Our guest, Mike Montague, founder of Avenue 9 and host of the Human-First AI Marketing podcast, dives into the concept of \"Human-First AI Marketing\"\u2014a framework designed to keep your authenticity intact while using AI tools to grow smarter, not noisier. We unpack the dangers of AI slop, spammy marketing, and robotic communication, and reveal practical strategies for using AI to refine\u2014not replace\u2014your unique voice. Whether you're a solopreneur or managing a global brand, this conversation will shift how you think about AI, content creation, and long-term trust-building in the digital space.\nAbout the GuestMike Montague is the founder of Avenue 9, a pioneer in human-first AI marketing. He's worked with brands like LinkedIn, Uber, Zoom, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Mike is also a speaker, author of LinkedIn The Sandler Way and Playful Humans, and host of multiple podcasts with over 3.7 million downloads.\nKey Takeaways\n\n\nAI should amplify your voice, not erase it. Mike breaks down why human-first, human-in-the-middle, and human-last is the right AI workflow.\n\n\nDon\u2019t treat AI like a vending machine. Great content starts with context. Without it, your brand risks falling into generic, trust-eroding slop.\n\n\nTrust takes time. You can\u2019t rush relationships or credibility. AI can support the process, but not replace human effort.\n\n\nUse AI for strategy, not shortcuts. Chain-prompting and context-based prompting help you create content that truly resonates.\n\n\nPractical steps to sound less robotic: Feed AI your real voice via transcripts, update formatting manually, and always do a human review.\n\n\nThis episode complies with YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn community guidelines. No violations were found in the transcript.\nConnect with the GuestWebsite: www.avenue9.comPodcast: Human-First AI Marketing\nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch \u2013 DM Me Here\nCHECK PODCAST SHOWS &amp; BE A GUEST:\n\n\nTune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik\n\n\nSubscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/\n\n\nJoin Community: https://nas.io/healthymind\n\n\nOUR SERVICES\n\n\nBusiness Podcast Management \u2013 https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/\n\n\nIndividual Podcast Management \u2013 https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/\n\n\nShare Your Story With the World \u2013 https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory\n\n\nSTAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!YouTube \u2013 https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram \u2013 https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads \u2013 https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podMedium \u2013 https://medium.com/@contentbyavikFacebook \u2013 https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn \u2013 https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcasterPinterest \u2013 https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/\nSHARE YOUR REVIEW\n\n\nLeave a Google Review \u2013 https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/\n\n\nShare a video testimonial \u2013 https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/\n\n\n#podmatch #healthymind #HealthyMindByAvik #AItools #ethicalmarketing #HumanFirstAI #marketingstrategy #podcastinglife #podcastercommunity #contentcreation #authenticbranding #trustbasedmarketing #digitalethics #consciousmarketing #podcastrecommendation #growthmindset #AIbiz #AvikChakraborty #MikeMontague #businesspodcast #trendingpodcast #marketingwithheart #contentstrategy #mentalhealthintech #LinkedInmarketing #aiforcreators #storytellingasmedicine #podcastingjourney #personalbrand #digitalvoice #smarttoolsrealvoice","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cfa1318a-87ca-47b9-8261-9910260da96c/untitled-design-5-a2swm.jpg"}
