In this episode, Roy sits down with Tyler Henn, founder of Hennhouse Digital Growth Studio, a local SEO agency helping contractors and service businesses get found on Google Maps and now AI platforms. Tyler shares his journey from a UX design degree, to eight years at a car dealership, to a full-commission leap into roofing sales during a Georgia hailstorm, to finally building his own SEO agency from a single free website he offered a friend. They dig deep into how AI search actually works — why ChatGPT and Gemini essentially "Google it for you" when they don't already know an entity, why that makes online content about yourself something you have to actively build rather than wait for, and how easily that process can currently be manipulated. Tyler also breaks down his own podcast production workflow using Riverside and Metricool, his three-stage SEO funnel (using pizza as the running example), why he never lets clients respond to bad reviews, and the surprisingly common myth around using a home address for a Google Business Profile. A genuinely practical, wide-ranging conversation for anyone trying to be found online in 2026.

I bought Pocket because it seemed like the perfect device for me. It could record conversations, create transcripts, and pull out action items and to-do lists. The biggest selling point was the ability to use it with phone calls. Unfortunately, the hardware was not the problem. The app was not accessible enough for me to use the features I needed, so I returned it. That experience highlights a bigger issue I face whenever I consider new technology. A great device can become useless if the app that controls it is inaccessible. I also talk about a very different accessibility experience. When my Mac nearly ran out of storage and became difficult to use, ChatGPT helped me diagnose the problem and work through the fix in Terminal. It was a strong reminder of how valuable AI can be for people who are blind or have low vision. I also share details about the NFB of Pennsylvania scholarship raffle and give an update on Ziggy as he continues recovering after chemotherapy. Top Takeaways Accessibility has to include both the hardware and the software. As a blind consumer, I have to consider accessibility before buying new technology. AI can provide real independence, from describing images to helping solve complicated technology problems. Return policies matter because accessibility problems are not always obvious right away. What You'll Learn Why I returned Pocket. Why taking notes during phone calls can be difficult when using a screen reader. How ChatGPT helped me fix a major storage problem on my Mac. Why I believe AI can be such an important accessibility tool. How the NFB of Pennsylvania scholarship raffle works. How Ziggy is doing after chemotherapy.
Hi Mamas, Have you been hearing everyone talk about ChatGPT but aren't quite sure how to use it? Or maybe you've opened it a few times, stared at the screen, and thought... "What am I even supposed to ask?" If that's you, this episode is for you. Today I'm sharing some of my favorite ways I use ChatGPT almost every single day to save time, reduce stress, and lighten the mental load that so many working moms carry. From writing difficult emails and organizing my never-ending to-do list to planning vacations and helping me navigate unexpected situations (like Michael's sprained ankle while we were preparing for our trip to Spain!), ChatGPT has become one of the most valuable tools in my daily life. And no... it's not about letting AI think for you. It's about using it as your personal assistant to help you think faster, communicate better, and free up more time for the people and moments that matter most. In this episode, I share: How I use ChatGPT as my personal brainstorming partner My favorite way to write work emails, school emails, and difficult conversations How ChatGPT helps reduce decision fatigue Ways to simplify parenting with personalized ideas and solutions How I used ChatGPT to prepare for traveling internationally after my son's severe ankle sprain How to organize your entire week when your brain feels completely overloaded Why asking better questions leads to dramatically better results If you've been curious about AI but didn't know where to start, I hope this episode gives you the confidence to make ChatGPT one of the most helpful tools in your busy mom toolbox. ⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify… your reviews help more amazing moms find the show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jeff Mains sits down with Asaf Katz — founder of LinkedOtter, host of the Risk Takers show, and a veteran of taking a company public on the ASX, building an "Uber for trucks," navigating a cannabis IPO wave, and doing military cybersecurity work — to unpack why traditional cold outreach (LinkedIn DMs, cold email, "just checking in" follow-ups) has stopped working. Asaf's replacement thesis: live, trust-building events beat cold pitching every time. He breaks down the exact methodology his agency used to generate 350+ organic signups for a single LinkedIn event, how to turn event attendees into real sales conversations without pitching, and the three ingredients every successful event needs (a hot topic, an attractive character, and a warm audience). The conversation also dives into the "SaaSpocalypse" — what AI-driven pricing collapse means for subscription businesses — and closes with Asaf's story of building his own live-event platform from scratch using Claude, with zero coding background, in a matter of weeks.Key Takeaways4:45 – Asaf joins the show; quick recap of his background across cybersecurity, edtech, trucking, and cannabis IPOs.9:19 – Why cold outreach dies without proof: "dial your intention" based on what social proof you actually have.12:59 – How ChatGPT-era automation flooded inboxes and killed the effectiveness of even great copywriting.13:36 – Introducing "Growth With Events": running live LinkedIn shows instead of webinars — 350 organic signups, 50% connection-acceptance rate.16:04 – The SaaSpocalypse: why AI-driven price compression is breaking the sales-led SaaS math ($150K deals, $200K AEs, LinkedIn lead costs).17:34 – Why every high-ticket SaaS is really being bought with a human/advisory layer attached — and how outcome-based pricing brings that back.23:13 – The origin story: a failed 13-person webinar that led Asaf to reverse-engineer the 3 components of a guaranteed-to-succeed event.25:09 – Case study: inviting a viral LinkedIn poster as guest speaker → 750 organic signups, dozens of sales calls, zero pitching.28:08 – The "who else should I talk to?" hack for turning post-interview goodwill into warm referrals.31:24 – Building Risk Takers as a personal media platform separate from client work, and the Dream 100 concept applied to LinkedIn audiences.36:15 – Hosting events on your own website (not Zoom) to capture buyer-intent signals like page visits during the show.40:25 – Building his own event platform with Claude from scratch: the new "AI recommends the tool" buying mechanism and what it means for SaaS marketing.44:08 – Where to find Asaf, LinkedOtter, and Risk Takers.Tweetable Quotes"The outreach approach really needs to be a function of how confident you are in your product." — Asaf Katz, 14:08"No one goes on a website... even when people search on LLMs and they ask for market research, they ask to exclude vendor websites." — Asaf Katz, 21:38"Trust doesn't scale through automation. It scales through the room." — Jeff Mains, 46:00"How about I build less, you pay me less, but we're all actually profiting more." — Asaf Katz, 18:59"It's fairly easy to organize. LinkedIn is really good for building that authority." — Asaf Katz, 20:56SaaS Leadership LessonsMatch your ask to your proof. If you don't have case studies or an MVP, don't pitch — ask for feedback, then convert that feedback call into a sales opportunity later.Events beat cold outreach for high-ACV deals. Once your ticket price crosses $5K–$10K/year, live, trust-building events consistently outperform cold DMs and email.Watch the SaaSpocalypse. AI-driven price compression is breaking the sales-led SaaS model — if AEs and lead costs assumed $150K deals, a forced 80% price cut wrecks your go-to-market math.Bring the human element back into your pricing. High-value SaaS is rarely bought as pure software — it's bought with advisory/consultancy attached. Outcome-based pricing formalizes that.Build less, ship what actually drives value. Most features go unused (the Pareto 20%); cutting scope and pricing accordingly can make everyone more profitable.Own your platform and your audience. Don't just rent other people's LinkedIn followings — run events on your own site to capture buyer-intent data and convert borrowed attention into an owned network over time.Guest Resourcesasaf@linkedotter.comhttps://linkedotter.com/ https://asafkatz.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Asaf.Katz1https://www.linkedin.com/in/asafkatzEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains
I have noticed some financial advisors depending way too much on artificial intelligence. They use it for everything: Their emails, their outreach, their social media posts, their blog articles, their ad copy, and, worst of all, their client appreciation notes! Not only does using AI too much cause cognitive atrophy and decline, but it's never going to create as successful marketing as your own noggin. In fact, it reminds me a lot of banner ads: Back in the 90s when banner ads first became a way for marketers to get clicks and make money, they were a reliable income source. The first ever banner ad was published in 1994 and had a 44% click-through rate. But today, the average is an utterly non-existence 0.05% click through rate. And the same exact trend is happening to AI produced content. This episode is your warning to stop using AI generated content immediately. You might not like to hear it, but you need to hear this message if you want your financial advice business to survive. Listen now. Show highlights include: Why I secretly regret creating Pollard AI (2:14) The frightening reality about how I caught AI red-handed making up Bible verses (and why this has more implications than my Bible study) (4:55) How ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude give your clients the wrong answers to their financial struggles (and how to help them avoid getting "got") (7:03) Why I predict AI chatbots will go the way of banner ads (the first banner ad in 1994 received a 44% click-through rate … today? the average is a laughable 0.05%) (8:59) How the human brain learned to completely ignore banner ads (confirmed with eye tracking studies) below the level of conscious thought (12:25) Why your prospects have developed a subconscious filter that allows them to spot AI slop instantly (16:55) How to profit from the "AI Blindness" that's going to pummel every short-sighted financial advice business that uses AI generated content (20:49) Since you listen to this podcast, I want to give you a gift: If you subscribe to the Inner Circle Newsletter, I'll send you a collection of seven "objection busting" and copyright free emails, personally written by me, that you can use right away to begin getting more clients.

Tara Seshan leads product for Codex and ChatGPT Work at OpenAI (alongside previous podcast guest Andrew Ambrosino, who's her engineering manager). Before OpenAI, Tara spent over six years at Stripe, where she joined as one of the first five product managers. She went on to lead product for Watershed, which Time magazine named one of the best inventions of 2022, and she is also a founder and Thiel Fellow. Most personally meaningful to me: Tara is one of the three inaugural Lenny's Newsletter Fellows, a program I ran a couple of years ago to spotlight the most exciting up-and-coming product leaders.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. The shift from “rowing” to “steering,” and why human judgment and ambition will become differentiators as AI takes on execution2. How OpenAI thinks about building for model capabilities two to three months out3. OpenAI's best internal memes, such as “Is this maximally accelerated?” and “Are you mainlining it yet?”4. Why ambition is the new bottleneck for companies, and why elevating others' ambitions is now the key part of the PM job5.

Want your brand to show up in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini?Here's the uncomfortable truth: LLMs don't crawl the web when they answer your questions. They search traditional indexes — ChatGPT leans on Bing, Gemini uses Google, and Claude appears to pull from Brave. So if you're not ranking in those indexes, you're not even in the consideration pool.Dan Petrovic is one of the most respected (and delightfully nerdy) figures in SEO. He runs the Australian agency Dejan and was the top-rated speaker at Ahrefs Evolve in Singapore, where he presented research from asking Gemini one million questions to map how it ranks brands.In this episode, Tim and Dan unpack what it actually takes to show up in AI search — from the mechanics of how LLMs select sources to the practical steps you can take today.You'll learn the difference between grounding, citations, and mentions (and why a linked mention is the holy grail), why Reddit gets rejected over 90% of the time, why there's no such thing as "prompt volume," and how Dan uses on-page optimization in an agentic loop to make models "unable to resist" a client's page.In this episode:(00:00) Intro(00:48) My brand doesn't show up in ChatGPT — what do I do?(04:02) Two ways to get into AI answers: outreach vs. building your own pages(07:11) Is LLMs.txt actually pointless?(09:29) How ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude each use different search indexes(10:42) Universal ranking factors: topical centrality, engagement, and popularity(17:17) Practical example: what Ahrefs Podcast should actually do(19:31) Should you optimize for every search engine, or just Google?(22:59) How is AEO actually different from SEO?(28:03) Can you influence LLM training data?(33:58) Going nerdy: separating quality content from spam with Gzip compression(37:27) On-page optimization in an agentic loop: making models "unable to resist"(42:45) How often do LLMs ground their answers vs. answer from memory?(47:37) Measuring AI visibility: entities, mention share, and citation share(51:44) Why "prompt search volume" doesn't exist — and what to track instead(56:35) How to generate prompts for tracking AI visibilityWhere to find Dan Petrovic:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dejanseoX: @dejanseoWebsite: dejan.aiWhere to find Tim:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timsouloX: @timsouloWebsite: timsoulo.comReferenced:Dejan — dejan.aiBrave Search — search.brave.comAhrefs — ahrefs.com
Ian Silber is the head of product design at OpenAI, where he has led the design of ChatGPT, Codex, and all of OpenAI's product experience for the past three years. Before OpenAI, he was at Artifact, the AI-powered news app built by the founders of Instagram. Prior to that, he spent eight years at Instagram, where he worked on products including Reels. Ian is one of the most consequential designers working in AI today, and he takes us inside how OpenAI designs ChatGPT, Codex, and the future of how we will interact with AI.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why Ian believes this is the best time in history to be a product designer2. Why engineers 10x'd with AI but design teams haven't3. What OpenAI looks for when hiring designers4. “Just do less”: Ian's counterintuitive advice to his designers5. The future of ChatGPT as a super app6.

Your next customer may be asking ChatGPT which app to download, but will your app make the list? AppTweak's CMO Alexandra De Clerck draws on more than eight years in app store marketing to explain how LLMs interpret user intent, combine internal knowledge with live web retrieval, and use “query fan-out” to decide which apps deserve a recommendation. She reveals why app store descriptions have become critical AI discovery assets; how detailed reviews and community conversations help validate an app's positioning; and why smaller apps have a rare opportunity to compete for AI visibility before the market becomes saturated. Questions Alexandra answered in this episode: What's the biggest shift in app store marketing you've seen in the last three years? How are consumers using ChatGPT and other LLMs to discover new apps? How does an LLM decide which apps to recommend for a specific prompt? What is ‘query fan-out', and why does it matter for app marketers? How can marketers determine whether their app is visible in AI-generated recommendations? Why are app store descriptions becoming more important in the age of AI discovery? What helps an app appear among ChatGPT's first sourced recommendations? Why do games receive more citations from Reddit and Wikipedia than other app categories? How can smaller apps compete against brands with larger budgets and more downloads? Can app reviews and developer responses influence how LLMs understand an app? How should marketers measure AI visibility when most app discovery journeys are zero-click? Timestamp: 00:23 – Introducing Alexandra De Clerck and AI app discovery 00:43 – About AppTweak and Alexandra's journey to CMO 02:50 – How app discovery has changed in the past three years 04:06 – How ChatGPT and other LLMs choose which apps to recommend 06:11 – ‘Query fan-out' and how AI interprets complex prompts 07:17 – Why most app marketers do not yet have an AI visibility strategy 09:27 – The first steps marketers should take to improve LLM visibility 09:38 – Why app store listings are such important AI citation sources 11:59 – How apps can reach the first five or six sourced recommendations 13:28 – Why AI discovery works differently for games and non-game apps 15:41 – How smaller apps can outperform larger competitors in AI search 17:25 – Using app reviews and developer responses to reinforce positioning 18:48 – Measuring AI visibility in a mostly zero-click user journey 21:28 – The long-term advantage of investing in AI visibility now 22:56 – Rapid-fire questions with Alexandra 25:30 – Where to connect with Alexandra and learn more about AppTweak Quotes: (6:07) “An important concept to understand in AI search is how AIs actually interpret the prompt.” (9:48) “What we've seen from our research is that actually almost 50% of all citations in ChatGPT are app store listings.” (10:19) “LLMs really look at app store listings to understand what an app is about, who it's for, and what the main use-cases are, so that's the highest leverage opportunity for app marketers getting started with an AI search strategy.” (12:22) “So we see when ChatGPT makes a recommendation [for a mobile app], usually the first five to six answers are sourced. So that means that they actually did a live web retrieval to find information about this. And for where it's not sourced, it actually means that they looked into their internal knowledge base to build the answer. (22:11) “If you start now by optimizing your intent coverage around the web and really helping ChatGPT and other LLMs understand what your app is and what your app is about, build that context into their internal knowledge base as well, then you have an edge up compared to people who are still exploring or discovering or wondering whether or not it's worth it to get started.” Mentioned in this episode: Alexandra De Clerck on LinkedIn Email: alexandra [at] apptweak.com AppTweak AppTweak's Playbook: AI Visibility for Apps & Games

Are you being sold a version of AI that doesn't match your reality? Is the promise of hyper-productivity and instant results starting to feel more like hype than truth?Kathryn pulls back the curtain on her three-plus years of building and experimenting with AI tools, sharing the raw, unfiltered observations that the industry conveniently leaves out. From spending five hours in a brainstorming rabbit hole with Claude and ChatGPT only to walk away with nothing usable, to discovering that creative vision and strategic thinking still can't be outsourced to a large language model, she unpacks the real gap between what's being sold and what's actually happening.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● Why the industry's hyper-productivity messaging around AI doesn't reflect the lived experience of most builders — and how Kathryn lost five hours going back and forth with Claude and ChatGPT while trying to create a single 60-second demo video that never materialized into anything usable.● How ChatGPT and Claude behave in fundamentally different ways that may or may not match your own cognitive style — with ChatGPT spiraling into long-winded justifications without ever producing output, and Claude at least delivering results, even when those results fall frustratingly flat from a creative and design standpoint.● Why your own creative vision, taste, and ability to push back on AI-generated ideas are the most critical skills you can develop right now because without a strong point of view, you risk adopting generic, strategically hollow output that pulls your brand in the wrong direction.● How the growing impatience people feel toward AI tools is spilling over into unrealistic expectations of freelancers and contractors — creating a cultural pressure rooted in the false belief that everything should now be faster, easier, and nearly effortless.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

David Jenyns had 15 people on his team when he realized his business still couldn't function without him. Every client wanted him personally. Every escalation came back to him. He was working long hours and couldn't switch off. When he thought about taking time off to be present for the birth of his first child, it filled him with anxiety rather than excitement. "It was a little bit scary when I realized, hey, if I'm not working, the business isn't working." David is the founder of SYSTEMology, a three-times bestselling author of Authority Content, SYSTEMology, and Systems Champion, and a TEDx speaker. He has built and exited multiple businesses and, in 2016, systemized himself out of Melbourne SEO Services by documenting the business, hiring a CEO, and stepping away from day-to-day operations. He has since personally coached 223 businesses across 48 industries and 27 countries. In this conversation, David and Mark explore why founder dependency is so common in recruitment businesses, why it often gets rewarded in the early stages, and how agency owners can break the cycle. David explains the Critical Client Flow, the knowledgeable worker concept, the Systems Champion role, and why documented processes have become even more valuable in the age of AI. In this episode: Why the traits that help build a recruitment business can eventually limit its growth The Critical Client Flow and how to identify the systems that matter most How to distinguish between the work that requires your expertise and the work that doesn't Why key person dependency creates risk beyond just the founder How to capture the knowledge inside your team's heads before it walks out the door The Systems Champion role and how it drives systemization from within How AI can turn recordings into first-draft process documentation Why businesses with documented processes are getting the most out of AI right now What happened when ChatGPT disrupted a quarter of David's business almost overnight Episode Highlights [2:08] Why David's agency became dependent on him despite having 15 team members [4:15] The catalyst: finding out his wife was pregnant [9:03] Why founder dependency gets rewarded in the early stages [13:16] Systemize everything around the magic [19:58] The Critical Client Flow: where to start [25:32] The knowledgeable worker concept [27:41] The Systems Champion role [38:40] Building a Systems Hub for your intellectual property [47:03] How ChatGPT disrupted David's business overnight [49:06] Why process documentation is now the foundation for AI adoption About David Jenyns David Jenyns is the founder of SYSTEMology and a three-times bestselling author.

Most people don't need another diet.They don't need another cookbook, nutrition app, or complicated meal plan.What they often need is help making a healthy decision in the moment.In this episode, Coach E (Eric Dunston) shares a real-life experience that started with two chicken breasts, a bag of Trader Joe's ready veggies, and one simple goal: create a flavorful, low-sodium meal without spending hours searching for recipes.Instead of turning to Google, he opened ChatGPT.What happened next surprised him.Chat didn't just provide a recipe. It helped him think through ingredients, seasonings, cooking techniques, and healthier alternatives using foods he already had in his kitchen.At that moment, Chat became his Executive Chef.But this episode isn't really about artificial intelligence.It's about making healthy eating easier.It's about removing friction.And it's about using the tools available to make better decisions that support your long-term health.In this episode, Coach E discusses:• Why most people don't need more nutrition information. They need help making decisions when it's time to cook.• How ChatGPT helped transform a few simple ingredients into a healthy, low-sodium meal.• Why meal boredom and decision fatigue often derail healthy eating habits.• How AI can help generate meal ideas, reduce sodium, increase protein, and simplify meal preparation.• A simple challenge you can use the next time you're standing in your kitchen wondering what to make.Coach E's Challenge:The next time you're preparing a meal, take a picture of what's in your refrigerator, pantry, or spice cabinet and ask ChatGPT:“Create a healthy meal using what I already have. Do you have any questions for me first?”You may be surprised by the ideas it gives you.Some of the most important decisions for your health aren't made in the gym.They're made in the kitchen.Learn more about the Better Fitness Program and schedule a discovery call at ericdunston.com.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who wants to make healthy eating a little simpler.

In this episode, I share the newest evolution of my journaling practice and how it has become one of the most powerful tools I have experienced for pattern recognition, blind spot awareness, and personal transformation. I have been an avid journaler for many years. Journaling has always been a place where I process life, faith, emotion, business, relationships, decisions, desires, fears, and whatever else is moving through me. But recently, something has shifted. Using my Plaud Note Pro, I have been recording audio reflections throughout the day while thoughts, emotions, insights, tensions, distractions, and decisions are still fresh. Those reflections are transcribed, and then I bring them into ChatGPT, which has been trained with a great deal of context about who I am, what I value, what I am building, what I am committed to, and where I tend to drift. This has created a new level of conscious awareness throughout my day. I am seeing repeated thoughts, emotional states, moments of avoidance, distractions, aligned actions, misaligned actions, moments of peace, and the voice of my inner narrator with far greater clarity. The most meaningful part is that I am not waiting weeks, months, or years to recognize the patterns that are shaping my life. I am seeing many of them while I am still living them. In this episode, I talk about: Why this current practice feels like a new evolution of journaling for me. How recording reflections throughout the day helps me capture what I might otherwise forget. Why my life was already telling me the truth through my calendar, energy, emotions, body, attention, and repeated patterns. How ChatGPT has become a reflective mirror that helps me notice patterns and blind spots. Why this does not replace coaching, but actually reminds me why coaching and mastermind environments are so powerful. How becoming conscious of my thoughts, emotions, attention, and actions is helping me make cleaner decisions personally and professionally. Why seeing a pattern creates the possibility of making a new choice. The exact tool is not the point. The deeper invitation is to become more conscious of your life while you are living it. Notice your thoughts. Notice your emotions. Notice where your attention goes. Notice what creates peace. Notice what creates drift. Notice what you keep avoiding. Notice what your life keeps trying to show you. Once a pattern becomes visible, a new choice becomes possible. If you are in a season where you would value this kind of reflective space through coaching or a high-trust mastermind environment, I would be glad to hear from you.

Why is AI making brands sound the same, and why are founder stories becoming more important than ever?Kevin Rogers, founder of Copy Chief, spent years building one of the most respected copywriting communities online before stepping away from the business during the rise of AI-generated content.

Forty million people use ChatGPT for health-related questions every day, making it one of the most widely used tools for health information in the world. So what is their team doing to maximize impact and minimize harm? For one, they've brought in hundreds of physicians globally to continuously review outputs and shape how the models respond across different scenarios, literacy levels, and edge cases. Second, they've hired my Rock Health co-founder, Nate Gross, MD, as their VP of Health.In this full-circle episode, I sit down with Nate, who also co-founded Doximity (DOCS) and knows a thing or two about building in digital health. We discuss the astonishing speed of AI progress, how models are trained for safety and accuracy, and what this technological evolution means for every part of the healthcare system.Key topics:How ChatGPT is becoming a 24/7 front door for health questions, and whether it is replacing Dr. Google or starting to compete with the healthcare system itselfHow OpenAI is trying to reduce hallucinations, avoid sycophantic behavior, and build guardrails for sensitive use cases like mental healthOpenAI's goals to “raise the floor, sweep the floor, and raise the ceiling” with new product launches like ChatGPT for Clinicians and GPT-RosalindHow Nate thinks about the AI race and what winning in healthcare actually requiresWhere startups should focus their efforts now that specialized products are launching for clinicians and life sciencesThe single hardest problem in healthcare that AI, according to Nate, probably won't fix anytime soon— About our guest:Dr. Nate Gross is the VP of Health at OpenAI. He previously co-founded Doximity and Rock Health.

Search is changing fast — but the question on every marketing leader's mind isn't just how AI is evolving. It's whether the fundamentals they've built their organic strategy around still hold.Do Google rankings still matter now that ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Mode are reshaping how people search?

We're going to see a huge shift in the metrics we expect from SEO — far less focus on traffic quantity and much more interest in the quality of that traffic."If you're trying to justify your organic strategy to stakeholders, reset your KPIs for the AI era, or simply get clarity on where rankings fit in a world of AI Overviews and ChatGPT — this episode gives you the honest, practical breakdown you need.Follow Charlie Marchant on LinkedIn for the latest in AI Search Optimisation:https://www.linkedin.com/in/charliemarchant/Request a free marketing review: https://exposureninja.com/reviewTry Semrush for FREE:https://thankyouninjas.comGet the show notes:https://exposureninja.com/podcast/dojo-66/Listen to these episodes next:How to Rank in Perplexity AIhttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/349/How AI Is Changing SEO Foreverhttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/348/Traditional SEO in the Age of AI Searchhttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/346/

Most dentists are still focused on Google rankings — but patients are quietly changing how they search. Instead of typing "best dentist near me," they're asking AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and other intelligent assistants to recommend a dentist for them. And here's the hard truth: If your practice isn't visible to AI, you don't exist in those conversations. In this episode, Dr. Len Tau welcomes Eri Georgiev, founder of SoRN AI, a tech-driven growth agency helping businesses — including dental practices — get recommended by large language models like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini. Eri breaks down how AI search works differently from traditional Google search and why dentists need to start thinking beyond rankings and keywords. Instead of showing a list of websites, AI tools now recommend providers — often selecting just one or two practices for a patient to consider. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Len and Eri explore what actually influences AI recommendations, including website structure, authority signals, reviews, online mentions, and even platforms many dentists overlook — like Reddit. Eri explains why AI traffic often converts at a higher rate than Google traffic and how early adopters of AI search optimization can leapfrog larger, more established practices. The episode also dives into practical, actionable strategies dentists can implement now, such as optimizing site structure for AI crawlers, using schema markup, leveraging reviews beyond Google, and positioning themselves as trusted entities online. Erialso shares a forward-looking view of what's coming next — a world where AI assistants may book dental appointments directly for patients. If you care about practice growth, patient acquisition, and staying relevant in a rapidly changing digital landscape, this episode is a must-listen. What You'll Learn Why AI search is quickly becoming a new patient acquisition channel How ChatGPT and other LLMs decide which dentists to recommend The key differences between traditional SEO and AI Search Optimization (AISCO) Why Reddit, reviews, and online authority matter more than ever Simple, practical steps dentists can take now to stay ahead Key Takeaways 01:29 Dentists Who Ignore AI Search Will Fall Behind 03:30 What SoRN AI Does & Why AI Search Matters for Dentists 05:55 Early Adopters, AI Search & Competitive Advantage 09:35 ChatGPT vs Google: How Patients Are Searching Now 11:48 What Is AI Search Optimization (AISCO)? 16:09 SEO vs AI Search: What Dentists Still Need to Do 16:49 Why Reddit Has Massive Influence on AI Recommendations 19:50 Google Reviews vs Reddit Comments: What AI Looks At 24:17 The Future: AI Booking Appointments for Patients 26:37 Technical Wins Dentists Can Implement Right Now 30:40 Lightning Round Q&A with EriGeorgiev 36:55 Special Offer for Raving Patients Listeners — Connect with Eri Founder, SoRN AI
If 2025 taught us anything, it's this: your clients aren't Googling you anymore. They're asking AI about you. And if the machine can't find you, you don't exist. That's why this replay is back, because it became the episode everyone kept messaging me about. In this conversation, we break down the real shift happening right now: search engines are turning into answer engines. And if you don't optimize for that shift, AI will skip you the same way people skip ads. Inside this episode, you'll learn how AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) works and how service providers can use it to get discovered, recommended, and chosen — even if you don't have a tech team, even if SEO always felt like a chore, and even if the internet feels louder than ever. What you'll hear in this episode: ★ Why Google-first SEO is no longer enough, and what actually drives discovery now. ★ How ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Siri pull your information (or fail to). ★ The one mistake that makes service businesses invisible to AI. ★ How to make your brand consistent and repeatable across every platform, the foundation of AEO. ★ Why your Instagram posts now show up on Google and what that means for your content. ★ How to use schema, hidden questions, and metadata to help AI understand your expertise. ★ How to reshape your website, bios, descriptions, and podcast notes so AI recognizes you as the answer. ★ Simple daily actions to train AI tools to find you, summarize you, and recommend you. This is not about hacks. This is about staying discoverable in a world that now gives one answer instead of ten pages of search results.
Most of us walk around convinced we know our weaknesses, but what if the thing that knows you better than anyone (your AI assistant) could tell you what you're actually missing? We asked ChatGPT one brutal question and got answers that hit way too close to home. The uncomfortable truth: we're all playing smaller than we should, carrying more weight than we need to, and missing opportunities hiding in plain sight. In this episode, we test a viral prompt that reveals your blind spots, squandered potential, and the influence you didn't know you had...then process the existential crisis that follows.Key Episode Moments:The prompt that started it all: "Based on what you know about me, what are my blind spots?"Why ChatGPT knows you better than you think (and what that means)Jason gets told he's a Ferrari forcing everyone into a school busThe "super competent leader tax" — when being good at everything becomes the problemJeremy's revelation: treating creative work as a side hustle instead of the main platformImposter syndrome meets AI: "You're already operating at board level, stop asking permission"The technical vs. emotional problem-solving trap most high performers fall intoWhy "playing small" feels safer than taking the big swingChatGPT's productization challenge: you're giving away thousand-dollar consulting for freeThe Taylor Swift wisdom nobody expected: ruin the friendship, take the riskTimestamps:0:00 The prompt that started everything3:40 Jason's live AI assessment begins6:12 "You're a Ferrari and everyone else is in a school bus"9:01 The imposter syndrome AI detected immediately11:45 Why treating every problem as technical backfires14:27 The IP you're not monetizing (and should be)18:30 Jeremy's gut-punch realization about playing small21:35 How ChatGPT knows you better than you think24:36 Why failure beats decades of "what if"27:00 What to do with this uncomfortable informationMORE FROM BROBOTS:Get the Newsletter!Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TiktokSubscribe to BROBOTS on YoutubeJoin our community in the BROBOTS Facebook groupSafety/Disclaimer Note: This episode discusses using AI for self-reflection and personal assessment.

MIT just announced that AI is rotting your brain?! Two world-leading experts break this study down and reveal how AI and ChatGPT could silently shrink your brain, kill creativity, and wreck your memory. Dr Daniel Amen is a renowned psychiatrist, brain health expert, and founder of Amen Clinics, which holds over 270,000 brain scans.
