Most creators think the biggest risk today is someone copying their ideas. Kary Oberbrunner argues the real danger is far worse: creators are getting locked out of their own ideas entirely.

In this conversation, bestselling author and entrepreneur Kary Oberbrunner explains how intellectual property actually works in the AI era, why unprotected ideas are more vulnerable than ever, and how creators can build with confidence instead of fear.

If you are a coach, course creator, author, or founder building frameworks, content, or products, this episode will change how you think about ownership, creativity, and scale.

In this episode, we cover:

- What it really means to get “locked out” of your own ideas

- Why AI is accelerating IP risk, not causing it

- The fence metaphor and how boundaries unlock creativity

- What creators should protect first and in what order

- How to use AI as a strategic thinking partner without giving your ideas away
