What if customers could find your business before they even knew what to search for? 

Joe Downs and Peter Swain unpack how AI is rewriting discovery, why 60% of Google searches now end without a single click, and why that's the biggest reset for small business since the internet itself. 

Peter runs a live head-to-head between his AI assistant and Google (spoiler: Google gets embarrassed), explains GEO, the new frontier of marketing with AI,  and shows how hyper-niche businesses, from ballerina-to-astronaut courses to a retired teacher's tutoring side hustle, can now out-rank corporate giants. 

Plus: a free AI tools stack and a downloadable two-page playbook. 

If you've ever felt the marketing game was rigged for the big guys, this episode hands you the sling and five stones.
