Podcasts about using ai

This week we start by discussing our daughter's summer geometry crash course, and I forgot how much I hate proofs. I also tell the story of getting stuck at the Salt Lake airport with the Portland Thorns professional soccer team, which hit me with a wave of nostalgia for my old Ultimate Frisbee team days, followed by Kristin's late-night ladder saga trying to fix a chirping smoke detector on our vaulted ceiling while I was useless from the airport. Then we get into something a little more serious: the whole Hank Green AI situation, where he admitted to using ChatGPT to help write video scripts and got a wave of backlash from his own audience. I get into my personal line in the sand with AI, which is that I don't want it anywhere near my creative work, and we touch on something Hank said that I hadn't really considered before: that interacting with LLMs might be giving people unhealthy dopamine hits. We talk about where this all might be headed, why creativity feels different from other tech advancements, and why I think this whole AI conversation deserves more nuance than a 60-second hot take. Takeaways: Interacting with LLMs may trigger dopamine responses similar to social interaction, which could make them more habit-forming than people realize. AI tools can be genuinely useful for research and administrative tasks, but using them to generate creative content removes the human decision-making that gives creative work its meaning. The backlash Hank Green received for using AI in his video scripts sparked a broader conversation about where the line should be drawn between helpful tool and creative shortcut. Historically, people have expressed similar fears and backlash toward new technologies, from the printing press to photography to typing, though AI raises unique concerns around creative authorship. AI models are trained on human-created content, so widespread reliance on AI to create that content going forward could gradually dilute the human originality models depend on. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In a world drowning in AI content, why do humans still only buy from humans? In this episode of the Measure Success Podcast, I sit down with Robb Fahrion, Co-Founder and CEO of Flying V Group, to discuss how trust and authenticity win in the AI age, why he signed a high-rent office lease when everyone else went remote, and what small businesses must do to get found as search shifts from Google to AI. We cover: • Why he bet on an office and community when everyone said go remote • How AI broke traditional SEO — and what actually wins now • Why video is the #1 way to get cited in AI-powered search • Using AI agents to catch red flags in your data before they become wildfires • How coaching high school football shaped his approach to accountability Watch the full episode and ask yourself: In a world full of AI content, what makes your business unmistakably real?

Marketing attribution is getting messier as AI changes how buyers discover, research, and evaluate brands. Emily Popson, SVP of Marketing at CallRail, explains how marketing leaders can connect their strategy to revenue even when traditional first-touch and last-touch attribution no longer tell the whole story. Lori Jones and Emily explore a hybrid approach to marketing attribution that combines software-based data with self-reported attribution, conversational intelligence, AI, and customer signals. The goal is not to find one perfect attribution tool. It is to build a clearer picture of the buying journey and show how the overall marketing strategy influences customers and revenue.And don't forget!

Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast with returning guest Dan Zitofsky, an author, entrepreneur, retired law enforcement and military veteran, health advocate, and full-time real estate investor with 36 years of experience in the business. Dan has done it all - fix and flips, buy and hold, single family, multifamily, capital raising - and is now one of the most respected voices in seller financing and self-financed notes, having realized that the best seat in real estate investing is being the bank. Dan shares how he transitioned from house flipping to a passive income model built on self-financed notes and long-term single-family rentals, why he believes most people fail simply because they never take action, and where he sees investors getting seller financing and subject-to deals dangerously wrong right now. He also opens up about his new focus on teaching financial literacy to families, helping them retire early. In this episode we discuss: ✅ Why single-family rental investing is not dead (and how to still make it profitable) ✅ The right way to structure seller-financed notes as an actual business ✅ Subject-to deals and creative financing: where investors are getting it wrong ✅ Lessons from over 4,000 real estate transactions and 36 years in the business ✅ Using AI as a tool without losing your personal brand and relationships + more Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced investor working in residential, commercial, land development, wholesaling, or fix and flip, this episode is packed with hard-won lessons on due diligence, raising private money the right way, and building a real estate business that lasts decades instead of one that burns out in a few years.   Connect with Dan: www.zitofskycapitalmanagement.com/ Dan Zitofsky on Instagram Dan Zitofsky on Facebook Dan Zitofsky on YouTube Dan Zitofsky on LinkedIn   Become a real estate investor with Dan Zitofsky Facebook group --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Podcast@NickNickNick.com Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers

For over 30 years, Jim Kwik has coached Hollywood, professional athletes, political leaders, and Harvard University on how to learn faster and think sharper — and in this episode, he tackles the question sitting underneath so much of modern life: what happens to your mind muscle when every cognitive task gets handed off to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini? The good news: your brain, like your muscles, adapts to the demands placed upon it at any age or stage. Jim explains why frustration and failure aren't obstacles to brain training, shares his personal top ten list of brain-building habits, ranging from racket sports to language learning and volunteering.  He also delves into an MIT study examining the impact of ChatGPT and introduces his own framework for using AI as a genuine cognitive partner, rather than a replacement for human brain power.

Jeremy got off a treadmill stress test two hours before recording this — a family health scare sent him down a rabbit hole of chest pains, family history, and a doctor who laughed at him (kindly). That kicks off a wider conversation with Jason about the tools we use to chase longevity: EKGs that are, technically, 200-year-old technology; wearables that ping you at 2am about your heart rate; and AI check-ins that will tell you "good job, champ" no matter what you fed it. They get into a real news story about "longevity fixation syndrome," a new experimental weight-loss compound Jason is already trying to hunt down, and why AI health influencers might be exploiting the exact anxiety these tools are supposed to relieve. It closes with a genuinely wild story: Australian scientists remote-controlling live cockroaches to deliver emergency medication to people trapped in collapsed buildings.Key Moments00:01 — Jeremy's same-day stress test and the family heart scare that triggered it01:56 — Jason on EKGs: diagnostic technology that's essentially 200 years old02:25 — Jason's own 2021 EKG scare and the "widowmaker" scarring that turned out fine04:23 — How often EKGs actually get it wrong, and why nobody questions the tech05:48 — "Longevity fixation syndrome": the real clinical term for optimization gone too far08:58 — Fake AI wellness influencers and the manufactured fear they're selling11:28 — TOFA: the new experimental weight-loss compound Jason is already trying to source16:50 — "Anticipatory medicine": the AI healthcare opportunity investors are actually excited about20:12 — "Dongevity": men's health marketing, insecurity, and Dr. Facebook's fake diagnoses24:47 — Jeremy's weekly AI check-in with his wearable data, and what happens on a bad week27:26 — Where this is actually heading: AI glasses that could auto-medicate you28:33 — Cyborg cockroaches: Australian scientists' "Paraborgs" for disaster medicine

What will artificial intelligence mean for the future of real estate and land brokerage? In this episode of The Landowner Insider, Kasey Mock sits down with Robby Butler, Managing Director of Tucker Capital Group and Owner/Partner of Y Street Capital, and Ben Meadows, Financial Advisor with U.S. Capital Wealth, LLC, to explore how AI could change the way land and real estate are researched, evaluated, marketed, bought, and sold. Rather than simply asking whether AI will replace people in real estate, they look at how technology could give landowners, buyers, investors, and brokers access to more property information—and the ability to analyze it faster than ever before. From property research and due diligence to identifying opportunities, risks, and highest-and-best-use potential, the conversation explores how AI could change decision-making throughout a real estate transaction. They also discuss why experienced agents and brokers may become more valuable as technology improves, what happens to real estate businesses that fail to adapt, and how the role of the broker could evolve as AI becomes more capable. In this episode: How AI could change real estate and land brokerage Using AI for property research and due diligence Identifying opportunities and risks in land transactions How landowners could evaluate highest-and-best-use potential What AI means for buyers, sellers, and investors Why experienced agents could become more valuable How technology could expose weak real estate business models The changing role of land brokers How AI could influence real estate investing What the future of property transactions could look like Whether you're a landowner, investor, buyer, seller, land broker, or real estate professional, this conversation offers a look at how AI could reshape the way property decisions are made.

This week: Bill Gates published a new essay warning that the AI industry is crossing the safety lines it set for itself, and that nobody is preparing for what's coming. At 70 years old, he also uses AI more than most people half his age, and he finds it enthralling, as you'll hear in highlights from our interview with Gates about the memo. Along the way this week, we dig into his three proposals: new institutions for managing the transition, a category of jobs reserved for humans, and a tax on the use and purchase of AI and robots.

This isn't the first time we've discussed AI on the podcast, but things are changing fast. Nearly everyone, pastors included, has seen the advice and marketing about how AI will transform their work. But while the tools keep getting better and faster, how we should use AI in pastoring and preaching remains an open question with complicated ethical considerations. In today's episode, Pastor Jim and I explore how we're actually using AI, and where it can help and where it can hurt.

In this episode, hosts Frank La Vigne and Andy Leonard sit down with Lawrence Snapp, CEO and board member of TrustScale, an innovative AI trust and verification platform. Together, they explore the crucial topic of trust in artificial intelligence—how hallucinations from AI models can spiral out of control and why it's essential to catch them early.

Your brain is either getting stronger or getting weaker. There is no neutral, gentlemen. Today Jim Kwik breaks down why comfort, convenience, and cognitive offloading to AI are quietly making men mentally soft, and what it actually takes to build what he calls "cognitive reserve" which is the difference between a man who stays sharp, independent, and capable as he ages and one who doesn't. We get into why peace comes from capacity, not comfort, why self-trust is built by keeping promises to yourself instead of anybody else, and Jim's personal framework for using AI to sharpen your thinking instead of replacing it. If you feel like your focus is slipping, your discipline softening, or your identity too wrapped up in a job title that could be taken from you tomorrow, this episode might be the reset.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Shift from Achievement to Fulfillment 03:51 Avoiding Modern Distractions & Media Outrage 06:00 Developing Mental Sovereignty in the Age of Information 08:20 The Danger of Cognitive Surrender to AI 11:35 Comfort Crisis and the Value of Struggle 14:01 Building Human Intelligence Through Challenge 18:44 How Modern Conveniences Weaken Mental Muscles 21:33 Navigating Difficult Conversations & Growth 25:50 Building Self-Trust by Keeping Promises 28:08 Character, Wealth Transfer, and Raising Resilient Kids 31:00 Understanding Cognitive Reserve and Brain Health 35:21 Cognitive Offloading vs. Building Real Intelligence 37:40 The B.U.I.L.D.

Jim Kwik on Memory, AI, and Why Natural Intelligence Beats Artificial Intelligence Your brain is quietly outsourcing itself to AI, and you won't notice until it's gone. This episode gives you the exact framework to use artificial intelligence as a tool for brain optimization instead of a crutch that erodes your memory, focus, and critical thinking. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jim Kwik, one of the world's leading experts in memory improvement, brain optimization, and accelerated learning. For more than 30 years, Jim has served as the brain coach to professional athletes, political leaders, business magnates, and Hollywood icons, with corporate clients including Google, Nike, SpaceX, and Harvard. He hosts the Kwik Brain podcast with over 100 million downloads, reaches 200,000 people annually through live keynotes, and just wrapped his 14th annual Beyond Biohacking Conference with 5,000 attendees in Austin. Jim overcame a childhood brain injury that left him labeled "learning disabled," and turned that struggle into a mission he calls "no brain left behind." They break down the MIT study showing that people who use AI to write and think score worse on memory and comprehension than those who rely on their own brains, and why that matters for anyone serious about longevity, human performance, and anti-aging. Jim introduces the concept of digital dementia and cognitive sovereignty, explaining how nootropics, neuroplasticity, and functional medicine can support your biology while AI still requires you to keep your own hardware sharp. They cover the MEDS Rx framework for brain optimization: meditation, exercise, diet, sleep optimization, and relationships, plus why mitochondria, metabolism, and inflammation from processed food directly impact your cognitive output. Jim also shares how his own kids use AI as a tutor rather than a replacement for thinking, and why sleep inertia and the first few minutes after waking set the tone for your entire day. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking their own brain, longevity, neuroplasticity, brain optimization, supplements, and building a Smarter Not Harder approach to human performance in the age of AI. You'll Learn: Why the MIT study found AI users had weaker memory and comprehension than people who did the work themselves What digital dementia and digital deduction are, and how they quietly erode your cognitive muscles How to use AI as an augmented intelligence partner instead of a replacement for critical thinking The MEDS Rx framework for brain optimization: meditation, exercise, diet, sleep, and relationships Why the first few minutes after waking determine your focus and mood for the entire day How spaced repetition and AI-assisted learning can lock in new skills and behavior change faster The HUMAN framework for staying irreplaceable in a world run by algorithms Thank you to our sponsors! - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - Our Place | Upgrade your kitchen with Our Place today.

What if the biggest threat to your wealth isn't how much you make—but what you were never taught about keeping, protecting, and multiplying it?Marvin Mitchell returns to Inside the Vault with Ash Cash to break down the wealth strategies most people never learn in school, at work, or from the traditional financial system.After more than 20 years as a financial advisor, Marvin says the biggest shift is not always learning something new—it's unlearning the financial habits that keep people retirement rich but cash poor.In this episode, Marvin breaks down the difference between a debtor, saver, and wealth creator; why your money can't grow beyond your mindset; how wealthy people use leverage instead of constantly liquidating assets; and why high earners can still struggle with lifestyle creep.He also opens up about receiving a $1.3 million tax bill and says that after investing in high-level tax expertise, he was able to reduce the bill to under $200,000. Then the conversation turns to AI.Marvin says his coaching business generated $12 million without a single U.S. employee—using AI and overseas team members to keep payroll low while scaling operations. He explains why entrepreneurs should learn tools like ChatGPT, Grok and Perplexity, and why AI should be treated as an amplifier for your knowledge instead of just a shortcut. Marvin and Ash also discuss mentorship, real estate tax strategies, trusts, estate planning, infinite banking, protecting wealth across generations, and why the answer to your next level may not be “how”—it may be “who.”Learn more from Marvin: Instagram: @marvinmitchellofficial TransformYourWealthChallenge.comInside the Vault: @insidethevault InsideTheVaultShow.comHost: @iamashcash IAmAshCash.comABUNDANCE IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.Join Ash Cash and a community focused on building wealth, increasing income, strengthening your mindset, and creating a more abundant life:TheAbundanceCommunity.comTIMESTAMPS00:00 – AI, leverage & the wealth rules nobody teaches 02:17 – Welcome to Inside the Vault 03:23 – Marvin returns after the viral infinite banking episode 04:50 – Who is Marvin Mitchell? 05:48 – What people need to unlearn about money 07:13 – Retirement rich but cash poor 09:01 – Debtor, saver or wealth creator? 10:06 – The 3 money identities 11:05 – Opportunity cost & making money work multiple times 12:06 – Lifestyle creep 12:30 – Budget vs. spending plan 13:14 – Foundation, core & speculative wealth 13:48 – Emergency funds, insurance & protection 14:17 – Building the “boring” core 15:02 – Why YOU are the best investment 16:21 – Can you inherit wealth and keep it? 17:01 – Your money cannot grow beyond your mindset 18:35 – “If you want more, be more” 19:27 – How the IRS can destroy wealth 20:18 – Marvin's $1.3M tax bill 21:41 – Cutting $1.3M to under $200K 22:17 – What schools and jobs don't teach you 23:30 – Why Marvin believes in investing in mentorship 24:00 – The $80 paycheck that changed his thinking 25:10 – $100K mentorships and million-dollar returns 26:03 – The parable of the talents 27:23 – Why the master was the real wealth creator 28:27 – The answer isn't “how”—it's “who” 29:18 – How to avoid fake gurus 30:29 – Look at the fruit AND the infrastructure 31:59 – Should you pay for mentorship? 33:00 – Marvin's mission to become the “Black Dave Ramsey” 33:58 – The Transform Your Wealth Challenge 34:13 – Wealthy people leverage instead of liquidate 34:34 – Real estate tax strategies & cost segregation 35:16 – How the 5-day challenge works 42:54 – Giraffes, turtles & protecting big dreams 44:24 – How to take advantage of the wealth transfer 44:32 – Learn AI 45:02 – Using AI as employees 45:20 – $12M business with no U.S. employees 45:43 – “AI is not here to take your job” 46:42 – AI is an amplifier 47:07 – Marvin's AI business-planning prompt 48:08 – Is becoming your own bank still relevant? 48:49 – Revocable vs. irrevocable trusts 50:11 – Spendthrift, special needs & charitable trusts 54:05 – Why Compass Retirement is becoming Compass Wealth 55:05 – “Abundance is your birthright” 55:55 – Connect with Marvin 56:23 – Join the Transform Your Wealth Challenge 57:04 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What if the best way to build a successful law firm is to stop doing things the way law firms have always done them?In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson Mutrux is joined by Jonathan Merel, founder of Merel Family Law, for a wide-ranging conversation about technology, culture, leadership, and what it actually takes to grow a law firm.Jonathan shares how he has built a 20+ lawyer family law firm by questioning some of the legal industry's oldest assumptions. Tyson and Jonathan discuss the opportunities and ethical concerns surrounding AI, why law school still leaves lawyers unprepared for the business of law, and why grades and credentials do not necessarily predict who will become a great lawyer.They also dig into Jonathan's approach to building a firm people actually want to work for. From creating a modern office environment and investing in personal brands to hiring an in-house divorce coach, developing future leaders, and giving employees room to grow, Jonathan has intentionally built around the people inside the firm.The goal isn't simply to grow a bigger law firm. It's to build a firm where great people can build great careers, clients receive a better experience, and the business can continue growing without losing the human element that made it successful in the first place.What You'll LearnHow Jonathan is using AI without losing the human side of practicing law.Why law school may not prepare lawyers for the business of running a firm.Why personality, emotional intelligence, and business development can matter more than grades.How Jonathan built a stronger culture by doing things differently from the firm he left.Why investing in your people can become one of the biggest drivers of law firm growth.Timestamps00:00 — Using AI without losing the human side of law08:46 — Why law school needs to teach the business of law13:20 — What actually makes a great lawyer29:24 — The bulldog vs. the fox in family law33:02 — Leaving a firm to build something better39:22 — Building a people-first law firm culture42:44 — Why Jonathan hired an in-house divorce coach63:22 — What still drives Jonathan after 17 years in businessConnect with JonathanLinkedIn Website

When a senior expert walks out the door, years of judgment, pattern-recognition, and relationship capital often vanish with them. Dr. Bruce Dorey, founder of Jes-AI and author of Lift: Passing the Craft, and Digital Bell specializes in stopping that silent knowledge leak. Drawing on his decades in HVAC, sales engineering, and leadership, Bruce shows how AI can systematically capture “tribal knowledge” from conversations, documents, and deals so that future teams can still benefit from the hard-won lessons of today's top performers. Bruce also shares the idea of the Digital Bell, a modern, AI-powered way to snap out of autopilot and daily “drift.” Influenced by his years living in the Middle East and observing how the call to prayer regularly reset people's focus, he explains how leaders and professionals can build intentional, AI-assisted check-ins throughout the day. Instead of being yanked around by social media and email, you can design digital prompts that re-anchor you and your team to core values, long-term goals, and the key insights that matter most day after day, meeting after meeting. Bruce also pulls back the curtain on Jes-AI, a system built for sales organizations (especially in HVAC and technical fields) that turns messy, scattered data quotes, proposals, invoices, CRM notes into a strategic advantage. Jes-AI analyzes historical deals to reveal which clients actually buy, which ones never convert, who the true decision-makers are, and which internal experts you should involve on complex projects. This is AI as a coach and strategist, helping teams prioritize the right opportunities, build smarter playbooks, and stop wasting time on low-probability deals all while keeping sensitive data locked inside the company's own Microsoft environment. We go deep into succession planning, mentorship, and preserving institutional wisdom. Bruce explains why traditional corporate mentoring often fails and how the master–journeyman–apprentice model from old guilds (anchored in the Dunbar number of ~150 meaningful relationships) is still the most effective structure. Using AI to transcribe real mentoring conversations, extract the “nuggets” of hard-won expertise, and turn them into reusable playbooks, companies can ensure that when senior engineers, salespeople, or leaders retire, their knowledge doesn't retire with them. Bruce also shares a powerful personal story about recovering from a spinal injury and medication dependency, and how structured routines, human connection, and AI-assisted reflection helped him avoid drift and reconnect with what truly matters. https://youtu.be/J6sApODuMZo?si=0PT3edi5IA21wEus If you're worried about losing key people, watching your team operate on autopilot, or sitting on years of underused data in your CRM and documents, this conversation is your roadmap. You'll learn how to use AI not as a gimmick, but as a multiplier of human judgment, craftsmanship, and long-term thinking, so your organization can keep growing even as your experts move on. Quotes: “AI is kind of like the smartest guy in your office sitting with you and telling you what to do or what has worked in the past.” "Part of what we call tribal knowledge is just relationships; who do we know, and when we work with this person or this company, things get done."  "What I recommend is that you start capturing these insights, and then you remind yourself, and you remind your team, and the team reminds itself of what's important on a daily basis."

In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany Ward, founder and CEO of Human Creative, the company behind Certified Human Content, a service that live-monitors the entire writing and creative process to prove a piece of work was made without generative AI. We get into just how much of what we read today (emails, resumes, social captions, even "motivational" posts) is quietly AI-generated, and why that's eroding trust across education, journalism, hiring, and the creator economy. I share my own story of getting caught plagiarizing my senior year at UCLA, long before AI existed, and we talk about how much easier, and more damaging, that shortcut is today.

Most business owners are asking how AI can save them time. Chick-fil-A Operator Jon Harmeling is asking a different question: What are you going to do with the time AI gives back to you?   In this episode of Franchise Secrets, Erik Van Horn sits down with Jon Harmeling to discuss how he's using AI to automate repetitive administrative work while focusing on something much bigger than efficiency: leadership.   Jon explains how he uses AI to better understand and invest in his 88 team members, identify employees who may be overlooked, keep track of individual goals, and free himself from repetitive tasks so he can spend more time developing people.   They also dive into Chick-fil-A's unique Operator model, servant leadership, building a business that doesn't depend on the owner, experimenting with AI for employee scheduling, Claude Co-Work, and why business leaders need to start taking AI seriously.   Jon's central message is simple: Managers focus on tasks. Leaders focus on people. AI can help get the tasks done—but what you do with the time it gives back may be far more important.   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Building a business that doesn't need you 04:01 The Chick-fil-A visit that changed Jon's life 09:02 How the Chick-fil-A Operator model actually works 13:20 Servant leadership and building the right culture 18:23 Working on the business vs. working in it 22:30 Can a Chick-fil-A Operator take a vacation? 26:56 How Jon is using AI in his business 28:46 Managers focus on tasks.

B2B marketer confidence jumped this year. But when researchers asked finance leaders the same questions, only 12% said marketing's financial impact holds up under pressure.This week, Elena and Rob talk with Daniel Sills of NewtonX and Dagmara Szulce of the ANA about their new Confident B2B Marketer study. They unpack why marketer confidence is rising, and why finance and revenue leaders aren't yet convinced. The group breaks down the vocabulary gap driving that disconnect, and how confident marketers grew brand investment in a year when most companies cut back.Topics covered: [03:00] Key findings from the Confident B2B Marketer study [04:00] What's driving marketer confidence up this year [09:00] The vocabulary gap between marketing and finance [12:00] How confident marketers grew brand budgets under pressure [18:00] Marketing to complex buying groups and AI search [22:00] Using AI without losing your data foundation [26:00] The one move to make before your next budget cycle To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter. Resources: 2025 ANA and NewtonX Confident B2B Marketer Study: https://www.newtonx.com/article/confident-b2b-marketer-2026/Daniel Sills' LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielpsills/Dagmara Szulce's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dagmaraszulce/NewtonX Website: https://www.newtonx.com/work-with-us/?utm_campaign=50131755-PER-PC-General-Podcast-Campaign-All-2026-01-01&utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Marketing%20ArchitectsANA Website: https://www.ana.net/ Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

If you think AI in your advisory practice means meeting notes, follow-up emails, and asking ChatGPT to write something for you, we need to talk. Because what AI can do inside of an advisory practice has changed dramatically—and I think most of us are still thinking way too small.AI for financial advisors has moved far beyond note-taking, meeting summaries, and drafting follow-up emails. In this episode, I'm joined by Gabe to explore the next evolution: agentic AI and what it looks like when AI stops being another piece of software you have to manage and starts operating more like a digital team member working behind the scenes. We dig into how Quinn has evolved, the difference between traditional AI tools and agentic AI, and the practical ways advisors are using automation to give themselves and their teams back significant time each week.The difference between AI tools and agentic AIWhat advisors can automate right nowHow AI can help you “scale thoughtfulness” with clientsWhere to start before automating your processesThe goal isn't necessarily to replace your team with AI. It's to stop spending valuable human time hunting down information, entering data, filling out forms, and handling repetitive administrative work so you and your team can focus on the work that actually requires a human. If you've been thinking about AI primarily as a note-taker or writing assistant, this conversation will give you a much bigger picture of what's already possible—and what could be coming next for your advisory practice.Register for The Efficient Advisor x Quin: Workflow Show and Tell HERE! Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

Welcome to another inspiring episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan welcomes creativity expert and acclaimed author Todd Henry for a deep dive into the world of creative leadership and navigating the pressures of producing excellent work on demand. Together, they unpack what it means to be a creative professional in agencies today—where creativity isn't just a job title, but a way of approaching problem-solving at every level, from design to client service to strategy. Todd Henry brings his wealth of knowledge, sharing how his journey from music to creative direction led him to discover the foundational disciplines behind sustainable and joyful creative work. They explore why it's essential to develop personal practices, not just to avoid burnout, but to consistently deliver compelling, innovative results—even in high-pressure, deadline-driven environments. If you've ever felt the exhaustion of "being creative on demand" or wondered how to keep your team inspired, you'll find Todd's five-part "FRESH" framework for creative rhythm both practical and energizing. Listen in as Drew and Todd discuss the importance of balancing stability and challenge as leaders, fostering healthy team cultures, and deliberately creating space for "unnecessary creation"—the projects and hobbies that stoke your creative fire outside of client demands. They also tackle the timely topic of AI, examining how agencies can leverage new technologies without losing the vital human touch that drives taste, discernment, and authentic connection in the work. Whether you're an agency owner, team leader, or emerging creative, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you foster braver, more authentic creativity in yourself and your team. By the end, you'll be inspired to bring more "verve" to your work, champion a culture of curiosity and courage, and ensure your agency's creative edge remains sharp in a rapidly changing industry.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREWhat if the biggest advantage your law firm has in the AI era isn't better technology, but being more human?In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson Mutrux is joined by Ryan Webber for a conversation about what an AI-powered law firm can realistically look like today. They explore where AI can eliminate tedious behind-the-scenes work, why fully AI-native firms may not be as close as some people claim, and how automation can actually create more room for meaningful client experiences.Tyson and Ryan also dig into the growing opportunity for law firms to stand out through personal branding, memorable in-person experiences, thoughtful gestures, and the kind of genuine connection AI can't replicate.The goal isn't to choose between AI and people. It's to use AI where it makes sense so you have more time for the work only humans can do.What You'll LearnWhy Tyson believes fully AI-native law firms still aren't realistic for most practice areas.How Ryan sees AI potentially handling up to 80% of the behind-the-scenes work in a law firm.Why AI-generated marketing still needs a human editor to make it sound and feel like you.How going more “analog” could become a competitive advantage as firms become increasingly digital.Why personal branding can help lawyers become the person clients actively seek out instead of relying entirely on SEO.How small, memorable touches can create stronger relationships with clients, employees, and prospects.Why the real opportunity may be using AI to eliminate mundane work so your team can spend more time creating human experiences.How law firms can use automation on the back end while making the front-end client experience even more personal.Timestamps00:00 — Can a law firm really become completely AI-native?02:42 — Could AI handle 80% of the work behind the scenes?03:43 — Why AI-generated marketing still needs a human touch05:02 — How much of the general public is actually using AI?09:21 — The “analog” opportunity law firms may be overlooking10:19 — Why personalized gifts can outperform traditional marketing12:05 — Creating memorable experiences for employees14:23 — Can AI actually capture someone's personal brand?17:23 — Building a brand people search for instead of relying on SEO21:11 — Why people still crave real-world, human interaction21:55 — Using AI to eliminate mundane work and create more time for people24:15 — AI on the back end, human connection on the front end25:30 — Turning an ordinary law firm visit into an experience

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Tim Heitman - full-time private investor, MicroCap Club member, and longtime Dallas Stars team photographer - for a wide-ranging conversation that started at the World Cup and ended up deep in the weeds of microcap due diligence. We break down how his time at Fidelity during the Lynch era and later at David Tice's Behind the Numbers shaped a simple but durable framework: understand the business first, the numbers take care of themselves. We get into his approach to management interviews - including why he tells CEOs to treat him like a new board member, how he uses Claude to grade his own interview performance, and why asking the jerk question is sometimes the most important thing you can do. We also cover why obsessing over models is the most common mistake smart new investors make, and what sports photography taught him about controlling emotions under pressure. We mention several companies during this conversation, and Tim is a current shareholder in Mama Creations, Noble Romans, and Innovative Foods.

What if surgeons could actually see through organs during an operation? In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Nicolas Bourdel, Founder and CEO of SurgAR, about how augmented reality is bringing patient-specific digital twins into the operating room. Using AI and computer vision, Surgar overlays CT and MRI-based anatomical models onto the live surgical view, helping surgeons see tumors hidden inside soft tissue during minimally invasive procedures. Nicolas shared why he believes surgery has progressed from digital eyes to robotic arms, and is now entering the era of the digital brain powered by intelligent software. We also discussed Surgar's expansion into kidney cancer surgery and its vision for making every surgeon an augmented surgeon.

In this episode, Shruthi shares how she's moved well beyond using Claude as a chatbot and has started treating it as a genuine business partner — delegating tasks, building custom skills, and creating systems that let her spend more time on the work only she can do. If you've been curious about AI but aren't sure how to actually integrate it into your workflow in a meaningful way, this episode is a great place to start. Three episode takeaways: There are different stages to incorporating AI into your workflow — and most people stop too early — Using Claude to answer a question or draft a caption is just the beginning. Shruthi walks through what it looks like to move from using AI as a chatbot to using it as a true assistant: one that handles mundane, repeatable tasks on your behalf so you can focus on the work that brings you joy. Custom skills are one of the most powerful AI features for food bloggers — Shruthi has built a library of Claude skills tailored to her business — including one that creates a virtual board of advisors to help her think through decisions. She breaks down what a skill actually is, what makes a good first skill to build, how to workshop and iterate on a skill until it does exactly what you want, and how she uses skills to write and refine standard operating procedures for her team. Understanding your AI tools makes all the difference — Knowing when to use Claude Chat vs. CoWork vs. Design vs. Code can save you a lot of frustration. Shruthi explains the differences between the tools, walks through how connectors like QuickBooks work, and shares why auditing your AI workflows on a monthly basis is key to getting the most out of the tools available to you.
