:Like, how to make your podcast really sound like you, you know?
:Exactly. Because anyone can start a podcast these days.
:Right.
:But making it stand out, making it sound authentic. Yeah, that's the tricky part.
:It is. It's tough.
:And that's where this Authority Proof method comes in.
:Yeah. This is some really interesting stuff.
:Yeah. So, full disclosure, this is actually a division of our company.
:That's right.
:KNewMedia Digital.
:But it's really cool how they use AI to help you figure all this out.
:Yeah. It's like, how do you even begin to. Like, what's the secret sauce?
:I think that's the question. Lorita, the founder of Authority Proof, that's the question she starts with.
Like, what's the secret to making a podcast that really sounds like your brand?
:Okay, so how does AI fit into all of this?
:Well, they've broken it down into these five steps, and the first one is all about figuring out your brand DNA, which sounds kind of complicated, but it's basically AI looks at, like, your website, your social media.
:Oh, interesting.
:And it can kind of tell what your core values are.
:So it's like it analyzes all that.
:Yeah. Like, your tone, even, like, what kind of sentences you use. It's.
:Wow. So I don't have to sit there and try to define it myself.
:That's exactly it. And, you know, Loretta found that businesses, sometimes they really struggle with putting their voice into words, but it's already there.
It's, like, in everything they do.
:Okay. Yeah.
:And she found that you can find it consistently in customer testimonials, even if the company itself can't describe it.
:Interesting.
:So it's like AI is a detective almost.
:I love that.
:Yes.
:Okay, so once the AI has figured out my brand DNA.
:Yeah.
:What happens next?
:That's step two. That's where you start making the content. And it's all about your mission and values.
:Right.
:So imagine, like, you feed your mission statement into an AI tool, and it gives you episode titles that perfectly fit your brand. That's.
:So it's not just, like, random, generic titles.
:Exactly.
:Okay, that sounds promising, but, like, does this actually work? Have you seen it in action?
:Oh, yeah, definitely. And businesses that have used it, they can come up with episode ideas so much faster, and they can even get, like, first drafts from the AI.
:So it's like getting rid of writer's block almost.
:Totally. Yeah. And then they can focus on the actual Content instead of staring at a blank page.
:I love that. That's huge.
:Yeah.
:So, okay, the content's done. What about the actual recording?
:That's where it gets even cooler. So steps three and four.
:Okay.
:This is where AI can help you make your podcast sound really polished. It can enhance the audio, edit it for clarity, even suggest how to make it flow better.
:So it's like having a virtual found engineer.
:Exactly. Yeah. Which is great for smaller businesses, especially.
:If you don't have a big budget.
:Yeah, exactly.
:Okay, but how do we make sure people actually hear it?
:That's step four. That's where AI can look at your audience data and tell you tweak your content a little or your style.
:Oh, interesting.
:So it resonates with your listeners.
:What kind of tweaks?
:Like maybe add a personal anecdote or change your tone a bit based on what your audience likes.
:I'm curious though, does it ever sound too robotic? You know, if you're using AI so.
:Much, That's a good question. But that's what's great about Lorita's method. It's a collaboration, so AI does a lot of the work, but you're still in control.
You add your own personality.
:Okay, that makes sense.
:Yeah. And then step five is all about getting people to hear it. It's about amplifying it.
:Amplifying, yeah.
:So AI can help optimize your titles.
:Your descriptions for, like, SEO and things like that.
:Exactly. Yeah. So people can find you.
:Can you give me an example? Like, how would it optimize a title?
:Sure. Let's say your episode is about time management. AI might say, okay, put three AI time saving hacks in your title. That will give you back your day.
Something like that.
:So it's more specific.
:Yeah, so it stands out and attracts the right people.
:Wow. So we've gone from figuring out our brand DNA to getting the content done, polishing it, promoting it.
:That's right.
:It's really amazing what AI can do.
:It really is. And just imagine having a podcast that sounds like you that attracts the right people. What can that do for your business?
