[EP14] “Personal Brands, Pros & Cons of A.I. & Life as an Autism Father”

In Episode 14 I have a conversation with Mark de Grasse. I first reached out to Mark to discuss A.I. which is a space he works in professionally. We quickly found out we had something in common with having a child with autism. I was blessed to have the opportunity to guest on Mark’s podcast, Dads in Autismland (linked below).
Mark has spent 20+ years building brands & businesses and in this episode we talk about personal branding and why its so important by building a personal brand for yourself and your children.
In 2025 and beyond, protecting your personal image and brand can really set you up for success. Transition into entrepreneurship, changing careers, ensuring an authentic self is on display but also something I never even considered until talking to Mark was cyber security. In the age of A.I. your lack of online presence can potentially be highjacked and ensuring everyone is aware of who are you genuinely, can curb any potential security threat in the future. Mark gives some step by step beginner guidance into how to get started.
We also discuss A.I. Its not secret my distaste for A.I. but Mark brings a refreshing perspective, even though he is in that world professionally, he explains the evolution of A.I. and how it can be used in your day to day to clean up some of the mundane tasks, goals or ideas you may have but these some things might be preventing you from getting started. Again, Mark brings some beginner steps and “how to” get started tips and tricks. 
Lastly, we touch on being fathers of children with autism. This is very personal to me and I appreciated Marks journey and perspective so much.
This episode is full of actionable steps that will help you immensely. 
I hope you enjoy this episode, its a banger!
