  What If Authentic Travel Content Could Book Your Trip For You?

  Apr 8, 202632 minS0

  <p>Travel planning shouldn’t feel like a part-time job. We sit down with Eni and Dianni, the founders of Travel Spoken, to unpack how they’re turning authentic travel stories into bookable, voice-led itineraries that save time, money, and headaches. From their first trip together to the decision to become travel agents, they share how living the pain—spreadsheets, tabs, group chats, misleading photos—led them to build a social-first platform where real videos and voice notes map directly to flights, hotels, and activities you can trust.<br/><br/>We dig into the AI layer powering their approach: a voice-fi...

  From Listicles To Lead Gen: How Modern SEO Actually Works

  Mar 25, 202636 minS0

  <p>Search isn’t broken, it’s louder—and that changes how we win. Steven Schneider, founder and CEO of TrioSEO, joins us to break down why Google’s results feel crowded, how LLMs surface authentic takes, and why classic formats like listicles and “X vs Y” pages are quietly outperforming generic blogs. We get tactical fast: building tight topical clusters for a single ICP, writing honest competitor comparisons that LLMs actually cite, and using accessibility and voice search to widen the funnel while lowering risk.<br/><br/>Steven pulls back the curtain on his path from building and selling affiliate si...

  From Clickbait To Copilots: How Media Professionals Thrive With AI

  Mar 11, 202645 minS0

  <p>The ground is moving in media, but not the way the headlines scream. We sat down with journalist-turned-AI strategist Pete Pachal to map the real shifts: where models help, where they harm, and how to build resilient workflows that amplify human judgment instead of replacing it. Pete draws on years across top newsrooms to explain why reporting still hinges on trust and access, while research, formatting, and distribution are ripe for automation.<br/><br/>We compare models by job-to-be-done: ChatGPT for deep, iterative research with memory and web access; Claude for quick, clean drafts with minimal prompting. Then we...

  Feb 25, 202646 minS0

  <p>Reinvention isn’t a single leap; it’s a habit you can practice. That’s the thread running through our conversation with Monica Marquez—military brat, first‑gen grad, Wall Street and Big Tech leader, and now cofounder of Flipwork—who lays out a playbook for turning AI from a threat into a force multiplier for your most human work. We dig into how curiosity fuels smart pivots, why acculturation beats assimilation, and how to keep your voice while navigating very different company cultures.<br/><br/>Monica breaks down the identity shift at the center of AI adoption: moving from effort...

  How A 19-Year-Old Turned One Viral UGC Win Into A Scalable Marketplace

  Feb 11, 202633 minS0

  <p>What does it take to turn one scrappy UGC experiment into a creator marketplace serving 200+ brands and 15,000 creators? We sit down with Vidovo cofounder Elijah Khasabo to unpack the scrapes, pivots, and wins behind a creator-first platform built without venture funding and scaled through community trust.<br/><br/>Elijah rewinds to the moment a $50 video delivered 15 million organic views and changed his trajectory. From manually DM’ing early creators to getting stonewalled by 16 straight sales calls, he breaks down the turning point: pitching a half-built campaigns product that finally clicked with a brand worried about scale. We explore the sy...
