Why video podcasts are the new business asset

So now, I'm helping marketers dig themselves out of the marketing attribution trap we built... for ourselves. Recently, I gave a keynote at...
How in the world did I end up consulting on AI? I'm a marketer, right? It's because I don't want to gatekeep the superpowers I feel like I've obtained from using AI. Here's where it starts: 15+ years of marketing and sales operations, 25+ operating businesses, and 4 years digging deep into AI have put me in a pretty good position to consult on this topic.
