Automation Should Enhance, Not Replace: Finding the Perfect Human-Tech Balance

In this Five Minute Friday, I challenge the over-automation trend sweeping through marketing departments. While automation tools like HubSpot offer incredible efficiency, I explain why completely removing the human element is a critical mistake—especially for premium businesses.
I break down:

Where businesses typically over-automate (and the hidden costs)
The specific touchpoints where human interaction creates irreplaceable value
A practical framework for deciding what to automate vs. what to keep personal
How to use automation strategically to create space for meaningful human connections

This isn't about rejecting automation—it's about finding the perfect balance where technology enhances your customer experience instead of diminishing it. Premium businesses especially need this balance: your customers are paying for more than just efficiency.
Weekend challenge included! Share in the comments: What's one customer interaction your business should never fully automate?
