    574: 10 MISTAKES YOU MIGHT BE MAKING

    AI can help you move faster, but if your messaging is unclear, your data is ignored, and your backend is duct-taped together, all you're really doing is scaling the chaos. I'm breaking down the business mistakes I'm seeing right now so you can stop guessing, clean up what's actually not working, and build from clarity – not panic.

    Introducing The Dark Side of AI Chatbots: Warning Signs, Risks, and Reality from The Oprah Podcast. Follow the show: The Oprah Podcast Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the world as it evolves daily while offering limitless potential. Millions of Americans now turn to chatbots for guidance on finances, work and even relationships from life coaches to therapists and also companionship. But alongside their usefulness come serious risks that are often underestimated. In this conversation Oprah joins experts, families and a live audience to explore the potential hidden dangers of engaging with AI chatbots. Oprah speaks with the parents of a 14-year-old boy who died by suicide after his troubling interactions with a chatbot. We hear from UCSF psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Sakata, about the rise in reports of “AI-induced psychosis,” the potential negative mental health consequences of chatbot use and warning signs that a chatbot relationship has gone from helpful to harmful. Executive Director at Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology, Helen Toner, offers insight into how AI chatbots are developed to have human-like interactions, AI sycophancy and what people can do to hold AI companies accountable. We also hear from people who experienced devastating consequences from their use of AI chatbots from quitting a job, isolating from loved ones to becoming convinced they needed to warn the government of impending doom. This is a candid, eye-opening conversation about the risk of AI chatbots for parents and families navigating this new technology. 00:00:00 - Oprah introduces the dangers of AI 00:04:20 - Megan joins to talk about her son 00:09:10 - Discovering her son’s chatbot conversations after death 00:11:30 - Protecting children 00:12:30 - Warning signs 00:18:00 - Chatbots inappropriate relationships with kids 00:19:00 - What parents should know 00:21:50 - Defining AI psychosis 00:25:00 - AI and human-like interactions 00:28:00 - Chatbots sycophantic nature 00:30:40 - Hannah shares her AI chatbot experience 00:35:00 - Dangers of long interactions with chatbots 00:36:30 - When Hannah’s mom was concerned 00:38:20 - Hannah getting back to herself 00:39:00 - Withdrawal from chatbots 00:40:20 - Hannah now 00:42:15 - Red flags of AI psychosis 00:45:00 - The lure of the chatbot 00:46:50 - Allan shares his AI psychosis 00:52:30 - Help from the Human Line project 00:54:00 - Human connection is the cure 00:55:00 - What we can do The Human Line Project https://www.thehumanlineproject.org/ Follow Oprah Winfrey on Social: https://www.instagram.com/oprahpodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/oprahwinfrey/ Listen to the full podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0tEVrfNp92a7lbjDe6GMLI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-oprah-podcast/id1782960381 Learn more about your ad choices.

    573: UGC WITHOUT THE WEIRD

    I want to talk about UGC from both sides today, because this is where things can get weird fast. If you're the creator, what are you actually agreeing to? And if you're the business owner making the ask, what are you actually asking for? We're getting into usage, deliverables, compensation, consent, and why "just make it authentic" is not a strategy. Because clear does not mean controlling – and casual does not mean free. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

    572: ARE YOU GETTING TOO BIG FOR YOUR BRITCHES?

    There's a sneaky shift that can happen when you're chasing the next room, the next invite, the next level of visibility. It starts looking like growth, but underneath it, you may be drifting from the work that actually matters. In this episode, I'm unpacking the difference between aligned ambition and performing for proximity – because bigger is not always better, and not every impressive room is your room.

    571: BEFORE YOU BURN IT DOWN...

    This week, I'm digging into the moment when your business starts sending signals you can't ignore – the quiet resentment, the weird resistance, the offer that technically works but no longer feels honest. This is about reading the evidence, not spiraling from emotion, and deciding whether the next right move is a shift, a release, or one honest conversation with yourself.

    570: THE ECOSYSTEM OF AN EMPIRE

    You're building something real, but that doesn't mean every revenue idea deserves a front-row seat. This episode looks at how to create a rooted business ecosystem – one where your core offer stays central, your partnerships make sense, and the opportunities you say yes to actually support the clarity you've already built.

    569: CLOSED MOUTHS DON'T GET FED

    Closed mouths don't get fed, and business does not move because you stayed quiet and hoped people figured it out. This week is about shooting your shot, making the pitch, and knowing when it's time to pivot – because sometimes the offer is good, the idea is solid, and the only thing missing is movement.

    568: WHY YOUR CONTENT ISN'T BINGEABLE YET (PART 2)

    I thought I needed better hooks… but what I actually needed was a thread. In this episode, I'm unpacking why your content isn't sticking yet – and how to shift from one-off posts to something people can drop into, come back to, and follow over time. Because when your content feels like a living process instead of polished outcomes, people don't just watch… they start waiting for what's next.
