Betting on Human Writers: Brent Peterson’s Contrarian Move
In this episode of the HabitStack Podcast, host Scott Ward interviews Brent Peterson, CEO of Content Cucumber, president of Content Basis, and host of the Talk Commerce podcast. Brent shares his contrarian bet that human writing will make a comeback after AI decimated the content industry, explaining how he bought Content Cucumber because professionals increasingly value human-created content over AI-generated material. They discuss the advantages of productized services with flat monthly pricing that makes it easy for clients to start without scoping complexity. Brent reveals his new tool that helps writers match client brand voice by analyzing content and scoring how well it aligns. On the leadership side, they discuss business operating systems, quarterly goal setting, and strategy execution rhythms.
