In this latest episode of Women WithAI, host Joanna Shilton welcomes back the always dynamic Joy Dean, EMEA VP of Publisher Partnerships at Optima, founder of The Digital Dean, and a creative entrepreneur who’s helping individuals and companies reimagine their approach to AI, strategy, and scale.
Joy brings radical clarity to a rapidly evolving space, cutting through the noise to offer practical insight into how AI can become a true partner in business, creative practice, and personal productivity. From her background in global ad tech to her wellness retreats and bespoke consultancy, Joy is the definition of a multidimensional leader for the AI age.
In this thoughtful and energising conversation, Joy explains the difference between being a cyborg (toggling between human and machine) and a centaur (seamlessly collaborating with AI), and why this distinction matters if you want to work smarter, not harder.
Whether you’re running a solo business, managing a team, or just trying to stay afloat in the digital noise, this episode is packed with practical inspiration and tools to help you thrive.
Key Takeaways

- Using AI to scale solo ventures: How creative entrepreneurs can harness AI to replace repetitive tasks, sense-check decisions, and organise their workflows.

- Custom GPTs and creative automation: How Joy builds personal GPTs and agents that work with her tone, goals, and workflows, plus the tools she recommends.
- Ethical engagement and data hygiene: Joy shares her golden rules for protecting privacy, respecting copyright, and using AI responsibly.
- Wellness, identity and AI integration: From yoga and retreat planning to ad tech strategy, Joy’s holistic use of AI brings creativity and clarity to every corner of her life.
- Start before you’re ready: You don’t need to be an expert to begin. Joy’s approach is hands-on, humble, and deeply human, perfect for anyone learning as they go.
