Are you feeling paralyzed by the constant noise around AI, the fear of being left behind, the endless new tools dropping daily, and the hype that makes it all feel impossibly urgent? What if there was a calmer, more grounded entry point into building with AI that actually served your business instead of overwhelming it?In this episode, Kathryn pulls back the curtain on exactly how she's using AI in her business right now, not the hype version, but the real, days-of-building version. She walks through the agentic podcast workflow she built using n8n, Assembly AI, Notion, and Blotato, explaining how it went from a chaotic multi-step manual process to a near-fully automated content pipeline. Kathryn also shares how she's tuning out distractions, making grounded economic decisions about her tech stack, and staying creatively involved rather than outsourcing her voice entirely to AI tools.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● Why the most grounded place to start with AI isn't following what everyone else is building but instead looking at the specific frustrations and time drains inside your own business, the places where mental load is quietly consuming your creative capacity.● How Kathryn built an end-to-end automated podcast content pipeline using n8n, Assembly AI, Notion, Canva, and Blotato that takes a raw audio file and transforms it into show notes, platform-specific social content, and scheduled posts with intentional human touchpoints woven throughout.● Why staying inside the AI echo chamber of online marketing can keep you in a state of freeze, and how surrounding yourself with builders instead of marketers completely changes the way you approach what to build, what to pay for, and what to ignore.● Why the economics of your AI tech stack matter just as much as the capabilities and how Kathryn evaluated every tool against cost, creative control, and alignment with her branded assets before committing.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.
