In today’s episode of the Power of After Show, I’m joined by Courtney Henry to talk about how AI can truly transform your marketing—but maybe not in the way you think. Because AI isn’t the strategy—it’s the tool. The real difference-maker is still clarity: knowing exactly who you’re speaking to and what they need to hear. We also dive into why doing less—but doing it better—is often the smartest move, especially in a world that’s constantly telling you to be everywhere at once. If you’re ready to simplify your approach, focus your message, and use AI in a way that actually moves the needle, this conversation is for you.
