The internet is about to become unrecognizable.

While you've been focused on which chatbot writes better emails, the entire foundation of online business is shifting beneath your feet. This week alone: Google launched "Personal Intelligence" that knows your Gmail, Photos, and YouTube history. Anthropic released Claude Cowork. X turned into the world's largest deepfake generator. And Google quietly dropped the Universal Commerce Protocol—which could kill the checkout page entirely.

In this episode, we break down the 7 stories reshaping AI and what they mean for your business. You'll discover:

👉 Why Gemini's new Personal Intelligence makes traditional "AI optimization" nearly impossible to track—and what to do instead.

👉 How Claude Cowork lets AI work with your local files (and why one YouTuber lost 11GB of data using it wrong).

👉 The Cling Motion Control update that lets anyone create real-time deepfakes—and why trust online is about to collapse.

👉 Google's $1B Apple deal that's designed to starve OpenAI of growth (not just win users).

👉 Why the Universal Commerce Protocol could be the "death of the website" for e-commerce.

👉 X's AI image editor generating 70x more deepfakes than the entire dark web—with zero guardrails.

"AI will do to you what the internet did to your parents."

Watch now to understand what's actually changing—before it changes without you.

ChatGPT isn't the best AI tool anymore.

While you've been using ChatGPT out of habit, the AI landscape has completely shifted. OpenAI's CEO called a "code red" as ChatGPT's market share collapsed from 87% to 65% in just 12 months. Meanwhile, Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude have quietly become the tools serious business owners actually use. The gap is only widening.

In this episode, we break down exactly what's changed and what you should be using instead. You'll discover:

👉 Why Gemini now offers dramatically better value for $20/month than ChatGPT (and it's not even close).

👉 How Claude Code is turning "vibe coding" mainstream, letting non-technical people build real tools and automations.

👉 The Wall Street Journal experiment where Claude ran a vending machine—and gave away a PS5 for free.

👉 Why Anthropic is making half of OpenAI's revenue with a fraction of the users (and what that means for you).

👉 The AI skills stacking up right now that will separate winners from those left behind.

2026 is the last year to catch up.

Watch now to find out which AI tools actually deserve your time—and which ones are coasting on hype.

You're using ChatGPT all wrong.

Until now, using ChatGPT meant endless copying and pasting between your apps. A newly released feature, MCP connectors, shatters those limitations, transforming ChatGPT into a super agent that can connect to nearly any application, service, or website. This allows it to access information, talk to your apps, and take action anywhere, fundamentally changing how you work.

In this episode, we’ll show you exactly how to set it up, even if you're not a technical person. You'll discover:

👉 How to connect ChatGPT to your favorite apps like Notion, Stripe, and LinkedIn to automate your daily tasks.

👉 The different methods for setting up MCP connectors, from official integrations to using services like Zapier.

👉 Practical, real-world use cases you can copy to streamline your business, from generating reports to analyzing sales data.

👉 A head-to-head comparison with Claude's similar capabilities and where ChatGPT still falls short.

👉 How to leverage other new powerful features like Projects, Branching, and the advanced Codecs model.

Stop wasting time with manual data entry.

Listen now to unlock the true potential of ChatGPT and turn it into your personal super agent.

Is traditional SEO dead? And is "ranking" on ChatGPT and other AI chatbots the new frontier for traffic and sales?

Many businesses are seeing their search traffic decline, while a new, highly-lucrative source of customers is emerging from AI-driven conversations. But how do you tap into this new channel? And what happens when AI starts giving out outdated or just plain wrong information about your brand?

In this episode, we're joined by Steve Toth, founder of the AI-focused agency Notebook.agency, to break down the new world of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). We explore the real-world opportunities and the hype surrounding AI-driven traffic.

👉 Beyond Keywords - Winning "Deal-Breaker" Questions: Learn why optimizing for specific, high-intent customer questions within LLMs is more powerful than traditional keyword ranking.

👉 On-Page & Off-Page GEO: Discover how to structure your website content for optimal AI retrieval and how to correct misinformation about your brand on external sites like Reddit.

👉 The "Truth Alignment Framework": Steve unveils his agency's process for auditing and correcting how AI represents a brand online, ensuring your key features and selling points are accurately reflected.
