In this episode of the Winsday Podcast, host Jessie Lizak sits down with Lisa Williams, CEO of Hello Again Products and Founder of The TOKE Agency, and Jimi Gibson, VP of Brand Communication at Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, for a conversation about what it takes to build authentic brands in an AI-first world. Drawing from their experience in branding, marketing, and communications, Lisa and Jimi explain why human connection is becoming more valuable - not less - as AI transforms how customers discover and evaluate businesses. The discussion explores how marketers can keep their messaging human while embracing AI, why building a strong personal brand has become a competitive advantage, and how AI search is quickly becoming the new form of referrals for businesses and founders.
