Welcome to How I AI, the podcast featuring real people, real stories, and real AI in action. I'm Brooke Gramer, your host and guide on this journey into the real world impact of artificial intelligence.
For over 15 years, I've worked in creative marketing, events, and business strategy, wearing all the hats. I know the struggle of trying to scale and manage all things without burning out. But here's the game changer, AI.
This isn't just a podcast. How I AI is a community, a space where curious minds like you come together, share ideas because AI isn't just a trend, it's a shift. The sooner we embrace it, the more freedom, creativity, and opportunities we'll unlock.
Hello and welcome back to How I AI. I'm your host, Brooke Gramer.
Today's episode is a little different. This is a bonus drop between seasons.
Season 1 has officially wrapped, and I'm so excited about where season 2 is headed. There are some real shifts coming, and I can't wait to share more soon. But in the meantime, I wanted to bring you inside one of the most energizing events I covered this year. Earlier this spring, I had the chance to attend Wellest Week Miami. Wellest Week is a new large-scale annual gathering that brings together founders, investors, scientists, clinicians, creators, and brands all focused on the wellness economy. Think of it as the intersection of health, longevity, performance, tech, culture, all in one room. This was the inaugural year. I'll say it right now, inaugural events hit different. What stood out to me about this event was the curation. This was not a traditional wellness conference full of supplement brands and smoothie booths. Yes, there were conversations about health and well-being, but running underneath it all was a much bigger question. As technology gets smarter, how do we build lives, companies, and communities that are actually more intentional? Of course, AI was everywhere. It's hard to attend a conference nowadays where it's not. But AI was present not just as a buzzword, but as a real undercurrent in almost every panel I sat in on. Today, I want to share what I took away from those live talks. And then I bring you two exclusive interviews I recorded right there on the wellest floor.
First, you'll hear from Dr. Antonio Vasaiely. He's the Chief AI Officer at Beyond Pilots. He gave me the clearest breakdown I've heard of where companies actually are with AI right now, what agentic AI really means, and how wellness and longevity brands are starting to use personalization in ways we haven't seen before. Then I sit down with Kunal Sood. He's the founder of AudacityAI, and he brought something I didn't expect to hear at a tech conference, a conversation about consciousness, inner work, and why founders need to get their story right before they train anything else. Together, these two exclusive conversations gave a real full picture. Antonio maps the landscape, Kunal asks what kind of people we want to be inside all of it. And mark your calendars, Wellest Week returns to Miami April 12th through April 18th in 2027
I'll link everything in the show notes below. All right, let's get into it. Before I bring on my two guests, I want to walk you through the AI panels I sat in on at Wellest Week. Because honestly, even before I hit record with any of my interviews, I was already taking notes. Let me take you through what stood out in each session, why I think it matters for you. I sat in on five different AI-focused conversations across the event. Each one had a different angle, but by the end of the week, I could see the same five threads running through all of them. The first panel I want to talk about was called the Content Wave, Media and the New Attention Economy. And it was really about one central question. How do creators and brands stay relevant when AI can now generate content at scale? The most useful thing that came out of this session was a simple, but real warning.
If you go into an AI tool without any setup or personalization, you're going to get the same output as everyone else. This makes a lot of sense because we're all collectively sourcing the same data at this point. The room was asked how many people are using AI for content, and then how many actually put that personalized effort behind their tools.
Maybe set up custom prompts, told it who they are, what they stood for, and what exactly they do. The number of hands dropped significantly, and that gap is exactly why so much AI content out there sounds identical right now. The speakers of this panel also made a really key point. The kind of content AI simply cannot produce right now is going to be that raw physical lived experience. The takeaway was not to avoid AI, it was to get clear on what you can bring that AI cannot generate, and then use AI to support everything around that. The next panel I sat in on was called Content in the Age of AI, and it was centered around digital twins and brand integrity. Jason from Digital DNA Labs opened with a concept I had not heard quite framed this way before, the idea of sequencing your digital DNA the same way you can sequence biological DNA. His company builds AI agents for people and brands, and their whole premise is that your data is the foundation of any AI system that you train. If that data is cracked, the agent will be cracked. If that data is authentic and intentional, the agent reflects that. Jason brought up the important question of whoever controls your narrative in the agentic world is one of the most important questions we are not talking about enough. Kunal, who had moderated this talk, brought the more philosophical layer as he usually does. AI right now should be about helping you tell a better truer story about yourself, not a faster one, not a louder one, a truer one. That is the highest use of these tools for our personal brand and content use. The big takeaway from this session is to think about your data as an asset. What you put out into the world, what you train your tools on, what you allow to represent you, that is going to matter more as agents become more capable. Start caring about the integrity of your information now.
