If you’ve ever wondered whether newsletters still matter in an AI-driven world, this conversation might completely change the way you think about owned media, monetization, and the future of digital business.

In this episode, I’m sharing a special roundtable conversation with a group of female founders who attended the New Media Summit in Austin with me. 

We unpack our 5 biggest takeaways...from AI clones and the future of content creation to why newsletters are becoming one of the most powerful owned assets in a digital business.

One theme came up again and again: the importance of building platforms you actually own. Newsletters, communities, and direct audience relationships are becoming increasingly valuable as social media algorithms continue to shift.

We also discuss how AI is rapidly transforming how creators produce content and scale their businesses. As one speaker shared, the question isn’t whether to use A, it’s how we’ll use it to maintain our competitive advantage.

This conversation also reinforced something I’ve been teaching for years: newsletters are more than just marketing tools. They can become real products and meaningful revenue streams through sponsorships, partnerships, and advertising.

What You’ll Learn

• Why newsletters are becoming one of the most valuable owned media assets in your business
• How AI tools like voice clones are changing podcasting and content creation
• The role paid advertising plays in growing large newsletter audiences
• Why community and human connection matter even more in an AI-driven world
• How founders are monetizing newsletters through sponsorships and partnerships
• A simple strategy for gathering audience data when people join your email list
• Why thinking of your newsletter as a product, not just a marketing tool, can change your revenue potential

This conversation left me energized, not just about newsletters, but about the future of digital business.

The biggest reminder?
 The tools may evolve, but we’re still serving real people.

Listen in and let me know what takeaway resonated with you most.
