Can you believe we're halfway through 2026?I know I've been reflecting on the last 6 months in my business, but also thinking about how much has shifted in the online space in a very short amount of time. I don't think there's been a start to the year quite like this in my 7 years of business. And who knows what's in store for the rest of the year?! But in today's episode of the How I Do Content Podcast, I'm going to share my mid year observations as well as a couple of truth bombs you need to hear if you really want the next 6 months to be fucking epic for yourself and your business.

That thought leader you follow? A virtual assistant in Manila wrote those posts for $4-7 per hour.Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Leader Om Patel trace the industrialized pipeline behind LinkedIn's 'thought leadership' industry; from Filipino Virtual Assistants feeding prompts to ChatGPT, to state actors using the same tactics (and sometime the same tools) for influence operations. By the end, you'll see the whole machine.Listen or Watch as we discuss:• Why 54% of long-form LinkedIn posts are estimated to be AI-generated• The Investigative journalism exposing the $4-$7/hour content mills• How Russian and Chinese influence operations use the same playbook• Why 'human in the loop' and quality didn't jive with the marketing message• The spiral of silence: how fake consensus makes real majorities shut up#LinkedIn #AIContent #MediaLiteracyRest of World, Originality AI, OpenAI, Noelle Newman (Spiral of Silence), Big Tobacco 'Doubt is Our Product' campaign, Knight Institute studyLINKSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arguingagileSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/362QvYORmtZRKAeTAE57v3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agile-podcast/id1568557596INTRO MUSICToronto Is My BeatBy Whitewolf (Source: https://ccmixter.org/files/whitewolf225/60181)CC BY 4.0 DEED (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en)

Making a Scene Presents - The Indie Artist's AI Content Calendar That Actually Leads Somewhere Stop Feeding the Machine for Free Most indie artists do not need more content. That sounds wrong at first, because every platform tells artists the opposite. Instagram wants another reel. TikTok wants another clip. YouTube wants another short. Facebook wants another event post. Spotify wants another canvas, another artist pick, another profile update. The whole internet acts like your career will finally move if you can just post more, faster, louder, and with the right hook in the first three seconds. But that is not a business plan. That is treadmill work. The real problem is not that indie artists are lazy about content. Most working artists are already doing too much. They are writing songs, booking shows, loading gear, recording vocals, editing video, answering messages, chasing payments, shipping shirts, designing flyers, updating websites, pitching playlists, and trying to remember what city they are in next Friday. Then they are told they need to become full-time content creators on top of being full-time musicians. That is how the modern artist gets tricked. The platforms turn every artist into a free media worker, and then rent the attention back to them. http://www.makingascene.org
Welcome back to #SoLeadSaturday. I'm Chibi version of Vaishali Lambe, and today we are talking about **Building My AI Content Agent**.Here is what I am learning while building this in public.The goal is not to automate everything. It is to remove repetitive friction.When you build AI systems for content, productivity, or business workflows, the hardest part is rarely the first demo.The harder part is making the system repeatable, useful, and reliable.That means thinking about folders, prompts, naming conventions, outputs, review steps, and automation flow.Let's break this down into three parts.First, why does this matter now?
True authority is more than just showing up. It's about showing up intentionally and being visible to build real trust and relationships. In this episode, Erik K. Johnson sits down with Andrea Stenberg, journalist, podcaster, and host of the Courage to Be Visible podcast. They dive into the power of video and storytelling for coaches and consultants who want to stand out, cut through AI-generated noise, and become the go-to authority in their niche.

Authentic presence builds trust in a world full of AI clones. - "Borrowed Authority" from Podcast Guests Hosting knowledgeable guests not only brings value to your listeners but positions you as a peer among industry experts and opens doors to high-level relationships. - Storytelling to Stand Out Your audience remembers stories, not facts. Sharing the right personal stories (while keeping private matters private) entertains, teaches, and makes your expertise relatable. - Repurpose & Amplify with Strategy Start with one strong video per month and spin it into a full suite of social, blog, and audio content. Build trust through repetition and consistent messaging. - Don't Wait for the "Perfect" Moment Authority isn't about going viral. Your small audience and first imperfect videos can still land referrals, connections and clients if you show up consistently and authentically.

A daily 5 minute news wrap for English learners and people with disability.
Most people trying to win at SEO are asking the wrong question. How do I get my traffic back? Wrong question. Wrong game. Wrong decade. Steve Wiideman has thirty years in this industry. He's seen every update, every panic, every agency pivot. And he'll tell you something most people charging you monthly retainers will never admit. The traffic isn't coming back. AI overviews are eating clicks before you even show up. Agentic commerce means people are buying inside ChatGPT and YouTube without ever touching your website. Zero-click isn't coming. It's here. It's done. It's the new normal. And most agencies are still selling you 2019 with a new logo. But here's the thing nobody's saying out loud. The fundamentals never broke. The shortcuts did. Content farms. AI-generated blog factories. Link blasters. Agencies who promised more content meant more traffic. Google's March update didn't come out of nowhere. It was a warning that had been building for years. And it landed hard. In this episode, Jaryd sits down with Steve to talk about what's actually happening. Why the businesses winning right now stopped chasing rankings entirely. How one sentence in a Google Maps review took a brand new burger joint to number one in two days. What agentic commerce means for your revenue model. And why single-source dependency on Google is the single biggest risk any online business is carrying right now. They also get into why twenty real brand fans beat an entire link-building team. How to build content in a shrinking-click world. And the mindset shift separating businesses that are growing from the ones watching their dashboards collapse. The agencies lying to you about AI aren't villains. They just don't know what else to sell you. Steve does.
Finding new listeners has never been easier, yet getting discovered can still feel like one of the biggest challenges in podcasting. In this episode, the morning show cast and crew discuss how YouTube has become a major Podcast Discovery Platform, changing the way audiences find and engage with new shows. The conversation covers listener behavior, social media's role in growth, AI-generated content, advertising trends, and why creators need to think beyond traditional podcast apps. Most podcasts don't struggle because there aren't enough listeners. They struggle because those listeners are discovering content in places many creators aren't paying attention to.Episode Highlights:[02:41] Game Talk[06:13] News and Data Roundup[14:19] Business Bite: Beyond CPM Revenue[21:01] Amanda Returns Update[27:08] Shure Microphone Deals[28:51] The AI Podcast Flood[30:24] The Transparency Debate[32:06] Regulation Risks for AI Content[39:56] Netflix and Video Podcasts[47:49] YouTube's Discovery Shift[50:04] Podcast Growth Tactics Breakdown[53:29] Paid Ads and Podcast Websites[01:00:02] Using AI for AnalyticsLinks & Resources:Empowered Podcasting LIVE!

Singapore is investing $48 million to help media companies create local content with AI, Amazon is testing a Hindi version of Alexa+ as it expands its next-generation AI assistant to one of the world's largest language markets, and L'Oréal is bringing virtual makeup try-ons into ChatGPT, signalling a new era of AI-powered shopping experiences. Together, these developments point to a shift in how AI is evolving by becoming more local, more personalised, and more deeply embedded into the way people create, communicate, and consume. On AI & Me: Week in AI, producer Alexandra Parada explores what these stories reveal about the next phase of AI adoption and why relevance may matter just as much as intelligence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Edward Saatchi has been building at the frontier of AI storytelling for a decade—from Oculus Story Studios to Fable (where his AI character Lucy made her own films at Sundance) to his current venture, Amazon-backed Showrunner. Edward's most audacious project proves the point: reconstructing Orson Welles' lost masterpiece, The Magnificent Ambersons (44 minutes destroyed by studio cuts in 1942), using motion-capture actors and AI to seamlessly restore what was erased. The irony is intentional—it's a film about technology destroying beauty, restored by technology. Edward's approach isn't text-to-video slop. It's human performance driving AI synthesis: hire stage actors, capture their performances, use the original cutting continuity as a blueprint, and let AI fill the gaps. The result is cinema-quality work that would cost $100 million traditionally but costs $10 million with AI assistance.In AI XR News This Week:Amazon announces 16,000 layoffs while ramping robotics—replacing humans with machines in warehouses. Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh stores close after years of investment; the self-checkout convenience experiment dies. Snap spins off Spectacles AR glasses into a separate business, signaling lack of cash or confidence. Apple and OpenAI both developing AI wearables to launch in 2027, powered by Gemini and Google AI. Google launches Project Genie, a generative AI model that creates fully interactive 3D game worlds you can navigate and remix in real time. Walkabout Mini Golf lays off half its staff. Atlas V, the acclaimed French VR studio behind Spheres and Battle Scar, pivots to location-based entertainment.

It's remix, interactivity, and personalization at scale—letting audiences co-create with AI while creators get paid. His challenge to the industry: hold yourself to "derivative but better" (can you make a better Simpsons episode than the last 15 seasons?) or "original and good" (something from a non-human intelligence's perspective). Until creators band together to make features and TV shows with commercial value, AI video will remain stuck in the trough of disillusionment.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

Brent is joined by Paige Kosinski, co-founder of Odyssey Entertainment Group, an influencer talent management company that has grown from a boutique operation into a mid-size powerhouse. The conversation covers the evolution of the creator economy, the art of matching talent with brands, and the practical steps aspiring creators need to take to build sustainable careers. Whether you are a merchant looking to leverage influencer marketing or a creator hoping to monetize your platform, this episode delivers real-world guidance from someone who lives and breathes this space every single day.Key TakeawaysConsistency beats follower count. Algorithms reward creators who show up regularly, and brands now prioritize engaged communities over raw follower numbers.Start with one clear focus. Creators should establish expertise in a single area before expanding into lifestyle content. That focus gives audiences a reason to stick around.Brand partnerships drive the bulk of creator revenue. Beyond one-off deals, long-term collaborations with aligned brands create stability for both the creator and the company.AI-generated content can backfire. Audiences are quick to spot avatar-driven or AI-produced material, and brands are even adding contract clauses to limit AI use in creative deliverables.The creator economy welcomes every generation. Gen X influencers are thriving on social platforms, proving that audience-building has no age requirement.Personal branding comes first. Monetization follows naturally when a creator invests in building a genuine, recognizable brand with clear content pillars.Cross-platform presence matters. Successful creators post across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest depending on where their audience lives.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Odyssey Entertainment Group01:53 The Evolution of Influencer Management05:11 Matching Influencers with Brands09:03 The Importance of Community and Niche10:07 Engaging Older Audiences11:11 Navigating Different Platforms12:39 Building a Personal Brand13:31 Public Speaking and Influencer Opportunities14:33 The Role of AI in Content Creation17:21 Getting Started as an Influencer18:55 Closing Thoughts and Promotions ResourcesOdyssey Entertainment Group - https://www.odysseyentertainmentgroup.comErica Ver - PianyandHoney - https://www.instagram.com/pianyandhoneyWall Blush Modern Manor Collection - https://wallblush.com/collections/modern-manor

Oberflächliches Geschwafel statt Expertenwissen: Die Inhalte auf der Plattform stören Nutzer:innen mitunter. Der AI-Slop macht außerdem vor dem Business-Netzwerk keinen Halt. Das merkt auch Britta Behrens. Für die Linkedin-Beraterin ist die Plattform noch immer wichtig, um sich in seiner Branche zu positionieren und neue Karrierechancen zu entdecken. Im Gespräch mit Host Stella-Sophie Wojtczak gibt sie Tipps wie der Aufbau des eigenen, sinnvollen Netzwerks gelingt, was gegen AI-Content zu tun ist und teilt, wann sie selbst Linkedin verlassen würde. _Hinweis: Dieser Podcast wird von einem Sponsor unterstützt.

I'm planning my first-ever trip to Hedonism (Hedo) in Jamaica with Swinkation (a kink/swinger mix) from Oct 10–17, 2026, and sharing my newbie questions about what to expect, packing, nudity, and comfort levels, especially since I'm not a nudist and need downtime as an introvert. I'll be vlogging daily while respecting privacy and consent, interviewing The Accidental Swingers organizers, and leading workshops including my Intrusive Question Game plus proposed sessions like The Psychology of the Orgy Room and Lessons From a Unicorn. I'm also offering a VIP/affiliate booking code (UnicornVIP) with perks, and I may help some attendees as a “fantasy fairy.” I describe Hedo's all-inclusive amenities, “mild or wild” vibe, and a story of someone fulfilling a prom-dress fantasy as sexual healing, and I invite advice from past Hedo guests. 00:00 First Time at Hedonism 00:49 Newbie Questions and Nerves 01:25 Why This Trip Matters 02:21 Workshops and Affiliate Perks 02:59 Intrusive Question Game Magic 04:54 Orgy Room Psychology 06:53 Fantasy Fairy Matchmaking 07:59 Packing Themes and Energy 09:39 Vlogging and Organizer Interviews 10:59 Boundaries Nudity and Comfort 12:58 Dates Pricing and Swinkation 14:35 Privacy Filming and Content Hub 17:42 Hedonism Website Highlights 18:38 Who Should Go and Why 19:25 Prom Dress Healing Story 20:26 Follow Along and Extra Content *description written with the help of AI* Content mentioned in this episode: 1.

In this live coaching episode, I sit down with Evans Wilson of Zenith Creative, who's spent years running his video business as a side hustle alongside a full-time corporate job. We dig into the real reasons he's stuck on pricing and growth, and I walk him through a paid discovery workshop strategy I've used more than 50 times to win bigger clients and build instant trust. We also get into the future of video in an AI world and why storytelling is still your edge. Key Takeaways A paid discovery workshop reframes you from "vendor pitching services" to "strategist worth investing in"—and clients stop ghosting meetings the moment money's on the table. Sell the result and the roadmap, not the meeting itself. Nobody's excited to buy another Zoom call. Apply the workshop fee to a package booked within 60 days to make it an easy yes for newer clients. AI is changing production fast, but storytelling, pacing, and trust are still the things you get hired for. About Evans Wilson Evans Wilson is the founder of Zenith Creative, a video production company he's run for nearly nine years alongside an 18-year corporate career as the solo in-house videographer for a large energy company. With help from his wife and a handful of trusted freelancers, he's built Zenith into a thriving business while quietly living the "double life" so many video creators know well. These days his focus is on growing Zenith, where he primarily serves construction and industrial services companies—though he's always happy to stray from that niche when the right project comes along.

Ebner, founder of Content Workshop, a brand storytelling agency that helps companies blend human creativity with AI-driven marketing systems. David brings a unique background as a classically trained storyteller with a master's degree in creative writing, and he explains how the fundamentals of narrative, character development, dialogue, and emotional connection directly translate into modern brand building.The conversation explores why AI-generated content is creating a “sea of sameness,” how brands lose trust when they waste people's attention, and why storytelling is becoming one of the strongest competitive advantages in an AI-powered world. David breaks down the difference between founder-led content and true brand storytelling, emphasizing that the hero of the story should always be the audience, not the company.Avetis and David also dive into AI adoption, human-in-the-loop workflows, SEO, AEO, GEO, AI Overviews, bot traffic, direct traffic, and how companies can adapt as search behavior rapidly changes. David shares practical ways leaders can protect quality, build brand authority, and use AI without automating mediocrity. The episode closes with thoughtful reflections on leadership, values, emotional connection, hospitality, and making “the lighter decision” when facing difficult choices.TakeawaysAI has made content creation easier, but it has also made most brand content sound generic, predictable, and forgettable.Strong brand storytelling is not about talking more about the company; it is about creating emotional connection and trust with the audience.Founder-led thought leadership works best when it helps the audience solve problems, not when it becomes self-promotional.Leaders should not automate processes with AI until they understand how to do them manually and know what quality looks like.Brand authority still matters in AI search, and backlinks, PR mentions, guest articles, and credible third-party references remain valuable.David's leadership advice is to choose “the lighter decision,” meaning the choice you are least likely to regret long term, even if it carries a cost.Chapters00:00 Why AI Content Is Creating a Sea of Sameness00:49 Introducing David J.

Tom Stein warns that relying too heavily on AI for thought leadership can hurt credibility, as high‑level audiences can easily spot generic, machine‑generated content. He emphasizes the need for human oversight, even as tools from Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and others handle the bulk of content creation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

NYT this morning: McClatchy reporters are withholding bylines in a dispute over AI-generated content. That's a strike. A small one. But it's the first real labor action of the AI content era — and the smallest gesture says the most.A byline isn't credit. It's accountability. The reporters aren't anti-AI. They're refusing to put their signature on output they didn't produce.

In this episode, I'm taking you inside a real BUKKAKE night at Oasis Aqualounge in Toronto. We start outside the club, setting the tone and talking through what this kind of night actually is, what people are there for, and how it works in real life, not just what you think it is. Inside, we hit the women's circle first. This is where everything changes. Boundaries get set, desires get shared, and you start to see how much control you actually have walking into a space like this. From there, it's full immersion. Multiple rooms going, different scenes unfolding, and a mix of energy everywhere. Some people are all in, some are watching, and both are completely valid ways to experience the night. You'll hear a real breakdown from DTF Tanya, who chose to participate. She shares exactly what she asked for, how she set her limits, and what it felt like to get exactly the experience she wanted because she was clear about it. We also talk about the reality of navigating these moments in real time. What happens when someone approaches you and you're not feeling it. How to say no without being an asshole. And why people-pleasing has no place in a room like this. On my side, I slip right back into my “orgy director” role. Coaching, guiding, and helping people have better experiences by actually communicating instead of guessing. And honestly, one of the biggest takeaways? You don't have to participate to have a powerful night. Watching people live out their fantasies, seeing the reactions, the connection, the afterglow, that's an experience on its own. We wrap it all up with real talk on what worked, what surprised us, and how much agency you actually have when you step into a space like this. *description written with the help of AI* Content mentioned in this episode: ***See this vlog with DTF Tanya UNBLURRED only on my fan page Get 50% off a single course of your choice at Level Up with Toronto Unicorn using code: TUPODCAST50 ***** My new digital course website: https://levelupwithtorontounicorn.com/ Sign up for my email newsletters to stay up-to-date on TorontoUnicorn news, events and swinger lifestyle resources: https://torontounicorn.kit.com/torontounicornemails ALL social media links (YouTube, podcasts, fan page, etc): https://linktr.ee/TorontoUnicorn DIRECT link to my explicit TorontoUnicorn fan page: https://OnlyFans.com/TorontoUnicorn
I didn't expect a surf trip on the coast of El Salvador to turn into one of the clearest business lessons I've seen all year, but that's exactly what happened. I'm down here for an AI conference, I extend my stay, and I end up watching a surf instructor teach with total presence. The instructor is also the owner, Alex Naboa, and seeing him operate in his element makes me ask the question that hits every founder sooner or later: did I design my work around where I actually shine?Alex's project is called Surfing Your Fears, and the name isn't a gimmick. He's lived the reality behind it through years of building a life during uncertainty, serving his community, and pushing through fear when it wasn't optional. We talk about how the ocean mirrors your life, why reactions in the water look a lot like reactions in business and family, and how community becomes part of the “lineup” you earn your place in. His story stretches from scraping by with simple jobs to creating programs like free English schools, water projects, and surf therapy that helps people process trauma.Then I switch gears and demonstrate a practical AI workflow: how I take our messy, rambling interview and use NotebookLM as a grounded content engine. I walk through the Sources approach, why “gold in, gold out” actually matters for accuracy, and the kinds of assets you can generate fast: an infographic story arc, graphic-novel style quote boards, slide-style deep dives, reports, and even a founder profile article ready for a website or magazine. If you want a repeatable system for AI content repurposing, podcast marketing assets, and high-stakes communication prep, you'll get it here.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a smarter content workflow, and leave a review with the best asset you'd generate first.Support the show
Speed is not strategy. In this episode of Content Amplified, Amanda Landsaw, CMO at Endeavor B2B (a marketing, media, and intelligence organization with 90+ brands across 16 verticals), explains why pumping out more AI-generated content does not translate into relevance, differentiation, or trust. Amanda argues that "crap input equals crap output" and walks through what it actually takes to use AI well: developing an almost intimate relationship with the model, layering prompts to peel back the onion, and treating point of view as the one thing AI cannot replicate. She also covers how buyer behavior is shifting as people use ChatGPT and Claude as their new search, why personalization is really just relevancy in disguise, and how to train AI on your own talks, papers, and podcasts so it can ghostwrite in your voice without losing the human review layer. If you are wrestling with how to scale content without drowning in noise, this conversation gives you a sharper way to think about the work.About AmandaAmanda Landsaw is the CMO at Endeavor B2B, a marketing, media, and intelligence organization that produces content across 90+ brands in 16 verticals, both for its own properties and for clients.

Riley Brown posted the first TikTok video about ChatGPT the day it launched. It got 20 million views and took him from zero to 200K followers in less than two weeks. Since then, he's built an audience of 1.5 million across platforms, raised $9 million to co-found a vibe-coding startup in San Francisco, and developed a content system so systematic that a single viral video gets reposted across seven accounts every week for the rest of the year. In this episode, Riley shares his philosophy for staying on the edge of any niche, why playing beats structure when it comes to content, how he runs a content operation with two overseas editing agencies and a separate thumbnail designer, and the Twitter strategy — posting viral videos across seven accounts — that tripled his company's revenue in two months. He also makes a strong case for educational screen-share YouTube videos as the single biggest content opportunity right now, and explains why using AI to write your scripts is, in his words, "suicide."

In this episode is me taking you inside a DTF night at Oasis Aqualounge sex club in Toronto (April 21, 2026). We start outside figuring out the vibe, then head into the women's circle where everyone says what they want and what's off limits. Inside, it turns into a mix of meeting guys, reading energy, and seeing what actually feels right in the moment. I talk with “K”, who's new to this, and she breaks down what it's like going from just curious to actually doing it, what overwhelmed her, and how setting clear rules changed everything. I end up back in my orgy director role, helping guide scenes, coaching guys, and making sure the woman in the center is actually getting what she wants. We also hit on the fact that you don't have to participate to enjoy it. Watching is a whole experience on its own. By the end of the night, it's just real talk on what worked, what didn't, and how much control you actually have when you walk into a space like this. *description written with the help of AI* Content mentioned in this episode: 1.

If your AI-generated content sounds polished… but not like you, how much trust are you silently losing every time you hit publish?Let's be honest “good enough” AI content is quietly wrecking your authority. In this episode, Dawn calls out the real issue: it's not the tool, it's the way you're leading it.You'll learn why AI defaults to generic (and why that's dangerous for female founders building credibility), plus the Voice Architecture system, a simple but powerful 3-input framework that transforms your AI output from “meh” to unmistakably you. If you want content that actually converts, connects, and reflects your leadership, this is where to start.Ready to stop sounding like everyone else and actually own your voice in your content?Join the Voice Lab (May 2nd). A live, hands-on session where you'll build your Voice Architecture system in real time (not just talk about it).Key TakeawaysGeneric AI content isn't neutral. It's a credibility leak.If your audience can't feel you, they hesitate. And hesitation kills conversions.AI isn't your assistant. It's a brand new hire.If you don't train it, it defaults to the safest, most forgettable version of your industry.Your bottleneck isn't the tool.

And video content is much harder to fake, replicate, or mass-produce at scale.That's why we're shifting heavily toward video—short form, long form, event clips, and direct investor communication.If you're building a content funnel, raising capital, or growing your platform, I'd strongly recommend focusing 5x more on video than you did just a few years ago.You can always turn video into articles, white papers, and AI training data—but starting with video gives you a real edge.If you want to connect with Richard C.

AI is making content faster—but not necessarily better. In this episode of Right About Now, John Benson joins Ryan Alford to break down what actually makes content convert in the age of AI. From inventing the video sales letter (VSL) to building AI tools that replicate high-converting copy, John shares how persuasion hasn't changed—even as technology has. The real edge isn't automation, it's understanding human values and aligning messaging with what people already believe. They also explore how entrepreneurs should think about AI as a “second brain,” why most AI-generated content fails, and how to use values-driven messaging to attract the right audience—and repel the wrong one. If you're using AI for content, marketing, or growth, this episode will completely change how you think about what actually works. Topics Covered The origin of the video sales letter (VSL) and why it still works Why most AI-generated copy fails to convert The role of human psychology in persuasion “So that you can…” — the most powerful copywriting framework How values-driven messaging attracts better customers AI as a “second brain” for entrepreneurs The future of AI, copywriting, and marketing Connect with Guest — John Benson Website: https://bnsn.ai Free Buyer Profile Tool: https://freebuyerprofile.com YouTube: https://johnbenson.com/youtube Connect with Host — Ryan Alford Website: https://ryanalford.com Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/right-about-now-with-ryan-alford/id1498865831 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanalford
