The Artistic Entrepreneur w/ Jake Isham

AI is here to stay — but should artists be worried about it replacing creativity? In this episode, I share how I actually use AI as a filmmaker and photographer to make better art without letting it do the art for me.
👉 Here’s what we cover:
Why AI is the ultimate research tool for artists and creatives.

How to use AI to handle the “boring” business side of being an artist (marketing, accounting, emails, promotion).

How AI can act as a mentor and sounding board to spark new ideas.

Why AI will never fully replace human creativity — and how to protect your originality.

The mindset shift artists need to thrive in the AI era.

At the end of the day, AI is just a tool — like the camera, the paintbrush, or the internet. If you learn to use it right, it won’t replace you… it’ll make you unstoppable.
