AI is changing everything in marketing… but not in the way most people think.

In this episode, we sat down with Dan Klein to break down what’s actually happening behind the scenes as AI floods the market with content, and why so many businesses are starting to blend together instead of stand out.

We talk about the real opportunity most companies are missing: using AI to increase efficiency while doubling down on what makes you human.

Because the truth is… AI isn’t your competitive advantage anymore. It’s the baseline.
