514 - How I'm Using AI for Podcasting and Content Creation

In this episode, I'm sharing some of the ways I'm currently using artificial intelligence in my content creation process.

I've been watching several members of my Green Room Mastermind experiment with AI to automate much of their video production workflow. Seeing what they've been able to accomplish inspired me to explore what might be possible with audio.

That led to an experiment where I took a 33-minute episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show and used AI to turn it into a 10-minute narrative documentary, complete with a synthetic narrator, music, sound effects, and excerpts from my original recording.

I actually play the finished documentary for you in this episode so you can hear the results for yourself.

I also share how I've been using AI to transcribe thousands of episodes from my podcast archives and turn stories from nearly 21 years of content creation into new written articles.

Here are some of the things I cover:

• What Pat Flynn, Leslie Samuel, Michael Stelzner, Ray Edwards, and Mark Mason have been experimenting with when it comes to AI-assisted video production.
• How AI can handle editing tasks without relying on traditional video editing software.
• Why I'm still primarily focused on audio production, even after attending VidSummit.
• How I used OpenAI Codex to turn an existing podcast episode into a narrative documentary called The Evidence of a Mile.
• How I used AI to create my own Narrative Podcast Studio software for reviewing audio and requesting precise revisions.
• What I learned from the audience response to an earlier narrative experiment on Building a Life and Business Together.
• Why I'm reconsidering my need for some of the traditional audio editing software I've used for years.
• How I used AI to create transcripts for thousands of episodes from my podcast archives.
• How my automated Content Ideas workflow searches those archives for stories worth sharing and creates first drafts in my writing style.
• How that process led to my recent article about the advice Dan Miller gave me when I wanted to create a $10,000-per-month mastermind program.

I'm having a lot of fun exploring these possibilities, and I'm excited about what they could mean for the future of content creation.
