Creativity didn’t die — it got replaced. In thisepisode, Ed Franklin breaks down why originality is disappearing in a world obsessed with shortcuts, templates, and trend‑chasing. AI isn’t the villain; it simply exposed how many people stopped thinking for themselves.

Ed calls out the rise of AI‑generated humans — peoplewho talk, post, and think exactly alike — and explains how this sameness is creating a dangerous leadership gap. Real leaders think independently. Copy‑pasteleaders don’t.

You’ll learn how to use AI without losing your voice, how torebuild creative confidence, and why your lived experience is your greatest competitive advantage.

This episode ends with a challenge: Are you creating… orcopying?

Ed Franklin Podcaster

I am an almost 61-year-old Sales, Sales Manager, and Leader in my community in San Diego, CA. I started my podcast to help younger people navigate life since I have had hurdles like everyone else, but I tend to get a large variety of ages listening, even boomers! I have 8 children and soon to have a total of 19 grandchildren. Like many boomers I have been through the ringer when it comes to life and have many life experiences that could benefit anyone at any age. I choose to be a positive person, although it can be tough with our country's leadership over the last 20 years.
