In Publishing ? Humans vs AI

In Publishing … Humans vs AI  Not a day goes by that authors are not hit with something that has an AI scam attached to it. In a conversation with Jim Cox , the CEO of Midwest Book Review , it to is being hit with a flood from the AI river. He writes in a recent blog earlier in June: AI is now firmly in the news and actively impacting business, the social culture, the economy, politics, and science—including the publishing industry in terms of writers, publishers, and publicity/marketing. It seems technology is not just ‘marching on’, it’s trying to break land speed records! He, in turned, shared with the readers of his blog. With his permission, I’m passing it on to you. Publishing’s Next Crisis: Why AI-Generated Text Needs Human Quality Control Joshua Lisec, an acclaimed international celebrity ghostwriter who has ghostwritten over 110 books and co-authored two New York Times bestsellers, says that the influx of AI-generated text in publishing has made human editors more importan...

Fashion Becomes Art?And a Lesson for Every Speaker

Image
In 2014, my friend Nancy Shina and I celebrated years of friendship—and shopping—with a vacation in Paris. One of the highlights was attending Schiaparelli and the Artists ( Schiaparelli et les Artistes ), during the reopening of the Maison Schiaparelli and renewed interest in the remarkable Elsa Schiaparelli. Fast forward to a recent trip to London. I spent more than two engrossing hours at the V&A exhibition, Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art . Nancy later told me she wished she had been with me and asked how the London exhibition differed from our memorable Paris experience. As a content creator, I thought, why not share my observations and research with more than just Nancy? Here is what struck me most about the differences in story, intention, and presentation. The Big Difference in One Sentence Paris 2014 celebrated Schiaparelli the collaborator. London 2026 celebrates Schiaparelli the artist. That distinction changes everything. Paris 2014: Schiaparelli and the Artists Held...

Purpose and the 100 Year Life

Image
Sometimes purpose does not appear in calm moments. It shows up when life becomes difficult. Jordie Poncy experienced that firsthand. He was about to begin a job counseling cancer patients when he received life changing news. He had cancer himself. What might have felt like the end of his path instead became a new beginning. Three years later his health is stable and he continues helping others navigate the same fears and challenges he once faced. His story was explored in a Washington Post podcast examining how purpose can shape resilience and meaning in life. You can listen to the original piece here. ( washingtonpost.com ) Poncy’s story highlights something researchers have been discovering for years. Purpose is not just an emotional concept. It can influence our health, behavior, and even longevity. At Age Brilliantly, this idea sits at the heart of building a meaningful 100 year life. Purpose fuels the other essentials of life. It strengthens relationships. It motivates learning. ...
