🎶 Imperfect on purpose.
Hey Reader,
Okay, deep breath. We’ve done enough righteous yelling for a minute — let’s talk about art, AI, and the chaos that makes you magic. This week isn’t about fighting the machine; it’s about remembering why you’re irreplaceable.
Charlie Puth might be one of the only creators using AI correctly — as a mirror, not a replacement. In his Professor Puth series, he breaks down what makes a song work, and this week’s reel is a masterclass in human imperfection. He points to the little timing errors, the blatant mistakes, the notes that almost miss and shows you why that’s what makes your favorite song unforgettable.
Here’s my hot take: We’ve been coasting on human magic for decades.
Until AI showed up at the consumer level, we took for granted what makes us valuable. We never had to analyze our own originality because the world was still built around it. But now? The bots are here, the noise is deafening, and if you don’t know what makes you uniquely human, the algorithms sure as hell won’t figure it out for you.
So when Charlie deconstructs a track, think of him as your creative therapist — pulling apart your quirks, history, and contradictions to show you where the gold is buried. All the weird little details you think don’t matter... that’s your hook. That’s what makes people remember you.
If you’ve followed me long enough, you know my brand of weird is very on the nose. I’m the smut-loving, cat-wrangling, cello-playing ex–FBI-intern–turned–librarian who got recruited by the CIA twice, earned film credits at Disney, survived the Hollywood circuit, and somehow ended up running a creator studio in the Pacific Northwest. That’s the highlight reel, and I haven’t even gotten to the ballroom dancing years.
The point? That mess is the music. Those details are what make my content impossible for a bot to replicate... and that’s true for you, too.
If you want to future-proof your work, you have to start thinking like Professor Puth. Learn how to deconstruct what makes you human and why it hits different. That’s the foundation of everything we do at Sasquatch Media Grounds: helping creators turn their imperfect chaos into magnetic media.
💻 Your next step:
You, Me, & ChatGPT is featured again this week on YouTube because it’s now fundamental training for all my production folks. If I’m your full show runner, I handle your entire production pipeline for you. But if you’re in DIY or done-with-you mode, this workshop is your express ticket to creating high-quality content on a budget, without losing your humanity.
AI won’t replace you if you understand how it works. It’ll just amplify your genius... assuming you’ve met it first.
If all of this has you fired up — good. That spark is what we build with.
Here’s what to do next: get on the waitlist for the next Sound Before the Spotlight cohort. This is where I teach you how to use AI tools the right way. As your production crew, not your personality replacement. You’ll learn how to make *your* content instead of letting it sit half-finished in your drafts folder, collecting dust like it’s still 2010.
It’s time to use tech to amplify your humanity, not edit it out.
Gossip From the Creator Trenches...
👑 Bring Your Own Inflatable Costume
If you’re headed to a No Kings protest march this weekend, refresh yourself on safe and legal protesting first. The ACLU dropped a killer carousel of reminders — go read it. And seriously: leave your phone at home and shut the fuck up. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for showing up in peace. I’ll be the one riding an inflatable dinosaur somewhere in the metro area. ✌🏼🦖
🔗 Safety first! Read this before inflating your costume.
💰 Yeah, I Like Mark Cuban
There’s a reason I’ve got an AI version of Mark Cuban sitting on my digital board of advisors in ChatGPT. If you’ve watched You, Me, & ChatGPT, you probably built your own version too. The secret? You can pick anyone who has a public digital footprint and actually matches your values. This article just proves why the real Mark Cuban earned his spot on mine — a billionaire calling out billionaires? Chef’s kiss.
🔗 A billionaire calling out billionaires... what a concept.
📚 Puttin' on the Ritz
No link this time — just a little peek behind the curtain. Sasquatch Media Grounds was proud to be a sponsor of the Fort Vancouver Regional Library Foundation’s annual gala, and it was a total vibe. Sequins, book lovers, and my 2025 support squad all in one room. Proof that community and champagne can absolutely coexist. 🥂📖
Studio Updates
Guess who finally got her shit together? 🙋🏻♀️ Nothing like a little ADHD-fueled procrastination and a hard deadline to drag Sasquatch out of hiding. The website’s live, the 9-grid is up on Instagram, and I’m feeling dangerously legit. Booyah, baby. Too legit to quit… or at least too caffeinated to stop now. ☕🔥
💻 BOT BOSS HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
You, Me, & ChatGPT is now FREE (because let’s be real… the link was already getting passed around).
You asked. You snooped. You shared it anyway.
So here it is... officially. This is the full workshop where I show you how I use ChatGPT to run my business, manage my studio, and keep my brain intact. We’re not talking about better prompts... we’re talking systems, strategy, and turning AI into your actual support staff.

Want the bots?
You still gotta pay for those — but they’re cheap compared to the bro-bots flooding your feed. The magic isn’t in the bots; it’s in the skills you’ll learn from the workshop. I can’t sell your genius, just the stage that lets it shine.
