Handwritten Notes in an AI World: The forgotten strategy that's bringing meaning back to marketing

🎙️When Quiet Gestures Create the Deepest Impact (and Real Connection)

with Amy Daughters | The Art of Value Whispering Podcast (episode 287)

What if one of the most powerful ways to build trust, loyalty, and connection in your business had nothing to do with algorithms, funnels, or content strategies?

And what if you already knew how to do it?

In this episode of The Art of Value Whispering Podcast, I’m joined by author and speaker Amy Daughters, whose work is a beautiful reminder that meaningful connection doesn’t have to be clever or complex. Sometimes, it’s simply human.

We explore how a single handwritten letter sparked a chain reaction that changed Amy’s life, deepened hundreds of relationships, and quietly demonstrated what sincere marketing really looks like in practice.

Amy brings a grounded, deeply human perspective to connection. One that replaces pressure with presence, and performance with sincerity. Rather than asking you to do more, scale faster, or follow the latest tactic, she invites you to slow down and act with intention.

Join me in this episode as we explore how small, thoughtful gestures, like a handwritten note, can quietly strengthen relationships, help your clients feel genuinely seen, and support your business in a way that feels calm, meaningful, and completely aligned.
