Lately I've had this creeping fear that AI might just replace everything I love doing.

And It's hard not to feel like AI isn't going to replace everything we can do to live a free creative life, centered around our passions.

And if we can't do that, how do we find meaning?

I've certainly embraced AI in my own day to day workflow and recognized it for what it is: A tool capable of unlocking our true potential.

That said, I still have had that gnawing fear that as AI improves at lighting speed it's just a matter of time until it's impossible to set myself apart.

So late one night as I was doom scrolling another thread about AI taking creative jobs, and feel like..What's the point?

I decided I'd go straight to the source.

I asked AI:

What is the best way to future proof myself from AI as a creative.

The answer it gave me hit me right in the gut.

Storytelling.

You make have noticed the subtle shift in my content lately.

I'm still posting about how to elevate your brand and content through cinematic style videos, but I've started to integrate more around storytelling.

And that little convo with ChatGPT is a big reason for it.

But it isn't the only reason. It's no secret that storytelling is basically the backbone of effective messaging since the dawn of time.

As long as there have been humans, there have been stories. They're the way that we connect and relate to other people.

And as much as I like to nerd out on making my little instagram videos look as close to a movie as possible, Story is still the most important thing.

One day a few weeks ago I sat down to start getting more intentional about how I approach my newsletter. I wanted it to be more story driven.

So I put in a Zyn for ultra focus mode (I know, its becoming a terrible habit) and started writing. I realized after my session that my process for finding and strategizing my storytelling would be extremely valuable to people

I literally stopped what I was doing, opened up a notion doc and started building. Just raw inspiration. That never happens.

That's how The Story Engine Starter was born. And as of about 10 minutes ago, it's live.

No big launch, no crazy hype. Why?

Honestly because I'm too impatient to let this sit on my hard drive just to build hype around it. It's too useful. And I know a lot of people struggle with this like I did in the beginning.

So no sales pitch, but its available. (and $19 bucks. crazy I know)

I want this to be super accessible like this for 2 reasons.

1. Because this topic is near and dear to my heart because It's something I struggled with a LOT in the beginning
2. This leads to the bigger flagship storytelling course where I'll break down how I stucture and tell stories from scratch, and use AI to give me a massive advantage. That course will be around $99.00. So full disclosure By you getting the starter course for 19, I'm confident you're gonna want the mac daddy course

So If you’ve ever sat down to post or film or write, and thought “why the hell would anyone care about this?”—this is for you.

I hope it helps, hit me with any questions.
