If you're tired of drowning in the endless AI tool tsunami while your content creation workflow still feels like wrestling with a fire hose, this conversation will reset your entire approach.

We sit down with James Hicks, Chief Technologist of Hicks New Media and Silicon Valley veteran who's walked the halls of Apple, Google, and HP. From his legendary (and nerve-wracking) encounter with Steve Jobs to his current role as the tech whisperer behind the scenes for top content creators, James drops serious knowledge bombs about building sustainable systems that actually work.

Forget the shiny object syndrome - James breaks down why most creators are asking the wrong questions about AI tools, reveals his battle-tested content distribution strategy across platforms, and shares the three critical questions that will save you from gear paralysis. Plus, he spills the tea on why chasing the bag is killing your long-term success and demonstrates what "rising above the noise" actually looks like in practice.

This isn't another surface-level tech talk. It's a masterclass in intentional content creation from someone who's seen technology evolve from the inside and knows exactly how to leverage it without losing your authentic voice.

Warning: Contains zero get-rich-quick schemes, but maximum value for entrepreneurs ready to build something meaningful.
