204 Holding onto the Human Touch in an AI-Driven World with Vivienne Mackinder

“The emotional response is what makes hairdressing so joyful.”   Artificial intelligence is changing the world we live in right in front of our eyes. The impact of it can’t be overestimated, and whether you like it or not, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.   So we need to learn about it, understand it, and, more importantly, figure out how to use it to improve our lives and our businesses. Just as importantly, we need to hold onto and celebrate the human touch, soulful connections, and creativity that set us apart from AI. Because, after all, we are in the people business!   In today's episode, Vivienne Mackinder and I discuss the impacts that AI is having on the hairdressing industry and why inherently human characteristics are irreplaceable!     For full show notes, links and resources mentioned visit: https://growmysalonbusiness.com/podcast/204/   Thanks so much for joining me this week.

Om Podcasten

I know that being in business isn’t always easy. Along with the many highs and ‘a ha’ moments it can sometimes be soul destroying, frustrating and a very lonely place to be. Being a business owner is one of life’s greatest educations and it gives you two clear choices, either you continually learn, adapt and grow, or you resist change, stagnate and perish. We live in ever changing and sometimes challenging times, so being informed and constantly inspired is more important than ever. Join Antony Whitaker talking to thought leaders on the business side of the hairdressing industry discussing insightful, provocative and inspiring ideas that matter. Get ready to learn, get ready to be challenged, get ready to be inspired and most importantly get ready to grow your salon business!
