It's not just about the future of entertainment.

Here’s the real takeaway:
- The speed of AI adoption in film and music is a signal for all industries.
- If synthetic talent can headline a movie, what happens in advertising?
- If AI can land a record deal, what happens in publishing, journalism, and sports commentary?
- If audiences accept digital stars, how long before other sectors follow?

The bigger story is not whether AI can act or sing. It’s how quickly industries transition from dismissing new technology to negotiating contracts with it.

Have you ever wondered why we adhere to a seven-day week? Surprisingly, it's not due to alignment with solar or lunar cycles. The origins trace back to the Babylonians who staunchly advocated for this structure, which eventually permeated through various cultures, governmental systems, and religious practices. Today, this tradition stands firm, showcasing the profound impact of historical influence.

Influence transcends mere logic; it thrives on unwavering determination and consistent communication of a vision until it becomes ingrained in society's fabric. Prominent figures in contemporary thought leadership exemplify this:
- Satya Nadella reshaped Microsoft's essence around empowerment, cloud technology, and artificial intelligence.
- Elon Musk championed sustainable energy and space exploration, gradually earning global recognition.
- Simon Sinek catalyzed a lasting leadership movement with a simple yet powerful mantra: "Start with Why."

The key takeaway? Driving change in your field doesn't hinge on possessing the flawless concept but rather on persistence, unwavering belief, and the courage to echo your narrative until it reshapes the prevailing culture.

Last week, PayPal posted a job listing for a “Head of CEO Content.”
Translation? A full-time ghostwriter…Paying up to $236,000 a year. It went viral. The high volume of applications closed the post in under 36 hours. Why? Because we’ve officially entered the era of personal brand over corporate brand. And smart executives know: People don’t follow companies, they follow people.

“People follow people, not brands. That shift is reshaping how influence, trust, and legacy are built.”
