People doing mundane tasks are replaced by robots. Now people producing basic content will likely be replaced by AI. What can’t ever be replaced? Your point of view. Your story and perspective. Your flavor and vibe. You buy many products and services today, not because they are proven to be the best, but because you want to associate yourself with the story behind them. With what they represent. This is the essence of art and creativity. I believe it’s a myth that some people are creative and others aren’t, but we limit our scope of where and how you can be creative. We’re about to blow that myth up. I’m with Miriam Schulman, an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where she helps other artists learn how to profit from their passion or become better artists. She’s helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. Miriam’s art and story have been featured in major publications such as Forbes, The New York Times, Art of Man and been featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. She has a very popular podcast called The Inspiration Place where she helps artists profit from their work, so they can keep doing it and do more of it. While we do talk about the aspects of profiting from your art, my initial focus is that if we don’t have art and creativity in our work, no matter what work it is, we will likely find ourselves phased out or left behind. Our core product or service is no longer enough to flourish. There are too many other providers and options. To stand out and succeed at a high level we must add a creative, unique aspect to what we do and include our point of view. As you’ll hear from this talk with Miriam, our point of view is we connect with others. And this is the point. AI can inform us of anything and everything. But it can’t connect. And this is your greatest opportunity.
