How I Became: Lucy Nguyen

In this show, I discuss AI and its impact on the creative industry. While AI is improving at performing tasks once done by humans, I argue that we should embrace its ability to eliminate mundane tasks and use it to free up our time for more creative endeavors. I introduce the concept of "human first, artificial intelligence," and suggest using software like InVideo or Adobe's Sensei to help with video creation or image editing. Additionally, I explore how ChatGPT can assist in content creation by analyzing the tone and style of the voice of existing content. Ultimately, I encourage creators to use AI to support their creative process but always prioritize human creativity.

In this episode, I am talking with London-based, business coach, Kylee Hurrell. The focus of our discussion is emotional intelligence and how those with high levels of emotional intelligence can impact an organization and the personnel within.  About Kylee Kylee trained for years to become a lawyer. Studying hard and dedicating herself to any activity that would strengthen her legal CV.  She knew she wanted to help people and change the world; and thought law was the path to do this... ​Kylee spent years working until late in the night, early mornings trying to prove her worth, stressing over unrealistic deadlines, and drowning in her task list. Then, as the years went on, her confidence dropped, and she didn't feel her ideas were worth mentioning. ​It got to a point where she struggled every morning just to get out of bed. Discovering coaching was that magic moment.  Filled with passion and excitement in the pursuit of helping others meant rediscovering her potential and becoming a high performer again.  Now Kylee's mission is to help others find their purpose and implement their dreams and aspirations.
