Most agents don't struggle with knowledge — they struggle with clear, efficient communication. In this episode, I walk through how I use ChatGPT to draft and clean up emails, texts, and internal messages so they're clear, professional, and neutral the first time.

“We help companies drive growth. We deliver innovative solutions. We're customer-focused.” Sound familiar? If it does, your positioning probably sounds like everyone else's, and in a world where ChatGPT can generate endless value props in seconds, that sameness is now a real threat. In this episode of Pipe Dream, host Jason Bradwell talks with Christian Klepp, co-founder of EINBLICK Consulting, about why vanilla positioning is collapsing under AI pressure and how to build differentiation that actually holds up. Christian argues that the brands that win won't be the ones publishing more AI content. They'll be the ones doing deeper customer research, crafting a clearer point of view, and using subject matter experts as a defensible moat. Jason opens with the core problem: AI made generic messaging catastrophically easy to ignore. Christian explains what's changed recently, buyers increasingly use AI-assisted search and comparison tools that see through fluff faster than ever. It's no longer enough to say “we have AI.” Buyers want specifics: what is AI doing, how does it create value, and why should they trust your approach? They also address the pressure many agencies feel as clients expect AI to make everything cheaper and faster. Christian's take is that AI has no “soul”, no nuance, humor, lived experience, or real context. The winning strategy isn't volume (100 AI-generated blogs), t's choosing fewer topics and creating truly insightful, differentiated content that reflects real expertise. Christian explains why companies end up with bland positioning: fear of alienating prospects, cultures that reward safe messaging, and internal misalignment about what truly differentiates them. He's seen teams stuck in endless debates, leading to either analysis paralysis or messaging based purely on internal assumptions. His solution starts with a research strategy. He compares it to building a house - you wouldn't build without a blueprint. Likewise, you shouldn't build positioning without deep customer interviews that uncover why buyers chose you, what triggered the decision, and what language they use to describe value. That customer voice becomes the foundation not boardroom opinions. And if you think you don't have differentiation? Christian argues it's there, but often hidden. The answer lives with your customers and SMEs, you need to dig through interviews, sales calls, and objections to find the real demand triggers. Companies producing generic content will drown in sameness. Use AI intentionally, not as a replacement. Tap SMEs, listen to sales conversations, and build messaging from real expertise. If your positioning could've been written by anyone or any AI, this episode is the wake-up call you need. 00:00 - Introduction: The uncomfortable truth about your positioning 02:00 - Meet Christian Klepp and EINBLICK Consulting 04:00 - What's changed since AI went mainstream 07:00 - The agency tension: AI expectations vs actual value 11:00 - Why AI content lacks soul (and why that matters) 14:00 - Why companies default to vanilla positioning 18:00 - Using market research to break internal misalignment 22:00 - What to do when differentiation isn't obvious 26:00 - Differentiated perspective vs being opinionated 30:00 - The cybersecurity firm that got it right 34:00 - Is the media the new competitive moat? 38:00 - What happens to companies that don't adapt 42:00 - Final advice: Interview SMEs and sit in on sales calls Connect with Jason Bradwell on LinkedIn Connect with Christian Klepp on LinkedIn Visit EINBLICK Consulting Check out B2B Marketers on a Mission Podcast Explore B2B Better website and the Pipe Dream podcast

Rahm Emanuel wants to take leadership of the Democratic Party and capture its nomination for president in 2028. He shares his thoughts in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed.

What happens when the Wild West days of early internet marketing collide with the deeply human side of AI? In this episode, Steven Sakach from aiCMO joins Carly to talk about blending empathy with innovation (yes, even in a world that often feels robotic and copy-and-paste). From his outrageous early-career bidding wars to his BLISS framework (Build Love Into Scalable Systems), Steven shows solopreneurs how AI can actually make your business more human, not less.If you want to use AI without losing your voice, deepen emotional connection with your clients, and build systems infused with purpose (and love), this is your episode.FAQs From The EpisodeHow do I keep my marketing from sounding generic when using AI?The key is anchoring your AI-generated content in your purpose, values, and voice. Stephen's platform (and the approach he recommends) starts with defining your higher purpose — what you actually care about, who you serve, and why you do what you do. When AI has that context, plus your differentiators and brand voice, it stops producing “same-same” results and starts sounding unmistakably like you.How do I use AI without losing authenticity or connection with my audience?You deepen authenticity before you generate content. Ask AI to help you understand your customers' emotional journey — what fears they have, what delights them, what frustrations they experience. Once you understand the emotional landscape, AI can help you create “surprise and delight” moments, strengthen connection, and design experiences that feel personal and human. Authenticity comes from clarity, not from avoiding AI.What systems should I build first if I want to grow but stay true to my values?Stephen suggests starting with BLISS: Build Love Into Scalable Systems. That means creating processes that aren't just efficient, but kind — onboarding steps that lower anxiety, feedback loops that keep you aligned with client needs, and systems that consider impact on people and planet, not just profit. When you systemize kindness and empathy, your values show up consistently, not just when you remember.

Episode #340  Have you ever found yourself saying you want to try something new or stop doing something? If you said, Yes! This episode is for you!  "Broken-record-idis" is a thing, and I share my recent experience declaring an "opposite day"—a simple practice of intentionally doing something opposite of your usual routine, especially in midlife. Whether it's skipping the grocery store to avoid wine, taking a different walk route, or wearing something unexpected, small shifts can spark joy and motivation. Planning a day to do the "opposite" is about breaking monotony, releasing natural dopamine, and inviting a fresh perspective without pressure or big commitments.  If you try it and want to share with me, I would love to hear from you!  If you are interested in private coaching or have questions about Team Alcohol-Free, you can send me an email here.  Thank you for listening!

Let's talk about one of the most powerful, and most underused, tools in recruiting: events and masterminds. Not the big splashy hotel-ballroom kind. I'm talking about strategic, intimate gatherings that position you as a leader, not a recruiter. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through how to host the kind of experience that attracts high-level talent without ever pitching your opportunity. You'll learn how to move from chasing candidates to curating conversations that build trust, momentum, and long-term recruiting wins. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The overlooked power of events and masterminds in modern recruiting. [01:00] Why Pitches Fall Flat – Top talent doesn't want another comp plan meeting. They want meaningful conversation. [01:30] Step 1: Solve a Real Problem – Create a topic around what producers actually care about: margin compression, referrals, personal brand, burnout, AI tools. [02:30] Step 2: Invite Strategically – Avoid salesy language. Use this: “No pitch. Just great conversation with people who are growing.” [03:30] Step 3: Facilitate Like a Pro – You don't need to be the expert. Ask great questions, spotlight others, and guide the room. [04:30] The Follow-Up Strategy – After the event, send a resource or personalized note that connects to what they shared. [05:00] Real Story – How one client hosted a 6-person breakfast that led to a recruit texting her days later asking for a conversation, without ever mentioning her company. [05:30] Final Challenge – Build a mastermind in the next 30 days. Make it meaningful. Let value open the recruiting door. Key Takeaways Stop Pitching. Start Curating. – Recruiting isn't about features. It's about creating spaces where people want to belong. Solve Real Problems – When you focus on what producers are struggling with, they'll lean in. Be the Host, Not the Hero – Great facilitators create rooms others want to return to. Recruit Without Recruiting – Share resources. Follow up with intention. Lead the relationship. Events Build Trust at Scale – You're not chasing people. You're inviting them into a conversation worth joining. If you want to win the top 20%, stop sounding like every other recruiter. Lead something real. Build something valuable. And create rooms where leaders want to sit. Want help building your first mastermind or recruiting event?

Dr. Snyder discusses common challenges in dental practices, emphasizing the need for better communication to improve case acceptance. He highlights that dentists often confuse patients with technical jargon, leading to low case acceptance rates. He suggests that dentists should focus on understanding patients' problems and goals rather than just educating them. He introduces, "Inception," a training program at Legion Dentist, which teaches dentists to ask the right questions to uncover patients' needs and lead them to the desired conclusions. Effective communication, he argues, can significantly increase revenue and reduce stress by making patients feel understood and invested in their treatment.Listen in!Thank You for enjoying this episode of Delusional: Winning the Weekly War of DentistryRESOURCES:Learn more about LEGIONSubscribe to DELUSIONAL: Winning The Weekly War PodcastWrite a Review on iTunes‎

Are you tired of struggling to communicate libertarian ideas effectively? Have you ever wondered why some people seem to resist even the most logical arguments for liberty? In this Brian's Briefing episode of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols reveals the crucial mistakes that libertarians make when trying to sell their ideas and offers invaluable insights on how to connect with your average person. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Nichols begins by dissecting a fascinating video clip featuring a salesman attempting to sell Grant Cardone a glass of water. Through this example, he exposes the common pitfall of focusing solely on features and benefits rather than addressing the underlying problems that people face. Nichols argues that libertarians often fall into this trap, losing their audience before they even have a chance to make their case. The episode takes an intriguing turn as Nichols introduces a clip from comedian Theo Von, which highlights another critical issue in libertarian communication: the "autistic" approach. Nichols candidly discusses how this hyper-focused, logic-driven style of presentation can alienate potential supporters and hinder the movement's growth. He emphasizes the importance of understanding your audience and tailoring your message to resonate with their emotional needs. Drawing from his extensive sales experience, Nichols offers practical advice on how libertarians can improve their communication skills. He stresses the importance of asking questions, uncovering problems, and presenting libertarian solutions as valuable outcomes rather than abstract ideas. Nichols challenges listeners to rethink their approach and focus on selling solutions instead of merely promoting ideology. This episode is a must-watch for anyone passionate about advancing liberty and freedom. Whether you're a seasoned libertarian activist or new to the philosophy, Nichols' insights will transform the way you communicate your ideas. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to effectively sell liberty in a world that desperately needs it.
