Welcome back to 💫The 4 AM Report 💫

In this episode the one piece of tech that’s on the mind of a majority of the people in the online business world. GPT, or generative AI. The most commonly known one is ChatGPT, a product that was introduced in November 2022. The very first weekend that they launched this free product, they had over a million people sign up.

While AI is not replacing any human jobs anytime soon, it’s definitely worth adding to your toolkit to supercharge your communication efforts; especially if you’re a writer of any type.

On the episode I dive into:

💡What generative AI (artificial intelligence) is and why ChatGPT is a phenomenon.

💡Why it’s AI needs to be viewed as a super-tool and not a person (or a threat).

💡How ChatGPT (and other AI platforms) can be used as a tool to uber-simplify the grunt work that is involved in the process of creating any kind of marketing material (especially writing)

💡Why, and how can you use ChatGPT for lateral thinking (with some examples of things I now regularly use it for)

💡How to deal with naysayers and voices in your head who are not “early adopters”

Welcome back to The 4am Report podcast. In this episode we are talking about the importance of repurposing content, especially as you head into a recession.

The idea of repurposing has a number of benefits, including saving time, effort, and headspace, saving dollars. Somewhere along the way, people have started to think that creating new content is the only way to market and we strongly oppose that perspective. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Dig right into it 👇

✅ How to repurpose a defunct webinar or masterclass into a podcast or video series

✅ How to cross-populate material from your shows to boost your website publishing goals (and break down some serious content silos)

✅ How to start thinking about your blog beyond the written format

✅ What pitfalls to watch out for and protections to consider when you cross populate content across different platforms

Today on The 4am Report, please say hello to Anuja Kale-Agarwal, National Communications Director at PwC Canada. Anuja  is a global communications professional, with extensive experience in advertising, insurance, and financial services across Asia, the US, and Canada. She brings deep experience in both internal and external communications, including strategic leadership communication, employee engagement, PR and media management, digital and social media, M&A/change, and crisis management.

💫💫 Just the person we all want to be hearing from as we navigate marketing and communication in a recession! 💫💫

Anuja and host Susan Diaz dive into:

📌 Why disengagement on multiple levels is a real communication problem; particularly in a hybrid working model (and how we can work on fixing it). 

📌 The importance of communicating with purpose; why it is vital to building trust and credibility.

📌 Why good leadership doesn’t go out of style (good leaders communicate more than just the good news, they share the bad news with empathy and confidence).

📌 Ways in which communicators can cut clutter, and get past some of the noise in the world, by being a little bit more authentic. 

📌 The value of refocusing on agility as small business; and never losing sight of  the opportunity, optimism, and hope that exists even in times of crisis.
