## Resource

Episode 24 of the Training for Translators podcast is based on this post on my blog . Lately, I've heard from a number of students and colleagues who have a hard time marketing right now, because they feel icky/dishonest/deceptive about marketing a service "that clients could get for free from an AI tool." Personally, I don't have this mental roadblock, and in this episode, I break it down! If you're not on the Training for Translators mailing list, sign up !
