Whether you love AI or hate it, one thing is clear: IT’S HERE TO STAY.

We’ve all seen the AI and deepfake videos floating around the internet lately and they’re equal parts fascinating and terrifying! And no, the creator industry is not exempt from this shift. In fact… it’s already showing up inside brand deal contracts!

In this episode, I’m walking you through what I’m actually seeing right now when it comes to AI and brand partnerships from both the brand side and the creator side so you can think bigger about how you negotiate, protect yourself, and future-proof your business.

Because here’s the part most creators don’t realize yet: If it’s not in the contract, it can arguably be allowed.
