#65 Jay Acunzo: Storytelling & Becoming Irreplaceable in the Age of AI

Going Direct Conversations · May 26, 2026 · 1h 4m

I sat down with Jay Acunzo, author, speaker, and storytelling consultant, to discuss how to matter more and make people care in a world drowning in mediocre content.

Jay shares his core philosophy of, “resonance over reach,” storytelling in the age of AI, how to escape the commodity trap, and how to become irreplaceable by developing a real point of view.

This was one of my favorite episodes to date. There is a ton of invaluable information here.

Enjoy.
