## Resource

We are just back from Atomicon, and one theme that ran through the whole event: use AI, but stay human. Get that balance right, and you stand out. Get it wrong, and you don't. In this episde we're unpacking how to do that. Hit play to hear: → The two types of business that'll thrive as AI takes over, and the one place no freelance social media manager wants their business to end up → What the latest research says about trust, and why your clients need a human face out front more than ever. → The simple rule everyone should adopt for using AI → Three things every social media manager should start doing with AI right now (none of them is technical) Useful links: Using AI to write your processes Get your 2027 Atomicon tickets (see you in Manchester?)
