Episode 019 — Overcoming AI Resistance with Al Kuschner
AI can feel overwhelming, intimidating, and even threatening—especially if you don’t come from a technical background. In this episode of Overcoming Anything, host Anne Vryonides sits down with Al Kushner, a thought leader, award-winning author, and innovator in AI-driven personal branding, to explore how anyone can overcome resistance to AI and use it as a powerful ally instead of a threat.
Al shares how he went from navigating steep learning curves to becoming an AI authority—building his own AI “board of advisors” and using AI agents to save time, grow his business, and stay competitive in a rapidly changing world.
