You’ve poured hours into your content. You’ve followed all the tips. But the clicks aren’t coming, the sign-ups are slow, and you’re wondering what you’re missing. Sound familiar?

If your audience isn’t engaging, it’s not always the algorithm or even your offer.

In this episode of Amplify Your Authority, I take a light-hearted, Indiana Jones-style approach to a topic that usually feels dry and stressful: your marketing funnel.

We’ll head into the metaphorical jungle together to find the four “stones” every potential client needs to cross for a successful journey.

This episode is part story, part strategy, and 100% practical.

What You'll Discover in This Episode

• A story-based breakdown of the four essential parts of a funnel
• The four “magical stones” every audience must experience to complete their journey: invitation, threshold, risky leap, and reassurance.
• The importance of visibility (“the lantern stone”) and how to build visibility without chasing viral trends
• Simple ways AI can help you troubleshoot your funnel and make each step more effective

Remember Hotmail? AOL? Or, the movie“You’ve Got Mail”?

If you were around in the '90s, you probably remember what seemed to be a trend: email.

It marked a shift in how we connect, communicate, and do business.

At the time, email felt optional. Now, it’s non-negotiable.

AI is having the same moment right now.

It’s already inside the tools you’re using. The only question left is: Are you using it with intention?

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing why an AI-first mindset is no longer optional for solo business owners who want to stay relevant and profitable.

What You'll Discover in This Episode:

• Why “business as usual” doesn’t work anymore
• How trust, clarity, and connection have replaced volume tactics
• Practical ways AI is already integrated into the tools you’re using
• What it means to adopt an “AI-first” mindset
• The five types of AI users—and which one you are
• Three critical areas solo business owners must master to stay competitive

"If you can imagine it, you can probably figure out a way how AI can help," Dan Sanchez.

Technology is evolving fast, and smart marketing with AI is leading the charge.

We all hear about AI sometimes with excitement, sometimes with a little (or a lot) of trepidation. Is it a magic time-saver? Is it just more tech overwhelm?

In this episode, featuring guest Dan Sanchez (AI Marketer), we explore what smarter AI marketing looks like today: the tools and mindset that help you stay relevant with your audience.

Here's What You'll Discover in This Podcast

✅ How “aha” moments (and a few bumpy roads) led Dan to double down on AI for business growth—and why that matters for you.

✅ Real-life ways to use ChatGPT for everything from brainstorming content to getting help with personal projects (yes, it can help with your weeds!).

✅ What an AI agent REALLY is (hint: it’s not just a fancy chatbot), and why the next wave of tools could be like having a team of digital interns.

✅ Simple steps to build momentum with AI—Dan’s “custom GPT” approach and where to level up next, whether you’re new or experienced.

✅ Why speed, systems, and embracing a little tech “hardness” can still be your edge in this fast-moving world.

About Dan Sanchez
Dan is an AI marketer, consultant, and creator with a passion for diving into the latest technological innovations.
