The “How to be found in the age of AI” episode was pure gold
Just got a chance to listen to the Oct 7, 2025 episode with Meg from Clapping Dog Media and it was so great! If you want immediate action items you can do right now to help improve the way you show up in AI search results, LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. Definitely helped me get a grasp on how I can work on setting myself up for success as AI continues to grow. Meg was so great at explaining this topic! Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 286 [REPLAY] It’s a “Yes” Until It’s a “No”

Q: What bottlenecks do you still face with this approach, and how do you manage them?

The approach is more time-intensive and requires more human interaction, but it reduces churn and increases lifetime value by turning more inquiries into repeat and referred business; the key is to start small and scale as you gain confidence and capacity.

Ep 286 [REPLAY] It’s a “Yes” Until It’s a “No”

Q: How do you handle a client who is clearly not the right fit after a discovery call?

We acknowledge the misalignment without blame, explain the value gaps, and offer alternative destinations or timing where possible to keep the door open for future collaboration, avoiding hard rejection where feasible.

Ep 286 [REPLAY] It’s a “Yes” Until It’s a “No”

Q: What was the turning point you experienced in Ashford Castle that led to the new process?

While in Ashford Castle, we identified the maladaptive gatekeeping in the intake and discovered that many 'no' responses could be reframed with better questions and clearer expectations. This postmortem helped us design a layered qualification system that educates clients and preserves excitement.

Ep 286 [REPLAY] It’s a “Yes” Until It’s a “No”

Q: What sparked the shift from 'no until it's a yes' to 'yes until it's a no' in your approach?

We reviewed past leads and reasons why they didn't convert, and realized that by re-framing the process as an opportunity to educate and align with the client, we could reveal flexibility and add value rather than simply gatekeep. This included rewriting intake, simplifying questions, and creating a more personal, expert-led follow‑up that still respects boundaries.

Ep 284 [REPLAY] How to Pitch Local Media

Q: How do you decide which media outlets to start with?

Start with outlets you actually care about and that serve your audience; identify four ideal outlets and tailor pitches to fit their format and audience needs.
