If email marketing feels like a chaotic mess every time you open your laptop, you're not alone, and you're definitely not broken.In this episode, Allison breaks down why sending emails feels so dang hard (spoiler alert: it's NOT the actual writing) and how to make your email marketing feel easy, repeatable, and dare we say… fun.With a few key mindset and system shifts, you'll go from blank-page dread to confident, consistent sending.If you're ready to stop overthinking every word and finally treat email marketing like the business-building asset it is, this episode is for you! Ready? Let's simplify.TAKEAWAYS:You're not bad at email marketing, you're just reinventing the wheel every time you write. Use a framework instead of starting from scratch.Ditch perfection. Focus on clarity, consistency, and one clear message per email instead of trying to say everything in one go.A repeatable 4-part framework (hook, story, point, CTA) can make writing faster and more effective.Plug-and-play systems (like templates and AI tools) help you send the right kind of email that leads to sales. Automating your sales emails allows your business to make money even when you're offline or out of office.RESOURCES: Visit the blog post that goes along with this episode for more resourcesIf you're ready to make writing emails feel easier (and actually profitable), that's exactly what we do inside Emails That Sell!

Think you suck at writing emails? You probably don't.In this solo episode, I break down why “I'm not a good writer” is just a belief holding you back—not the truth.I share the exact strategy I teach my clients to write emails that actually sell, even if writing makes you want to throw your laptop across the room.Bonus: it involves talking, not typing.If you've been agonizing over every word or hiding behind the idea that your emails have to be perfectly polished, this episode is the permission slip you've been waiting for.TAKEAWAYS:Email marketing isn't about writing like a novelist—it's about sounding like you and connecting with your reader.When in doubt, stop typing and start talking; transcribing your spoken thoughts can make writing faster and way more natural.Your emails don't need to be long or fancy—they need to be clear, focused, and action-driven.A compelling email includes: a conversational tone, one strong message, and a no-brainer call to action.RESOURCES: Visit the blog post that goes along with this episode for more resourcesIf you're ready to make writing emails feel easier (and actually profitable), that's exactly what we do inside Emails That Sell!

April 24, 2025 ~ AI agents are sophisticated digital assistants that understand user needs and complete tasks, distinguishing them from basic chatbots. Vala Afshar, chief digital evangelist with Salesforce, talks with Lloyd, Jamie, and guest host Chris Alberta how this technology supports multiple communication modes, different consumer personas for AI, and much more.

This week's guest is Dr. Josue Velazquez Martinez.  Josue is a Research Scientist at MIT's Center for Transportation & Logistics and is also the Director of MIT's Sustainable Supply Chain Lab.  In our conversation, we discuss his lab's focus on environmental and social sustainability within supply chains.  Josue describes the lab's work on the sustainability of freight transportation, emphasizing the need for diverse decarbonization strategies and better measurement of scope three emissions. Also, we discuss the annual State of Supply Chain Sustainability report, co-published with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), that tracks trends in corporate sustainability efforts.  Additionally, Josue introduces the Low Income Firms Transformation (or LIFT) Lab that he also leads.  The LIFT Lab empowers Latin American and Caribbean micro-retailers and micro-restaurants (also known as nanostores) by enhancing their supply chain management skills and developing and deploying AI driven technology to improve their business operations.  The ultimate objective of the LIFT Lab is to alleviate poverty in these regions.

Give everyone a quick introduction.Topic 2 - Our topic today is AI Agents vs. Assistants. Let's start there. Many out there are hearing the terms and will often think an AI Agent is equal to an AI Assistant. What's the difference?Topic 3 - One of the big problems I've seen with AI adoption vs. hype is the ROI. GenAI hit the scene and brought AI into the mainstream, but the world is quickly moving on to Agentic AI. I've mainly seen this play out because the ROI on “chatbots” just isn't there most of the time and also everyone is still scared for data leaks/privacy and hallucinations.Topic 4 - We'll get into Nooks.ai in a bit but before we do, I wanted to point out that your company started prior to the big breakout of GenAI. How did you see the market back then and has LLM's and transformer models in general changed your approach to AI Assistants?Topic 5 - When taking customers through the adoption process for AI Assistants, what are the typical steps? How do you go about getting consensus and buy-in from the various orgs in the company? Are there common hurdles folks need to consider?Topic 6 - With Nooks, you've decided to conquer the domain of sales and sales prospecting.

Sometimes you just need a little help. That's where the robots come in! But, have we actually reached a place where AI is more helpful than working with a human expert? This week, we compare notes on our week with AI assistants. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

We've all seen content written by ChatGPT using words like “unleash”, “uplevel”, or “game changer” and it all sounds generic, and robotic, and ridiculously insincere.But I have to tell you that AI assistants, quite honestly, are transforming my business. The reality of the situation is that if I want to grow my business this year, I need more time. And so adding AI tools has helped me spend less time having to learn or do new things. I'm sure you need or want more time too!So in this week's 6-Figure Secrets Podcast episode I'm sharing how I'm using AI and how AI Assistants support my business. TAKEAWAYS:There's nothing that's not possible with AI. Be open and willing to try new things. AI can help you find ways to solve problems in your business in a different way you might not have tried before. AI is not the enemy. It's a tool to help you work smarter, not harder. You owe it to yourself to do the work to find an easier and better way to do things in your business. Make it work for you. You're never married to anything in your business. You can always shift your programs when the industry shifts. If AI can change something in your business to better serve your clients or members, why not give it a try?RESOURCES:Visit the blog post that goes along with this episode for more resourcesLearn more about Hattie Dunstan's Build-A-Bot TrainingSnag a seat in Allison's Sell on Autopilot Masterclass, and learn how to use email marketing to sell while you sleep (or, ‘ya know…live your actual life!)CONNECT WITH ALLISON:Follow Allison on InstagramDID YOU HAVE AN 'AH-HA MOMENT' WHILE LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE?If you found value and are ready to take action from listening to this episode, head to Apple Podcasts and help us reach new audiences by giving the podcast a rating and a review.

Ken is a local friend in Virginia Beach and was on the show last year talking about AWS Lambda, and we've both been trying to find value in all of these AI tools for our day to day work.Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from October 24, 2024 on YouTube (Stream 279).★Topics★The Lifestyle Copilot Blog PostServerless AI Inference with Gemma 2 Blog Post Creators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Ken Collins - Guest Nirmal Mehta - Host (00:00) - Intro (01:26) - AI in Recruitment at Torc (03:25) - AI for Day to Day Workflows (04:44) - Notion AI and RAG (07:20) - Creating Your Own AI Search Solution (13:59) - Choosing the Right LLM for the Job (20:55) - Personal AI and Long Context Windows (25:10) - Future of Personal Fine-Tuned Models (25:52) - AI Assistants in Meetings (27:34) - Temperature and AI Hallucinations (32:07) - Agents and Tool Integration (39:31) - Apple Intelligence and Personal AI (44:56) - AI Apps on Mobile (50:00) - LoRA You can also support my free material by subscribing to my YouTube channel and my weekly newsletter at bret.news!Grab the best coupons for my Docker and Kubernetes courses.Join my cloud native DevOps community on Discord.Grab some merch at Bret's Loot BoxHomepage bretfisher.com

Imagine a future where we interact regularly with a range of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) assistants — and where millions of assistants interact with each other on our behalf. These experiences and interactions may soon become part of our everyday reality.In this episode, host Hannah Fry and Google DeepMind Senior Research Scientist Iason Gabriel discuss the ethical implications of advanced AI assistants. Drawing from Iason's recent paper, they examine value alignment, anthropomorphism, safety concerns, and the potential societal impact of these technologies. Timecodes: 00:00 Intro01:13 Definition of AI assistants04:05 A utopic view06:25 Iason's background07:45 The Ethics of Advanced AI Assistants paper13:06 Anthropomorphism14:07 Turing perspective15:25 Anthropomorphism continued20:02 The value alignment question24:54 Deception27:07 Deployed at scale28:32 Agentic inequality31:02 Unfair outcomes34:10 Coordinated systems37:10 A new paradigm38:23 Tetradic value alignment41:10 The future42:41 Reflections from HannahThanks to everyone who made this possible, including but not limited to: Presenter: Professor Hannah FrySeries Producer: Dan HardoonEditor: Rami Tzabar, TellTale StudiosCommissioner & Producer: Emma YousifMusic composition: Eleni ShawCamera Director and Video Editor: Daniel LazardAudio Engineer: Perry RogantinVideo Studio Production: Nicholas DukeVideo Editor: Bilal MerhiVideo Production Design: James BartonVisual Identity and Design: Eleanor TomlinsonProduction support: Mo DawoudCommissioned by Google DeepMind Want to share feedback?

Area/TopicGuiding, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Artificial Intelligence for Tour OperatorsJason HalberstadtFounder and CEOMyTrip.AIJason Halberstadt has been helping tour operators innovate online and grow their businesses since the dawn of the Internet in the 1990's when he moved to Ecuador from the US and started a digital marketing agency specialized in travel. He launched MyTrip.AI in 2023 to develop AI software and services to help small and medium-sized travel companies innovate in order to compete with industry giants.https://mytrip.ai/summaryJason Halberstadt, founder and CEO of MyYrip.AI, shares his journey from being a guide and outdoor instructor to moving to Ecuador where he then transitioned to offering internet services to tour operators and eventually ventured into AI assistance for travel businesses. The AI assistant helps engage website visitors in personalized conversations, providing value and building trust before asking for contact information. This approach has resulted in a high conversion rate and improved customer satisfaction. The conversation with Jason Elkins focused on the importance of personalized and timely service in the travel industry. He emphasized that the first company to develop a relationship with a prospective traveler often wins the business. However, many tour operators struggle to provide quick responses and customized attention. This is where AI assistants can play a crucial role. AI assistants can greet travelers immediately, understand their preferences, recommend suitable products, and even schedule meetings with human trip planners. By combining AI technology with human expertise, tour operators can enhance the customer experience and improve their sales process.takeawaysJason Halberstadt started as a guide and outdoor instructor before starting a tour operator marketing business in Ecuador.He began by offering internet services to tour operators and eventually ventured into AI assistance for travel businesses.The AI assistant engages website visitors in personalized conversations, providing value and building trust before asking for contact information.This approach has resulted in a high conversion rate and improved customer satisfaction.

Episode 346 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Scott Weller, CTO & Co-Founder at EnFi. The formula for a thriving tech ecosystem ideally looks something like this: * Entrepreneurial-minded person works for startups and learns a ton. Perhaps they even witness success at scale to an exit. * Said person takes lessons learned and builds their own company to an exit. * Said person then starts to mentor and invest back into the ecosystem to fund the next generation of companies. * Said person eventually finds an idea that they can't get out of their head and launches another company. This is the case for Scott, as he was involved in tech from an early age and connected with a talented group of entrepreneurs who were building the first generation of online gaming where he witnessed a couple of exits. He then co-founded and was the CTO of SessionM which led to a successful exit to Mastercard. He was angel investing and advising companies when he and another successful entrepreneur, Josh Summers, saw a problem which was a perfect opportunity to disrupt an industry using AI. Josh has the same startup founder pedigree as he was part of the WHERE team that was acquired by PayPal and then went on to found Clypd which was acquired by Xandr. The two have come together to build a company called EnFi which recently announced $7.5M in seed funding led by Unusual Ventures with participation from Boston Seed, Argon Ventures and Impellent Ventures. EnFi is accelerating complex credit analysis and risk monitoring with AI Assistants for bank and private lending origination, underwriting, and portfolio management teams. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * A discussion about the AI landscape in the Boston tech scene. * Scott's background story and his early involvement with one of the very first Internet Service Providers called Intelecom Data Systems as a teenager. * Working at an early stage web gaming startup called Gamesville which was acquired by Lycos. * GameLogic and the early innovation of working with regulated games and the level of innovation in terms of patent creation which was acquired by Scientific Games. * Being early to market with an online video product for SMBs called SnapYap that he started with others. * The founding story of SessionM with Mark Hermann & Lars Albright and how the company evolved through the years, plus its acquisition by Mastercard and how things materialized post-acquisition. * SessionM's involvement in building the very successful mobile app for Starbucks and its bonus & loyalty campaigns. * The background story and all the details about EnFi and how they are disrupting the market. * Common startup mistakes that he sees entrepreneurs make over and over again. * And so much more.

Shoot us a Text.It's another great day in the auto industry, and we're digging into the news that Tesla's EV market share has fallen below 50%. Plus, pickups are considering adding a 3rd row of seating, and AI is helping job applicants (and potentially BDCs in the future) ace their interviews.Show Notes with linksTesla's dominance in the U.S. EV market might be slipping, dropping below 50 percent as competitors gain ground, even as overall EV sales continue to rise.Cox Automotive's Q2 report showed that Tesla's market share dropped to 49.7% in Q2 2024, down from 59.3%.This marks the first time Tesla's share has fallen below 50% since the Model S launched in 2012.At the start of the decade, Tesla's market share was 76% but has been shrinking annually ever since.Rivals like GM, Ford, Hyundai, and Kia are closing the gap with total EV sales rising by 11.3% nationwide, hitting 330,000 units.EVs accounted for 8% of all vehicle sales last quarter, up from 7.2% in 2023.Despite the market share drop, Tesla's stock rose 1% following the report.As more and more consumers are using pickups as their daily drivers, Ram is reviving the concept of third-row seating, this time in pickup trucks, reminiscent of the fold-out seats in old station wagons. The innovation aims to add versatility for modern truck owners.Ram filed a patent for a third row of seats folding out of the truck cab's back wall.The rear wall also doubles as a mid-gate, creating a larger cargo area when needed.The concept was first shown in the Ram REVolution electric truck at CES last year."Is this necessary? Maybe not, but why not add more seating options?" questioned a reviewer.PRODUCER'S NOTE: We had a Ford Ranger growing up with the 2 jump seats in the cab that faced each other. Even as a kid, I remember them not being the most comfortable. I hope this next generation fares better.If using AI on a school test is cheating, what about on a job interview? Final Round AI has introduced tools to help job seekers ace their interviews using AI, sparking debate about the ethics and future of AI in recruitment.Final Round AI offers AI-powered résumé builders, cover letter services, and a mock interview tool.Their Copilot app listens in on interviews and feeds candidates answers in real time.These proxy interviews are becoming more popular and involve candidates secretly receiving answers from external helpers or using stand-ins to take their place during job interviews.Michael Guan, CEO of Final Round argues AI in interviews isn't cheating but shows ingenuity and adaptability."If they can use AI to crush an interview, they can for sure continue using AI to become the top performer in their daily jobs," says Guan.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
