Adam jumps on solo the day before Thanksgiving with a wild sentence: “I cloned myself yesterday.” Yep. He’s been testing AI avatar tools that let you record one high-quality video of yourself, then spit out new short-form videos with your face and voice reading fresh scripts. Sounds awesome in theory. In practice? The cheap tool he tried feels stiff and fake, basically the same video over and over with different lip movement. So he’s scrapping it and hunting for better options.

But this episode isn’t just “AI is cool.” It’s a real behind-the-scenes look at why The Marketing Clerics are experimenting with avatar video in the first place. Adam talks about staying on the cutting edge without falling for hype, why half the AI promises floating around online are straight up nonsense, and how testing tools firsthand helps protect clients from wasted time and money.

He also lays out the bigger vision: a future where business owners can do a one-time studio recording, train a high-quality AI clone, and then get authentic 30–90 second talking-head videos produced in their brand voice at a fraction of the cost. Educational clips, fun community content, niche authority videos… all with the owner’s face, without the owner having to film nonstop.

Short episode, but packed with honest takes, practical marketing thinking, and a little ADHD Dadpreneur flavor. Happy Thanksgiving Eve, y’all.
