Is AI killing creativity or quietly making creators better? In this episode, Katelyn sits down with director and brand creator Alaina Booth to unpack how to combine Main Character Energy with a practical AI strategy that actually grows your brand. Alaina shares lessons from filming weddings, music videos, and brand campaigns, and explains why every high-performing post starts with a simple story arc: character, world, conflict, transformation. You’ll learn how to spot your unique “weird,” turn it into a repeatable content lens, and use AI to remove resistance so you can publish consistently without sounding like a robot.

We dig into short-form video, hooks and captions that convert, and how Stanley AI analyzes your voice, audience signals, and saved inspirations to serve daily ideas that feel like you. Alaina breaks down where AI helps most (ideation, scripting, packaging) and where human instincts must lead (shooting, editing, creative decisions). If you’ve been posting without traction or over-consuming and under-creating, this conversation will reset how you think about branding, storytelling, and momentum.

You’ll learn:

• Story arcs 101 for Instagram and Reels

• Using AI to cut resistance and spark ideas

• Finding your “weird” and turning it into a brand lens

• Where to draw the human vs AI line in your workflow

• Building consistency without scrolling yourself into comparison
