In this episode of AI Literacy for Entrepreneurs, I sit down with Emily Baillie, founder of Compass Content Marketing and longtime digital marketing strategist turned AI literacy expert.

Emily has been helping businesses navigate digital change for over 15 years. When ChatGPT first launched, she quickly saw the impact AI would have and started teaching AI and marketing workshops - which are now her most requested service.

We dive into:

• Canva’s AI superpowers: from the one-click background remover to magic resize, magic write, and even language translation.

• Where to start if you’re new to AI in Canva (and which tools to skip).

• How Canva makes it easier to create high-quality content quickly, even if you’re not a designer.

• Why iterating and refining AI outputs is the secret to avoiding “AI slop”.

• Creative use cases, from growing email lists with QR codes to recording presentations and sharing with a single link.

• Canva’s free subscription for nonprofits and why more organizations should take advantage of it.

Emily reminds us that AI tools are meant to save time, build confidence, and open doors to creativity - not replace the human touch.
