AI is here to stay, but we still have some thoughts about how it’s being used.  The massive uptick in people using AI on a daily basis is an amazing phenomenon that needs to be paid attention to.  It is improving people’s lives to the “nth” degree, but is it also making us lazy and uninspiring?  Tune into this episode where Mike & Blaine talk about some of the best and worst use cases for AI, and learn why Mike thinks most AI start-ups are unoriginal “copycat” apps.

Sometimes, it’s accidental, and sometimes, it's on purpose, but the strategy you choose for your product dictates how you introduce it to the market. The real difference between pull strategy and push strategy is that you can feel it. You feel the market pulling you in versus you pushing your message and product to anyone who will listen.  In this episode, Mike & Blaine dive into how companies get their product in front of consumers.

You have probably sat on the couch, saw a product, and thought, “I should have thought of that” or “I had that idea once.”  Yep, regular people, every day, take a chance to create a simple solution to a persistent problem. Most of the time, they didn’t set out to change the world, it just happened.  In this episode, Mike & Blaine delve into the ideas that were odd but became iconic.

For some time now, value pricing has been all the rage in many industries. So, we took a dive into the art of value pricing, where you are focused on the customer experience, not the costs associated with the sale.

We all know how it feels when someone either goes way over the top to deliver or drastically falls short.  You’re either emotionally charged or pi**** off. In this compelling episode, Mike & Blaine delve into the psychological effects of 'underpromising and overdelivering' on customers. They discuss how exceeding expectations can significantly enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty, but the opposite is also just as true.  In either case, this is bound to be an interesting conversation on transforming the customer experience.

It seemed like everything got a fresh new start when the calendar turned from December to January.  Everything but our never-ending list of things to get done. In fact, the endless grind of goals, pricing changes, policy adjustments…on and on.  It just feels like your uphill battle gets harder with each step. The hill may look small, but the shifting sand takes a ton more effort to get to the top. In this episode, Mike & Blaine talk about the massive chore of making things happen.

It seems like wherever you look, there is an article or claim that the author knows a secret that you don’t.  I don’t know how many times we have clicked on an article holding so much promise and been disappointed.  Ugh, it’s another clickbait headline!  Just before the podcast, we googled cash flow secrets and came up with millions of articles.  In this episode, Mike & Blaine ponder if there really are that many unknown secrets!
