IDEA: How to Use AI Without Losing Your Soul
If you’ve asked a chatbot to write a blog post, you’ve seen how ridiculously easy it is. Within minutes you have a “polished” article about any topic in the world.
Or ask for a plan, or to figure out a problem, and BOOM you have more ideas than you know what to do with.
And that’s dangerous.
Those of us who use chatbots a lot are at risk of losing our muscles of thinking, writing, authentic creating…
A writer recently confessed on Reddit that they no longer trust their instincts after months…
The FTApr Webinar Strategy: A Simple, Soulful Way To Share Your Work
I enjoy running free webinars. After years of experimenting (and fumbling through different formats!) I’ve landed on one I’ve come to love: a way of gathering a group of people live, many of whom I’ve never met, and spending 90 minutes exploring something we care about, together.

This new flow has allowed me to produce higher quality ideas, and I hope it has given better value to my readers.
At least, I’ve noticed that my Ai-assisted writing has gotten at least the same amount of engagement — some…
Follow Your Fascination, Then Align It with the Market
This is for “soulpreneurs” — aka solopreneurs who want their work to feel like play, who sense that “grind harder” isn’t sustainable, and who want to build from genuine curiosity instead.
A soulpreneur business lives at the intersection of what lights you up and what people already value enough to pay for.
This post focuses on the first half — what lights you up! — because without that, you might burn out before the business ever gets traction.
The Core Idea:
