How to Become the Media in the Age of AI with Jess Todtfeld

What does it really mean to “be the media” in today’s rapidly changing world? In this energetic and insight-packed episode of Eye on Las Vegas, Barry Shore sits down with media expert, television producer, and bestselling author Jess Todtfeld for a powerful conversation about personal branding, artificial intelligence, confidence, and the future of communication. Drawing from his experience producing national television for ABC, NBC, and FOX, Jess breaks down how traditional media is evolving — and why there has never been a better time for entrepreneurs, creators, coaches, and business owners to share their message with the world. From podcasting and content creation to leveraging AI as your personal “PhD in everything,” this episode is filled with practical strategies and mindset shifts for anyone looking to stand out. Barry and Jess also dive into overcoming self-doubt, escaping the “mediocre middle,” and the importance of becoming a creator instead of waiting for permission. Jess shares why he rejects the phrase “fake it till you make it” and replaces it with a far more empowering mindset: “Act it. Become it.” Whether you’re building a business, launching a podcast, growing your audience, or simply looking for inspiration to think bigger, this conversation will leave you motivated to take action.
