What happens when nearly 30 years of entertainment industry experience collides with fantasy storytelling and cutting-edge AI? You get the kind of inspiring, forward-thinking conversation that Debbie Bishop brings to the table.

In this episode, GiGi Meier sits down with award-winning fantasy author and entertainment executive Debbie Bishop for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, risk-taking, and building story worlds across film, comics, publishing, and technology. Debbie shares how her creative journey began with a screenplay that eventually became her Black Tide comic series with Image Comics, and how that foundation evolved into her newest release, PILLYWIGGIN Awakening—which officially releases tomorrow!

They also dive into Debbie's work with Angelgate Entertainment, her passion for empowering creators, and her groundbreaking AI & Human Roundtable podcast, where she hosts conversations with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Meta about creativity, technology, and the future of storytelling. Debbie offers practical insights into how she actually uses AI tools like MidJourney in her creative workflow, as well as the AI-powered editing tools she's building to help creators streamline their content production.

More than anything, this conversation is about believing in your ideas, taking creative risks, and building the stories only you can tell—no gatekeepers required.
