Who Does Loren Weisman Work With, and Who Won’t He Work With?
Loren Weisman works with authoritative, authentic and experienced individuals, and he does not work with those trying to appear as such. In his view, many people lean on AI prompts, paid positioning, paid accolades and paid reviews to appear as an authority they have not earned, which he considers false and, in some ways, a form of plagiarism.
- He works with people who are prepared to be transparent, honorable and ethical at all times, and who are proud to explain their methods when asked.
- In his view, AI-written books without any AI disclosure, and paid awards presented as earned honors, are false.
- He believes a time may be coming when much of this fakeness is revealed, which can give genuine authority a better platform to stand out from the noise.
- He does not make claims or guarantees, and holds that people telling others only what they want to hear should be held accountable for it.
- He will not help someone appear as something they are not; if someone is struggling to be seen for what they truly, honorably and transparently are, that may be a good connection.
How I Work: The Full Transcription
Introduction
This is a down to earth produced video. I’m just holding a camera. Nothing special, no extra production. It’s about how I work with and who I work with and what I do and how I do it.
Who I Work With
I’m a brand communications and optics strategist. I work with authoritative, authentic and experienced individuals. I don’t work with those trying to appear as such.
AI Prompts to Appear as Something
And there are many that will tell you that. And there’s many different little AI prompts that will say, here’s what you do to appear as this. Create this to appear as that. Do this so you can appear to be this. To me, that’s false. In some ways, it’s plagiarism. Because you have so many people that are using other people’s material, other people’s authority, other people’s authenticity to appear as something that they’re not.
Paid Positioning, Accolades and Reviews
Books that they really didn’t write. They interview on podcasts that they not necessarily should be on. They pay for positioning, they pay for accolades, they pay for reviews. And in the end, if anyone really digs in, they’re gonna pay for that falseness, that fakeness.
Transparent, Honorable and Ethical
What I like to do and who I like to work with and how it takes care of me and makes me feel good is working with authoritative, authentic individuals that have had a problem with many of these fake people that are standing out. Whether they’ve used AI, whether they’re cheating, whether it’s an element that is not what they should be really ethically doing, whether it’s an element that they wouldn’t transparently share. I want to work with those individuals that are prepared to be transparent, honorable, ethical at all times. And that the methods that we use are something where somebody says, okay, how did you do this? Proud to tell you.
AI Books and Paid Awards
There are a lot of people that wrote the books, but it was AI that wrote the books, and they’re not giving any kind of AI disclosure. Oh, I’m so blessed to get this award. Oh, you mean the award that you paid for? That you nominated yourself and spent a couple hundred dollars to win? Oh, I’m just so honored to be recognized for that. You paid for that. Many of those people, they paid for that recognition. It’s flat out false. And in that, it’s not true.
Standing Out Above the Fake Noise
And I think that we are coming into a time. I believe that we’re coming into a time. I hope we’re coming into a time where much of this is going to be revealed. And as opposed to the appearance, to those that have genuine authority, here’s how, or here are some steps, and here are some ways to stand out. Here’s some ways to showcase honor. Here’s some ways to showcase and amplify truth. Here’s some ways inside of communications and optics to truly stand up, stand out, and amplify above so much of the fake noise. And in doing so, I believe it gives you a much better platform to build on, to connect with, and to showcase yourself in a sea of people that are claiming the same thing.
Not Making Claims
This also goes into the idea of not making claims. Not saying the hype of what people want to hear. If you truly are an expert, if you truly are an authority and you’re looking to connect with certain people, you’re gonna have to tell people things they don’t want to hear always. Kind of like this video. And in that, holding those people accountable. I can guarantee you this. I can promise. No, you can’t. And yet, these people do.
Backing Up Your Authority
You can step out and share with the people that you want to work with. If you follow this, I believe this will happen. Here’s the proof. Here’s where I’ve learned it from. Here’s where I back it up. Here’s where I back up my authority. Here’s where I amplify from a rock and not from slippery sand on a slope of using the latest hype, the latest trend, copying the latest buzzwords to get the latest promotion that then falls out from under them.
