Aggressively Human: Online Business in the Age of AI, Algorithms & Automations

In a world focused on more: more content, more followers, more marketing, more scale, more noise… we’re facing less trust, less contact, less reach. We’re drowning in AI-generated slop, being pitch-slapped by “personalized” email funnels that couldn’t be farther from authentic, and struggling to be seen by a pay-to-play algorithm. It’s never been easier to create and connect more cheaply and at more scale, with less trust and more skepticism.But for experts and service-based businesses? We’re seeing the pendulum swing back. The answer isn’t to play by these trends. It’s to be **aggressively human.** aggressivelyhuman.substack.com

  "But what if someone steals my idea?"

  May 28, 202657 minS0

  <p>Getting ripped off online used to feel like the worst-case scenario for putting your ideas out there. Now it’s a near-certainty — your work has already been scraped, ingested, and trained on, whether you wanted it to be or not. But, on the other hand, if you don’t claim your expertise early and often… you can’t be the one cited and known for your work.</p><p>In this episode, we talk about the tension between wanting to be found and being afraid of being stolen from — and why the answer isn’t to publish less. We get into what...

  BTS: Evolving the Deeper Foundations Membership from 20 to 150 members

  May 21, 202655 minS0

  <p>After nearly two years and a survey of 50+ members, Jessica’s Deeper Foundations membership had clearly outgrown its original container — and Jessica finally had the data to prove what was working, what was friction, and what needed to be rebuilt.</p><p>In this episode, Jessica walks Meg through the full arc: how the membership started as a 10-lesson video library for 20 superfans, grew to 150+ members with 2-3 weekly events, and what happened when she asked them what they needed now that the membership had grown.

  When AI FOMO is real: Speed vs. Discernment

  May 7, 202649 minS0

  <p>The AI adoption conversation in early 2026 is loud, fast, and full of warnings that you’ll be left behind if you don’t move now. But for most of us, the real question isn’t how fast you can adopt every new tool—it’s whether the tool or use case is right for your business.</p><p>In this episode, Jessica shares her own journey from existential AI FOMO in January (OpenClaw! ClaudeCode! Opus! Oh my!) to a more grounded relationship with which tools actually serve her business. Meg brings her framework on early adopter cycles, the system stress tha...

  Why you should care about Business Governance structures with Strange Birds

  Apr 30, 202654 minS0

  <p>Business governance — LLC, C-Corp, Co-Op…. sounds boring as hell. But is it?</p><p>Instead of setting up a traditional partnership or agency, Anna and Janel of Strange Birds did something different — they spent a year building out the governance structure of a worker-owned cooperative.</p><p>Anna has been running Strange Birds, an idea specialist consultancy for over six years; Janel joined two and a half years ago after leaving Meta — and instead of just adding a second name to the partnership agreement, they restructured the whole business as a worker-owned co-op.</p><p>We dig into what a cooper...
