Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Get Recommended by AI: Being Found Isn't Enough
Q: What is the next thing once we feel like we've got a pretty good positioning down with AI?
Wagner says to diagnose the gap between the business's stated positioning and its online presence by asking AI to compare the positioning statement with the website, then align the business's content with its intended identity.

AI Landing Pages: From Project Plan to Published Page
Q: What's one of the biggest misconceptions you see about AI and marketing right now?

Q: What are the practical steps to start building an MVP using AI platforms?
Begin with identifying a friction point, distill it to an MVP, use Claude or a similar tool to draft a PRD, then experiment with vibe-coding platforms like Lovable or Base 44 to implement and test before publishing.
How to Build Your Own AI Apps (No Coding Required)
Q: What are the benefits of building a customized AI tool compared to traditional software stacks?
Custom AI tools can significantly reduce cost by replacing multiple subscriptions, empower you to create a 'market of one' solution, enable easy iteration, and allow you to change features as needs evolve without being tied to a vendor's roadmap.
