Ep.106 | How AI Is Changing the Online Business Space & Why We’re Not Panicking with Christy Price, Squarespace Expert & Educator
"AI is going to ruin web design." "SEO is dying." "The online business ship has already sailed." If you've been hearing some version of this and quietly spiralling about it, this episode is your antidote, fam.
Christy Price has run a rock-solid Squarespace business since 2018, and she's been in web design for two whole decades... long enough to have watched Dreamweaver, then WordPress, and now AI each get announced as the thing that would surely put designers out of work. Spoiler: she's still here, busier and feeling more free than ever.
We get into a bunch of personal stories, a few unhinged tangents (Reddit, sleep number beds, a very stubborn puppy), and give you a whole lot of permission to stop panicking - enjoy! ☺️
In this episode, we explore:
➡️ How a stranger on a ski lift talked Christy into a big life decision
➡️ The email-signature move that gives you full permission to log off
➡️ Christy's secret test for every tool she picks
➡️ The reframe that puts you back in charge of your calendar
➡️ How multiple revenue streams become lifelines when you suddenly can't work
➡️ The two-question filter Christy runs her whole business through
➡️ Where all three of us would start from scratch today with zero followers
➡️ Why Reddit might be the last trustworthy corner of the internet
➡️ What happened to entry-level copywriting jobs, and Christy's advice for anyone starting out now
