The Deep Gripping Reality

In this episode, I sit down with Ginger Jansen and discuss the role of personal ethics and values in business. We look at Stoicism and practicality while drilling into actionable tips any professional can use. It's about to get deep!

This is not a drill! The Bots are here, people. 

After a few recent experiments with BingAI and ChatGPT, I wanted to share some insights and predictions so I invited a friend on to discuss.

In this episode of The Deep Gripping Reality Podcast, special guest Ginger Jansen joins me to discuss the State of AI- where it is now, where it's likely headed, and what you need to know to thrive using it!

For decades, one name has dominated the search world. Google. Like Rocky Balboa in Rocky III, Google has successfully fended off bids of many would-be world champions with ease. However, much like Clubber Lang in the same movie, one company has slowly been building its core strengths. Biding their time until the perfect opportunity to strike presented itself. Who is this unlikely challenger? Microsoft's very own, Bing. Thanks to a recent $10 Billion super infusion into AI technology, Bing is poised to strike and pose a real challenge to Google's reign. Only one thing is certain, folks: it's about to get deep! 

For my first guest of 2023, I chose someone who has had an immeasurable impact on me personally and professionally. 

What's it take to build a modern marketing strategy? Does technology matter in content production? How powerful is community?

Though I myself am not much of a Magic The Gathering person, I am always impressed with people and their efforts to drive the future of their passions. I truly believe that The Dark Stream represents the future of live-streaming gaming! Check it out!
