from The Human Connection Podcast
"When things are equalized, when everything suddenly can be good, there's something that makes it feel a little bit different, that makes it feel great. And that's what you're looking for."Jason Michael Perry doesn't sugarcoat it: AI is making phishing emails as polished as legitimate ones, and your clients can't tell the difference anymore. As founder of Perry Labs and author of The AI Evolution, Jason argues that attention has become the world's most valuable resource—and in an AI-saturated landscape, human connection is the only filter that matters.In this conversation, Jason breaks down why the five biggest tech companies view AI as a bigger disruption than the internet itself, and what that means for how you build relationships. He shares why personal brand matters more than ever, why companies are rushing back to in-person events, and how the "uncanny valley" of AI-generated content is forcing leaders to get more authentic or get left behind.What you'll learn:Why AI is the great equalizer—and why that makes H2H connection criticalHow declining trust across digital channels is driving demand for in-person meetingsThe "sniff test" your clients use to separate real relationships from automated noiseWhy building personal brand NOW positions you for the AI-native generationHow to avoid the "uncanny valley" trap when using AI tools for contentThe difference between automating your brand vs. growing your brand with AIWhy one-person billion-dollar companies are possible (and what that means for you)#H2H #StartupLeadership #B2BMarketing #AuthenticConnections #AIStrategy===You can connect with Jason Michael Perry here:Book: The AI Evolution - https://www.amazon.com/AI-Evolution-Jason-Perry/dp/B0F6H8S12P?ref_=ast_author_dpCompany founded PerryLabs - https://perrylabs.io/You can connect with Karl Pontau here:www.thehumanconnectionpodcast.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kpontauhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUbf_bDWwB9KVrFn5Sj3u2w?sub_confirmation=1Please like, subscribe, and share this episode with somebody you care about!
