IP is required to scale your business

When you own and control your intellectual property, you can:

✓ Eliminate the earnings cap by creating new revenue streams that are independent of you and your time.

Increase profit by developing systems and templates that increase efficiency and decrease the cost of delivery.

✓ Stabilize cash flow by adding recurring revenue options.

✓ Capture new clients that would otherwise not be able to afford your custom services.

✓ Grow your authority.

✓ Magnify your impact by creating and reaching new audiences.

In the Age of AI, Owning Your Ideas Is an Act of Resistance

In a world where algorithms can remix your work in seconds and AI tools churn out content that sounds like you—but isn’t—owning your ideas has become an act of resistance. 

In this provocative presentation, Harvard-trained intellectual property lawyer and AI legal strategist Erin Austin issues a wake-up call to experts, creators, and consultants: If you don’t proactively claim and protect your ideas, someone—or something—else will.

With powerful legal insights, Erin explores how AI is disrupting authorship, diminishing value, and blurring the boundaries of ownership. She makes the case that asserting your IP rights isn’t just smart business—it’s a refusal to be erased, diluted, or replaced.
