Scaling Authenticity in an AI World

John Wechsler on IBJ Media’s Authentic and Agentic

How do we keep people at the center of what we’re building?

That’s the question Spokenote founder and CEO John Wechsler explores in his conversation with Jayson Manship on IBJ Media’s Authentic and Agentic podcast. In the episode, John shares his perspective on how AI should be used to remove friction, not replace human connection, and why authenticity is becoming more important as automation accelerates. From scaling personalized video to knowing when automation belongs (and when it doesn’t), the discussion focuses on building technology that preserves trust, empathy, and intention.

The conversation also touches on John’s entrepreneurial journey, Spokenote’s evolution, and the responsibility leaders have to deploy AI ethically and transparently. If you’re navigating how AI shows up in your business or wrestling with how to scale communication without losing your voice, this episode offers a grounded, human-first perspective worth hearing in full.
