In this episode, Jules White is joined by Rebecca Mackay Miller of BLOC + ROSE for a conversation about how to stand out when anyone can generate content at the click of a button. Together they explore why your unique human perspective and lived experience are now the only real way to show you are a genuine expert, rather than someone who simply knows how to use an AI tool.

Rebecca shares how she helps multi-passionate founders become known for one big, ownable idea that connects everything they do, rather than exhausting themselves marketing several different versions of themselves. Jules reflects on how a session with Rebecca was the spark that brought her whole "social media is optional" philosophy together, and the podcast series that grew from it.

They also talk about getting your SEO foundations in place before worrying about whether AI will recommend you, writing in plain language that both people and search engines can understand, why intuition should sit alongside external data, and why being a little contrarian helps you cut through. Rebecca then shares a simple exercise you can try straight away to start uncovering the threads that make your thinking your own.

Key Takeaways:

Why your perspective matters: In a world of AI-generated content, your lived experience and point of view are what help you stand out in search and show genuine expertise.

Commodity vs non-commodity content: Understand the difference between surface-level content anyone could generate and the deeper, first-hand content only you can create.

The one ownable idea: Why becoming known for a single, connecting philosophy is more powerful than marketing multiple versions of yourself.

Plain language wins: Why writing clearly enough for a 12-year-old to understand helps both your readers and the bots crawling your site.

The soft end and sharp end of the stick: How to keep the basics of what you do crystal clear, while building out the richer narratives that give your work depth.

A simple exercise to start: Try the noughts and crosses grid to surface your beliefs and hot takes, then push to the bolder version to find your real thread.

Women and thought leadership: Jules and Rebecca discuss why raising your head above the parapet can feel harder, and why it matters for the generations coming after us.
