The Wrong Way to Use AI: And What Solopreneurs Should Do Instead

Most solopreneurs started using AI to save time, and it worked, at least at first. Content came out faster. Tasks got done quicker. But speed came with a cost, and many are now seeing the consequences of that approach.

This episode takes an honest look at how AI has been used over the past two years and why using it only for content production is the wrong way to use AI. If your engagement has dropped or your results feel flat, this episode is for you.

Marisa shares what she believes is the real power of AI for solopreneurs, and it has less to do with what it writes and more to do with what it can analyze, systematize, and improve behind the scenes.
