Buckle up for a wild ride into the AI universe with Rory Flynn & Drew Brucker – two marketing bros who stumbled into Midjourney and never looked back.
In this episode, you'll discover:✗ How we went from "WTF is prompt engineering?" to "I can't sleep without my nightly MidJourney fix"✗ Why Midjourney is the secret sauce in our creative cocktails (and why your boss needs to chill about AI)✗ The inside scoop on using AI without turning into a soulless robot (or leaving your couch)
From late-night prompt battles to accidental viral moments, we're spilling the tea on the good, the bad, and the hilariously glitchy. We dish on how we're navigating this newly inhabited world of AI-powered creativity – and why you should too.
Warning: Side effects may include uncontrollable urges to generate weird art at 3 AM, an addiction to style codes, and sudden desires to ditch your day job for full-time AI wizardry. Listen at your own risk!
Whether you're a Midjourney newbie or a prompt prodigy, this pod is for you. Tune in for laughs, learning, and a glimpse into the future of creativity.
Just make sure to blame us when you fall down the Midjourney rabbit hole.
