How Latino Creators Can Build Brands with AI w/ Nicky Saunders

How Latino Creators Can Build Brands with AI w/ Nicky Saunders

Author: Latin Wealth October 10, 2025 Duration: 59:47

Latino creators, this one is for us. On today’s Wealth Wednesday, I sit down with content and branding expert  @thisisnickys   (founder of Deeper Than The Brand) to break down how we can build an authentic brand, use AI to scale content, and turn community into revenue—without burning out. Nicky helped grow Eric Thomas’s social presence from ~300K to 2.3M, served 9 years in the Navy, and now teaches creators how to be themselves on camera, price with confidence, and publish consistently.


What we cover:

* Finding your voice and audience as a Latino creator

* Pricing your work and setting boundaries without guilt

* Building community that buys: value, experience, and trust

* Beating burnout with daily behaviors (learn, move, breathe, create, connect)

* My favorite takeaways from Nicky’s AI stack for content

* Why our community must show up in branding, media, and tech—now


AI tools we discuss: Poppy AI, Opus Clip, ChatGPT, 11Labs, Kling, VO3.Connect with Nicky: YouTube: Nicky Saunders • IG/TikTok: @ThisIsNikkiS • Deeper Than The Brand • Lions Behavior

If this helps, share it with a Latino creator who needs the push to hit publish.
