    Episode 18: Lights, Camera, AI: How AI Is Changing Media Production

    AI is reshaping filmmaking—and it is doing far more than generating flashy visuals.  In this episode, Ryan Vinson explores how AI can streamline pre-production, reduce costs, and help creators move from an initial script to a production-ready plan faster. From generating detailed character profiles to estimating budgets, tools such as Film Pilot AI are giving independent filmmakers and production teams new ways to save time without sacrificing creativity. Ryan also discusses why AI should be viewed as a creative tool rather than a replacement for human talent. Much like Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) transformed the industry, AI represents the next evolution in film and media production—affecting how projects are planned, developed, and produced.  The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these emerging tools and using them strategically as the entertainment industry continues to evolve. Listeners will also learn about VersusMedia’s work supporting independent artists and hear a practical case study demonstrating how Film Pilot AI can be used during pre-production. Whether you are a filmmaker, content creator, producer, or simply curious about the future of entertainment, this episode offers an accessible look at how AI can help creative professionals produce more efficiently while keeping human imagination at the center of the process.

    Episode 11: Never Miss a Customer Call: How Voice AI Is Changing Small Business

    Voice AI is quickly changing the way small businesses communicate with customers, answer questions, capture missed opportunities, and build stronger relationships.  In this episode, Sandy Kibling sits down with Laurent Cohen, CTO of Get Oblique, to explore how Voice AI is helping small businesses improve customer service, respond faster, and create more consistent customer experiences. Laurent shares his perspective on why AI is not about replacing human judgment, but strengthening it. From answering calls to supporting customer interactions, Voice AI can help businesses stay responsive while still requiring leaders to apply transparency, ethics, and thoughtful decision-making. The conversation also explores one of the most important parts of AI adoption: trust. Laurent explains why disclosing AI use matters, how emotional understanding plays a role in customer service, and why small businesses need to think carefully about how AI represents their brand. As Laurent notes, “AI is like a currency, it emphasizes who you are.” Listeners will walk away with practical insights on how small businesses can begin using Voice AI, where it can create real value, and why the best AI strategies combine technology, transparency, and human judgment.
