Episode 048: All Things AI - Where Did AI Come From?

11/7/2023
AI is the reasoning or logic behind things - it’s a way of automating tasks that would normally require cognitive intelligence. AI innovation and development started in the 1950s, and progressed steadily until it stalled because of a lack of data. You can’t create vast neural networks and large language models without training data. This is where the internet and Big Data have accelerated the technological developments of the past 5 years - because the learning capacity of AI models exploded. Topics covered in this episode include… - Definition and perception of AI - Historical context and origins of AI - AI's impact on various sectors (e.g., internet, finance, logistics) - Evolution of automation in industries and homes - The role of AI in automation and cognitive tasks - The influence of Big Data and the internet on AI development ______________ 👀 Join the Black Friday VIP Waitlist: https://heymenekse.com/black-friday-waitlist 💻 Head over to my website: https://heymenekse.com 🪄 Find out more about Marketing Magic: https://heymenekse.com/marketing-magic-app 📱 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meneksestewart/ 📱 Instagram: https://instagram.com/menekse.stewart 📱 Facebook: https://facebook.com/menekse.stewart Meanwhile, hit subscribe, and see you tomorrow!

Episode 047: All Things AI - Productivity and Labour as Value

11/6/2023
When we use AI in a way that frees us from repetitive, monotonous tasks so we can spend more time pursuing creative things or subjective things that take more time, we end up with more space, energy, and profit to be able to work on the things we love with incredibly skilled humans - without the hamster wheel hustle. AI gives us the opportunity to do the things that are creative, unpredictable, human, messy, relational, and fun by cutting down the amount of time it takes to do the stuff that is outside our joy zone. Because logic doesn’t change the world. Topics covered in this episode include… - Fear and uncertainty of AI replacing human jobs - Potential misuse of AI for personal gain - AI's redefinition of labour as cognitive processing - Limitations of AI's ability to mimic human emotions and impulses - Benefits of AI in freeing up time for creativity and joy - The potential for AI to revolutionise how we work and live. ______________ 👀 Join the Black Friday VIP Waitlist: https://heymenekse.com/black-friday-waitlist 💻 Head over to my website: https://heymenekse.com 🪄 Find out more about Marketing Magic: https://heymenekse.com/marketing-magic-app 📱 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meneksestewart/ 📱 Instagram: https://instagram.com/menekse.stewart 📱 Facebook: https://facebook.com/menekse.stewart Meanwhile, hit subscribe, and see you tomorrow!

Episode 045: Overcoming the Fear of Rejection in Marketing

11/2/2023
When you focus on a niche, nuanced group of ideal customers - when your marketing speaks specifically to the people you know will be interested in, need, or want what you have to offer, there’s a consequence to it… … Rejection. Your job is to cultivate a sense of belonging for your customers and your ideal customers. Anyone can be an influencer. Not everyone can move past their own ego, and the negativity of many corners of the internet, and focus on creating the space their ideal customers need. But you can. Topics covered in this episode include… - The emotional impact of rejection and the importance of processing those emotions. - The necessity to prioritise the needs of your ideal customers over your own comfort in marketing. - The interpretation of rejection in business marketing as a sign that your marketing strategy is effective. - The distinction between personal rejection and rejection of your business's vision, goal, and message. - The role of a business owner in cultivating a sense of belonging for their customers. ______________ 👀 Join the Black Friday VIP Waitlist: https://heymenekse.com/black-friday-waitlist 💻 Head over to my website: https://heymenekse.com 🪄 Find out more about Marketing Magic: https://heymenekse.com/marketing-magic-app 📱 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meneksestewart/ 📱 Instagram: https://instagram.com/menekse.stewart 📱 Facebook: https://facebook.com/menekse.stewart Meanwhile, hit subscribe, and see you tomorrow!

Episode 042: From Content to Context - Understanding Your Customers

10/30/2023
So how do we find the context our customers are facing, and adapt our marketing accordingly? How do we build meaningful connections with our ideal customers? Well, we still need to create content - but as the means to a clear end rather than an end in itself. When we understand who our customers are, when we listen to the things they’re trying to do, the things they’re interested in, the things that are relevant to them and their lives, goals, and circumstances, we are able to make our marketing much more effective. After all, nobody likes a one-sided conversation - I call it Meredith Marketing, because the energy is very much “Pick me. Choose me. Love me.” Topics covered in this episode include… - The shift from content to context in marketing - The importance of understanding our customers' needs and desires - How to make our marketing more effective and impactful - The future of online courses in the context era of the internet ______________ 👀 Join the Black Friday VIP Waitlist: https://heymenekse.com/black-friday-waitlist 💻 Head over to my website: https://heymenekse.com 🪄 Find out more about Marketing Magic: https://heymenekse.com/marketing-magic-app 📱 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meneksestewart/ 📱 Instagram: https://instagram.com/menekse.stewart 📱 Facebook: https://facebook.com/menekse.stewart Meanwhile, hit subscribe, and see you tomorrow!
