Send us Fan MailAI is showing up in every corner of the podcasting world, and it's bringing equal parts excitement and anxiety. We wanted an honest conversation about what's real, what's hype, and what actually helps working podcasters ship better work without losing their voice. So we sat down with Jonathan Green, bestselling author of 300+ books, celebrity ghostwriter, affiliate marketer, and host of an AI-focused podcast, to talk about how augmented intelligence fits into a human-first show.We start with Jonathan's origin story, including the moment he got fired during a blizzard and decided he never wanted a boss to hold that much power over his life again. From there we dig into podcast workflow: why recording is the easy part, why post-production steals the most time, and how AI tools can handle tasks like background noise removal, editing, clip generation, scheduling, and even drafting podcast show notes. The key line we keep coming back to: AI should be an accelerant, not a replacement. If the host isn't interesting, no tool can save the show.We also get tactical about podfade, building a show you'd actually listen to, and why guest selection matters more than booking volume. Finally, Jonathan shares a crystal-ball view of podcasting's future, with smaller niche podcasts, deeper engagement, and fewer “bot-filled” interactions across the internet, plus a free master prompt to help creators get better results from tools like ChatGPT without becoming prompt engineers.Subscribe, share this with a creator friend, and leave a review so more podcasters can find the show.

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we look beyond Silicon Valley to explore how AI is transforming food, health, and the future of what we eat with our special guest, Aaditi Tamhankar—a venture capitalist deeply focused on the future of food, health tech, and biology-driven innovation.Aaditi explains why some of the most important breakthroughs in AI are happening outside traditional tech hubs—in labs, farms, kitchens, and clinics. She walks us through how AI is being used to:Design food products faster and smarterPersonalize nutrition at the individual levelExtend healthy lifespan by shifting focus from treatment to preventionDemocratize health knowledge for everyday people, not just elitesWe also dive into the hidden physical cost of AI—its demand for electricity, water, and infrastructure—and how that connects to larger shifts like the resurgence of nuclear power.From barcode-scanning food apps to microbiome analysis, smart toilets, and AI-powered health screenings via your smartphone camera, Aaditi paints a picture of a world where health data becomes more objective, accessible, and actionable for everyone—especially in developing countries where smartphones are far more common than laptops.Notable Quotes:“Over the next 20 minutes I'm gonna show you why some of the most important breakthroughs in AI are happening outside of Silicon Valley.” – Aaditi Tamhankar“We live in this world with conflicting information, disinformation, and information from dubious sources… consumers are very confused right now.” – Aaditi Tamhankar“What might change your life? Understanding the microbiome.” – Aaditi Tamhankar“Right now we're in this time where it's big food against big pharma. You have two Goliaths battling it out.” – Aaditi Tamhankar“One in eight Americans has already been on a GLP‑1. These drugs have only really been used for weight loss for a couple of years—that's insane.” – Aaditi Tamhankar“We think AI is this digital thing that has no impact on the world, but it uses massive amounts of power, electricity, space, and water.” – Jonathan Green“If you don't eat a lot of sweet stuff, your definition of sweet really shifts. A strawberry can become a 10 out of 10 sweet.” – Jonathan GreenConnect with Aaditi Tamhankar:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaditi-tamhankar/TikTok: Nine to ThriveEmail: aaditi@bluesteinventures.comAaditi shares where she's investing in the future of food and health, and invites founders and innovators in the space to reach out, share what they're building, and explore how AI can unlock the next generation of food and health breakthroughs.If you're curious about AI, nutrition, longevity, and the real-world impact of emerging tech on everyday lives, you won't want to miss this episode.Connect with Jonathan Green The Bestseller: ChatGPT Profits Free Gift: The Master Prompt for ChatGPT Free Book on Amazon: Fire Your Boss Podcast Website: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/ Subscribe, Rate, and Review: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/itunes Video Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtificialIntelligencePodcast

It's a bittersweet episode of Fantastic Fights as we bid farewell to Jonathan Green whose series of late Fighting Fantasy books have been a real high point for the series as a whole. Can he bow out strong with Night of the Necromancer? Listen along to find out.

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we dive into the powerful intersection of AI and lean operations with our special guest, Chad Bareither, founder of Bareither Group and expert in operational excellence, continuous improvement, and lean thinking.Chad brings a grounded, real-world perspective from years of working with manufacturing and utility companies. Together, he and Jonathan unpack a critical question for modern businesses:Is AI actually making you more efficient—or are you just doing the wrong things faster?They explore how easy access to AI tools can tempt leaders into “more, more, more”: more posts, more tools, more projects, more data. But without clear goals and a solid process, AI becomes an accelerant for chaos instead of a driver of meaningful results.Chad explains how applying lean principles—clarity of purpose, focus on value, and disciplined measurement—can help business owners deploy AI intentionally, not emotionally. Instead of throwing AI at every problem, he shows how to treat AI like a team member: define its role, set expectations, and measure outcomes.From manufacturing lines and data lakes to social media strategies and boutique consulting practices, this episode is a masterclass in doing less, better—and making sure AI serves your business instead of overwhelming it.Notable Quotes:"There's nothing more wasteful than doing efficiently what should not be done at all." – [Paraphrasing Peter Drucker, cited by Chad Bareither]"AI is just an accelerant. If you have a bad process, you're just going to do it faster." – [Jonathan Green]"I like to think about any type of AI solution you're putting in as a team member. What is the role of that team member, and how will I measure whether or not it's being successful?" – [Chad Bareither]"You have a presence, but you don't have a following." – [Chad Bareither]"The more viral something is, the less likely it is to appeal to your ideal customer." – [Jonathan Green]"What's really going to eliminate your business is not AI in itself. It's bad scoping and weak process." – [Chad Bareither]"We're keeping people busy generating AI that's generating a bunch of stuff—and this ‘more' is now just amplified." – [Chad Bareither]Connect with Chad Bareither:Website: https://www.bareithergroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadbareither/Chad and Jonathan reveal how less but better thinking, combined with smart AI deployment, can help small and medium-sized businesses avoid costly mistakes, stay focused on what matters, and build operations that scale sustainably.If you're interested in how AI can support lean, focused, and truly effective business operations, this episode is a must-listen!Connect with Jonathan Green The Bestseller: ChatGPT Profits Free Gift: The Master Prompt for ChatGPT Free Book on Amazon: Fire Your Boss Podcast Website: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/ Subscribe, Rate, and Review: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/itunes Video Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtificialIntelligencePodcast

Jonathan specializes in helping small and medium sized business owners successfully exit, and he brings a rare combination of big firm valuation expertise (KPMG, Facebook, tech valuations) and hands-on experience with traditional, Main Street businesses.Notable Quotes:“I think it's a historical moment where trillions of dollars are expected to transfer over the next two decades.

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we dive into how AI is reshaping the world of website building and small business marketing with our special guest, Pedro Sostre, a seasoned digital marketer and key leader at Builderall.He and Jonathan break down why so many “AI website builders” fail, what business owners actually need, and how to future‑proof your skills in an AI‑driven market.They explore the growing gap between what AI tools promise and what they actually deliver, especially for small business owners who are busy, overwhelmed, and not interested in becoming “prompt engineers.” Pedro explains how Builderall is tackling that challenge with pre-built, strategy‑driven funnels and AI‑assisted tools that do the heavy lifting in the background—so business owners can focus on running their business, not wiring together tech.You'll hear them discuss why design alone doesn't sell, how bad AI content is clogging the internet, and why the people who win won't be AI itself—but the humans who learn to use it better and faster than everyone else.Notable Quotes:“Right now people are expecting all sorts of different things, and the reality is they're generally getting junk, even if it looks good.” – [Pedro Sostre]“Whatever you think you have secure job security in today is probably not gonna exist in two years… You should be doing something different in three years.” – [Pedro Sostre]“People do not care which AI they're using. They don't care if the backend is Grok or DeepSeek or ChatGPT. They only care if it works.” – [Jonathan Green]“We're not gonna be replaced by AI. We're gonna be replaced by people who are better at AI than us.” – [Jonathan Green]“Train it to do what you do now, because your job needs to be different in two years.” – [Pedro Sostre]Pedro highlights how Builderall is evolving from “a big toolbox” into a guided, AI‑assisted marketing platform. With their new “builds,” a course creator, agency owner, or realtor can log in, choose their business type, and instantly see which tools to use, in what order, and how they all connect—without needing to touch APIs, Zapier, or complex integrations. It's like having a marketing consultant baked into the software, helping you deploy proven funnels instead of guessing your way through 25 different tools.Connect with Pedro Sostre:Website: https://www.builderall.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/psostre/Pedro shares how Builderall is integrating AI behind the scenes to write copy, build pages, and connect tools for small business owners who don't have time (or desire) to learn complex prompting. Their focus is on making AI simple, contextual, and results‑driven—so users see more leads and sales, not just prettier websites.If you're a small business owner, agency, or creator wondering how to actually use AI to grow your business—without becoming a full‑time tech expert—this episode is a must‑listen!Connect with Jonathan Green The Bestseller: ChatGPT Profits Free Gift: The Master Prompt for ChatGPT Free Book on Amazon: Fire Your Boss Podcast Website: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/ Subscribe, Rate, and Review: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/itunes Video Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtificialIntelligencePodcast

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we delve into the practical application of AI in business with our insightful guest, Amos Schwartzfarb, a seasoned entrepreneur with a knack for methodical business acceleration.Amos shares his perspective on integrating AI into business processes, underscoring a strategic approach over a wholesale AI takeover. He emphasizes the importance of identifying bottlenecks and opportunities within your business before selecting the right AI tools to address those specific needs. By doing so, businesses can avoid the common pitfall of using AI as a one-size-fits-all solution and instead, leverage it to enhance existing processes.Notable Quotes:"AI is still new and nascent enough that it is, people are still forming their opinions and that includes me." - [Amos Schwartzfarb]"When you're passionate about solving the problem, the 'I only work well under pressure' doesn't even exist." - [Amos Schwartzfarb]"AI can fill in that gap. But I'd love to get your perspective on that is like how, before we jump into AI, how can someone identify the parts of their business that they can accelerate, automate, or focus on first before they choose the tool?" - [Jonathan Green]Amos emphasizes that true success lies in focusing on one or two critical aspects of your business at a time, rather than spreading efforts too thin across multiple fronts. He advocates for a disciplined approach to business strategy, akin to the methodology presented in his book, *Levers*, which helps entrepreneurs prioritize and measure impactful actions.Connect with Amos Schwartzfarb:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amosschwartzfarb/Amos introduces his concept of "Vibe Coding," a brainstorming method that allows for quick ideation and evaluation of potential business innovations.
