    427 - Claude Design & ChatGPT Images...are designers cooked? with Jacob Cass

    Jacob Cass recently had a post on LinkedIn go semi-viral, all about whether or not designers are cooked with the recent release or Claude Design and Chat GPT Images. I think it went viral because many designers are worried and scared. But I also think it went viral because many designers are not worried or scared. Jacob took some time with me to dig into both of these mindsets and how designers (in brand, graphic and web) can thrive in today’s age of inevitable design/AI integration.

  3. Greatest Hits: Amy Porterfield "you can't believe everything you think."

    Greatest Hits: Amy Porterfield "you can't believe everything you think."

    This episode is our first ever greatest hits episode. I'm doing this for a couple reasons: Number one, I am getting caught up on some podcast interviews because I've been a little busy with Pro Con recently and some other stuff going on, and number two…I wanted to dig up some episodes from the past that I think are very relevant and more applicable than ever today in 2026. And that is definitely the case with this interview, which was with Amy Porterfield.For new listeners to the show, you're coming into the podcast in the 400s and you may not know about what episodes are back in the hundreds or the two hundreds or three hundreds, even before that. So the ones that are really good, I want to make sure they continue to live on. And that's definitely the case with this conversation with Amy because it’s more relevant than ever, all about trusting yourself and preparing yourself to do this sustainably and do it for the long haul. Plus, she laid down one of my favorite quotes in the podcast to date: “you can't believe everything you think.” True in good times and bad times, and in this age of change and flux and everything that's going on in all markets with AI and abroad, this conversation could not be more timely.  In this one, we cover: Amy's path from corporate security (including 7 years at Tony Robbins) to going all-in on online businessWhy the early dip happens and how to push through itShifting from one-on-one service work to digital courses — and why that change saved her businessGetting through rough seasons by leaning on your support system and mentorsThe mindset motto that keeps Amy grounded: "You can't believe everything you think"How transparency in online business has changed — and the "scab vs. wound" method for sharing authenticallyWhat building an online course used to look like vs. todayWhy your "why" evolves over time — and how that fuels longevityHustle as a short-term season, not a long-term identityHow Amy moved her whole team of 20 to a four-day workweek — and what changedOwning your calendar as the boss (including Hobie's legendary line)The simplicity move: doubling down on what works and cutting what doesn'tThis was originally episode 185, so head to the OG show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned, along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/185
