It would not engage. (IN other words it is biased). ChatGPT couldn't get its head round what I was trying to do. Grok came closest but in the end I worked with a human researcher, Sam, who I knew from my book, who turned out to be much better.I have paid subscriptions to Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Venice. I cooled somewhat on Claude after the slavery episode. Around the same time I was in a nasty dispute with three former business colleagues and needed some help. Claude kept getting hysterical and calling on me to speak to a lawyer, which I didn't have the time or budget to do, whereas ChatGPT gave the me the help I was looking for. So between the two episodes Claude has been rather demoted in my office, though I still use it as a sounding board for anything to do with writing - where it is strong - if I want a second or third opinion. I get that the experts think Claude is the boss, but for me it is too captured. ChatGPT has replaced it as my primary all-rounder.In general terms, ChatGPT is the most user-friendly though you have to go into the settings and tell it to stop being sycophantic, as that just gets annoying. (They are all as bad as each other for sycophancy).I'll use them all for brainstorming, proofreading, titles, summarising transcripts, challenging arguments, evaluating, drafting legal docs and agreements, advice, helping with negotiating. But I tend to go to ChatGPT ahead of the others, especially for anything to do with diet, health, personal development, mentoring, problem solving, advice and so on. It is basically having an extremely fast, but not always reliable assistant. You cannot blindly delegate to it, you have to oversee, because it is not always right, even if it behaves like it is. Grok is the best for anything current. If I am writing a satirical song, for example, and I need an overview of a politician or a news story, Grok is best by far. I think it's because Grok has X to mine from. Regarding investments, Grok beats most hedge fund managers, apparently. I use it to gauge sentiment around companies and themes: it can quickly tell me whether people are already talking about it or whether almost nobody is. That is very useful. If thousands of people are discussing a company, the hype cycle is probably already fairly advanced. If nobody is discussing it, that is more interesting.For ongoing projects, however, I still prefer ChatGPT and Claude. I find their their folder systems are more user-friendly and easier to organise, particularly for themes I want to keep coming back to. Grok - or is it me - seems to lose conversations between the app and when I use it via X.Grok could quickly become my go-to allrounder, though I have some shares in SpaceX, so I am probably biased. Broadly speaking I have greater faith in Elon Musk's integrity than I do Sam Altman's, even if for now I have voted with my usage for Sam Altman.Claude may be the most capable technically, particularly for coding and analysis, but I also found it the most censorious. Venice, by contrast, is the least filtered. And it gives you access to Seedance 2.0 (which is the best of the video generators), but it has other technological shortcomings. None of them are neutral, and you still need to judge what they tell you - which requires a functioning brain. I find AI really suits a one-man band like me, who has some experience, knowledge and who still retains a modicum of cognitive ability. It makes me so much more productive. But you still need a functioning brain.At the same time, I would argue that people who refuse to engage with AI at all - while I admire them - are putting themselves at a disadvantage. The productivity gains are simply too large. AI has not made me less creative. If anything, it has made me more productive creatively. Ideas that were once stuck in my head can now be realised.

A creator economy está mudando e talvez o número de seguidores já não seja mais o principal indicador de relevância na internet. Em um cenário dominado por inteligência artificial, produção automatizada de vídeos e engajamento impulsionado por robôs, plataformas, marcas e creators começam a olhar com mais atenção para outro fator: autenticidade. No novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, a repórter Elisa Fontes conversa com Rafael Sbarai, da CazéTV, e Thales Moura, do CapCut, durante a Gramado Summit, um dos principais eventos de inovação e empreendedorismo do país. Durante a conversa, os convidados discutem: o crescimento do chamado “astroturfing”, prática que simula engajamento artificial nas redes; os impactos da inteligência artificial na produção de conteúdo; a diferença entre audiência real e alcance fabricado; o papel da criatividade humana em meio ao avanço da IA; e como creators estão se tornando cada vez mais estratégicos para as marcas. O episódio também debate a transformação da creator economy em um mercado mais profissional, no qual influenciadores deixam de ser apenas vitrines de publicidade para se tornarem sócios, empreendedores e peças-chave dentro das estratégias de negócios.

It's always fun catching up with Greg McDaniel because he's always up to something cool.Here's a summary of our session:Absolutely, Ray. Here's a detailed summary shortened to roughly 20% of the original wording.Podcast Interview Summary: Ray Wood with Greg McDanielRay welcomes longtime friend Greg McDaniel from Grass Valley, Northern California. After a relaxed opening chat about Greg's 10-acre property, mowing, weather, and life in Northern California, the conversation turns to what is currently working for real estate agents in social media marketing and advertising.Greg says agents have never had more opportunity to create their own media. They no longer need a full studio setup; a smartphone, simple microphone, and free or low-cost editing tools like CapCut are enough to produce useful content. He emphasizes that agents can now use AI tools such as ChatGPT and prompt libraries like AIPRM to generate video ideas, captions, YouTube titles, descriptions, tags, and content frameworks quickly.A major theme is that agents often feel overwhelmed by all the marketing options available, but Greg argues the answer is simpler than most people think: stay visible, stay relevant, and keep having conversations with your audience. He uses his and Ray's friendship as an example. Even though they have known each other for around 10 years and never met in person, they have stayed connected through podcasts, conversations, and regular contact. That same principle applies to agents and their audience.Greg recommends agents post short-form content daily on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and other platforms. He says agents should pay attention to who watches, likes, comments, or reacts to their content, then personally reach out and start conversations. Rather than treating social media as a broadcasting platform only, agents should use it as a relationship-building tool.When Ray asks what type of content works best, Greg suggests documenting daily life. He compares each part of the day to a chapter in a book: morning routines, coffee stops, drives, meetings, funny moments, local observations, family life, pets, community stories, and real estate insights. His advice is to make content that is interesting, personal, and relatable, not just constant real estate sales messages.Greg recommends following an 80/20 rule: around 80% of content should be fun, interesting, community-based, or personality-driven, while 20% can be more directly related to business. He notes that kids and pets can attract engagement, though agents should only include family if they are comfortable doing so. Ray jokes that featuring his dogs in marketing videos could make their expenses feel like marketing costs, leading to a humorous side discussion about dogs, grooming, cleaning, and checking with a CPA.The conversation then moves into YouTube. Greg believes YouTube is a powerful free platform because once content is created, it can continue working long term. However, he says fewer than 1% of agents will actually take action. Ray asks why, and Greg bluntly says laziness is often the main barrier. He explains that many agents know what they need to do, but avoid it because they feel they have nothing to say or do not want to be on camera.Greg shares an example of a successful Silicon Valley agent who has deep local knowledge, a long real estate career, children who grew up in the area, a wife who teaches locally, and strong opinions about coffee — yet still feels he has nothing to say. Greg points out that this agent could easily create local coffee tours, community videos, tech-area commentary, and neighborhood stories. The lesson is that agents already have content all around them; they simply need to start filming.Ray and Greg discuss simple equipment, including the Hollyland Lark M2 microphone, which Ray recently bought and found impressive. Greg shares a practical tip: clip the tiny microphone under the brim of a cap for clear audio while filming casual videos.The discussion then shifts to YouTube trends. Greg mentions that large channels like MrBeast are seeing major changes in views as YouTube places more emphasis on Shorts and shorter content. He believes this creates an opportunity for smaller creators and independent agents to gain more visibility. Greg also mentions using tools like VidIQ and Thumbnail Creator to improve YouTube thumbnails, titles, SEO, descriptions, and tags.Greg demonstrates AIPRM inside ChatGPT, showing Ray how pre-built prompts can generate optimized YouTube titles, descriptions, tags, and hashtags. He enters a sample real estate topic and the tool produces multiple title options, a short description, and keyword tags that could be copied into YouTube Studio. Ray is impressed by how much time this could save.Ray then shares what he is seeing with AI Ad Machine clients: property listing ads are generating some of the strongest results. Rather than simply offering free appraisals or asking for listings, agents can advertise actual properties, send traffic to a Meta lead form or landing page, and capture buyer and seller leads. These leads can then flow into Go High Level for automated text and email follow-up. Ray argues that a great listing has enormous pulling power because it shows the agent actively marketing real estate, not begging for business.Greg agrees and adds that ads and content need to match the local audience. A generic message will not work equally well in Miami, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Grass Valley, or a beach town. Agents should speak the language of their community. For example, in Grass Valley, a real estate agent could create a video using a zero-turn mower or tractor dealership as a metaphor for teamwork and market knowledge. In a beach town, an agent should be on the beach talking about local lifestyle, restaurants, and community news.The core marketing message from Greg is that agents should stop begging for business and instead become a trusted source of information. They should talk about their industry, community, local market, lifestyle, and daily experiences in a way that feels human and useful.Ray adds that testing is now easier than ever. In the old newspaper days, agents ran one ad and hoped it worked. Today, they can run many variations and quickly identify what gets attention, clicks, and leads. This ties directly into Ray's broader AI Ad Machine philosophy: test multiple ad angles and let the data show what works.Toward the end, Greg introduces Google Flow from Google Labs, describing how it can create AI-generated images from photos and prompts. He gives a playful example of generating an image of family members riding horses, grandchildren running around, and himself on a lawnmower being chased by a kangaroo. More practically, he suggests agents could use AI image tools to help buyers visualize themselves in a property, such as creating an image of a family enjoying a kitchen or living space, while cautioning agents to check rules and avoid anything misleading or discriminatory.Greg also promotes his own podcast, RE Geeks, which focuses on real estate, technology, and how tech influences agents and consumers. He explains that his longtime tech partner Michael is involved, and they discuss practical ways agents can use technology in their business.The episode closes with Ray thanking Greg and promising to include links in the show notes to the tools discussed, including AIPRM, the Hollyland Lark M2 microphone, Google Flow, VidIQ, Thumbnail Creator, and RE Geeks.Key TakeawaysThe strongest message from the interview is that real estate agents do not need complicated marketing. They need consistency, personality, community relevance, and a willingness to create. A smartphone, simple microphone, AI tools, and daily local observations are enough to start building attention.Agents should use short-form video, YouTube, stories, reels, and listing ads to stay visible and start conversations. The best content is not always polished or formal; it is often personal, local, useful, and human.Ray's major ad insight is that great property listings are still one of the strongest lead-generation assets agents have. When promoted properly through social ads, lead forms, landing pages, and CRM follow-up, listings can become powerful buyer and seller lead machines.Greg's major content insight is that agents already have more than enough to say. Their local knowledge, daily routines, clients, pets, coffee shops, neighborhoods, listings, and lifestyle stories can all become content. The agents who win are the ones who stop overthinking and start publishing.

In this episode, Barbara discusses:    Why tools like Opus Clip are popular and what they actually do  Why using AI tools alone won't grow your audience without a clear strategy  How to build a simple workflow using tools like CapCut, Descript, and Submagic  Key Takeaways:  “The tool doesn't create growth. Clarity does. Tools only amplify what's already there.”  Dr. Barbara Hales  Connect with Barbara Hales:  Twitter: @DrBarbaraHales Facebook: facebook.com/theMedicalStrategist Business Website: TheMedicalStrategist.com Email: info@TheMedicalStrategist.com  YouTube:@barbarahales LinkedIn: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/barbarahales Books: Content Copy Made Easy 14 Tactics to Triple Sales Power to the Patient: The Medical Strategist TRANSCRIPT (234) Introduction: The Opus Question  Dr. Barbara Hales 0:02   Welcome to another episode of marketing tips for doctors. I’m your host, Dr. Barbara Hales. Let me ask you something. Why is everyone suddenly talking about Opus Clip? Everywhere you look, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, people are pumping out short videos like a content machine. And if you ask how they're doing it, they all say the same thing. “I just use Opus.” So the real question is this: Is Opus Clip the magic solution? Or is something deeper going on? Because here's the truth: The tool is not the strategy.  What Opus Clip Actually Does  Let's break this down simply. Opus Clip is an AI tool that takes long-form content a podcast, an interview, a talk and does three things: It finds what it thinks are your most engaging moments. It clips them into short-form videos. It formats them for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. That sounds powerful. And it is. Because the hardest part of content creation isn't editing. It's deciding what's worth sharing. Opus removes that friction.  Where People Get It Wrong  Here's where things go wrong. People think, “If I use Opus, I'll grow.” That's not true. Because Opus doesn't understand your audience. It doesn't understand your positioning. It doesn't understand your message or authority. It's making guesses based on patterns. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it gives you clips that feel flat, out of context, or forgettable. So you end up posting polished content that doesn't connect. Why Video Works  What Smart Creators Actually Do  Smart creators don't rely on Opus. They use it as a starting point. Here's the real workflow: Record long-form content, let Opus generate clips, Review and refine. Enhance the best ones. Because virality isn't found. It's shaped. The AI suggests.        You decide.  A Practical Strategy for Doctors  If I were building a medical brand today, here's exactly what I would do. Record one strong, thoughtful long-form video. Not 20 random clips. One. Then let Opus generate 10 to 20 short clips. Then ask: Which of these actually reflects my message? Not which one is trendy. Not which one is flashy. Which one builds trust? Because in medicine, trust is everything.  The Truth About Tools and Talent  Here's something most people miss. The people winning with Opus were already good before Opus. The tool didn't make them better. It made them faster. If your content is unclear or generic, Opus just helps you produce more of that faster.  Building a Smarter Workflow  So yes, use Opus. But don't stop there. The real advantage is your workflow. After Opus, I would use CapCut. This is where you improve the hook, control pacing, and create impact. The first two seconds matter most. CapCut lets you shape attention.  Improving Long-Form Content First  Next, I would use Descript. If you're recording podcasts or long videos, this makes editing simple. You edit like a document. Remove filler. Clean your message. Then send that into Opus. Better input leads to better output.  Why Captions Matter More Than You Think  Then I would add Submagic or a similar caption tool. Because captions are not decoration. They are the content, especially on platforms with silent autoplay. Good captions highlight keywords, add rhythm, and hold attention. That's what makes people stop scrolling.  The Simple System  Here's the full system: Record → Descript → Opus → CapCut → Post. Or keep it simple: Record → Opus → CapCut → Post. That's it. The people winning aren't using better tools. They're using better workflows.  Final Advice: Focus on What Matters    If you're a physician trying to grow online, start here: Don't focus on doing more. Focus on saying something worth hearing. Then let the tools amplify it.    Closing    If you need help turning long videos into short-form content or building this workflow, you can reach out.

I'll speak to you next time. The post Everyone Using Opus: Are You? first appeared on The Medical Strategist.

Nano Banana 2 is Google's best image model yet and it just dropped. It's cheaper, it's smarter, and it removed an Adidas logo from a banana in a tracksuit on the first try. But we have notes. The Door Brothers and Logan Paul made a 15-minute AI movie with Seedance 2.0 that looks like a direct-to-video action film…KIND OF. Meanwhile Seedance 2.0 is now live in CapCut, Anthropic is in a standoff with the Secretary of War over a $200M defense contract, and a sketchy music site called Sonato is generating perfect James Brown and Nirvana tracks from text prompts.  Using that, Kevin vibe coded a custom AI Spotify mash-up that looks like an iPod.
