What are the two creator advantages that AI can’t replicate?
Howdy my friend, really quick, I want to talk to you about something new we're doing here at Creator News Live. It's called the Cheat Sheet Club. Every week we take the best ideas from the episode and boil it down into a downloadable cheat sheet. The key takeaways, the tactics, the tools our guests actually use so you get the good stuff without having to re-listen or furiously try to take notes during the episode. Ever try to take notes while walking on a treadmill? Completely impossible. Impossible. Don't ask me how I know. It's free, so go grab it at Jeff C.com forward slash cheat sheet. That's J E F F S N SAMIEH.com forward slash cheat sheet. Alright, let's get into today's episode. It's because it's easier.
It's easier to sit in your corner and do nothing. Last week I had an opportunity to do uh some remote production and some editing for a really big company. And I was scared. Like it was it's a big one. It was one of those kind of those white whale things that I I was wanted to do. I even told Jody said, I'm scared to do it, but I'm more scared not to do it. And so you have to kind of take that energy of fear and flip it on its head and And use that as like, okay, I'm gonna go talk to this person. I know I'm gonna be weird. I know I'm gonna turn bright red or whatever, but I'm gonna make myself do it 'cause the good stuff happens outside of our bubble. That's why I tell my kids, like, I know it stinks and it's uncomfortable and you don't wanna do it, but when you do, you increase your opportunities, you know, so much.
Hello folks, welcome to Creator News Live. I'm Jeff C and you're not.
And I'm Paul Gower and this is the show that keeps you up to date with what's happening in the world of the creator economy and so much more.
Have you ever scrolled your feed and realized you can't tell which posts were written by a person anymore? Do you ever wonder what's actually left that a robot can't do for your business? And to be honest, have you ever been sitting on a question for us that we never got around to answering? If that sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
This week there's no guests because the guests are our hosts, Jeff C and Paul Gower. They are taking the hot seats to break down the two things AI can't fake. Storytelling that actually connects and community you actually own. And then they're opening the floor for an Ask Us Anything starting with every question we didn't get to last episode.
So sit back, clear your schedule, clear your mind, and get ready for this week's episode of Creator News Live.
It created news live, no guest in the chair. Paul and Jeff with answers to spare. Stories and community, the skills that stay true. Ask em anything, folks. This hour's for you.
Zach, you have the floor. You're gonna be taking us through this, so let's go.
So before we get started, I want to ask our audience to be honest, how much of your content did AI write this week? Do me a favor, type the word human if it's all you, robot if AI does the heavy lifting, or teamwork, if you're like me and somewhere in between. So get in the chat, let's get rolling. We're gonna start at the beginning, because that's the best place to start. Jeff, you went from the manly Pinterest tips to running live shows for some of the biggest names in this space. Paul, you started powwows.com twenty-five years ago, don't feel old, as a college project. Tell us the story behind the story and what the origin still teaches you about why people actually followed you in the first place.
Paul, you go first.
Yeah, so I I say I'm an accidental entrepreneur and actually an accidental streamer too. Both of those things came about because I just fell into it, right? So the whole college project, I was just playing with HTML, but it was the community, it was the people showing up that started asking for things, like asking for a way to know where powwows are around the country. So I figured out how to build a calendar, people asking for a way to talk with each other. So I figured out how to build a forum. And for me that's
