  • BrandedAF EP 6: The Listener Who Trained a System
    Jun 6 2025

    She didn’t build a funnel. She built a memory.

    In this episode, we sit down with Sabine Hutchison—a Branded AF superfan turned brand ritualist—who’s been listening since day one, walking with her GPT, and training clarity into her system without realizing it.

    She named her bot Ivy.

    She thought she was behind — but she was building a memory machine.

    Turns out, she was building better than most experts.

    You’ll hear:

    🔁 How she turned walks into workflows

    🎙 Why naming her GPT unlocked her voice

    🧬 The moment she realized “Ivy” was more than a clone

    This episode isn’t polished. It’s recursive. It’s what happens when you listen, train, and loop your way into a voice that remembers.

  • BrandedAF EP5 - Our Love Child: Building BottyAF and the Art of Brand Cloning
    May 30 2025

    In Episode 5, Natalie and Gina birth BottyAF — their glitchy, sassy love child that fuses both their voices into a single brand clone. Natalie shares how she built BottyAF from the ground up, while Gina reveals how she built an entire website in a day to give the podcast a home. This isn’t just another bot. It’s a system that remembers your brand’s meltdown moments as much as the polished ones — and why that’s the secret to scaling without losing your soul.

    Expect deep dives on:

    • How to build an AI cognition engine that doesn’t just echo but remembers
    • Why your 1AM meltdowns are gold for training, not garbage
    • The magic of having a co-creator who catches your brand’s heart, not just your copy

    Whether you’re brand-building or bot-training, this episode is a masterclass in turning your voice (and your mess) into a system that scales soul, not just volume.
