AI Can't Replace You as a Person: Building Your Thought Leadership Platform

Episode Notes

In this episode, I'm joined by marketing expert Kelly Schuknecht, who shares her journey from being "the person behind the person" to founding 2-Mile High Marketing, where she helps business owners establish their thought leadership platforms.

Kelly explains why thought leadership is more important than ever in the AI era: "AI can't replace you as a person." While AI can generate content quickly, your personal story, expertise, and human connection remain irreplaceable assets in business growth.

We discuss: • The three pillars of thought leadership—visibility, credibility, and profitability • How "John," an accountant nearing retirement, became known as "the guy with the book" in his industry • Practical strategies for implementing thought leadership in your business • Specific recommendations for LinkedIn posting, podcast guesting, and speaking engagements
