AI for Creators and Professionals: Practical Insights with Nathaniel Reagan
Hey everyone! In this episode I chatted with Nathaniel Reagan, co-founder of Spirit Camp, to talk about how AI and creativity intersect. From shifting his perspective as a skeptic to becoming an advocate for intentional use, Nathaniel shares how AI can act as a mirror of our intentions - helping us work smarter without losing our voice or values.
We cover everything from the environmental impact of AI, to the difference between thoughtful and careless use, to practical tools like Whisper Flow and Claude that can make everyday work more efficient.
