Podcasts about using ai

Be honest. How are you actually using AI right now?If you're like most people, you're probably asking it questions, tweaking some copy, maybe getting it to write a caption or two. And that's a great start. But what if AI could actually do the work for you? Like, really do it. Read and sort your emails. Schedule your social posts. Rebuild your website. Research every single person in a room before you walk in.That's what my husband Joshua Vial has been building in our house for the last few years. And watching him do it has been equal parts inspiring and humbling. Every week I'd see him do something that made my jaw drop and I'd say, Josh, you have to come and tell people about this. So here we finally are.Josh has spent 25 years as a programmer, co-founded Dev Academy Aotearoa where he helped hundreds of people go from zero to landing their first job in tech, and co-founded FundSorter, an AI platform saving New Zealand charities up to 90% of the time they used to spend chasing grant funding. These days through Code With JV he runs courses and a newsletter helping real people cut through the noise and actually use AI in their work and lives. He is one of the most forward-thinking people I know. And I finally got him on the podcast.So if you've been meaning to get better at working with AI and want to tap into its potential, this is the episode to teach you how.What You'll Learn:Why thinking of AI as an "intelligence" is actually getting in your way, and what mental model works betterThe difference between Level 1 AI use (chat windows, copy paste) and Level 2, where AI has actual digital hands and does things for youWhy AI is really good at producing things that look good but aren't, and how to protect yourself from thatHow to start systematising your work so AI can genuinely take things off your plateHow Josh went from 2,000 unread emails across six inboxes to a fully AI managed system for almost nothingThe social media workflow that took him from barely posting to 130,000 LinkedIn impressions in a week Hosted on Acast.

Episode Overview In this powerful episode, John Kitchens sits down with industry powerhouse Kendall Bonner to talk about building true authority in real estate. From launching the CLIMBR Community to creating the Industry Speaks Academy, Kendall breaks down how agents can elevate from local operator to industry voice. They dive deep into personal branding, performance credibility, referral credibility, AI leverage, and why now is the time to stop playing small. If you've ever thought about growing beyond transactions — into influence, impact, and scale — this episode is your blueprint. Because the future belongs to those who learn, unlearn, and relearn. Key Topics Covered The Climber Community: Raising the Industry Standard Why today's real estate industry is drowning in noise The shift from information economy to trust economy How AI is accelerating both opportunity and skill gaps Why agents must look outside the industry for innovation Building a brand-agnostic, global community focused on growth Kendall explains how Climber Community was born from a mastermind moment — and why it exists to help agents adapt faster than the market changes. The Trust Crisis in Real Estate Most transparent time in history — yet least trusting AI-generated content and credibility challenges Why sales skepticism is at an all-time high The importance of leading with transparency In a world where consumers question everything, trust becomes your greatest differentiator. Personal Brand vs. Industry Brand Kendall breaks down the difference between: Building a scalable personal brand Elevating into an industry-level voice Diversifying marketing beyond traditional lead gen Structuring your business for scale using AI Her advice: Before you grow louder, grow more organized. The Credibility Gap: Why Most Speakers Never Break Through Kendall introduces her three-level credibility framework from the Industry Speaks Academy: Street Credibility You must have real experience and expertise. No shortcuts. Performance Credibility You must put in reps. Small rooms → Mid-size rooms → Large stages. One speech is not enough. Referral Credibility Event organizers need signals: Professional speaker assets Stage footage (not podcasts) Referrals from trusted sources Most aspiring speakers skip steps 2 and 3 — and never understand why opportunities stall. Why Speaking Changes Everything Being on stage: Opens rooms you'd never otherwise enter Puts you face-to-face with decision makers Expands your influence beyond production Elevates your perceived authority instantly Kendall shares how stages transformed her career — connecting her with CEOs, brand leaders, and national organizations. AI as Your Strategic Thought Partner Instead of fearing AI, Kendall recommends: Using AI to operationalize your business Organizing systems for scale Creating structure before growth Treating AI like a business consultant Scale doesn't come from hustle alone. It comes from structure. Resources Mentioned Climber Community → climbercommunity.com Industry Speaks Academy → speakonrealestatestages.com Authority Gap Assessment Speaker Readiness Checklist The Road Less Stupid – Keith Cunningham Alvin Toffler quote on learning, unlearning, relearning Final Takeaway The quality of your life — and your business — is a direct reflection of what you make non-negotiable. If you want to grow beyond transactions: Structure your business Build credibility intentionally Put in the reps Seek rooms that stretch you Learn, unlearn, relearn Because in 2026 and beyond, authority won't belong to the loudest voice. It will belong to the most prepared one.

How have large language models impacted hacking? Richard talks to Erica Burgess about her experiences using LLMs for red team hacking, collecting bug bounties, and identifying vulnerabilities in systems. Erica discusses the power of LLMs to generate a variety of viewpoints on a potential exploit and help the hacker think "out of the box." Coordinating multiple agents to attempt a variety of exploits, retrieve information, and otherwise deal with the drudgery parts of hacking means a skilled operator can move faster - what once would be days of work can be minutes. Where does AI in hacking go? Lots of scary places - but also pointing the way to new ways to protect systems!LinksBurninator SecRecorded January 24, 2026

Blending AI Efficiency with Human Insight  Shep interviews Vinod Muthukrishnan, Vice President & General Manager of Webex Customer Experience at Cisco. He talks about how AI is moving from a technology tool to a collaborative coworker that helps businesses personalize service, automate routine tasks, and close the customer experience gap.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can AI create a human-centered customer experience?  How is artificial intelligence transforming customer service interactions?  What are the most effective ways to use analytics to improve customer support and reduce unnecessary contact center calls?  How can automation help resolve frequent customer complaints, such as long wait times or repetitive interactions?  Why should companies rethink traditional metrics, such as average handle time, when evaluating customer service performance?  Top Takeaways:    AI has evolved from being just a tool to becoming an actual coworker. It can handle routine tasks and take on responsibilities like note-taking during meetings, freeing up a lot of employees' time. This shift is radically transforming how we engage, connect, collaborate, and communicate with customers.  Brand interactions should aim to feel like engaging with a favorite human. The best experiences remember customers' history, never making them repeat themselves, and understanding their unique preferences. They also minimize wait times and meet customers on their channel of choice.  Customers are understanding when they know you genuinely care about their issues and are actively working to resolve them. But if they have to call three times for the same issue, it becomes another problem.   If you use AI to solve problems the right way, you bring customers to your side of the equation. Instead of asking the generic ‘How can I help you?' when they've already called multiple times, AI can help you acknowledge their frustration by providing customer history and knowledge base in real time, and guide you on the next best step to fixing the issue.  Using AI and analytics to predict, prevent, and preempt issues by proactively giving customers the information they need before they even ask creates a seamless experience where people rarely need to call for help.   Call containment and call deflection with AI do not mean companies stop talking to customers. It means letting AI handle routine tasks like password resets or payment verifications, so that when customers reach a human agent, the conversation can focus on more important tasks, like resolving complex issues or exploring new products.  Plus, Shep and Vinod discuss why brands that go “all-in” on AI for customer support often end up reversing their decisions. Tune in!  Quote:   "We have to start looking at AI not as a tool or a product, but as a teammate."    About:    Vinod Muthukrishnan is the VP & GM of Webex Customer Experience at Cisco. He is an expert in AI and innovative technology to transform how brands engage with customers, ensuring experiences are more human and personalized.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Ai for fun and proffit Using AI for Fun and Profit | Episode 588 Good morning. It's 37 degrees on Valentine's Day. Hopefully you remembered to plan something for your significant other — unlike me, who accidentally requested off the 15th instead of the 14th. Today we're talking about using AI — ChatGPT, Suno, and others — for fun and profit. You don't have to use one specific tool. They all have strengths and weaknesses. They're only getting better. And if you're not learning how to use them, you're falling behind. This episode is about how I actually use AI in real life — for the podcast, for creativity, for fitness tracking, for health data, and even for analyzing DNA. And yes — without AI, this podcast wouldn't be happening daily. Transcription(base) AI Theme Songs and Creative Leverage For years I used “Blitzkrieg Bop” by the Ramones as intro music. YouTube hated it. Copyright flags. Monetization issues. Headaches. Now I use Suno AI to generate custom theme songs. I can spin up a holiday-specific intro or a tools-themed metal jam in minutes. That simply wasn't possible before unless you had real money to hire an artist. And it's not just podcast music. Back in the day, you'd make a mixtape for someone you liked. Cassette. Burned CD. Carefully curated songs. Now? I can write my wife a custom bubblegum-themed romantic parody song in under a minute while sitting at work. That level of creative leverage didn't exist before. How AI Runs This Podcast Behind the Scenes Here's where it really gets practical. I use ChatGPT to: Generate topic lists (hit or miss — but great for idea sparks) Help outline research and talking points Convert podcast transcripts into blog posts Create tailored thumbnails for each episode After recording, I run a transcription plugin in Audacity. Export it. Feed it to ChatGPT. It crafts the blog post that matches exactly what I said. Back in the day, making a thumbnail meant: Searching Creative Commons images Verifying licenses Editing in Photoshop Formatting text manually That could take an hour per episode. Now? Seconds. That alone is game-changing. Editing, Transcription, and Efficiency Sometimes the transcription plugin fails. When that happens, I use Descript, which has AI filters that can remove filler words like “um” and “like.” It's powerful. It costs money at scale. If the show budget explodes someday, that's one of the first upgrades I'd bring in. But even with free tools, the efficiency gain is massive. AI doesn't replace me. It removes friction. Fitness Tracking and TRT Logging This is where it gets interesting. I use ChatGPT to track my TRT injections — site rotation, dosage, symptoms. I log: 50mg testosterone left hip 25mg NPP ventral glute Symptoms, mood, energy levels Some days I forget where I'm supposed to inject next. I ask. It reviews my logs and tells me. It's not medical advice. It's structured journaling. And when I eventually see a rheumatologist for chronic fatigue and pain, I'll walk in with a detailed record of everything I've tried and how I felt. That's powerful leverage. DNA Analysis and Supplement Guessing You can download raw DNA data, convert it into a readable format, and upload it for analysis. You can ask: Is this supplement a good fit for my DNA? Do I have methylation issues? What should I avoid? Is it perfect? Probably not.Is it fun and insightful? Absolutely. AI is very good at pattern recognition and extrapolation. You just have to remember it's not a doctor. Final Thoughts AI isn't magic. It's leverage. It saves time. It expands creativity. It reduces friction. It helps organize chaos. You don't need to build an AI startup. But if you're not using these tools to streamline your life, your business, your health tracking, your creative output — you're leaving value on the table.

Most business owners are barely scratching the surface of AI — and it's costing them speed, clarity, and competitive advantage. If you're using AI to: "Write me an email." "Create 5 social posts." "Give me some ideas." You're driving a Ferrari at 25 mph. In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy Howard break down how to stop using AI like a search engine and start using it like a strategic execution partner. This is not about better prompts. It's about Prompt Stacking — the method that turns AI into your marketing department, project manager, operations assistant, and execution engine.

ChatGPT can generate a sermon manuscript faster than you can brew your morning coffee. But should it?In this episode of the Church Tech Today Podcast, host Kenny Jahng breaks down Carey Nieuwhof's recent message on the ethics of AI in ministry, and the 4 dangers every pastor needs to hear before letting algorithms into the pulpit.From stunted spiritual formation to a subtle form of plagiarism, Nieuwhof argues that bypassing the hard work of sermon prep doesn't just shortchange your congregation—it shortchanges you.In this episode:Why the grind of sermon prep is a feature, not a bugThe “unwritten contract” you might be breaking with your churchHow AI-generated content loses authentic resonanceThe long-term cost to your authority as a teacherCarey isn't anti-tech, but he is pro-human.And this conversation is one every pastor using AI needs to have.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Joe Ferraro, host of the One Percent Better podcast and a coach who helps leaders have stronger conversations when the stakes are high. If you lead projects, you know how quickly a meeting, a status update, or a feedback moment can either build trust or quietly drain it. Joe shares small, practical moves that make conversations more memorable and more useful. You will hear why being "good at talking" is not the same as being good at conversation, and how preparation can be a generous act toward the other person. They also discuss how to avoid default, predictable questions, how to turn a one-way presentation into something more interactive, and how to keep your composure when you feel defensive. Joe even offers a simple technique for pressure testing ideas without starting a fight, plus a listening cue you can use the next time you feel tempted to jump in. If you're looking for insights on having better conversations that save projects and strengthen relationships, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "And you know what's a great barometer there is for people listening to ask themselves on a daily basis? How many questions do they ask?" "But the reality is a generous conversation is one where you're prepared." "And the easiest path, the simplest path is to ask more questions and then listen, like your life depends on it." "The human ear driving, or on the treadmill or in a board meeting doesn't want to hear the same length answer every time from Andy or Joe or Sheila." "If you feel like you're bursting at the seams and you need to share something, that's when you know to hold it in and to focus on them." "I teach people the technique of inserting devil's advocate, where you, you don't wanna necessarily become the villain, but you say, you know, Andy, you know, it's a great point." "But when I go back to, to Mitch Albom one time, he paused seven seconds before I asked him, before he answered the question." "If you have a recorded conversation, simply ask it to pull out every question that was asked."

Cross-posted to LessWrong.Summary History's most destructive ideologies—like Nazism, totalitarian communism, and religious fundamentalism—exhibited remarkably similar characteristics: epistemic and moral certainty extreme tribalism dividing humanity into a sacred “us” and an evil “them” a willingness to use whatever means necessary, including brutal violence. Such ideological fanaticism was a major driver of eight of the ten greatest atrocities since 1800, including the Taiping Rebellion, World War II, and the regimes of Stalin, Mao, and Hitler. We focus on ideological fanaticism over related concepts like totalitarianism partly because it better captures terminal preferences, which plausibly matter most as we approach superintelligent AI and technological maturity. Ideological fanaticism is considerably less influential than in the past, controlling only a small fraction of world GDP. Yet at least hundreds of millions still hold fanatical views, many regimes exhibit concerning ideological tendencies, and the past two decades have seen widespread democratic backsliding. The long-term influence of ideological fanaticism is uncertain. Fanaticism faces many disadvantages including a weak starting position, poor epistemics, and difficulty assembling broad coalitions. But it benefits from greater willingness to use extreme measures, fervent mass followings, and a historical tendency to survive and even thrive amid technological and societal upheaval. Beyond complete victory or defeat, multipolarity may [...] ---Outline:(00:16) Summary(05:19) What do we mean by ideological fanaticism?(08:40) I.

Keith McLachlan of Element Investment Managers considers Anthropic's new Claude Opus 4.6 tool for forecasting free cash flows and then discounting them back to a present value.

In this episode of Advisor Talk, Frank LaRosa and Stacey Frank take a grounded, advisor-first look at how AI is actually changing the profession - and why the future of advice is still fundamentally human.Rather than fearing AI, Frank explains why this moment closely mirrors the rise of online trading in the early 2000s - a shift that many believed would eliminate advisors, but ultimately made great advisors even more valuable.This conversation centers on a critical idea:Technology can provide data. Only humans can provide wisdom.Frank and Stacey break down how AI can enhance efficiency, buy back time, and improve service - while also exposing advisors who rely solely on technology without building real client relationships.They also introduce the concept of co-intelligence - where advisors use AI as a tool, not a replacement  and explain why empathy, clarity, and human judgment remain the true differentiators in financial advice.Key questions explored in this episode:Will AI put financial advisors out of business?No. But it will challenge advisors who lack a strong service model or meaningful client relationships.Why doesn't AI replace the advisor-client relationship?Because clients don't hire advisors for calculations - they hire them for clarity, reassurance, and guidance through uncertainty.How should advisors be using AI today?As a way to remove friction, automate tasks, and free up time to focus on deeper client conversations and better service.What is “co-intelligence”?A mindset where AI delivers information, while advisors provide judgment, empathy, and leadership.What happens to advisors who ignore AI altogether?They risk falling behind firms that use technology to become more efficient - and more human - at the same time.If you're a financial advisor wondering how AI fits into your practice - or worried about what it means for your future - this episode offers perspective, clarity, and a practical way forward.Chapters:00:49 – Intro02:55 – Online Trading Parallel04:40 – AI Fear05:30 – Human Advice08:47 – Co-Intelligence10:46 – Clarity vs Calculators12:58 – Human Advantage16:25 – Service WinsLearn more about Elite and our resources:Elite Consulting Partners | Financial Advisor Transitionshttps://eliteconsultingpartners.comElite Marketing Concepts | Marketing Services for Financial Advisorshttps://elitemarketingconcepts.comElite Advisor Successions | Advisor Mergers & Acquisitionshttps://eliteadvisorsuccessions.comJEDI Database Solutions | Technology Solutions for Advisorshttps://jedidatabasesolutions.comListen to more Advisor Talk episodes:https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/podcasts/

Why clarity and authenticity matter more than ever in modern communication.Clear communication in the age of likes, LLMs, and constant noise isn't about talking more. For Nick Thompson, it's about being unmistakably clear and unmistakably yourself.Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic and former editor-in-chief of Wired, has spent his career shaping stories that hold attention. “Clear beats clever,” he says, stressing that authenticity and specificity are what make messages land. “If you can get across what you're really trying to say— if you can say it honestly, specifically, and ideally briefly—that's good. And if you can say it in a way that feels like you, that's great.”Beyond journalism, Thompson is an elite marathon runner, ranking among the top competitive runners in the world, an identity that, for him, isn't separate from writing or leadership but deeply connected to it. “[Running] has taught me all kinds of habits of mind and discipline and pacing,” he says, “There are all kinds of lessons from the sport that apply to my business life.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Thompson joins host Matt Abrahams to share how great communicators craft “sticky” ideas without chasing soundbites. From practical editorial tests to the importance of editing, structure, and authenticity, Thompson offers a roadmap for communication that doesn't just get noticed but lasts.Episode Reference Links:Nick ThompsonNick's Book: The Running GroundEp.183 Rethinks: How Anxiety Can Fuel Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (04:10) - Good Communication in the Modern Day (04:52) - Finding Your Authentic Voice (05:59) - The Power of Editing (07:43) - Reading Your Writing Out Loud (09:36) - How to Create “Sticky” Content (10:58) - AI's Role in Journalism & Communication (13:01) - Using AI in Daily Life (13:45) - Running As Meditation (17:22) - What Running Teaches About Simplicity (18:57) - The Final Three Questions (23:15) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

Lawyers have always relied on tools—but AI is different. It doesn't just assist with tasks; it makes decisions, applies judgment, and shapes outcomes. In episode #602 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Damien Riehl about what ethical responsibility looks like when AI starts doing legal work on its own.  Their conversation examines how AI systems embed values, why verification matters more than transparency, and how lawyers can responsibly use tools they don't fully understand. They also explore what legal expertise looks like in an AI-powered future—and why intuition, trust, and integrity may matter more than ever as machines take over the “widgets” of legal work.  Listen to our other episodes on Ethics and Responsibility in AI.  EP. 582 Deepfakes, Data, and Duty: Navigating AI Ethics in Law, with Merisa Bowers Apple | Spotify | LTN  EP. 543 What Lawyers Need to Know About the Ethics of Using AI, with Hilary Gerzhoy Apple | Spotify | LTN    Have thoughts about today's episode?

What does faithfulness look like as artificial intelligence becomes a normal part of everyday life? In Part 3 of this series, Mark Vance and Emily Jensen focus on practical wisdom—how Christians can use AI responsibly without outsourcing discernment, formation, or trust to technology.This conversation centers on limits: why AI should remain a tool rather than a guide, how dependence subtly shapes our spiritual habits, and why Christian maturity requires presence, patience, and embodied wisdom in an increasingly automated world.Episode Highlights  00:46 — Framing the conversation: living faithfully as Christians amid rapid technological change 01:53 — Everyday AI usage and how quickly dependence can form 03:14 — The danger of outsourcing thinking, discernment, and wisdom 05:02 — Why AI can assist productivity but cannot shape character 07:18 — Formation happens through presence, not efficiency 09:41 — The spiritual cost of convenience we rarely notice 12:06 — Why Christian growth requires friction, struggle, and patience 14:38 — AI as a tool, not a teacher or authority 17:05 — Discernment as a learned habit, not a technological feature 19:44 — How embodied community resists technological isolation 22:31 — The church's responsibility to form people, not compete with tools 25:06 — Holding a posture of confidence rather than fear 27:26 — Final encouragement: use technology wisely, know its limits, trust ChristResourcesCornerstone Church Sermons: Listen onlineAsk Mark a Question!

What if AI wasn't about doing more — but about helping you live with more clarity, ease, and intention? In this episode of the Wandering But Not Lost Podcast, we demonstrate how AI can be used as a co-pilot for alignment, not a replacement for intuition. Instead of theory or hype, we walk through three live AI prompts designed to help you: Gain clarity on what truly matters today Reset when you feel behind or overwhelmed Create sustainable, personalized health and wellness support This episode is part of our new AI demo series, but it also stands completely on its own. You'll hear how simple, intentional prompts can save time, reduce decision fatigue, and help you reconnect with what matters most — mentally, emotionally, and physically.

If you're tired of chasing "flash in the pan" tactics that promise overnight results, this episode is your reality check. In this episode of Pipe Dream, host Jason Bradwell sits down with Dev Basu, CEO of Powered by Search, to unpack how to build an inbound-only growth motion that actually compounds over time instead of burning out your team and budget. Dev's core point is clear: stop creating remixable AI content and start building lived-experience content that creates goodwill as a moat. The marketers winning today aren't the ones doing more, they're the ones doing the simple things better and measuring what actually matters. For 16 years, Dev has helped VPs of marketing and CMOs at B2B SaaS companies build predictable pipeline without cold outreach. His approach targets two groups: the 5% in-market demand actively looking for solutions, and the 45% of right-fit customers who don't wake up thinking they need your software but would benefit from it. Dev walks through Powered by Search's playbook, which drives more than half their inbound leads through LinkedIn alone. His SAGE framework (Simple, Actionable, Goal-oriented, Easy to consume) focuses on publishing content about how they've done something, not generic how-to advice. This lived-experience approach can't be copied through ChatGPT or Claude, building genuine goodwill that compounds over time. The conversation breaks down the "do more, do better, do new" framework. Most companies don't need revolutionary tactics, they need to optimise existing channels ruthlessly. AI plays a role, but it's about speed, not strategy. Dev uses AI to accelerate production once they know what good looks like, not to figure out what to say. Then Dev drops the tactical goldmine: the 3x10 rule. Get 10% more right-fit traffic, reduce acquisition cost by 10%, and increase average contract value by 10%. When you stack these three improvements, they compound to roughly 30% more pipeline.

In this episode of Entrepreneur | Authorities, Joe Pardavila sits down with Charles Sims, founder of SkaFld Studio and “Hurricane CTO,” to break down why nearly 80 percent of every business is built on repeatable systems and how leaders who master that foundation scale faster with less chaos.Charles introduces the SkaFld Anywhere methodology, a framework designed to systemize the core operations behind growth across any industry. From turning a single indoor pickleball venue into a franchise ready operation, to guiding school districts through AI adoption with clarity and trust, Charles shows why strong infrastructure matters more than flashy ideas.The conversation explores why smart leaders resist standardization, how perfectionism stalls momentum, and what usually breaks first when companies try to grow without clear systems in place. Charles shares real examples from startups, local businesses, and public sector organizations, explaining how modular thinking removes decision fatigue and builds consistency without killing culture.Joe and Charles also dive into the human side of scaling, including how trust lowers risk, why empathy drives adoption of new initiatives, and how leaders separate personal identity from the systems their organizations need to thrive.The episode closes with a clear takeaway: when you systemize the repeatable 80 percent of your business, the remaining 20 percent becomes your competitive edge.

You can have all the tools in the world… and still feel like your day disappears into pings, meetings, and status chasing. This session is about getting that time back with simple, repeatable habits that actually stick.Joe is joined by Dani Spires, VP of digital at Asana, to unpack the biggest productivity drains teams face right now and how to fix them with clearer processes, better meeting discipline, and AI that supports (rather than amplifies) chaos.Key topics include:- Why AI can create more “work about work” if you layer it onto broken processes- How to build focus time rituals that work across whole teams (not just individuals)- A practical way to stop reactive Slack pings by enforcing a clear intake and escalation process- Using AI for research, synthesis, first drafts, routing and summaries while keeping strategy and judgement human- Meeting rules that save hours: agendas, outcomes, documented decisions, and when to confidently decline- How to create clarity by tying work to impact and making ad hoc requests self-serveTimestamps:00:00 Building a personal AI assistant02:24 Where teams waste time most05:07 Protecting focus from constant pings10:01 Staying organised outside of work12:09 AI agents in real workflows18:04 Meetings that actually work35:03 Finding clarity through impactWatch / listen:Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-meetup-podcast/id1365546447Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QvmFdxg5pMwsfPkKjhXl9Please take the time to check out our partners, all of whom we work with because we think they're useful companies for lovely marketers.Frontify – All your brand assets in one place: Frontify combines DAM, brand guidelines, and templates into a collaborative source of brand truth.Mailchimp - The all-in-one marketing platform that helps teams turn emails, automation, and now SMS into smarter, more connected customer journeys (and they've been longtime friends of TMM!).Cambridge Marketing College – The best place to get your marketing qualifications and apprenticeships.Planable – the content collaboration platform that helps marketing teams create, plan, review, and approve all their awesome marketing content.Wistia – a complete video marketing platform that helps teams create, host, market, and measure their videos and webinars, all in one place.

I sit down with Jonathan Courtney, host of Unscheduled CEO Podcast, to talk about the gap between building AI-powered products and actually making money from them. Jonathan walks through his four-step "Promoter Blueprint" — traffic, holding pattern, selling event, and conversion — and shows exactly how he uses Claude and Claude Code to execute each phase. This one is a wake-up call for any founder spending more time optimizing automations than promoting what they sell. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro and Welcome Back 04:13 – The Founder's Real Job: Promotion, Period 09:23 – The Promoter Blueprint (Screen Share) 19:38 – Using AI with Promoter Blueprint 22:52 – Inside Claude: Jonathan's Claude Workflow 28:41 – Moving from Claude to Claude Code for Builds 30:55 – Building a $450K Webinar Campaign with Claude 37:30 – Scale Up, Abundance Over Efficiency 43:57 – Final Advice: Embrace Your Role as Promoter Key Points A CEO's primary job is promoting the business — building is secondary to getting people in the door. AI tools become "procrastination machines" when builders optimize systems that have zero customers. Every revenue engine follows four phases: traffic, holding pattern, selling event, conversion (and a loop back). Claude projects combined with Claude Code create a fast workflow for going from research to a shipped marketing asset in under an hour. The current play is abundance and scale, using AI to run five campaigns instead of one, rather than cutting headcount for efficiency.

Like it or not artificial intelligence is here, and it's changing the way we do business. Unfortunately, using it well is not the norm. In this episode, Chad shares five mistakes leaders must avoid when using AI. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com 

MIT and Stanford professor Alex "Sandy" Pentland, one of the most cited researchers in the world with over 165,000 citations, explains why the real AI advantage isn't smarter models but collective intelligence. It's smarter humans working together with AI as the connective tissue. Drawing from his latest book Shared Wisdom, Pentland reveals the frameworks behind community intelligence and why data ownership, not frontier AI, will determine who wins the next decade.You'll discover:✅ Why "people plus AI" consistently beats AI alone, and the hedge fund evidence that proves it✅ How "AI buddies" are replacing corporate manuals, newsletters, and hallway conversations to keep distributed teams aligned✅ The Deliberation.io tool that makes meetings more than twice as effective by neutralizing power dynamics and keeping groups focused✅ Why a 350,000-person multinational is cutting in-house staff to 150,000 while hiring 100,000 more project-based workers, and how AI enables that shift✅ How a doctor with zero technical background built a hospital operating system in 6 weeks using AI tools✅ The staggering stat: AI costs are dropping by 50% every 3.5 months, a factor of 1,000 over three years, and what that means for personal, on-device AI✅ Why China's Belt and Road and India's Citizen Stack (1.4 billion customers signed up) are quietly winning the global data game while Silicon Valley focuses on frontier models✅ Sandy's provocative proposal: a 10% equity contribution to sovereign wealth funds at company formation, which would have created a $10 trillion US fund if started in 1990⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Why AI alone loses money: the hedge fund reality check2:07 Shared wisdom, community intelligence, and organizational culture4:25 AI buddies: the brilliant librarian inside your company5:44 Deliberation.io: making meetings 2x more effective7:01 Using AI for exploration and long-range strategic thinking11:29 Who's to blame when AI fails: executives or the machine?14:28 Why AI can't do causality and what that means for leaders18:14 AI's killer app for remote work and distributed organizations21:09 A doctor built a hospital OS in 6 weeks: small teams, massive impact24:09 Job displacement, social safety nets, and the sovereign wealth fund idea27:01 Reinventing education: Costa Rica's bet and the MIT Media Lab model32:16 LLMs vs. older AI: why you need both (and the loyalagents.org initiative)37:13 Practical starting points for redesigning work with AI40:16 Misinformation, data provenance, and the billion-dollar North Korea problem48:50 The global data race: China, India, UAE, and why frontier models aren't the game54:00 Cybersecurity warning: agentic AI creates massive new attack surfaces

Using AI-driven prompts in their Dad GPT series, the felas tackle how marriage is "assailed by outside forces" like screaming babies and the difficulty of maintaining an "eternal foot down". A central theme is the battle for presence; they candidly discuss phone addiction and using physical "bricks" to stay engaged. Focusing on the "repair" over the "rip," the show aims for a future where children truly "like" their parents. It's an honest look at parenting, "brain butter" and all.

Lawyers are understandably cautious about AI—but the real risk may be using it the wrong way. In episode 601 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser sits down with Matt Spiegel of Lawmatics to explore how agentic AI is changing the way law firms handle intake and evaluate potential clients.  Matt breaks down why surface-level AI tools fall short, how agentic AI can make informed recommendations instead of opaque scores, and what it takes to build trust in automated decision-making. They also discuss how better intake systems can reduce wasted time, improve lead quality, and support more intentional firm growth.  Listen to our other episodes on Artificial Intelligence in Legal Practice.  #497: Real Talk About Artificial Intelligence in Your Office, with Ben Apple | Spotify | LTN  #543: What Lawyers Need to Know About the Ethics of Using AI, with Hilary Gerzhoy Apple | Spotify | LTN  #546: Unlock Law Firm Growth: AI marketing Secrets with Karin Conroy Apple | Spotify | LTN  Links from the episode:  https://www.lawmatics.com/    Have thoughts about today's episode?

What if you could cut your deal analysis time by 80%? Joel Bechtel was drowning in broker documents. T12s in one format. Rent rolls in another. OMs that looked completely different from the last five he’d reviewed. After spending hours copying and pasting data into Excel spreadsheets only to discover a deal wouldn’t work, he decided to build AI deal analysis software to solve the problem. Chris Lopez sits down with Joel, a software entrepreneur who spent 18 years building tech companies before pivoting to focus on his real estate portfolio. Joel currently owns 20 doors and recently analyzed 90 multifamily properties across Columbus, Nashville, and Raleigh markets. His AI deal analysis software extracts data from broker documents and runs underwriting in minutes instead of hours. The numbers are striking. What used to take 1-2 hours per deal now takes 10-15 minutes. That’s the kind of efficiency that lets you actually find deals worth pursuing instead of burning out on spreadsheet work. In This Episode We Cover: The Gmail hack Joel uses to automatically filter broker leads into a dedicated inbox for AI processing Why most investors waste hours on deals that will never work and how to filter faster How AI deal analysis software extracts data from T12s, rent rolls, and OMs automatically Current vs pro forma analysis and which variables actually matter when tweaking numbers The St. Louis deal that looked perfect on paper until due diligence revealed a critical problem How to sanity check AI results without adding hours back to your workflow Market metrics that matter including flood zones, fair market rents, and census data Why zero closings from 10 LOIs is actually normal in today’s market Joel also shares advice for investors who want to bridge into entrepreneurship, including why community and masterminds matter more than going it alone. Plus, why jumping from your W2 too quickly can actually hurt both your investing and your ability to get loans. Whether you’re looking to build your own AI deal analysis software or just want a smarter system for filtering multifamily opportunities, this episode breaks down the exact process.

Shopping should be simple. But for most of us, it’s turned into tabs open everywhere, conflicting reviews, and that lingering doubt that you’ve either missed a better option or paid more than you needed to. We walk through how we actually use AI tools when we’re buying something, from working out what problem we’re trying to solve, to comparing products without getting lost in specs and opinions. We also dig into some of the most frustrating parts of shopping, like finding the best price, checking historical lows, tracking price drops, and hunting down discount codes without trawling scammy websites. Neo and I discuss: How AI helps at the very start of the buying journey by clarifying what problem you’re actually trying to solve Using AI to compare products side by side, including features, pricing and versions Why AI is especially useful for complex purchases like electronics and appliances The differences between Perplexity, Google AI mode and ChatGPT when researching products How to use AI to find the best price and check historical price lows Setting up scheduled prompts to monitor prices and alert you when they drop Using AI to search for discount codes without trawling scammy or spammy websites Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn and via inventium.ai, where he leads Inventium’s AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams.

We start with updates in the Nancy Guthrie case, including a new reward for information tied to Savannah Guthrie's mother, before diving into the disturbing implications of dumping Epstein documents without accountability. New revelations connect powerful elites to Epstein, including resurfaced emails, Woody Allen's inner circle, and commentary from Bill Gates' ex-wife. The show then turns to explosive political developments: a federal judge blocking Haitian removals heads to the Supreme Court, while Democratic figures spark outrage with rhetoric seemingly justifying violence against ICE agents. Shocking protest footage includes racial slurs hurled at a Black ICE agent and a protester openly threatening murder. The culture war continues with Billie Eilish facing backlash over “stolen land” comments at the Grammys, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson applauding anti-ICE rhetoric, and mounting criticism of celebrity hypocrisy. Finally, we dive into Candace Owens' latest controversies, the Daily Wire publicly blasting her, escalating personal attacks involving Erika Kirk and her family, and why many believe Candace has crossed a line — prompting calls for accountability from Catholics and conservatives alike. 00:00 Intro01:00 AI Scott Adams Account & Ethics of Using AI to See Loved Ones03:55 Nancy Guthrie Case Update & New Reward10:40 Jill Biden's Ex-Husband Charged With Murder13:40 Epstein Files Fallout: Emails, Elites & Media Silence27:00 Judge Blocks Haitian Removals — Case Headed to SCOTUS28:30 Dem Rhetoric on ICE Sparks Outrage & Violent Protests41:45 Sen.
