Dan shared this during a panel at Pebble Beach, and it’s something we’ve been thinking about a lot at Kahn Media.

AI changing the way we work isn’t exactly breaking news. Everyone is talking about it, experimenting with it and figuring out where it fits.

The bigger question is: What are you bringing to the table that AI can’t?

Anyone can type a prompt and get an answer. Anyone can generate a list of ideas, summarize a topic or create a first draft.

The value comes from what happens after that.

Your experience. Your point of view. Knowing an industry well enough to recognize when the obvious answer is the wrong one. Understanding the audience, the history and the context behind a decision.

That’s how you AI-proof your work.

Use the tools. Just make sure the most valuable part of what you’re producing still comes from you.

We’re celebrating our 80th Anniversary today with a party at the plant.

To kick off the 80th anniversary celebration, we wanted to hear from some of the people who have been part of the journey.

We reached out to partners, customers, and friends from across the automotive industry to help us celebrate eight decades of Hellwig with a few special messages.

From our family to everyone who has supported Hellwig over the years, thank you for being part of our story, and for helping us reach 80 years of American manufacturing, innovation and passion for the automotive industry.

You can have all the talent in the world, but that only gets you so far. The people who build long careers are the ones others trust, enjoy working with and want to bring back for the next project.

That was one of the biggest takeaways from our conversation with @larry_chen_foto , and it still holds up years later.

We’re revisiting one of our favorite early episodes of @otsspodcast , and this is one everyone should listen to.

Available to revisit now on all streaming platforms.

Been lagging on a Car Week post, but finally sat down to pick a few of my favorite photos, cars and moments. Nice to run into Adam and Tommy and get them appropriate headwear.

CTR Anniversary by @rufsince1939 . Even if it’s only for 20 minutes, any seat time in a RUF is such a special experience.

Dan and I have been doing Car Week for over a decade together.

The perfect restored 904/060 by @roadscholars1 . Such a neat thing.

Huck and I get to see each other only a couple times a year. ❤️

Inner Gran Turismo kid lost his marbles seeing this GT500 Supra.

The Guntherwerks GWR Evo. NA and ROWDY.

One of the best things on the lawn at Pebble.

The Diablo has aged so well. The GTR especially.

Mandatory photo with one of my best buds.

RUFception with Kevin, Dan and I driving an SCR, CTR and the Rodeo over to The Quail showfield. Ridiculous moment.

Met Ian Poulter at the Pebble Tour. Knew he was a car enthusiast, but the ultimate flex is that sweater.

Josh let me touch the camera. I pan-blurred the shit out of the corkscrew.

The Quail dream team.

Show time at Dawn Patrol with the 904. We had such a blast documenting this car and its owner’s story over the week.

These guys not only make incredible content, but we have a blast working together and spend most of the time laughing.

Mandatory 767B shot.

“The Flying Shingle” a rad looking MG built by Ken Miles.

The Malbon van would be the sickest vehicle for a boys golf trip.

The Maverick at its 5th car week, doing camera car duty on The Quail Rally.

Car Week is always a big one for our team, and The Quail sits right at the center of it.

This year, 10 Kahn Media team members were on the ground across Monterey, supporting The Quail, client launches, events, media, social, and content throughout the week.

A packed week, a great team, and another successful Car Week in the books. 🏁

Before becoming the new President of the @pebblebeachconcours, Vince Finaldi’s love of remarkable cars started in his family’s garage.

Of all the cars he has encountered over the years, one has always stood out: the Lamborghini Miura.

Vince’s dad owned one, and several others passed through the family garage while he was growing up. Years later, Vince found a Miura in Belgium and had the chance to test-drive it alongside legendary Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni.

…Not exactly your average test drive. 😮

You didn't get into this to be a marketer.
Brett on OTSS with Dan Kahn:
"You're a collision shop. Focus on what you do well. Let us do the rest."
Stop trying to be all things to all people.
Run the shop.
We'll run the marketing.
