In this episode, Kary welcomes Andrea Olson, founder of Produce Like a Boss, to explore a critical question for musicians: Do you really have intellectual property—and should you protect it? Together, they unpack what IP means for songwriters and artists, why creative ideas are more valuable than you think, and how protecting your music can increase your influence, impact, and income in the age of AI.

S4 Ep53: Instant IP: Idea Protection at the Speed of Thought

In this episode, we explore why idea protection must happen as fast as idea creation in a world of AI, social media, and constant digital recording. From the meaning of abracadabra (“I create as I speak”) to a new paradigm of protecting ideas the moment they’re imagined, this conversation breaks down the growing risks of IP leakage—and how creators can stay ahead. You’ll learn why traditional patents, trademarks, and copyrights aren’t built for today’s pace, why protecting before promoting is essential, and how emotional connection turns IP into monetizable assets. If you’ve ever said, “I had that idea first,” this episode will change how you think—and act. Create boldly. Protect instantly. Monetize faster.

S4 Ep52: Why Your Intellectual Property Doesn’t Have to Die When You Do

This episode comes with a warning—it might sound morbid, but it’s said with love. What happens to your intellectual property when you’re gone? In this powerful, deeply human conversation, we explore why your IP doesn’t have to die when you do—and why treating it as a real asset matters more than ever. Through a true story of sudden loss, legacy, and redemption, we unpack how IP fits into estate planning, trusts, family wealth, and long-term impact. This isn’t legal advice—it’s a wake-up call. Because influence, income, and impact don’t end at death when your ideas are protected. If you exist, you have IP. The question is: will it be protected, transferred, and stewarded—or lost? Listen in. Your future (and your family’s) may depend on it.

S4 Ep51: USPTO Changes Position on AI as Inventors with IP

In this eye-opening episode, Kary and Katie dive into one of the most urgent questions of our time: What happens to intellectual property when AI becomes the “inventor”? Fresh off recent USPTO updates, they explore how countries are beginning to recognize AI as inventors, the rise of AI-generated personalities in Hollywood, and the very real implications of machines replacing human work. From self-driving car liability to authors battling AI-trained on copyrighted books, this conversation unpacks the legal and ethical challenges shaping the future of creativity, ownership, and innovation. Kary and Katie also reveal how fast AI adoption has accelerated across industries—from pharmaceuticals to universities—and discuss what it truly means to “see IP everywhere” in an AI-driven world.
