Craig’s creative process when creating content: Get examples/models, templates, and ideas to input into your AI program of choice. Break your content up into different functions. Go in once a week to pull out topics. Put the time and energy into refining one meaty piece of content that you can use over and over again. You have to focus on what makes you credible to your audience How does your team embrace and respond to AI because at the surface it’s a risk for all of us? How do we educate our youth now, for a future with AI? Takeaways and Vision Balancing the importance of human connection with the ability to express your individuality and be yourself is even more possible in this AI era.

Behind every new company is a story, and Rogue Startups digs into the real ones-the messy, uncertain, and exhilarating paths founders actually walk.
