Creator Workshop Series: Nicole Young

Personal branding and practical AI aren't niche skills reserved for tech aficionados, they're two of the most useful things anyone can learn right now. One makes you visible. The other makes you faster. Together, they give you something most careers can't promise: real leverage and autonomy that belong to you, not your employer.

Nicole has lived this through more than one career pivot, including a recent layoff and came away convinced that the people with the most options are the ones who've built a name and know how to put AI to work. In this session, she breaks down the specific skills worth knowing in both that have personally helped her replace her lost tech salary with income streams that she has created through her brand and the use of AI tools.
