In our latest *Anthro-AI Series* conversation, anthropologist, Tom Maschio, & I explored a key rhythm for working with AI: Fast & Slow.

➡️ FAST for the data.
⬅️ SLOW for the deep human insight.
AI’s “limitations” aren’t flaws—they’re signals to pause, think, and interpret.
Is your AI analysis too. comfortable? As an anthropologist, the true insight is rarely found in the consensus. It's in the outlier.
AI is brilliant at giving us the centrist answer. But if u stop there, ur missing the most profound interpretations. Go beyond the avg. That's where innovation lives.
Excited to team up with @jamesslezak, Founder & CEO of @swayable, at #AdvertisingWeekNY! 🎤✨

We’ll be live on the Tech Stage Monday, Oct 6 at 11:40 AM—diving into AI + human creativity: how tech can amplify (not replace) the magic of human.
“Never, ever underestimate the power of humor to really connect” — one of the first principles I ever learned in advertising. And I hold this to be true no matter our form of communication! Thank you @strategist_revival for bringing me back to my early days in the biz!
In our ongoing #AnthroAI series, anthropologist, Tom Maschio, & I explore the possibility that AI might not be an omniscient overlord, but rather a creative ritual. AI can be seen as a liminal space—that powerful in-between where old patterns dissolve & brand-new possibilities emerge
till buzzing from the NYFW show by @nabysvielman Vielman ✨🔥 The looks were bold, the crowd was electric, and the whole night was peak New York energy. Loved running into old friends and making new ones — fashion week magic at its best. 🖤
Bro podcasts might just hold the key to understanding modern masculinity. Not because of the noise — but because of the search. If you’re a creator or marketer trying to reach guys, this matters. A lot. Get more from anthropologist, Tom Maschio’s & my piece in @thedrummag bit.ly/4fV4ofg #creators
Makeup-free. End-of-summer slumming. 😎✨
Serving straight vacation hangover chic:
30% freckles, 40% SPF leftovers, 30% iced coffee holding this face together.

If fall expects me polished?
Yeah… tell it to my willpower—last seen somewhere between the beach and my couch. 🏖️ #liveexpansively
In a world that feels more virtual than ever, what we’re craving most is the opposite.That’s why wrestling is exploding.It’s raw. Physical. Bodies become stories. Audiences don’t just watch — they feel. My piece w/Tom Maschio in @TheDrum:https://bit.ly/3HtssJv
Everyone’s talking about “accessibility” in AI like it’s just about making it easier to understand. But u can’t understand AI unless you can afford to play w/ it. U get a tiny free taste,just enough to get you hooked. Then: 🚫 “u don’t have enough credits.” “Upgrade to continue”
The "Anthro-AI" series is back! 🤖✨ In our 2nd chat, Tom Maschio sees a major hole: AI treats anthropology like a "natural science experiment," watching from a distance.But anthropology is about living w/ people & co-creating understanding. You can't capture that with just data
Ever wonder what an anthropologist to the biz starts do? Listen to Dr. Tom Maschio, explains in the video below, namely: "business is a form of culture." His work as a cultural anthropologist helps us interpret "consumer desires" and "business practices" to truly understand the market
What an amazing infusion of energy from @sejalita! There’s nothing like that in-person exchange of love, creativity & enthusiasm that I’ve always experienced from this amazing woman 💃❤️
Anthropologist to the biz stars, Tom Maschio, and me getting shit done (over afternoon cocktails, ofc 🤩)
It’s not about choosing btwn grit & glam—it’s about embracing both.
Female athletes are showing up on red carpets embodying a new kind of power—1 that fuses strength, femininity, & physicality.
I co-wrote a piece wi/ Tom Maschio, for @thedrummag exploring this aesthetic

Why do we do the weird stuff we do?
Turns out, they’re full of meaning. On @promptingpotential, I dissect why those quirks might be more brilliant than you think.

Big 🙏 to @rogerrohatgi.bsky.social for having me
After 5 years of being trained online, I get to be beat up in person again with the world’s BEST trainer: Carlos Soto! 💪🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♂️❤️
Working side by side with literary force Michael Palgon to shape what’s next… Can’t say much yet, but trust: this book has something to say. 👀📖 #WritingInProgress #AuthorJourney #BookAgentMagic

Solutions are old currency. Questions are the new gold. ✨
That's my take in a recent interview on the @PromptingPotential podcast w/ Chai’s @rogerrohatgi With AI giving us answers, the power shifts to those who can define the most interesting problems.

“Who am I?" - a question that even branding experts grapple with! 🤔 This clip w/@rogerrohatgi is a peek into my recent conversation on the @PromptingPotential podcast, where we challenge the pressure to fit into a single box. Live expansively! Listen to the full episode on any platform
Get a glimpse of the awesome podcast hosted by Chai’s @RogerRohatgi, “Prompting Potential” where I I talk about something I’m deeply passionate about: how we can truly thrive & be more creative alongside AI. It’s about understanding human needs and aspirations that AI can’t touch... yet.
