Leading With AI: Seven Steps to Transform Your Business and Empower Your People (overview)
2d ago00:16:36Tap to summarize95% of corporate AI projects are failing right now — and it has nothing to do with the technology. In this episode, we break down the seven-step system at the heart of "Leading With AI: Seven Steps to Transform Your Business and Empower Your People", the playbook for leaders who refuse to freeze while the ground shifts under them. Here's the truth most people won't say out loud: AI isn't failing. Leadership is. The tools do exactly what they're designed to do. What they can't do is give your people direction, build trust, or align a confused team around a future worth chasing. That part is on you, and that's exactly what we get into. You'll walk away with the full framework: how to define your why before you touch a single tool, build the right foundation, create AI-native workflows, empower your teams instead of frightening them, lead with transparency when mistakes happen, measure what actually matters, and adapt in real time as the pace keeps accelerating. No hype. No jargon. No trend-chasing. Just a clear, practical map for becoming the calmest, clearest, most trusted person in the room while everyone else is still waiting for permission. Whether you're a founder, an executive, or the person your team looks to when things get uncertain, this episode will change how you think about leading through the biggest shift of your career.

The AI Wrote Your App. The Lawsuit Names You.
2w ago00:21:33Tap to summarizeAttorney Mitch Jackson warns that the rising trend of "vibe coding"—using AI to generate software from plain English—is creating a massive legal and financial liability for developers. Although AI makes app creation accessible, it often produces insecure code that lacks essential privacy protections required by state and federal laws. Because the law holds the human creator responsible for data breaches and compliance failures, "vibe coders" face severe penalties regardless of their technical expertise. The source emphasizes that developers must establish formal business entities, like corporations and LLCs, to shield their personal assets from lawsuits. Ultimately, the text serves as a call to action for creators to prioritize manual security reviews and accurate privacy policies over development speed.

Introduction: How to Survive Artificial Intelligence in Hollywood
3w ago00:26:24Tap to summarizeIf you work in film, television, or streaming, this episode is the one I need you to listen to today. This is the full introduction to my new book, How to Survive Artificial Intelligence in Hollywood, and I wrote it for you. Not for lawyers. Not for academics. For the working producer, director, showrunner, actor, writer, agent, manager, and studio executive trying to make smart decisions about AI on a real project, on a real set, with real money on the line. Here's the truth nobody is saying out loud. The AI rules in this industry are being written right now, in courtrooms, in union halls, in state capitols, and on the set you walk onto tomorrow morning. The people who understand those rules are going to make the next decade of film and television. The people who don't are going to learn the hard way, through lawsuits, lost copyrights, killed distribution deals, and union grievances they never saw coming. This book changes that. The introduction tells you exactly why I wrote it, who it's for, and what you're going to walk away with after twenty chapters. Press play. Consider what you hear. If the message resonates with you, text it to one person you work with who needs to hear it. That's how we move an industry forward, one conversation at a time.

How to Survive Artificial Intelligence in Hollywood: The Working Professional's Guide to the New Rules of Film, Television, and Streaming
3w ago00:23:11Tap to summarizeRight now, somewhere in Burbank, a producer just signed a forty-page AI vendor contract she didn't read. Eight months from today, that signature becomes a federal lawsuit, a SAG-AFTRA grievance, and a streamer threatening to drop her show. You already feel it. Every meeting now opens with the same question. Are we using AI on this? Nobody in the room agrees on what the answer means. Your line producer says one thing. Your studio counsel says another. Your distributor sends a delivery checklist asking for things your post house has never been asked to certify. Your E&O carrier just slipped a new exclusion into your policy. And the clock is running. Here is the truth nobody is telling you. The decisions you make this week on AI in your productions will determine whether your project gets distributed, whether your stars sue you, whether your union files a grievance, and whether the copyright in your finished work survives at the U.S. Copyright Office. This is not coming. This is here. And you are out of time to learn it the slow way. That is exactly why this book exists. Veteran trial lawyer Mitch Jackson hands you the working operating manual for AI in film, television, and streaming production right now, in 2026. Twenty chapters. Twenty distinct issues. Plain English. No law review. Built for working pros — producers, directors, showrunners, studio executives, actors, writers, editors, agents, managers, and the lawyers who back them up. Inside, you will get straight answers on: Copyright in the AI era — what registers, what gets carved out, and the human-authorship test that determines who actually owns your final cut Disney v. Midjourney, UMG v. Anthropic, and the Bartz precedent — how training-data lawsuits flow downstream into your project Digital replicas and voice cloning — consent, compensation, and control under the SAG-AFTRA agreements and the ELVIS Act Posthumous rights, deepfakes, and synthetic performers like Tilly Norwood — the new clearance reality The 50-state patchwork, the NO FAKES Act, the EU AI Act, AB 853, and the December 2025 federal AI executive order The 2026 WGA, SAG-AFTRA, IATSE, and Animation Guild contracts — what is on the bargaining table and what it means for your set De-aging, ADR cloning, and lip-sync alteration — when consent triggers and when it does not AI riders for talent, vendors, and crew — the contract language that holds up in arbitration Chain of title, copyright registration, and E&O insurance in the AI era — and the warranties you need before you wrap AI in marketing — trailers, key art, chatbots, and the FTC penalties you did not know existed Read it once, cover to cover. Then keep it on the shelf next to your call sheets. Because the people who survive this decade in entertainment will not be the smartest ones in the room. They will be the ones who saw what was coming and prepared. The ones who built a vocabulary for it. The ones who hired the right counsel, structured the right deals, and signed the right riders before their projects shipped. Whatever role you play. Whatever chair you sit in. That is what you are doing right now, with this book in your hands. More at https://mitch-jackson.com/hollywood

Privacy in America (one hour book overview)
Mar 2201:05:20Tap to summarizePRIVACY IN AMERICA- What Every American Needs to Know (one hour summary of Mitch Jackson's new book) Every day, ordinary Americans surrender intimate details of their lives without realizing it. Their phones broadcast where they sleep, worship, and seek medical care. Their cars report how they drive, where they stop, and whether they wear a seatbelt. Their smart speakers and televisions record what they say and watch inside their own homes. Data brokers package these details into dossiers and sell them to advertisers, insurers, scammers, and even government agencies that would otherwise need a warrant to obtain the same information. Artificial intelligence has made the crisis worse on every front. Deepfake voice clones now fool family members and bank representatives. AI-powered bots run autonomous romance and financial scams at industrial scale, and the very chatbots people confide in collect and train on those private conversations by default. Facial recognition systems capture biometric data that can never be changed if stolen. Fitness trackers feed health information to companies that HIPAA was never designed to regulate. Period-tracking apps generate reproductive data that can carry legal consequences in post-Dobbs America, and DNA testing companies hold genetic secrets that expose entire bloodlines when corporate finances collapse. Children face this surveillance from birth, tracked through games, apps, and school technology systems that harvest data long before a child can spell the word privacy. All of this happens under a legal framework that is fundamentally broken. The United States remains the only major democracy without a comprehensive federal privacy law, leaving Americans with a patchwork of state protections, manipulative consent interfaces designed to manufacture agreement, and screening dossiers that can determine whether they get an apartment or a job without their knowledge. This book cuts through the complexity to show everyday Americans exactly how their privacy is being taken and who is profiting from the taking. It explains what the law does and does not protect. And it lays out precisely what they can do — starting today — to fight back. Read the book (multiple formats) here https://mitch-jackson.com/privacy
