I’ve been dumping my daily videos into this feed and calling it a podcast. Let’s be honest , that’s lazy.

The episodes were not built for audio. It wasn’t built for you. And it shows.

So I'm starting over and getting back to basics. Creating what a dedicated podcast should be all about.

Today's episode is about AI in education and a study out of Hong Kong that actually made me stop and think. Not about tools, bit about the role people play as AI moves forward. This is about how we teach, how we think, and why soft skills matter more than ever.

You ready? Let's go!!!

In this episode, we unpack the controversy behind Vogue’s latest Guess ad featuring an AI-generated model. What does it mean when perfection is manufactured — not photographed? We explore the impact on beauty standards, mental health, and the future of real representation in media. This isn’t just about fashion. It’s about what happens when the ideal face is one that no one actually has.

What would happen if David Ogilvy, the “Father of Advertising,” sat down with today’s AI tools? In this episode, we break down three timeless Ogilvy lessons that still shape effective marketing — from why research matters more than ever to the power of headlines and selling benefits instead of features. You will also get a ready-to-use AI prompt template built in Ogilvy’s style to help you create smarter campaigns that resonate with real people.

AI isn’t just shaping our future, it’s now caught in the middle of America’s culture wars. On July 23, 2025, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order to ban what he calls “woke AI” from federal government use. The order directly challenges how companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic design their AI models, raising questions about bias, truth, and the role of ideology in technology.What HappenedTrump issued an executive order called “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government.”It prohibits federal agencies from using large language models (LLMs) that incorporate what the order labels as “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bias.”The policy establishes two “Unbiased AI Principles”:Agencies have 120 days to comply with procurement guidelines that enforce these rules.Why It MattersThis order isn’t about regulating private AI tools directly but redefines what kind of AI the federal government will purchase. For companies that rely on federal contracts, it forces a choice:Adjust their models to meet the “neutrality” test, orRisk losing access to lucrative government deals.It also creates a sharp contrast with Biden’s 2023 AI Executive Order, which emphasized safety, fairness, and civil rights protections, including DEI principles.How It Impacts YouIf you run a business using AI tools: Expect potential shifts in how vendors design their models, particularly if they aim to align with federal standards.For tech companies: Compliance requirements may increase, with potential audits or transparency demands around how bias is handled in AI systems.For marketers and executives: This could reshape AI-generated content, especially when accuracy and neutrality are prioritized over cultural or inclusive representation.Three Key TakeawaysGovernment AI contracts will favor “neutral” models, potentially pushing major vendors to release alternative, compliance-focused versions of their tools.The order frames DEI as a source of bias, which could set a new precedent in how AI ethics are defined and debated in the U.S.Businesses may see ripple effects if vendors update or limit AI features to align with these federal requirements.One More ThingThis is more than an AI policy. This is a sign of how deeply politics and culture wars are shaping the technology we use every day. The bigger question isn’t just whether AI is “woke” or “neutral,” but who decides what counts as truth?~Harrison PainterAI Expert Trainer
