Jonathan Mast: Creating Authentic Content in the Age of AI

How He Built a 500K+ Strong Community With Authenticity and AI


Introduction

In this episode of Influencer Empires, host Walt Bayliss interviews Jonathan Mast — founder of Whitebeard Strategies and creator of the wildly successful Facebook group AI Prompts for Entrepreneurs, now serving over 500,000 members daily.

Jonathan shares how he went from an accounting background to becoming a global voice in the AI space by focusing on value, authenticity, and practical tools.


From Numbers to Influence: Jonathan’s Backstory

Jonathan didn’t set out to be an influencer. His foundation was business, marketing, and accounting. But when he saw confusion and fear around AI, he stepped into the gap — aiming to educate, simplify, and empower.

Rather than sell hype, he focused on real use cases that helped people work smarter.


Teaching, Content Creation, and Community Building

Jonathan’s daily life revolves around:

  • Teaching live and online

  • Creating content powered by AI

  • Managing a fast-growing team

He uses tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Midjourney to streamline workflows and enhance creative output. But what makes him stand out? His personal connection with his audience.


The Power of AI in Personalized Learning

Jonathan believes AI is revolutionizing education by making personalized learning possible for anyone with a smartphone. His Facebook group has become a hub for entrepreneurs eager to apply AI tools practically — not just conceptually.

He positions AI not as a job killer, but as a skill amplifier.


Authenticity Over Algorithms

While many focus on views and vanity metrics, Jonathan focuses on real value. He shares openly, stays grounded, and isn’t afraid to take unpopular but truthful positions. That authenticity has built a loyal, engaged audience.
