In this episode of Unjaded, I'm joined by dating and healthy relationships coach, Sam Morris for a grounded, real-world conversation about how AI is reshaping business, creativity, and human awareness.Sam shares her personal take on using AI tools like ChatGPT with caution—not out of fear, but out of deep respect for presence, integrity, and the energetic frequency of her work. We talk about the ease and efficiency AI brings, but also the very real risks of relying on it to think for us, write for us, and fill space we're not actually present for.This is not an anti-tech rant or a productivity hack how-to. It's an invitation to pause and ask:What's the cost of never touching your own words?Where does your energy go when your content isn't really yours anymore?What's the end game here?In this episode, you'll hear us unpack:Why Sam avoids using AI to write sales copy—and the energetic difference it makesThe risk of losing our critical thinking and creativity through overuse of AIWhat she notices in AI-generated content that lacks actual resonanceHow convenience can disconnect us from the work and the audienceWhy your voice is your best asset and how outsourcing it weakens your marketingHow to hold reverence for your words, your work, and the people receiving themHow to use AI tools to access valid research How to create a timely lead magnet using an ai calculator or quizWhether you're experimenting with AI in your business or questioning your relationship with it, this conversation is a reminder: Just because we can doesn't mean we should.Connect with Sam Morris here:Sam Morris on Instagram https://www.thesammorris.com/What Ever Happened to the Gentle Men podcastConnect with Vickie Dickson here:Send me an audio message - https://www.speakpipe.com/vickiedicksonConnect on IG @vickie.dickson

In a world of digital overload, short-form media, and AI-powered personalization, staying focused has never been harder. Today, the average attention span on any screen is just 47 seconds. What's causing this decline in focus, and what should educators do about it?Those are some of the questions we discuss with Dr. Gloria Mark, UC Irvine informatics professor and author of Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity. Dr. Mark explains the psychology behind attention, including the difference between controlled and automatic processing, the role of self-regulation, and how sleep debt, stress and individual cognitive rhythms factor into a student's ability to concentrate. She also points to a growing trend in education: designing classroom content to accommodate short attention spans, which may be unintentionally reinforcing them.The conversation also takes a timely turn into how AI tools—from TikTok's recommender systems to ChatGPT—are changing the way students interact with information, and what that means for deep learning, retention, and even courage in the classroom.Listen to learn:Why shrinking attention spans aren't your fault—and what's really driving themHow schools may be unintentionally reinforcing short-form thinkingWhat AI and automation are doing to deep learning and reflectionThe hidden role of sleep, stress, and self-regulation in attention3 powerful strategies students can use to take back control of their focus3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Short attention spans are not a personal failure—they're shaped by both individual traits and digital environments.Gloria distinguishes between controlled and automatic attention, noting that much of our behavior—like checking phones or clicking notifications—happens without conscious thought. These automatic habits are reinforced by our environment, particularly digital technologies that train us to switch rapidly and respond to constant stimuli.2. Classroom strategies that cater to short attention spans may be doing more harm than good.Gloria highlights a trend in education toward breaking lectures into smaller chunks or assigning only short passages instead of full books. While well-intentioned, these adaptations risk further weakening students' ability to engage in long-form content and develop deep, reflective thinking.3. AI tools like TikTok and ChatGPT are reshaping how students consume and process information—often at the cost of deeper learning.Platforms driven by recommender algorithms use random reinforcement to keep users engaged, conditioning them for rapid content consumption.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Most couples rush into marriage without building the foundation that actually matters, but Martha Higareda Howes, accomplished actress and my wife, shows us what intentional relationship preparation looks like.
