Practical AI workflow for wedding pros

Can AI make you sound more human? Can you use technology to connect authentically—without turning into a robot? In this episode, I share lessons from Allison Shapira’s new book and our conversation about striking the right balance between efficiency and genuine connection. Are you using AI to amplify your authentic voice, or are you leaving the human touch behind? What are the boundaries we need to draw so our communications—whether wedding vows or emails—stay personal and impactful in the age of AI?

Listen to this new episode for practical ways to make AI work for you without losing authenticity, and hints on how small businesses can use tech to build stronger, more empathetic client relationships.
