About this FieldTrip
AI is everywhere, but most of what you’ve heard is either overblown or just plain wrong. This talk cuts through the hype to show how creatives and marketers can use AI without losing their voice or their edge.
We’re going to have an honest conversation about AI, no hype, no fear-mongering, just real talk. You’ll learn how these tools actually work (spoiler: it’s word math, not magic), where they fall flat, and how to use them without making boring, soulless content. I’ll also walk you through how to build a simple custom GPT using your own voice and ideas so you can create faster, without losing what makes your work yours.
⭐️ This FieldTrip is part of our

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
Not vibing?
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
