Staying Curious: Marketing, AI, and Reinvention with Terry Zelen

In this episode of Snazzy & Sage, Dr. Kerry Szymanski sits down with Terry Zelen, President of Zelen Communications, for a thoughtful conversation about marketing, creativity, and staying curious. Terry reflects on his 35-year journey in the marketing industry and how curiosity, adaptability, and learning through experience have shaped his career.

The discussion explores artificial intelligence in a practical and approachable way. Terry shares why AI is best viewed as a tool that enhances creativity, research, and problem solving rather than replacing human thinking, and why staying engaged with new technology can support growth and reinvention at any stage of life.

Beyond marketing and AI, Terry offers insights on aging, personal style, resilience, and finding joy through meaningful work, creativity, and time outdoors. This episode is a reminder that reinvention does not stop with age and that curiosity remains one of our most powerful assets.
