In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez breaks down why marketers are uniquely positioned to become the next wave of “vibe founders” (and intrapreneurs) as AI makes the non-marketing parts of building a business dramatically easier. He also covers what’s new with Google/Gemini personalization, why most marketers still overestimate their AI skill level, and a viral AI-enabled scam story that signals where trust online is headed.
