If you’ve forgotten how you naturally write, you’re not alone. Yet AI-copy is the fastest way for others to lose trust in your brand, so it’s never been more important to reclaim your voice.

In this episode, Joana puts Delia in the hot seat to show you how you can use AI to find your voice and brand personality again and train it to sound like your most authentic self from 2020.

🔥 Discover exactly how many writing samples AI needs to learn your voice (hint: it's a lot more than a few blog posts)

🔥 The surprising source that captures your personality better than anything you've ever published

🔥 What your voice actually is beyond tone and style, and the hidden ingredients that give AI copy real personality

🔥 How most people respond to AI actually flatttens your voice, and what to do instead

🔥 The simple habit that catches the AI clichés your brain skims straight past

🔥 How to get AI to write an 80% first draft without making you sound funnier online than you are in real life

"Delia is great to work with."
Lovely. Also completely useless to anyone deciding whether to hire her.

Trust is at an all-time low in 2026, and the words most likely to turn a browser into a paying client are your testimonials, if you get them right.

Listen to find out;

 🔥 How Joana gets powerful testimonials from names like Rachel Rogers and Derek Halpern when they don’t have time to send her anything

🔥 How Delia managed to get 10 strong testimonials from Joana (when she was her client) in a 20-minute call
🔥 The three angles your testimonials need to hit to have the best results
🔥 The rule from Delia's newsroom days that tells you exactly where each testimonial belongs on your website
🔥 Why Delia hates testimonial carousels (designers, brace yourselves)

This week, we show you exactly what it takes to make AI do the opposite of what everyone fears — not flatten your personality, but actually find it. 

If you've ever wondered whether your website is quietly costing you clients, or you've thought about building or rebuilding your own site, this one's for you.

Listen to find out:

🔥 How a 90-minute AI interview turned "jack of all trades, master of none" into the exact opposite — and what it uncovered about Joana's sister's 19 months at sea

🔥 The leather skirt that got Joana hired — and what it says about the real reason clients pick one service provider over another

🔥 The AI photo trick that turned a shoot on a messy office floor into something that looks like it cost thousands in a studio

🔥 The one-word swap Delia was taught at copywriting school, before AI ever existed, that instantly makes cold website copy pull a reader in

🔥 The "buried gold" mistake Delia sees on nearly every website she reviews — and the headline test that exposes it in ten seconds

🔥 Why "my website doesn't bring me leads" might actually mean the opposite of what you think it means

This week, Delia and Joana get into how they went from a love-hate relationship with AI to going all in and building an entire product around it.

Learn:

🔥 How we launch a new product — and exactly what we do to test and research it first (yes, you can still be a beta tester)

🔥 How you can create a 5-page website in a single day with pro photos, design, and copy, even if you don’t have the budget to hire professionals

🔥Why we’re still not using AI for design (and what you can use instead)

🔥What actually changed Delia's mind about AI after years of resenting it as a copywriter
🔥The 90-minute audio interview that teaches Claude to sound exactly like you, right down to your favourite song

Join us live this Wednesday for the free workshop, The Value Gap: Why People Underpay You and How to Fix It → https://learn.theambitiouscreatives.com/the-value-gap-workshop

🔥 What a 21-year-old Joana learned flying to a billionaire family's mansion to work for their 16-year-old daughter — and it wasn't about the design

🔥 The reverse-engineering trick for pricing that doesn’t factor in what you “think” your clients can afford
