Podcast appearances and mentions of todd brison

You don't have to look far to discover the supposed controversy around all things AI. Whether it's ChatGPT or a hundred other tools and apps that are based in AI, writers today must come to grips with if, and how, we are going to use these tools ethically. And ultimately, we have to ask ourselves what unique contribution we make as human beings when algorithms and AI seem to be taking over the world. I'm excited to bring you this conversation today with a writer who's thought about these issues and can give us some perspective. Todd Brison is an optimist who writes. He's an Amazon best-selling author and award-winning ghostwriter featured in Inc. Magazine, TIME, and CNBC. Back in his corporate days, he worked on a global marketing team in Paris, France, so most of his ideas work across many cultures. When he's not pounding the keyboard, you'll find him walking his spoiled French bulldog, drinking dandelion coffee in the kitchen with his wife Kate, or taking a bath with a book. Todd and I work through several questions around AI, such as: - Should writers be afraid of AI and ChatGPT? - What can writers add that those tools can't provide? - What are the best ways writers can use those tools ethically? - Where do you see AI heading in the next year, or few years? I hope this conversation gives you guidance and clarity about your own approach to AI. And, many thanks to my good friend Jared Odle for introducing me to Todd! * * * A big thank you to our sponsors, who keep this email free for readers: Today's episode is sponsored by Vellum, the go-to book formatting software for indie authors who care about creating beautiful ebooks and print books.

Before I get to today's conversation, I have an announcement about swag. In the next few weeks I will publish my 200th episode and I wanted to celebrate a little by giving thanks to you, the listeners. I started the show in January last year, and both listenership and downloads have increased steadily, which makes me very happy. And I've been very grateful for the nice things some of you have said in reviews. I don't have hard-to-find first editions for you, or cold hard cash, but a mousepad inside a small cotton totebag, both with the show's logo. Small tokens, yes, but my thanks are big. Just go to the contact form at WritingEditing.ca and send me your mailing address, and I'll send them to you (until they run out). Again: thank you.So, for today's episode …My guest is Todd Brison, who describes himself as an “optimist who writes.” He's an Amazon best-selling author and award-winning ghostwriter. I met him on Substack, where he writes What Makes Great Writing? We had a great discussion about the importance and impact of the quality of writing in all sorts of media. This is “Worse Writing Is Harder to Get Through,” episode 183 of the podcast. Todd's Websitehttps://www.toddbrison.com/ Substackhttps://www.whatmakesgreatwriting.com/ Twitterhttps://twitter.com/ToddBrison LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/toddbrison/

Today on Husting Sideways, we talk with author and serial side-hustler Todd Brison. Originally building up his following through Medium, Brison has grown into a world of freelance writing, as well as co-owning a business that teaches companies and people to be effective using the written word. We discuss Todd's beginnings, how he has shifted into a lifestyle that works for him with a steady work-life balance. We also discuss motivation, and Todd teaches us about his early experiences navigating the world of AI with ChatGPT. You can find out more about Todd at ToddBrison.com. Check it out!

When Todd Brison began writing, he had a big goals, but ultimately he wound up following a two-step process: - Write a post - Pray for attention Later, when the internet matured and creators started getting paid to post, the process changed slightly. At that time, it looked like this: - Write a post - Pray for money The first half of that story led him to a world of scraping together a lot of tone-deaf half-truths for thirsty self-improvement seekers. The second half led him to take a few stabs at political writing, for no other reason than because it was popular at the time. He could not have cared less about politics, but he still chased down that cash cow. Somewhere in between drawn-out doses of dopamine from a string of fake attention metrics, he forgot a simple truth. You write because you have something to say. Now he's on a mission to publish words that matter again. On episode 361 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Todd decided to attend East Tennessee State University, what should aspiring writers really be concerned about, how long the strike will last with The Writers Guild of America, how much of a threat is AI and ChatGPT to writers, how our listeners can use writing to maximize their study time, how we can use writing to create better relationships, how writing can improve your mental health, how to maximize your creativity through two exercises first thing in the morning, and how college students can make their papers and written assignments more memorable. Enjoy!

Before we dive in to today's episode, I want to state something for the official record: As a designer and a writer/editor respectively, Marcella and I are self-aware enough to admit we occasionally have a flair for melodrama -- sometimes slipping a little too easily into the trope being the "tortured artist." But when we both read The Creative's Curse by Todd Brison, we agreed that it spoke to us; both as the professionals we are with IMPACT, as well as the creatives we are "out in the wild." Because as much as we hate to admit it, the clichéd notions surrounding the stereotypical artistic temperament are based in reality. The emotional peaks and valleys. The glory of acceptance and appreciation. The despair of feeling like your work is underappreciated or devalued. The compulsion to create something -- anything. The demoralizing realization when you lose your own voice and have to go out and find it again. Again, yes, it's a little melodramatic -- but for anyone in a creative pursuit, this should sound familiar. (Especially in a fast-paced agency environment, where you need to be able to deliver inspired creativity for marketers on-demand.) So, in this week's episode, we dive into why we do what we do, how we deal with those dark moments when we feel the weight of crushing defeat on our shoulders, and why creatives seem to be so negative all the time. Enjoy!

Say hello to Todd Brison, author and online influencer to 36,000 people! Super casual. The coolest part about this interview is that we were able to do it IN PERSON at my favorite coffee shop in East Nashville. That coffee shop has seen me grow from an aspiring blogger to a full time freelancer/blogger and now interviewer. The feels are so real. In this episode, Todd talks about his biggest secret to growing a considerable platform AND (my favorite part) that this is all still his side hustle. He still has a "normal" job and makes time to be able to create and give to his audience. AKA, he's the man. The Passion Series Podcast is SO excited to welcome, Todd Brison.

Today's guest on Learning Always is a creative with a curse. Todd Brison may tens of thousands of readers over at Medium, but that doesn't mean he's about to slack on his learning journey. His book, The Creative's Curse, talks about a subtle problem that can eat away at you. That is, unless you learn to live with that curse and let it inspire you. I had a great time chatting with Todd and he shares many great takeaways on how you can be more creative, be more productive, and embrace learning to suit your own personality. On Today's Show: - How to develop a creative process that works for you. - Why you don't need to know absolutely everything before you start. - The power of consistency. - The importance of being inspired by others, but then finding your own take on things.
