  • Great first episode

    As an AI enthusiast, I had high hopes for Brian Piper’s new podcast, and the first episode exceeded even them. The structure of the show is spot on. It opens with a fantastic AI use case you can implement right away, then swings into a rollicking interview with marketing heavyweight Mark Schaefer. It’s like a mini marketing course in a half hour podcast. Can’t recommend highly enough.
