AI can give you an answer—but how do you decide what to do with it?
On this episode of Not Just Music Podcast, Duan sits down with Minister Rhonda Wilson and licensed clinical mental health therapist Michelle Tillman to discuss faith, mental health, and the human connections that matter as AI becomes part of everyday life.
From spiritual discernment and checking AI-generated information to loneliness, emotional dependence, and the importance of therapeutic relationships, we explore using the technology while staying grounded in who we are.
Candace joins the conversation to share the purpose behind AI Career Pivot Group’s upcoming Tea Experience and its focus on learning, support, and preparing for change.
An honest conversation about powerful tools, personal responsibility, and keeping your foundation strong.

AI Should Be the Tool, Not the Artist
Artificial intelligence has changed the way music is created—and even the way people listen. Instead of simply asking whether a song is good, listeners are increasingly asking, “Was this made with AI?”
In this episode of Not Just Music Podcast, Duan Barrino continues the conversation about AI’s growing influence on music. He explains why AI can be a powerful creative tool, but should never become the sole determining factor behind an artist’s work.
Prompting alone is not a golden ticket into the music industry. Artists still need talent, substance, presentation, a personal identity, and the ability to bring their music to life beyond a computer screen. When AI replaces the human instead of assisting the human, music risks losing even more of its value.
This isn’t about bashing AI. It’s about using it responsibly, strengthening what you already bring to the table, and making sure people can still see and hear the person behind the creation.
Use the tools. Accept help. Learn the craft. Build your own path—and never lose the human touch that makes your music yours.

A Song Can Follow You for the Rest of Your Life
What happens when the music you create becomes bigger than a moment—and starts representing who you are?
In this episode of Not Just Music Podcast, Duan and Quincy Murdock slow down for a real conversation surrounding Quincy's new gospel record, This Is Called My Learn Song, and the personal growth, faith, lessons, and experiences behind it.
Quincy explains why this record isn't simply a switch to another genre. It's a reflection of where he is in life. He opens up about creating from a difficult place, stepping further into his faith, making music that represents what he truly believes, and being prepared to stand behind those words long after the song is released.
The conversation also goes behind the scenes of creating the record. Duan breaks down his approach as a producer—from choosing emotion over a technically perfect vocal take to layering background vocals, working with musicians, and making production decisions designed to strengthen Quincy's message instead of overpowering it.
Then the discussion moves into one of today's biggest conversations in music: AI. Duan explains the difference between allowing AI to create everything for you and using AI as an assistant to something you've already created. The message is simple: bring your own idea, voice, emotion, and creativity to the table first.
But everything eventually comes back to one point:
Be careful what you put into your music, because a song can follow you for the rest of your life.
Create something you can connect with. Create something you believe in. And create something you're willing to stand behind when people are still listening years from now.
