New Creavo Cast episode just dropped on YouTube.

If you’re a solopreneur, creative, or small business owner, this one hits home. We’re talking about the business expenses that quietly pile up, why regular audits matter more than most people realize, and how to make smarter decisions about the tools, subscriptions, and services you’re paying for. We also get into a bigger question—how to make sure you’re seen as valuable, not expendable.

We tackled a big topic on this episode of Creavo Cast: AI, creativity, and where the human edge still matters most.

Carl shared a real branding story where AI-generated concepts kept missing the mark, while human design strategy won out. We also talked about the recent ruling around AI-generated art and copyright, plus how we’re each using AI in practical ways to speed up work without letting it replace real creative thinking.

If you’re a designer, creator, solopreneur, or business owner trying to figure out how AI actually fits into your work, this one’s worth a listen.
