Two consultants catch up about being overwhelmed by an AI rollout at a company, frustrations with executives and marketing teams who “don’t get AI,” and using tools like Manus, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and GPT while managing hallucinations by cross-checking results. They discuss getting banned from commenting on LinkedIn, skepticism about C-suite compensation, and how credentials and name-dropping (Techstars, Harvard, paid awards) affect perceived credibility. The conversation covers podcasting for learning and lead generation, building a Skool-based funnel with free courses/templates and a paid membership that includes a GEO course, and shifting client expectations that AI should make work instant while someone still has to “drive” it. They debate AI’s economic impact, joke about trades like plumbing, and end with an upcoming interview for a successful pet food brand with poor digital assets.00:00 Catching Up on Work00:08 AI Rollout Chaos00:41 LinkedIn Ban Drama01:04 CMO Pay Reality Check01:31 Name Dropping Credentials01:47 Fake SEO Awards Rant02:12 Maslow and Marketing Clarity03:03 Podcast Goals and Work Style04:18 Clients vs AI Speed Pressure05:30 Skool Lead Magnet Funnel06:57 Claude Daily Planning and Hallucinations07:32 AI Job Fears and Ethics08:38 Doomsday Predictions and Trades09:29 Is AI the Biggest Revolution10:01 Manus Hype And Tools10:12 Dan Martell Recommendation10:46 China Blocks Acquisition11:07 What AI Agents Do11:28 Cross Checking AI Answers12:43 Manus Doing The Impossible13:16 Tech Help For A Client13:55 Riverside Vs Zoom Recording14:32 Harvard Cred And Humility15:27 Reddit Micro Learning16:26 College Not Worth It17:08 Networking Over Education18:01 Ergonomic Chair Obsession19:08 Wrapping Up And Next Interview
