Alex Cattoni is on a mission to humanize the internet, and honestly, we are here for it. She joins Jay Schwedelson to break down why the "bro marketing" era is dying and how empathy is the new currency. They also get into the messy reality of AI in copywriting, exploring why tools like ChatGPT might actually be making real writers more valuable, not obsolete.
