Identify 3–5 qualities or areas of expertise a guest must bring to meaningfully serve your audience.Reframe your invites.

This episode is its own example. AI gathered the platform coverage and produced the drafts. I set the argument, directed the corrections through several rounds. I rewrote the piece until I said what I think, in the way I say it. When any scanner reads the transcript, it will find the machine’s fingerprints on the sentences and mine on the personal experiences. Both readings are accurate.
