Imagine if your content could talk back, challenge your thinking, and even coach you toward your next big move.

My love affair with technology has been a significant part of my growth, and I want to share how you can harness the power of a Google AI tool, not just for automating tasks but for deepening your strategic thinking.

In this solo episode, I introduced NotebookLM, a Google AI tool that goes beyond traditional note-taking and analyzes your content, enabling you to spot patterns and refine your strategies.

This isn't just another AI productivity hack. For solo business owners, it’s a way to think more strategically and consider new possibilities for business growth.

What You'll Discover in This Episode:

• Why AI-powered summaries can help you reflect on your own brand message with greater clarity
• How interactive AI tools like Google's NotebookLM are changing the way we learn, plan, and analyze content for improved strategies
• Why AI is more than a tool: It’s your strategic growth partner
• How Marisa used one of Google AI’s tools to identify podcast content gaps and plan future direction
• The importance of rethinking your SOPs in light of AI's capabilities

Fun Fact from the Episode: AI John and AI Alice join as co-hosts to summarize Marisa’s podcast after reviewing a year's worth of content. You’ll hear their real-life conversation. I still can’t decide if this is a bit creepy or amazing.

One of the primary discussions among top marketers at the conference was the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing content creation and marketing strategies.

I brought home a notebook full of notes, and instead of letting all that sit in a folder, I uploaded my notes into ChatGPT to spot the patterns and priorities.

What emerged was a clear picture of what the experts agree on and a few refreshing shifts in how they approach content creation.

Today, I’m walking you through 7 smart content moves that are helping personal brands build trust, stay visible, and show up with purpose.

What You'll Discover in This Episode:

• How to use podcasting as your content hub and simplify your workflow
• The shift toward authentic, unpolished video that builds real trust
• Why AI isn't your voice—it's your amplifier, and how to use it wisely
• What to do weekly to grow your LinkedIn visibility without burning out
• Why your email list and newsletter might be your most valuable asset
• A behind-the-scenes peek at how I used ChatGPT to prioritize post-event actions

I bought an Instant Pot during a Black Friday sale a few years ago. Everyone was raving about it, but when I opened the box, I was overwhelmed—so many buttons, pressure valves, and a manual that made me question my intelligence.

I was so intimidated that I moved it across two states before I ever used it. But once I finally gave it a try, I realized how simple and powerful it really was. That one small shift changed everything; now, I use it all the time.

Using ChatGPT is a lot like that. If you’ve ever felt intimidated or frustrated with AI because the results were off-brand or robotic, I get it. But with the right method, you can turn ChatGPT into your content creation partner—and love what it produces.

In this week’s Amplify Your Authority podcast, I’ll share a powerful, user-friendly approach that flips the script on prompt engineering.

Instead of obsessing over the perfect prompt, I’ll walk you through how to provide the context AI truly needs. When you do, ChatGPT becomes more than just a tool—it becomes your content creation partner, helping you write faster and more effectively.

Using my C.O.N.T.E.X.T. Method, you’ll turn ChatGPT into a reliable writing partner that understands your voice, your brand, and your goals.

What You'll Discover in This Episode:

• Why prompts alone often lead to weak or off-brand AI results
• A formula for turning AI into a content partner that reflects your voice, brand, and intent
• The full breakdown of the C.O.N.T.E.X.T. Method
• How to drastically cut content editing time—and love what AI gives you the first time
• How to eliminate hallucinations and endless edits
