The Human Side of AI is a podcast for business owners and entrepreneurs who want to use AI in a way that actually fits their life and work. Each week, Mondays are led by our AI hosts diving into tools, trends, and practical applications, while Fridays bring real conversations with real humans using AI to work smarter and live fuller lives.
Because at the end of the day, we believe AI gives you something priceless back: time to be human.
Hosted by Flora Mercury. A Jamout.ai original podcast, made for the Club Jam community and anyone ready to stop drowning in the to-do list and start living on purpose.
No Economy on a Dead Planet: How Small Businesses Can Use AI Consciously, with Brandi Clark Burton
What happens when someone who has spent decades fighting for the planet starts using AI every day? Flora Mercury sits down with Brandi Clark Burton, owner of the Austin Common and a vision-to-reality strategist, to talk about using AI with a conscience.
Brandi shares how AI helped her find the right travel wheelchair for her mom, turn a week of agonizing over a speaking application into an afternoon, and deliver agency-level work as a solopreneur with Claude Projects. She also explains why consumers have the power to demand better from AI companies, the simple practice of asking businesses for what you want, and her coming book idea, Asking for the World You Want.
The conversation closes on "community as a service," and why in a world full of screens, human connection may be the most valuable thing a business can offer.
In this episode:
Why Brandi believes "there's no economy on a dead planet"
How to ask AI for what you really need, not what a search bar can handle
Using Claude Projects to manage client contracts, transcripts, and deliverables
One thing small business owners can do this month to use AI more consciously
The realtor community that clients refuse to leave
Why in-person connection matters more than ever in the age of AI

What the Biggest Brands Learned About AI Content (and How Small Businesses Can Use It This Week)
More than 3,400 marketers gathered in Denver for Content Marketing World 2026, and the biggest brands in the room came to a surprising conclusion: making more content is not what wins customers. Trust is.
In this AI-hosted deep dive, we break down what that means for small business owners who are stretched thin and wearing every hat. You'll learn Goldie Chan's human/AI sandwich for using AI without losing your voice, the blandness test that shows when your content could belong to anyone, and simple copywriting moves from Nancy Harhut's brain science session, like specific words, countdowns, and timing offers to fresh starts. We also cover the award-winning storytelling that beat volume, why more customers are finding businesses through AI search instead of websites, and why community is the biggest trend of the year.
Plus, three things you can do this week to turn your content into customers.

Vanessa Ayres: From Software Architect to Mahjong Lifestyle Brand
Vanessa Ayres spent years as a software architect before she made a brave call: put her health first and build something of her own. That something is Vassara Mahj, a mahjong lifestyle brand blending elegant original apparel, weekly community, and a whole lot of heart.
Vanessa shares how one Facebook post turned into a circle of women learning American mahjong around a kitchen table, how a free SCORE workshop led by Jam Anderson brought her to Club Jam, and how she now runs a one-woman business with Claude as her right hand. She uses AI to mock up her website for her Shopify developer, research what sells before she designs it, plan Q4 products like mahjong ornaments and wrapping paper, and build an FAQ page for Midnight Mahj, a glow-in-the-dark mahjong night designed to grow her email list.
If you've ever felt stretched thin trying to wear every hat in your business, Vanessa is proof you don't have to have it all together to build something beautiful.
Find Vassara Mahj on Instagram and Facebook, and join The Enclave on her coming soon page for first access to every launch.
