Customer Reviews
Lively conversation and I always learn something!
I’m a data scientist quite removed from the marketing world, but I am so happy this pod somehow came across my radar! I learn about new things every episode. And I love the dynamic hosts.
Quite grating
So tired of hearing marketing bros nerd out over AI, and say it’s not taking jobs in the same breath as they talk about how AI agents can act as a college intern or a stock image selecter or proofreader. Those were once people’s jobs lol. While it must feel nice to feel like your job is safe, as someone who lost my marketing job in December after perfectly automating every aspect of the customer journey with chat bots email and SMS, I’m here to tell you we should all be giving AI way more of a side eye and we should be looking out for each other way more or else we won’t have an industry to work in in an decade.
GBT Show
Can you please go over how you think about and would build a GBT in real time? Also, show how you’d use Zapier to make it even better.
Thank you!
