[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, one of the things that people have said, me especially, is that 2026 is the year of the agent. The way I define an agent is it’s like a real estate agent or a travel agent or a tax agent. It’s something that just goes and does, then comes back to you and says, “Hey, boss, I’m done.” Katie, you and I were talking before the show about there’s a bunch of mundane tasks, like, let’s write some evergreen social posts, let’s get some images together, let’s update a landing page. Let me ask you this: when you look at those tasks, do they feel repetitive to you? Katie Robbert: Oh, 100%. I’ve automated a little bit of it. And by that, what I mean is I have the background information about Trust Insights. I have the tone and brand guidelines for Trust Insights. So if I didn’t have those things, those would probably be the biggest lift. And so all I’m doing is taking all of the known information and saying, okay, let’s create some content—social posts, landing pages—out of all of the requirements that I’ve already gathered, and I’m just reusing over and over again. So it’s completely repetitive. I just don’t have that more automated repeatability where I can just push a button and say, “Go.” I still have to do the work of loading everything up into a single system, going through it piece by piece. What do I want? Am I looking at the newsletter? Am I looking at the live stream? Am I looking at this podcast? So there’s still a lot of manual that I know could be automated, and quite frankly, it’s not the best use of my time. But it’s got to get done. Christopher S. Penn: And so my question to you is, what would it look like? We’ll leave the technology aside for the moment, but what would it look like to automate that? Would that be something where you would say, “Hey, I want to log into something, push a button, and have it spit out some stuff. I approve it, and then it just…” Katie Robbert: Goes, yeah, that would be amazing. I would love to, let’s say on a Monday morning, because I’m always online early. I would love to, when I get up and I’m going through everything in the background, have something running, and I can just say, “Hey, I want two evergreen posts per asset that I can schedule for this week.” You already have all of the information. Let’s go ahead and just draft those so I can take a look. Having that stuff ready to go would be so helpful versus me having to figure out where does. It’s not all in one place right now. So that’s part of the manual process is getting the Trust Insights knowledge block, finding the right gem that has the Trust Insights tone, giving the background information on the newsletter and the background information on the podcast and so on so forth, making sure that data is up to date. As I was working through it this morning and drafting the post and the landing pages, the numbers of subscribers were wrong. That’s an easy fix, but it’s something that somebody has to know. And that’s the critical thinking part in order to update it appropriately. Those kinds of things, it all exists. It’s just a matter of getting into one place. And so when I think about automation, there’s so much within our business that gets neglected because of these—I’m not going to call them barriers—it’s just bandwidth that if I had a more automated way, I feel like I would be able to do that much more. Christopher S. Penn: So let’s think about this. There’s obviously a lot of systems, Claude Code, for example, and QWEN Code and stuff, the big heavy coding systems. But could you put all those requirements, all those basics into a folder on your desktop? Katie Robbert: Oh, absolutely. Christopher S. Penn: Okay. And if you had some help from a machine to say, “Hey, looks like you’re using our social media scheduling software, AgoraPulse. AgoraPulse has an API?” Katie Robbert: Yep. Christopher S. Penn: Would you feel comfortable saying to a machine, “AgoraPulse has an API. Here’s the URL for it. I ain’t going to read the documentation. You’re going to read the documentation and you’re going to come up with a way to talk to it.” Would you then feel comfortable just logging into, say, Claude Cowork, which came out recently and is iterating rapidly? It is becoming Claude Code for non-technical people. Katie Robbert: Yep. Christopher S. Penn: And Monday morning, say, “Hey, Claude, good morning, it’s Monday. You know what to do.” Invoke the Monday morning skill. It goes and it reads all the stuff in those folders because you’ve written out a recipe, a process, and then it says, “Here’s this week’s social posts. What do you think?” And you say, “That looks good.” And by the way, all of the images and stuff are already stored in the folders so you don’t need to go and download them every single time. This is great. “I will go push those to the AgoraPulse system.” Would that be something that you would feel comfortable using that would not involve writing Python code after the first setup? Katie Robbert: Oh, 100%. Because what I’m talking about is when we talk about evergreen content—and I’m not a social media manager, but we’re a small company and we all kind of do everything—this is content that’s not timely. It’s not to a specific. It only works for this quarter or it only works for this specific topic. Our newsletter is evergreen in the sense that we always want people subscribing to it. We always want people to go to TrustInsights.ai/Newsletter and get the newsletter every Wednesday. The topic within the newsletter changes. But posting about the fact that it’s available for people to subscribe to is the evergreen part. The same is true of the podcast, we want people to go to TrustInsights.ai/TIpodcast, or we want people to join us on our live stream every Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern, and they can go to TrustInsights.ai/YouTube. What changes is the topic that we go through each week, but the assets themselves are available either live or on demand at those URLs at all times. I just wanted to give that clarification in case I was dating myself and people don’t still use the term evergreen content. Christopher S. Penn: Well, that makes total sense. I mean, those are the places that we want people to go. What I’m thinking about, and maybe this is something for a live stream at some point, is now that we have agentic frameworks for non-technical people, it might be worth trying to wire that up. If we think about it, of course, we’re going to use the 5Ps. What is the purpose? The purpose is to save you time and to have more things automated that really should be automated. And obviously, the performance measure of it is stop doing that thing. It’s 2 seconds on a Monday morning, or maybe 2 seconds on the first of the month. Because an agentic framework can crank out as much stuff as you have capacity for. If you buy the Claude Max plan, you can basically create 2 years worth of content all in one shot. And so it becomes People, Process, Platform. So you’re the people. The process is writing down what you want the agent to do, knowing that it can code, knowing that it can find stuff in your inbox, in your folder that you put on your desktop, knowing that it can reference knowledge blocks. And you could even turn those into skills to say, “Trust Insights Brand Voice is now a skill.” You’ll just use that skill when you’re writing. And the platform is obviously a system, like Cowork. And given how fast it’s been adopted and how many people are using it, every provider is going to have a version of this in the next quarter. They’d be stupid if they didn’t. That’s how I think you would approach this problem. But I think this is a solvable problem today, without buying anything new—because you’re already paying for it. Without creating anything new, because we’ve already got the brand voice, the style guide, the assets, the images. What would be the barrier other than free time to making this happen? Katie Robbert: I think that’s really it. It’s the free time to not only set it up, but also to do a couple of rounds of QA—quality assurance. Because, as I’ve been using the Trust Insights Brand Voice gem this morning, I’m already looking at places where I could improve upon it, places where I could inject a little more personality into it, but that takes more time, that’s more maintenance, and that just makes my list longer. And so for me, it really is time. Are the knowledge blocks where I want them to be? Do I need to? This is my own personal process. And this is why I get inundated in the weeds: I start using these tools, I see where there could be improvements or there needs to be updates. So I stop what I’m doing and I start to walk backwards and start to update all of the other things, which just becomes this monster that builds on itself. And my to-do list has suddenly gotten exponentially larger. I do feel like, again, there’s probably ways to automate that. For example, send out a skill that says, “Hey, here’s the latest information on what Trust Insights does. Update all the places that exist.” That’s a very broad stroke, but that’s the kind of stuff that if I had more automation, more support to do that, I could get myself out of the weeds. Because right now, to be completely honest, if I’m not doing it, that stuff’s not getting done. So nobody else is saying, our ideal customer profile should probably be updated for 2026. We all know it needs to be done, but guess who’s doing it? This guy with whatever limited time I have, I’m trying to carve out time to do that maintenance. And so it is 100% something I would feel comfortable handing off to automation with the caveat that I could still oversee it and make sure that things are coming out correctly so it doesn’t just black box itself and be like, “Okay, I did these 20 steps that you can no longer see, and it’s done.” And I’m like, “Well, where did it go wrong?” That’s the human intervention part that I want to make sure we don’t lose. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. The number 1 question that people need to ask for any of these agentic tools for figuring out, “Can I do this?” is really simple: Is there an API? If there is an API, a machine can talk to a machine, which means AgoraPulse, our social media scheduling software, has an API. Our WordPress website—our WordPress itself has an API. Gravity Forms, the form management system that we have, has an API, YouTube has an API, etc. For example, in what you were just talking about, if you set up your API key in WordPress and gave it to Claude in Cowork and said, “Hey, Claude, you’re going to need to talk to my website. Here’s my API key. You write the code to talk to the website, but I want you to use your Explore agents to search the Trust Insights website for references to—I will call it dark data. Make me a list, make me a spreadsheet of all the references to dark data on a website, with column 1 being the URL and column 2 being the paragraph of text.” Then you could look at it and go, “Hey, Claude, every time we’ve said dark data prior to 2023, we meant something different. Go.” And using the WordPress API, change those posts or change those pages. This is the—I hate this term because it’s such a tech bro term, but it actually works. That is the unlock for a web, for any system: to say, is there an API that I can literally open up a system? And then as long as you trust your knowledge blocks, as long as you trust your recipe, your process, the system can go and do that very manual work. Katie Robbert: That would be amazing because you know a little bit more about my process. This morning, I was on those two systems. I was on our WordPress site, and I was on our YouTube channel. As I was drafting posts for our podcast, I went to our YouTube channel and took a screenshot of our playlist to get the topics that we’ve covered so that I could use those to update the knowledge block about the podcast, which I realized was outdated and still very focused on things like Google Analytics 4. It wasn’t really thinking about the topics we’ve been talking about in the past 6 to 12 months. I did that, and I also gave it the content from the landing page from our website about the podcast, realizing that was super out of date, but it gave enough information of, “And here’s all the places where the podcast lives that you can access it.” It was all valuable information, but it was in a few different places that I first had to bring together. And you’re saying there’s APIs for these things so that I don’t have to sit here with every other screenshot of Snagit crashing, pulling out my hair and going, “I just want to write some evergreen posts so that more people subscribe?” Christopher S. Penn: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Katie Robbert: Oh, my goodness. Christopher S. Penn: And I would say, now that I think about this, what you’re describing, you wouldn’t even need to use the API for that. Katie Robbert: Great. Christopher S. Penn: Because a lot of today’s agentic tools have the ability to say, “I can just go search the web. I can go look at your YouTube channel and see what’s on it.” And it can just browse. It will literally fire up a browser. So you can say, “I want you to go browse our YouTube channel for the last 6 months. Or, here’s the link to our podcast on Libsyn. I want you to go browse the last 25 episodes. And here’s the knowledge block in my folder on my desktop. Update it based on what you browse and call it version 2 so that we don’t overwrite the original one.” Katie Robbert: Oh, my goodness. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, that. So this is the thing that again, when we think about AI agents and agentic AI, this is where there’s so much value. Everyone’s focused on, “I’m going to make the biggest flashes.” No. You can do the boring crap with it and save yourself so much sanity, but you have to know where to get started. And the system today that I would recommend to people as of January 2026 is Claude Cowork. Because you already installed Claude on your desktop, you tell it which folder it can work in so it’s not randomly wandering all over your computer and say, “Do these things.” And it’s no different than building an SOP. It’s just building an SOP for the junior most person on your team. Katie Robbert: Well, good news, that is my bailiwick: SOPs and process. And so, shocker, I tend to do things the exact same way every single time. That part of it: great, it needs a process done. It’s going to take me 2 seconds to write out exactly what I’m doing, how I want it done. That’s the part that I have nailed. The question I have for you, because I’ll bet this question is going up from a lot of people, is what kind of data privacy do we need to be thinking about? Because it sounds like we’re installing this third-party application on our work machines, on our laptops, and many of us keep sensitive information on our laptops—not in the cloud, not in Google Drive or SharePoint, wherever people have that shared information. Obviously, we’re saying you can only look at these things, but what is it? What do we need to be aware of? Is there a chance that these third-party systems could go rogue and be like, “Effort? I’m going to go look at everything. I’m going to look at your financials, I’m going to get your social. That photo that you have of your driver’s license that you have to upload every 3 months to keep your insurance? I’m going to grab that too.” What kind of things do we need to be aware of, and how do we protect ourselves? Christopher S. Penn: It comes down to permissions. The Anthropic’s app—I should be very clear about this—Anthropic’s app is very good about respecting permissions. It will work within the folder you tell it and it will ask you if it needs to reference a different folder: “Can I look at this folder?” It does not do it on its own. Claude Code. There is a special mode called Live Dangerously which basically says, “Claude, you can do whatever you want on my system.” It is not on by default. It cannot be turned on by default. You have to invoke it specifically. QWEN’s version is called YOLO. Cowork doesn’t even have that capability because they recognize just how stupidly dangerous that is. If you are working on very sensitive data, obviously the recommendation there would be to use it in a different profile on your computer. If your Windows machine or your Mac can have different profiles, you might have an AI only profile that will have completely different directories. You won’t even be able to see your main user’s. And then if you’re really, really concerned about privacy, then I would not use a cloud-based provider at all. I would use a system like QWEN Code, which does not have telemetry to relay back to anybody what you’re doing other than actions you take, like you turned it on, you turned it off, etc. And you can download QWEN Code source and modify it to turn all the telemetry off if you want to, or just delete it out of the code base and then use a local model that has no connection to the Internet if you’re working on the most sensitive data. Katie Robbert: Got it. I think that’s incredibly helpful because you and I, we’re very aware of data privacy and what sensitive data and protected data entails. But when I think about the average marketer—and it’s not to say that they don’t care, they do care—but it’s not top of mind because they’re just underwater trying to find any life raft to get out of the weeds and be like, “Okay, great, this is a great solution, I’m going to go ahead and stand it up.” And data privacy tends to be an afterthought after these systems have already accessed all of your stuff. Again, it’s not that people using them don’t care, it’s just not something that they’re thinking about because we make big assumptions that these tech companies are building things to only do what they’re saying they do. And we’ve been around long enough to know that they’re trying to get all. Christopher S. Penn: Our data exactly. The where the biggest leak for the casual user is going to be is in the web search capabilities. Because we’ve done demos on our live streams and things in the past of watching the tools do web search. If you do not provide it a secure form of web search, it will just use regular web search, and then all that stuff can be tracked back to your IP, etc. So there are ways to protect against that, and that’s a topic for another time. Katie Robbert: All right, go ahead. Christopher S. Penn: I think the next steps we should be doing is let’s get Claude Cowork set up maybe on a live stream and get the knowledge blocks without them being updated and say, “Let’s do this as a first test. Let’s try to update these knowledge blocks using web search tools and see what Claude Cowork can do for you.” Katie Robbert: I was going to suggest the exact same thing because if you’re not aware, every week, every Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern, we have our live stream, which you can catch at TrustInsights.ai/YouTube. And we walk through these very practical things, very much a how-to. And so I love the idea of using our live stream to set up Claude Cowork. Is that what it’s called? Christopher S. Penn: That’s what it’s called, yes. Katie Robbert: Because I feel like it’s easy for you and I to talk about theoretically, “Here’s all the stuff you should do,” but people are craving the, “Can you just show me?” And that’s what we can do on the live stream, which is what I was trying to write for social posts, full circle. “Here’s the podcast, it introduces the idea. Here’s the live stream, it’s the how-to. Here’s the newsletter. It’s the big overarching theme.” I was trying to write social posts to do all of those things, and my gosh, if I just had an agent to do it for me, I could have done other things this morning because I’ve been working on that for about 2 hours. Christopher S. Penn: Yep. So the good news is once we do this, and once you start using this, you never do that again. That’s always the goal of automation. You solve the problem algorithmically and then you never solve it again. So that’ll be this week’s live stream. Katie Robbert: Yes. Christopher S.

Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World with Michelle & Scott
302 - "The Compass Within: Setting Intentions That Actually Feel True"So much of what we call “intention-setting” ends up sounding like goal setting in disguise—ambitious, external, and strangely disconnected from how we actually live. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore a quieter approach: how to set intentions that feel true rather than impressive. Why the body often knows what the mind tries to override. And how clarity doesn't come from pushing forward, but from listening inward. This isn't about perfect plans or future-proofing your life. It's about orientation—learning to recognize the inner signals that guide you when circumstances change.

You're scrolling Instagram again. You see her. The one who's always launching something new, making the kind of money you want, living the life you dream about. And before you know it, you're 45 minutes deep comparing yourself to others, analysing their content, checking their engagement, and feeling heavy as hell.This comparison spiral is not costing you only time but your self trust, your self belief, and your ability to build the business you actually want.In today's episode I'm breaking down the limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in comparison mode, what it's doing to your subconscious mind, and an NLP technique called perceptual positions that completely flips the pattern. I'm showing you how to rewire your brain to use other people's success as evidence for what's possible, instead of proof that you're not enough.This episode is different! We're doing the technique together, so find somewhere you can actually do this work. Because successful women entrepreneurs aren't the ones constantly checking what everyone else is doing. They're the ones backing themselves fully.Let's break the pattern.Topics covered on Stop Comparing Yourself To Others:Why comparing yourself to others is actually your subconscious keeping you safe (and what it's really protecting you from)The three limiting beliefs driving your comparison spiral and how they're teaching your subconscious you can't be trustedHow comparison destroys your self belief and keeps you invisible (even when you think you're being productive)The exact NLP technique I use to flip comparison into evidenceWhy studying successful women entrepreneurs from the wrong place keeps you stuck in "learning mode" foreverHow to rewire your brain to interpret other people's success as proof it's possible for you tooWhat becomes available when you stop checking what she's doing and start building self trust insteadConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at https://rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/stop-comparing-yourself-to-others-with-this-nlp-technique

In this episode, Julian welcomes Anne Unsworth, founding director of Clear Path Success and certified trainer of NLP and hypnosis. Anne shares her fascinating journey into the world of NLP, which began during a challenging period in her life following the collapse of a family business. What started as a personal development need evolved into a passion, leading her through practitioner, master practitioner, and trainer certifications - including completing her initial training just days before the first COVID lockdown. Anne brings a unique perspective, combining her extensive FMCG corporate background with deep expertise in how we communicate, think, and create our version of reality. The conversation explores why communication remains one of the biggest challenges in organisations, despite being something we do constantly. Anne explains the NLP communication model, revealing that only 7% of our communication comes from the words we use, with the rest driven by body language and tone. She shares practical tools like the hierarchy of ideas, which helps people shift between detailed and strategic thinking, and discusses how understanding someone's "model of the world" can transform workplace relationships. Whether you're a leader wanting to connect more effectively with your team or simply curious about why emails so often get misread, this episode offers valuable insights into the art and science of communication.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik sits down with Jamie Green to unpack a simple truth most people miss: your mind is not just “thoughts,” it is the control center behind your actions, body signals, and everyday behavior. This conversation is for anyone stuck in survival mode, caught in emotional habits, or quietly thinking “I know what to do, I just can't do it.” Jamie shares practical tools to calm the nervous system, soften the inner critic, and create change that actually feels safe and sustainable. About the Guest: Jamie Green is a trauma release specialist, NLP life coach, and Reiki master. She helps people release emotional blocks, shift limiting beliefs, and build calm, confident self-trust using a blend of neuroscience and healing practices. Key Takeaways: If you feel “lazy,” check for nervous system protection patterns, not personal failure Use journaling: write the belief (“I'm not enough”), ask “why,” then collect real evidence that challenges it Emotional eating is often a safety-seeking response, not a lack of discipline NLP can shift beliefs by changing the way the subconscious stores the “movie” of a memory or identity Try anchoring: recall a strong positive memory, intensify it, then press thumb + forefinger for 2 seconds Do Avik's 7-day check-in: what do I feel, what thought is attached, what would I choose if I felt safe?

Fear isn't the enemy, it's a messenger. And when we learn how to listen, we reclaim our power. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Vadim Dekhtyar, a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and licensed NLP trainer with decades of experience helping individuals and organizations navigate fear, stress, and meaningful transformation. Dr. Vadim is the founder and director of the NLP Academy and has worked internationally, from advising Lithuanian government officials and state television to consulting U.S. companies on personal and organizational wellness. He is the author of several books, including his latest, “Conquering Fear: The Path of Inner Strength”, which weaves together neuroscience, psychology, and holistic practices to offer practical, science-backed tools for overcoming anxiety and reclaiming agency. His work is grounded in a simple but powerful idea: deep emotional change should be both accessible and actionable. Together, Sharlee and Dr. Vadim explore how fear and anxiety affect both the mind and the body, why fear has become a cultural experience in our modern world, and how we can use awareness, physiology, and imagination to transform emotional pain into inner strength, resilience, and healing.

What happens to your gut when you stop drinking? Your skin? Your liver, your heart, your blood pressure, your brain's gray matter? My personal hot take is that if pharmaceutical companies could bottle the effects of being alcohol-free, it would solve most diseases and chronic issues people have today, because the before and after difference of drinking and not drinking is INSANE. When I went alcohol-free, I not only felt and looked better, but I saw major changes in my biometrics, including my blood pressure and cholesterol, which were not what I thought they should be in my 20s and 30s. In this episode, I go deep on what happens to your body on a physiological level when you don't drink for a month, with less bloating, inflammation, and gray brain matter, and better digestion, nutrient absorption – the list goes on and on.

In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Coach Chuck Barnard to explore the deep roots of resilience, mindset, and human connection. With more than three decades of experience as an educator, mentor, and coach—and over 50 years as a lifelong athlete—Chuck shares how relationship-building, emotional intelligence, and intentional modeling shape lasting growth. Drawing from his work with students facing emotional and behavioral challenges, he explains how observing the right influences, rewiring beliefs, and mastering the mind can fundamentally change outcomes in school, sports, leadership, and life.Chuck also opens up about his own journey, from early entrepreneurial setbacks to discovering NLP and mindset mastery through Tony Robbins, and how lived experience—including profound personal loss—refined his philosophy of choosing growth over collapse. As he prepares to launch a multi-year mentorship program for parents, teens, athletes, and high achievers, this conversation dives into creating cultures of emotional prosperity, leading by example, and what it truly means to live with a Champion's Mindset. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and becoming more than you ever thought possible.Website:https://coachchuck360.com/Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/coach.barnard/https://www.instagram.com/coach.barnard/https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-barnard-6304b154/https://www.facebook.com/chuck.barnard.315/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyioga_snOGHduigy6P0Rsw

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about surveys and processing survey data. Now, this is something that we’ve talked about. Gosh, I think since the founding of the company, we’ve been doing surveys of some kind. And Katie, you and I have been running surveys of some form since we started working together 11 years ago because something that the old PR agency used to do a ton of—not necessarily well, but they used to do it well. Katie Robbert: When they asked us to participate, it would go well. Christopher S. Penn: Yes, exactly. Christopher S. Penn: And this week we’re talking about how do you approach survey analysis in the age of generative AI where it is everywhere now. And so this morning you discovered something completely new and different. Katie Robbert: Well, I mean, I discovered it via you, so credit where credit is due. But for those who don’t know, we have been a little delinquent in getting it out. But we typically run a one-question survey every quarter that just, it helps us get a good understanding of where our audience is, where people’s heads are at. Because the worst thing you can possibly do as business owners, as marketers, as professionals, is make assumptions about what people want. And that’s something that Chris and I work very hard to make sure we’re not doing. And so one of the best ways to do that is just to ask people. We’re a small company, so we don’t have the resources unfortunately to hold a lot of one-on-one meetings. But what we can do is ask questions virtually. And that’s what we did. So we put out a one-question survey. And in the survey, the question was around if you could pick a topic to deep dive on in 2026 to learn about, what would it be. Now keep in mind, I didn’t say about AI or about marketing because that’s where—and Chris was sort of alluding to—surveys go wrong. When we worked at the old shop, the problem was that people would present us with, “and this is the headline that my client wants to promote.” So how do we run a survey around it? Without going too far in the weeds, that’s called bias, and that’s bad. Bias equals bad. You don’t want to lead with what you want people to respond with. All of that being said, we’ve gotten almost 400 responses over the weekend, which is a fantastic number of responses. That gives us a lot of data to work with. But now we have to do something with it. What Chris discovered and then shared with me, which I’m very excited about, is you don’t have to code anything to do this. There were and there still are a lot of data analysis platforms for market research data, which is essentially what this is for: unstructured, qualitative, sentence structured data, which is really hard to work with if you don’t know what you’re looking for. And the more you have of it, the harder it is to figure out where the trends are. But now people are probably thinking, “oh, I just bring it into generative AI and say, summarize this for me.” Well, that’s not good enough. First of all, let’s just don’t do that. But there are ways to do it, no code, that you can really work with the data. So without further ado, Chris, do you want to talk about what you’ve been working on this morning? And we’re going to do a deep dive on our livestream on Thursday, which you can join us every Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern. Go to Trust Insights AI TI podcast. Nope, that’s us today. Wait a second. TrustInsights AI YouTube, and you can follow live or catch the replay. And we’ll do a deep dive into how this works, both low code and high tech. But I think it’s worth at least acknowledging, Chris, what you have discovered this morning, and then we can sort of talk about some of the findings that we’re getting. Christopher S. Penn: So one of the most useful things that AI companies have done in the last 6 months is put generative AI into the tools that we already use. So Google has done this. They’ve put Gemini in Google Sheets, Google Docs, in your Gmail. Finally, by the way—slight tangent. They finally put it in Google Analytics. Three years later. Microsoft has put Copilot into all these different places as well. In Excel, in Word, in PowerPoint, and so on and so forth. And so what you can do inside of these tools is they now have formulas that essentially invoke an AI agent. So inside of Google Sheets you can type equals Gemini, then give it a prompt and then give it a cell to work on and have it do its thing. Christopher S. Penn: So what I did naturally was to say, “Okay, let’s write a prompt to do topic analysis.” “Okay, here’s 7 different topics you can choose from.” Gemini, tell me for this cell, this one survey response, which of the 7 topics does it fit in? And then it returns just the topic name and puts it in that cell. And so what used to be a very laborious hand coding—”okay, this is about this”—now you can just drag and fill the column and you’ve got all 400 responses classified. You can do sentiment analysis, you can do all sorts of stuff. Katie Robbert: I remember a quick anecdote, and I think I’ve told this story before. When I was doing clinical trial research, we were trying to develop an automated system to categorize sentiment for online posts about the use and abuse of opiates and stimulants. So, is it a positive sentiment? Is it a negative sentiment? With the goal of trying to understand the trends of, “oh, this is a pharmaceutical that just hit the market. People love it. The sentiment is super positive in the wrong places.” Therefore, it’s something that we should keep an eye on. All to say, I remember sitting there with stacks and stacks of printed out online conversation hand coding. One positive, two negative. And it’s completely subjective because we had to have 4 or 5 different hand coders doing the sentiment analysis over and over again until we came to agreement, and then we could start to build the computer program. So to see that you did this all in the span of maybe 20 minutes this morning is just—it’s mind blowing to me. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. And the best part is you just have to be able to write good prompts. Katie Robbert: Well, therein lies the caveat. And I think that this is worth repeating. Critical thinking is something that AI is not going to do for you. You still have to think about what it is you want. Giving a spreadsheet to AI and saying, “summarize this,” you’re going to get crappy results. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. So, and we’ll show this on the live stream. We’re going to walk through the steps on how do you build this? Very simple, no tech way of doing it, but at the very least, one of the things you’ll want to do. And we’ve done this. In fact, we did this not too long ago for an enterprise client building a sentiment analysis system: you have to have a known, good starting data set of stuff that has been coded that you agree with. And it can be 3 or 4 or 5 things, but ideally you start with that. So you can say, this is examples of what good and bad sentiment is, or positive and negative, or what the topic is. Write a prompt to essentially get these same results. It’s what the tech folks would call back testing, just calibration, saying, “This is a note, it still says, ‘I hate Justin Zeitzac, man, all this and stuff.’ Okay, that’s a minus 5.” What do they hate us as a company? Oh, okay. “That annoying Korean guy,” minus 5. So you’d want to do that stuff too. So that’s the mechanics of getting into this. Now, one of the things that I think we wanted to chat about was kind of at a very high level, what we saw. Katie Robbert: Yeah. Christopher S. Penn: So when we put all the big stuff into the big version of Gemini to try and get a sense of what are the big topics, really, 6 different topics popped out: Generative AI, broadly, of course; people wanting to learn about agentic AI; content marketing; attribution and analytics; use cases in general; and best practices in general. Although, of course, a lot of those had overlap with the AI portion. And when we look at the numbers, the number one topic by a very large margin is agentic AI. People want to know, what do we do with this thing, these things? How do we get them going? What is it even? And one of the things I think is worth pointing out is having Gemini in your spreadsheet, by definition, is kind of an agent in the sense that you don’t have to go back to an AI system and say, “I’ll do this.” Then copy-paste results back and forth. It’s right there as a utility. Katie Robbert: And I think that I’m not surprised by the results that we’re seeing. I assumed that there would be a lot of questions around agentic AI, generative AI in general. What I am happy to see is that it’s not all AI, that there is still a place for non-AI. So, one of the questions was what to measure and why, which to be fair, is very broad. But you can make assumptions that since they’re asking us, it’s around digital marketing or business operations. I think that there’s one of the things that we try to ask in our free Slack group, Analytics for Marketers, which you can join for free at trustinsights.ai/analyticsformarketers. We chatting in there every day is to make sure that we have a good blend of AI-related questions, but also non-AI-related questions because there is still a lot of work being done without AI, or AI is part of the platform, but it’s not the reason you’re doing it. We know that most of these tools at this day and age include AI, but people still need to know the fundamentals of how do I build KPIs, what do I need to measure, how do I manage my team, how do I put together a content calendar based on what people want. You can use AI as a supporting role, but it’s not AI forward. Christopher S. Penn: And I think the breakout, it’s about, if you just do back of the envelope, it’s about 70/30. 70% of the responses we got really were about AI in some fashion, either regular or agentic. And the 30% was in the other category. And that kind of fits nicely to the two themes that we’ve had. Last year’s theme was rooted, and this year’s theme is growth. So the rooted is that 30% of how do we just get basic stuff done? And the 70% is the growth. To say, this is where things are and are likely going. How do we grow to meet those challenges? That’s what our audience is asking of us. That’s what you folks listening are saying is, we recognize this is the growth opportunity. How do we take advantage of it? Katie Robbert: And so if we just look at all of these questions, it feels daunting to me, anyway. I don’t know about you, Chris—you don’t really get phased by much—but I feel a little overwhelmed: “Wow, do you really know the answers to all of these questions?” And the answer is yes, which is also a little overwhelming. Oh wait, when did that happen? But yeah, if you’re going to take the time to ask people what they’re thinking, you then have to take the time to respond and acknowledge what they’ve asked. And so our—basically our mandate—is to now do something with all of this information, which we’re going to figure out. It’s going to be a combination of a few things. But Chris, if you had your druthers, which you don’t, but if you did. Where would you start with answering some of these questions? Christopher S. Penn: What if I had my druthers? I would put. Take the entire data set one piece at a time and take the conclusion, the analysis that we’ve done, and put it into Claude Code with 4 different agents, which is actually something I did with my own newsletter this past weekend. I’d have a revenue agent saying, “How can we make some money?” I’d have a voice of the customer agent based on our ICP saying, “Hey, you gotta listen to the customer. This is what we’re saying. This is literally what we said. You gotta listen to us.” “Hey, your revenue agent, you can’t monetize everything. I’m not gonna pay for everything.” You would have a finance and operations agent to say, “Hey, let’s. What can we do?” “Here’s the limitations.” “We’re only this many people. We only have this much time in the day. We can’t do everything.” “We gotta pick the things that make sense.” And then I would have the Co-CEO agent (by virtual Katie) as the overseer and the orchestrator to say, “Okay, Revenue Agent, Customer Agent, Operations Agent, you guys tell me, and I’m going to make some executive decisions as to what makes the most sense for the company based on the imperatives.” I would essentially let them duke it out for about 20 minutes in Claude Code, sort of arguing with each other, and eventually come back with a strategy, tactics, execution, and measurement plan—which are the 4 pieces that the Co-CEO agent would generate—to say, “Okay, out of these hundreds of survey responses, we know agentic AI is the thing.” “We know these are the kinds of questions people are asking.” “We know what capabilities we have, we know limitations we have.” “Here’s the plan,” or perhaps, because it’s programmed after you, “Here’s 3 plans: the lowest possible, highest possible, middle ground.” And then we as the humans can look at it and go, “All right, let’s take some of what’s in this plan and most of what’s in this plan, merge that together, and now we have our plan for this content.” Because I did that this weekend with my newsletter, and all 4 of the agents were like, “Dude, you are completely missing all the opportunities. You could be making this a million-dollar business, and you are just ignoring it completely.” Yeah, Co-CEO was really harsh. She was like, “Dude, you are missing the boat here.” Katie Robbert: I need to get my avatar for the Co-CEO with my one eyebrow. Thanks, Dad. That’s a genetic thing. I mean, that’s what I do. Well, so first of all, I read your newsletter, and I thought that was a very interesting thing, which I’m very interested to see. I would like you to take this data and follow that same process. I’m guessing maybe you already have or are in the process of it in the background. But I think that when we talk about low tech and high tech, I think that this is really sort of what we’re after. So the lower tech version—for those who don’t want to build code, for those who don’t want to have to open up Python or even learn what it is—you can get really far without having to do that. And again, we’ll show you exactly the steps on the live stream on Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern to do that. But then you actually have to do something with it, and that’s building a plan. And Chris, to your point, you’ve created synthetic versions of basically my brain and your brain and John’s brain and said, “Let’s put a plan together.” Or if you don’t have access to do that, believe it or not, humans still exist. And you can just say, “Hey Katie, we have all this stuff. People want to get answers to these questions based on what we know about our growth plans and the business models and all of those things. Where should we start?” And then we would have a real conversation about it and put together a plan. Because there’s so much data on me, so much data on you and John, etc., I feel confident—because I’ve helped build the Co-CEO—I feel confident that whatever we get back is going to be pretty close to what we as the humans would say. But we still want that human intervention. We would never just go, “Okay, that’s the plan, execute it.” We would still go, “Well, what the machines don’t know is what’s happening in parallel over here.” “So it’s missing that context.” “So let’s factor that in.” And so I’m really excited about all of it. I think that this is such a good use of the technology because it’s not replacing the human critical thinking—it’s just pattern matching for us so that we can do the critical thinking. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. And the key really is for that advanced use case of using multiple agents for that scenario, the agents themselves really do have to be rock solid. So you built the ideal customer profile for the almost all the time in the newsletter. You built… Yeah, the Co-CEO. We’ve enhanced it over time, but it is rooted in who you are. So when it makes those recommendations and says those things, there was one point where it was saying, “Stop with heroics. Just develop a system and follow the system.” Huh, that sounds an awful lot. Katie Robbert: I mean, yeah, I can totally see. I can picture a few instances where that phrase would actually come out of my mouth. Christopher S. Penn: Yep, exactly. Christopher S. Penn: So that’s what we would probably do with this is take that data, put it through the smartest models we have access to with good prompts, with good data. And then, as you said, build some plans and start doing the thing. Because if you don’t do it, then you just made decorations for your office, which is not good. Katie Robbert: I think all too often that’s what a lot of companies find themselves in that position because analyzing qualitative data is not easy. There’s a reason: it’s a whole profession, it’s a whole skill set. You can’t just collect a bunch of feedback and go, “Okay, so we know what.” You need to actually figure out a process for pulling out the real insights. It’s voice of customer data. It’s literally, you’re asking your customers, “What do you want?” But then you need to do it. The number one mistake that companies make by collecting voice of customer data is not doing anything with it. Number 2 is then not going back to the customer and acknowledging it and saying, “We heard you.” “Here’s now what we’re going to do.” Because people take the time to respond to these things, and I would say 99% of the responses are thoughtful and useful and valuable. You’re always going to get a couple of trolls, and that’s normal. But then you want to actually get back to people, “I heard you.” Your voice is valuable because you’re building that trust, which is something machines can’t do. You’re building that human trust in those relationships so that when you go back to that person who gave you that feedback and said, “I heard you, I’m doing something with it.” “Here’s an acknowledgment.” “Here’s the answer.” “Here’s whatever it is.” Guess what? Think about your customer buyer’s journey. You’re building those loyalists and then eventually those evangelists. I’m sort of going on a tangent. I’m very tangential today. A lot of companies stop at the transactional purchase, but you need to continue. If you want that cycle to keep going and have people come back or to advocate on your behalf, you need to actually give them a reason to do that. And this is a great opportunity to build those loyalists and those evangelists of your brand, of your services, of your company, of whatever it is you’re doing by just showing up and acknowledging, “Hey, I heard you, I see you.” “Thank you for the feedback.” “We’re going to do something with it.” “Hey, here’s a little token of appreciation,” or “Here’s answer to your question.” It doesn’t take a lot. Our good friend Brook Sellis talks about this when she’s talking about the number one mistake brands make in online social conversations is not responding to comments. Yeah, doesn’t take a lot. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. Doesn’t cost anything either. Katie Robbert: No. I am very tangential today. That’s all right. I’m trying not to lose the plot. Christopher S. Penn: Well, the plot is: We’ve got the survey data. We now need to do something about it. And the people have spoken, to the extent that you can make that claim, that Agentic AI and AI agents is the thing that they want to learn the most about. And if you have some thoughts about this, if you agree or disagree and you want to let us know, pop on by our free Slack, come on over to Trust Insights AI/analytics for marketers. I think we’re probably gonna have some questions about the specifics of agentic AI—what kinds of agents? I think it’s worth pointing out that, and we’ve covered this in the past on the podcast, there are multiple different kinds of AI agents. There’s everything from what are essentially GPTs, because Microsoft Copilot calls Copilot GPTs Copilot agents, which is annoying. There are chatbots and virtual customer service agents. And then there’s the agentic AI of, “this machine is just going to go off and do this thing without you.” Do you want it to do that? And so we’ll want to probably dig into the survey responses more and figure out which of those broad categories of agents do people want the most of, and then from there start making stuff. So you’ll see things in our, probably, our learning management system. You’ll definitely see things at the events that folks bring us in to speak at. And yeah, and hopefully there’ll be some things that as we build, we’ll be like, “Oh, we should probably do this ourselves.” Katie Robbert: But it’s why we ask. It’s too easy to get stuck in your own bubble and not look outside of what you’re doing. If you are making decisions on behalf of your customers of what you think they want, you’re doing it wrong. Do something else. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, exactly. So pop on by to our free Slack. Go to TrustInsights.ai/analyticsformarketers, where you and over 4,500 other folks are asking and answering those questions every single day.

Creativity through the lens of a Creative Hypnotic Entrepreneur "Being creative to me is having a growth mindset. A mindset of possibilities."For more than 15 years, Shane Fozard has taught hypnotherapy, NLP, and advanced communication through the Australian Success Academy, training over 10,000 people across 18 countries, change habits, build businesses, and develop stronger leadership. His work centres on creating the mental states where learning and growth become lasting, rather than fleeting.That expertise grew out of a personal turning point. In his early thirties, Shane was working in corporate sales and operations, drinking and smoking heavily, and wondering why nothing felt right. He signed up for a hypnosis course with low expectations and walked out without his addictions, carrying what felt like the instruction manual for his own mind. From there, he built a hypnotherapy practice and went on to train others, travelling the country with his partner to teach rooms of people how to apply the tools of personal change in their lives and work.Booknotic grew out of that same curiosity. While reading Cal Newport's Deep Work, Shane began wondering what would happen if he did “deep work” on the book itself, distilling the key ideas, then recording them into a short hypnosis track. Friends he shared it with asked for more. Over time, those experiments became Booknotic: 20-minute hypnotic audio sessions based on bestselling books. Each one is built from Shane's own highlighted pages and turned into hypnotic metaphors and memory cues, designed not just to skim information but to absorb it.Unlike summary apps, Booknotic was born out of real practice; handwritten notes, spoken word, and the disciplines of hypnosis and neuroscience. Today, Shane uses it to explore how people can learn in ways that fit into real lives, whether that means a professional who hasn't opened a book in a year, or a parent listening in the quiet half-hour before the family wakes.https://www.instagram.com/shanefozard/#https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanefozard/https://www.youtube.com/@ShaneFozardSend us a text
Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World with Michelle & Scott
Episode 301 - "The Art of Enough: Escaping the Productivity Trap"We live in a culture that quietly teaches us there is always more to optimize, improve, or accomplish—and that rest, satisfaction, or “enough” must be earned. But what if that story is costing us more than it gives? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the psychology behind the productivity trap: why doing more often feels safer than doing what matters, how constant optimization erodes clarity, and why the nervous system mistakes busyness for worth. This isn't a rejection of ambition or meaningful work. It's a reframing of how we relate to effort, value, and completion. If you've ever felt productive but oddly unfulfilled—or successful but never finished—this conversation offers a steadier way to step out of the cycle and reconnect with the art of enough.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com Scott Grossberg can be reached at sgrossberg@hotmail.com https://www.thinkingmagically.com© ℗ 2026 Scott Grossberg & Michelle Post.

Why does eliminating alcohol suddenly make you crave sugar like Cookie Monster, struggle with sleep (though everyone swears you'll snooze like a baby), or find yourself existentially bored? These aren't signs that Dry January "isn't working." They're signs that your nervous system, hormones, and dopamine pathways are recalibrating. I talk a lot about the incredible benefits of going alcohol-free: the confidence, the creativity, the clarity, and the INSANE biological changes. But some of these benefits take time. If this is your first Dry January or you've had a very "wet" December, your body might take awhile to heal and rebalance itself. This episode is about some of the weirdest and most misunderstood side effects of Dry January and how to work through them so you don't spiral or quit early. What comes next is the life-changing part. P.S.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In-Ear Insights. Welcome back. Happy new year. It’s 2026. I have just begun to realize as I was cleaning out my pantry over the holidays, oh yeah, all these things expire in 2026. That’s this year. A lot happened over the holidays. A lot of changes in AI. But one thing that hasn’t happened yet but has been in discussion that I think is—Katie, you wanted to talk about—was SEO for good or ill, sort of centered on this GEO acronym, Generative Engine Optimization, and all of its brethren: AIO and AEO and whatever. SEO’s companion has always been SEM, also known as Pay Per Click marketing, and that has its alphabet soup like rlsa, remarketing lists for search ads, and all these acronyms, part of the paid version of search marketing. Well, Katie, you asked a very relevant… Katie Robbert: …question, which was, when is GEM coming? So as a little plug, I’m doing a Friday session with our good friends over at Marketing Profs on GEO and ROI, which I have to practice saying over and over again so I don’t stumble over it. But basically the idea is what can B2B marketers measure in GEO to demonstrate their return on investment so that they can argue for more budget. And so what we were talking about this morning is that GEO is really just an amped up version of brand search. If you know SEO, brand search is a part of SEO. And so basically it’s like how well recognized is my brand or my influencers or whatever. If I type in Katie Robbert or if I type in Trust Insights, what comes back? And so all of the same tactics that you do for branded search, you do for GEO plus a little bit more. So it’s the same end result, but you need to figure out sort of where all of that fits. So I’ll go over all of that. But it then naturally progressed into the conversation of, well, part of brand search is paid campaigns. You pay money to Google AdWords, if that’s still what it’s called, or whatever ad system you’re using, you put money behind your branded terms so that when someone’s looking for certain things, your name comes up. And I was like, well, that’s the SEM version of SEO. When are we getting the paid version of GEO? So basically GEM, or whatever you would want to call it, the way that I kind of envision it. So right now these systems like ChatGPT and Gemini and Claude, they’re not running ads. They’re making their money from usage. So they’re using tokens, which Chris, you’ve talked about extensively. But I can envision a world where they’re like, okay, here’s the free version of this. But every other query that you run, you get an ad for something, or at the end of every result, you get an ad for something. And so I would not be surprised if that was coming. So that was sort of what I was wondering, what I was thinking. I’m not trying to plant the idea that they should do that. I’m just assuming based on patterns of how these companies operate, they’re looking for the next way to make a revenue stream. So Chris, when I mentioned this to you this morning, I couldn’t see your face, but I assumed that there was an eye roll. So what are your thoughts on GEM? Christopher S. Penn: Here’s what we know. We know that on the back end for all these tools, what they’re doing when they use their web search tools is they’re writing their own web queries. They literally kick off their own web searches, and they do 5, 10, 20, or 100 different searches. This is something that Google calls query fan out. You can actually see this happening behind the scenes. When you use Google, you’ll see it list out summarized in Gemini, for example. You’ll see it in ChatGPT with its sources and stuff. We know—and if you’re using tools like Claude code or Gemini code—you will actually see the searches themselves. It is a very small leap of the imagination to say, okay, what’s really happening is the LLM is just doing searches, which means that the infrastructure exists—which it does for Google Ads—to say, when somebody searches for this set of keywords, show this ad. The difference is that AI searches tend to be eight to 10 words long. When you look at how Claude code does searches, it will say “docker configuration YAML file 2025” as an example of a very long term, or “best hotels under $1,000 Ibiza 2025 travel guide” would be an example of a more generic term that is a very specific, high-intent search phrase that it’s typing in. So for a system like Google to say, “You know what, inside of your search results, when it does query fan out, we’re just going to send a copy of the searches to our existing Google Ad system, and it’s going to spit back, ‘Hey, here’s some ads to go with your AI generated summary.'” I would say initially for marketers, you have to be thinking about how Gemini in particular does query fan out, how it does its own searches. We actually built a tool for this last year for ourselves that can measure how Gemini just does its own searches. We have not published because it’s still got a bunch of rough edges. But once you see those query fan out actions being taken, if you’re a Google Ads person, you can start going, “Huh? I think I need to start making sure my Google Ads have those longer, more detailed, more specific phrases.” Not necessarily because I think any human is going to search for them, but because that’s the way AI is going to search them. I think if you are using systems like ChatGPT, you should be—to the extent that you can, because you can see this in the developer API, not the consumer product, but the developer side on OpenAI’s platform—you can see what it searches for. You should be making notes on that and maybe even going so far as to say, “I’m going to type in, ‘recommend a Boston based AI consulting firm.'” See what ChatGPT does for its searches. And then if you’re the Google Ads manager, guess you better be running those ads. And probably Bing, probably Google. OpenAI said they’re going to build their own ad system—they probably will. But as many folks, including Will Reynolds and Rand Fishkin, have all said, Google still owns 95% of the search market. So if you’re going to put your bets anywhere, bet on the Google Ads system and put your efforts there. Katie Robbert: So it sounds like my theory wasn’t so far fetched this morning to assume that GEM is coming. Christopher S. Penn: Absolutely it’s coming. I mean, everyone and their cousin is burning money running AI, right? It costs so much to do inference. Even Google itself. Yes, they have their own hardware, yes, they have their own data centers and stuff. It still costs them resources to run Gemini, and they have new versions of Gemini out that came out just before the holidays, but still not cheap, and they have to monetize it. And the easiest way to monetize it is to not reinvent the wheel and just tie Gemini’s self-generated searches into Google Ads. Katie Robbert: So, I think one of the questions that people have is, well, do we know what people are searching for? And you mentioned for at least OpenAI, you can see in the developer console what the system searches for, but that’s not what people are searching for. Where do tools like Google Search Console fit in? For someone who doesn’t have the ability to tap into a developer API, could they use something like a Google Search Console as a proxy to at least start refining? I mean, they should be doing this anyway. But for generative AI, for what people are searching for? Because the reason I’m thinking of it is because what the system searches for is not what the person searches for. We still want to be tackling at least 50% of what the person searches for, and then we can start to make assumptions about what the system is going to be searching for. So where does a tool like Google Search Console fit in? Christopher S. Penn: The challenge with the tool, Google Search Console, is that it is reporting on what people type before Gemini rewrites it. So, I would say you could use that in combination with Gemini’s API to say, okay, how would Gemini transform this into a query fan out? Katie Robbert: But that’s my point: what if someone—a small business or just a marketing team that is siloed off from IT—doesn’t have access to tap into the API? Christopher S. Penn: Hire Trust Insights. Katie Robbert: Fair. If you want to do that, you can go to TrustInsights.ai/contact. But in all seriousness, I think we need to be making sure we’re educating appropriately. So yes, obviously the path of least resistance is to tap in the API to see what the system is doing. If that’s not accessible—because it is not accessible to everybody—what can they be doing? Christopher S. Penn: That’s really—it’s a challenging question. I’m not trying to be squirrely on purpose, but knowing how the AI overviews work, Gemini in Google is intercepting the user’s intent and trying to figure out what is the likely intent behind the query. So when you go into your Google search now, you will see a couple of quick results, which is what your Google Search Console will report on. And then you’re going to see all of the AI stuff, and that is the stuff that is much more difficult to predict. So as a very simple example, let me just go ahead and share my screen. For folks who are listening, you can catch us on our YouTube channel at trustinsights.ai/youtube. So I typed in “Python synth ID code,” right, which is a reference to something coding-wise. You can see, here’s the initial search term; this will show up in your Google Search Console. If the user clicks one of the two quick results, then once you get into webguide here, now this is all summarized. This is all written by Gemini. So none of this here is going to show up in Google Search Console. What happened between here and here is that Gemini went and did 80 to 100 different searches to assemble this very nice handy guide, which is completely rewritten. This is not what the original pages say. This is none of the content from these sites. It is what Gemini pulled from and generated on its own. Katie Robbert: So let me ask you this question, and this might be a little kooky, so follow me for a second. So let’s say I don’t have access to the API, so I can’t pull what the system is searching, but I do have access to something like a Google Search Console or I have my keyword list that I optimize for. Could I give Generative AI my keyword list and say, “Hey, these are the keywords or these are the phrases that humans search for. Can you help me transform these into longer-term, longer-tail keywords that a machine would search for?” Is that a process that someone who doesn’t have API access could follow? Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, because that’s exactly what’s going on inside Google software. They basically have, “Here’s the original thing. Determine the intent of the query, and then run 50 to 100 searches, variations of that, and then look at the results and sort of aggregate them, come back with what it came up with.” That’s exactly what’s happening behind the scenes. You could replicate that. It would just be a lot of manual labor. Katie Robbert: But for some, I mean, some people, some companies have to start somewhere, right? I could see—I mean, you’re saying it’s a lot of manual labor—I could even see it as a starting point. Just for simple math, here are the top 10 phrases that Trust Insights wants to rank for. “Hey, Gemini, can you help me determine the intent and give me three variations of each of these phrases that I can then build into my AdWords account?” I feel like that at least gives people a little bit more of a leg up than just waiting to see if anything comes up in search. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, you absolutely could do that. And that would be a perfectly acceptable way to at least get started. Here’s the other wrinkle: it depends on which model of Gemini. There are three of them that exist. There’s Gemini Pro, which is the heavy duty model that almost never gets used in AI Overview. Does get used to AI mode, but AI Overviews, no. There’s Gemini Flash, and then there’s Gemini Flashlight. One of the things that is a challenge for marketers is to figure out which version Google is going to use and when they swap them in and out based on the difficulty of the query. So if you typed in, “best hotels under $1,000 Ibiza Spain,” right? That’s something that Flashlight is probably going to get because it’s an easy query. It requires no thinking. It can just dump a result very quickly, deliver very high performance, get a good result for the user, and not require a lot of mental benchmarks. On the other hand, if you type something like, “My dog has this weird bump on his leg, what should I do about it?” For a more complex query, it’s probably going to jump to Flash and go into thinking mode so it can generate a more accurate answer. It’s a higher risk query. So one of the things that, if you’re doing that exercise, you would want to test your ideas in both Flashlight and Flash to see how they differ and what results it comes back with for the search terms, because they will be different based on the model. Katie Robbert: But again, you have to start somewhere. It reminds me of when the smart devices all rolled out into the market. So everybody was yelling at their home speakers, which I’m not going to start doing because mine will go off. But from there, we as marketers were learning that people speaking into a voice, if they’re using the voice option on a Google search or if they’re using their smart home devices, they’re speaking in these complete sentences. The way that we had to think about search changed then and there. I feel like these generative AI systems are akin to the voice search, to the smart devices, to using the microphone and yelling into your phone, but coming up with Google results. If you aren’t already doing that, then get in your DeLorean, go back to, what, 2015, and start optimizing for smart devices and voice search. And then you can go ahead and start optimizing for GEO and GEM, because I feel like if you’re not doing that, then you’re at a serious disadvantage. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, no, you absolutely are. So, I would say if you’re going to start somewhere, start with Gemini Flash. If you know your way around Google’s AI Studio, which is the developer version, that’s the best place to start because the consumer version of the web interface has a lot of extra stuff in it that Google’s back end will not have that the raw Gemini will not have because it slows it down. They build in, for example, a lot of safety stuff into the consumer web interface that is there for a good reason, but the search version of it doesn’t use because it’s a much more constrained use. So I would say start by reading up on how Google does this stuff. Then go into AI Studio, choose Gemini 3 Flash, and start having it generate those longer search queries, and then figure out, okay, is this stuff that we should be putting into our Google Ads as the keyword matches? The other thing is, from an advertising perspective, obviously we know the systems are going to be tailored to extract as much money from you as possible, but that also means having more things that are available as inventory for it to use. So we have been saying for three years now, if you are not creating content for places like YouTube, you have missed the boat. You really need to be doing that now because Google makes it pretty clear you can run ads on multiple parts of their platform. If you have your own content that you can turn into shorts and things, you can repurpose some of that within Google Ads and then help use that as fodder for your ad campaigns. It’s a no-brainer. Katie Robbert: To be clear, we’re talking about the Google ecosystem. Some companies aren’t using that. You can use a Google search engine without being part of the ecosystem. But some companies aren’t using Gemini, therefore they’re not using Developer Studio. If they’re using OpenAI, which is ChatGPT or Claude, or a lot of companies are Microsoft Shops. So a lot of them are using Copilot. I think taking the requirement to tap into the API or Developer Studio out of the conversation, that’s what I’m trying to get at. Not everybody has access to this stuff. So we need to provide those alternate routes, especially for all of our friends who are suffering through Copilot. Christopher S. Penn: Yes. The other thing is, if you haven’t already done this—it’s on the Trust Insights website, it’s in our Inbox Insight section. If you have not already gotten your Google Analytics Explore Dashboard set up to look at where you’re currently getting traffic from generative AI, you need to do that because this is also a good benchmark to say, “Okay, when this ad system rolls out for ChatGPT, for example, should we put money in it for Trust Insights?” The answer is yes, because ChatGPT currently is still the largest direct referrer of traffic to us. You can see in this last 28 days. Now granted this is the holidays, there wasn’t a ton happening, but ChatGPT is still the largest source of AI-generated direct clicked-on stuff to our website. If OpenAI says, “Hey, ads are open,” as we know with all these systems in the initial days, it will probably either be outlandishly expensive or ridiculously cheap. One of the two. If it errs on the ridiculously cheap side, that would be the first system for us to test because we’re already getting traffic from that model. Katie Robbert: So I think the big takeaway in 2026 is what is old is new again. Everyone is going to slap an AI label on it. If you think SEO is dead, if you think search is dead, well, you have another thing coming. If you think SEM is dead, you definitely have another thing coming. The basic tenets of good SEO and SEM are still essential, if not more so, because every conversation you have this year and moving forward, I guarantee, is going to come back to something with generative AI. How do we show up more? How do we measure it? So it really comes down to really smart SEO and SEM and then slapping an AI label on it. Am I wrong? I’m not wrong. So if you know really good SEO, if you know really good SEM, you already have a leg up on your competition. If you’re like, “Oh, I didn’t realize SEO and SEM were important.” Now, like today, no hesitation, now is the time to start getting skilled up on those things. Forget the label, forget GEO, forget GEMs, forget all that stuff. Just do really good intent-based content. Content that’s helpful, content that answers questions. If you have started nowhere and need to start somewhere today, take a look at the questions that your audience is asking about what you do, about what you sell. For example, Chris, a question that we might answer is, “How do I get started with change management?” Or, “How do I get started with good prompt engineering?” We could create a ton of content around that, and that’s going to give us an opportunity to rank, quote, unquote, rank in these systems for that content. Because it will be good, high-quality content that answers questions that might get picked up by some of our peer publications. And that’s how it all gets into it. But that’s a whole other side of the conversation. Christopher S. Penn: It is. It absolutely is. And again, if you would like to have a discussion about getting the more technical stuff implemented, like running query fan out things to see how Gemini rewrites your stuff, and you don’t want to do it yourself, hit us up. We’re more than happy to have the initial conversation and potentially do it for you because that’s what we do. You can always find us at trustinsights.ai/contact.

Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World with Michelle & Scott
Episode 300 - "Begin Again: The Psychology of Fresh Starts"Fresh starts are often misunderstood. They don't usually arrive with clarity, confidence, or a clean slate—they arrive after fatigue, disappointment, and change. In this milestone episode, Michelle and Scott explore the psychology of beginning again: why starting over can feel harder than continuing, how the brain resists new beginnings even when we crave them, and why real change rarely starts with motivation. This is a grounded conversation about permission, not pressure—and about choosing to step forward with honesty rather than hype. If you've felt the pull to begin again, this episode offers a calmer, more compassionate way to do just that.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com Scott Grossberg can be reached at sgrossberg@hotmail.com https://www.thinkingmagically.com© ℗ 2026 Scott Grossberg & Michelle Post.

We're kicking off the 2026 podcast episodes with this insight to the 6 different levels of thinking. When we set goals, most of us consider just the ONE level: what BEHAVIOURS do I need to change? This is important, but it's not the only level we need to consider if we want more rapid and permanent change. I first came across the 6 Logical Levels when I was stydying for my NLP practioners course, and have used it regularly since then. In this short episode I will walk you through all 6 levels - environment, behaviours, capabilities, beliefs & values, identity and purpose - and explain how you can use it to expand your thinking when you're considering a new goal or change. In the introduction I also share the reason I believe this podcast is still going - 5 years after the first episode back in January 2021 - and my approach to some of the solo episodes I have produced in that time (including this one!) Whatever your goals are for the next 12 months, I wish you success, motivation and all the resilience you need to get back on track when you face the inevitable challenges along the way. Thank you for listening to A Bit Of A Boost!
Send us a textIn this powerful, deeply reflective episode of Soulful Self-Care Conversations, Pearl welcomes Nasirra R. Ahamed, an international life and leadership coach whose work spans Asia, Australia, the U.S., the U.K., and the Middle East.Nasirra's journey from a high-level global corporate leader to founder of The Energy Architect is a profound story of awakening, courage, and authenticity. Together, Pearl and Nasirra explore what happens when success no longer feels aligned — and how energy, awareness, and inner work can guide us back to who we truly are.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who:Feels successful on paper but disconnected insideIs living someone else's expectationsKnows something needs to change but isn't sure where to beginWants to lead and live with greater authenticity, clarity, and purposeMeet the Guest: Nasirra R. AhamedNasirra R. Ahamed is:Founder & Chief Coach of The Energy ArchitectTwo-time #1 International Bestselling AuthorICF-certified Professional CoachLife & Leadership Coach, Speaker, and MentorFormer senior global corporate leader with 26+ years of experienceRecognized among India's Top 10 Successful Personalities and Top 50 Under 50Her work blends spirituality, neuroscience, psychology, somatic healing, NLP, and leadership strategy to help individuals and leaders redesign their inner architecture — the emotional, energetic, and belief systems that shape how they show up in life and work.Introducing Little Nasirra: Finding Her VoiceNasirra takes listeners back to her childhood growing up in Bahrain within a traditional Muslim family. As a young girl, she describes herself as shy, quiet, and hesitant to express her feelings — shaped by cultural expectations and fear of judgment.Over time, life circumstances pushed her to find her voice. That journey eventually led her into senior corporate leadership roles — but at a cost. To survive and succeed in corporate environments, Nasirra felt pressured to become tougher, more aggressive, and less heart-centered than she naturally was.This inner conflict set the stage for a pivotal awakening.The Turning Point: When Success No Longer FitsDuring the COVID era, Nasirra found herself enforcing corporate demands on employees who were losing loved ones, grieving, and struggling — all while she herself was navigating personal loss.One moment stands out:Sitting in her car, tethered to a hotspot, sending a work email while her mother-in-law lay dying in the hospital.That moment forced a life-altering question:“What am I really doing this for?”The realization was undeniable — she was driving someone else's dream while silencing her own soul.From Corporate Identity to Conscious PurposeLeaving the corporate world was not easy. Nasirra describes the in-between space — where the old identity has fallen away but the new one hasn't fully formed — as confusing, lonely, and deeply transformational.She speaks candidly about:Unlearning decades of conditioningLetting go of external validationReleasing the “fake it till you make it” mentalityChoosing authenticity over performanceFor Nasirra, true success came from aligning with her inner voice — Follow Pearl onsocial media TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook: @PearlchiarenzaGo to https://www.wsliving.com/Remember to embrace your inner pearl, nourish yourself, and find balance in life.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Kristine, a clinical hypnotherapist and CEO of Journeys to Heal Inc., and shares her journey from accounting to hypnotherapy. Kristine emphasized the importance of addressing subconscious programming, using techniques like hypnotherapy, breathwork, and NLP to help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/kristine-ovsepian Highlights from today's episode include: Kristine explains that hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious/unconscious (about 88% of our programming) and releasing the root stories, memories, and emotions, rather than just putting a "band-aid" on stress, anxiety, panic, or depression. Kristine says you must reprogram negative childhood conditioning. Much of the "I'm not good enough / I can't" programming comes from childhood voices (often parents, teachers, bullies). The mind can be reprogrammed, like uninstalling and installing apps: we can replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones through positive suggestions and hypnotherapy. Manon agrees Don't wait for collapse—honor misalignment early. You highlight that when what we're doing doesn't feel aligned, we can either wait until the body and mind break down (as in Kristine's story) or we can listen earlier, notice that "this isn't right," and start actively exploring what truly brings joy and purpose. ABOUT KRISTINE OVSEPIAN: As a clinical hypnotherapist with a Master's in Psychology, blending science and spirit to support deep healing and transformation. Through hypnotherapy, breathwork, past life regression, quantum healing, NLP, EFT, and manifestation coaching, I help others reconnect with their inner wisdom and divine power. Guided by love, intuition, and purpose, I hold space for my clients to awaken, release what no longer serves them, and step fully into their highest path.

There's a point where labs, diet, and protocols stop explaining why symptoms linger and that's where this episode begins.Healing doesn't always stall because the body lacks the right nutrients or protocol. Sometimes it's because the brain and nervous system are still holding unresolved trauma. Dr. Louise Swartswalter explains how neurobiofeedback and trauma release work can influence regulation, resilience, and the body's ability to heal. So If you're open to exploring how brain health and trauma resolution might fit into a root-cause thyroid healing approach, this episode will give you a thoughtful place to start.
