Here's the audio replay from our AI workshop last week. There are slides too - the full replay with slides is available to watch HERE (but it goes away today. We're putting the workshop inside Find Your Creative Voice: Fly Your Freak Flag.) There's a PDF handout to download there too. Go grab it before it disappears!

The audio isn't perfect, but neither are we 😅

🚢 In this episode we cover:

• Why brands are craving human-made work more than ever
• The weird, wonky human stuff AI can’t copy
• Copyright, licensing, and why clients still need real illustrators
• How your life experiences = your creative advantage
• Prompts to help you find your “brain treasure” ideas
• What you *can* control
