"Balancing Personalization and Privacy with AI: 'But I have given details about my personality, about me, and how I want the information returned to me as I put it in, and I feel like that has helped.'" - Tonnisha English-Amamoo

I hang out with Tonnisha English-Amamoo, one of our Circle of Experts and a pro at helping small businesses thrive with digital marketing. We're talk about how AI is becoming our new productivity buddy in both podcasting and day-to-day business life.

Tonnisha talks about her initial doubts regarding AI, thanks to movies like "iRobot," but she shares some cool ways AI has become her go-to tool for keeping organized. She uses ChatGPT like a super-smart executive assistant to help manage her calendar and tasks, cutting down on the back-and-forth and making sure everything's in tune with her priorities.

We also chat about how we interact with AI—Tonnisha likes to treat it almost like a friend. She believes it helps in getting responses that feel more personalized. On the flip side, I tend to keep things more straightforward with AI. This leads to a fun conversation about whether being nice to AI can save us from a robot apocalypse or just help streamline our work even more.

When it comes to marketing, Tonnisha finds AI great for brainstorming and refining ideas, even though there's always room for a personal touch. We ponder over AI's future in business—it's exciting but also needs human eyes to ensure things are running smoothly.
