I look forward to this podcast every week. I can’t say that about other marketing podcasts I’ve listened to over the years. It offers a great variety of topics and guests and a thoughtful mix of well-known names and people I haven’t heard of before — all sharing their perspectives on AI. I appreciate all you do, Michael Stelzner, to keep the show interesting and relevant for the people who rely on you for timely information and best practices that will make a difference in our careers!

I’ve listened to the Social Media Marketing podcast for almost 15 years. This podcast is just as good. Michael works to bring value to every podcast and throughout each podcast. Truly amazing work! Because of this podcast, I’m able to leverage AI tools more and more each day personally and professionally. What I’ve learned from this podcast has increased my work output and, perhaps as importantly, increased my overall enjoyment a a marketer and as human trying to navigate through life. I highly recommend it!

I look forward to every episode. No matter the particular subject, there is extremely useful information to take and apply to our business. Michael does an outstanding job helping to distill highly technical information down to bite size pieces and ideas. Thank you!

I spend most of my day patrolling our recreation areas. It’s a perfect time to attend AI university. Appreciate all the hard work. Michael puts into this podcast. Keep up the good work.

It’s been so hard to learn AI on top of doing my regular client work and running my business. I am so glad I discovered this podcast. It gives me the tools and the insider advantage using AI. I am walking away with every episode, eager to implement eager to play and find myself Excited about marketing again.

I love how the host makes sure to break down complex and novel concepts, so that they are not intimidating to grasp for the average user.

With various guests on each episode, this has been one of the best ways I have found to learn more about the use of AI in terms of marketing. This is a must listen for anyone involved in social media, or anyone who cares about utilizing technology in the future.

Thanks for putting so much into each episode. I get unbelievable value from each one and I take tons of notes. Thanks for breaking through the barriers as I explore AI for my business. I am a fan and I’m considering joining the society.

AI Explored’ has been a go-to podcast for me since its very first episode. Each installment delivers clear, concise, and easy-to-understand content that makes even the most complex AI concepts feel accessible. Whether you’re an expert or just starting to dip your toes into the world of artificial intelligence, this podcast has something for everyone. What I love most is how relatable the episodes are—there’s no jargon overload or overwhelming technical details. Instead, it’s presented in a way that sparks curiosity and keeps you coming back for more. I learn something new every time I listen, and it’s always exciting to see how AI impacts so many aspects of our lives. If you have even the slightest interest in all things AI, ‘AI Explored’ is a must-listen

One of the struggles facing marketers today isn’t just to learn AI, but to know where to even start. AI Explored consistently shares great guests with amazing insights into how marketers can apply AI into their roles today, and is a terrific guide for taking AI into tomorrow.

I look forward to listening every week to get key takeaways I can try out or implement right away.

This podcast is amazing and so informative and interesting. I do wish we could rate each episode and guest because this week’s guest was a major turn off. He seemed to be there just to drone on about his Philippine team. He sounded like a typical bro marketer (not a compliment). He may have eventually shared something useful but I stopped listening before he reached that point.

Every show is loaded with actionable content and tasks. Cannot believe what I learned in just a few days of binge listening to Michael and his guests. Thank you, Michael!

A few months back I tried searching for podcasts that discuss the latest and strategic uses for AI for entrepreneurs and couldn’t really find any podcasts that fit that description. The other day I searched again and found AI Explored and it feels like I’ve found an old mentor (I used to listen to Mike’s other podcast!) The information shared is SO TIMELY and perfect for business owners. I’m replaying and replaying all relevant episodes, soaking up everything I can. PLEASE keep up the awesomeness, the deep dives. I’ll be sharing this podcast with anyone who will listen. I especially found the following episodes so extremely useful and would love deeper dives into these topics. Building Custom GPTs: Personalizing an Al Assistant (SO HELPFUL!!!!!) I had no idea about this and I use chatgpt everyday! Using Al to Speed Content Creation Using Al to Be a Better Content Creator Creating an Al Assistant: How to Get Started Prompt Engineering Fundamentals Thanks for bringing such great content to us, it’s so awesome!

I learn something new in every episode. Highly recommended!

The AI Explored podcast has been a must-listen! I was already nerding out about AI daily, but the tips I picked up from your interviews have elevated my game even more!

It is so great to hear real, focused, foundational conversations around the power of AI in marketing and business growth. I’m loving this podcast!

Michael Stelzner did it again! He is providing the 101 and beyond of AI for me and others to get on board as we write history. Thank you for making this podcast. Thank you, thank you thank you. As a one woman marketing team this information is invaluable, and I am using it in my everyday professional life. Thank you.

Michael continues to show us why he is at the forefront of this and other marketing areas. Consistent quality content with lots of “meat on the bone”. My go to source for information and actionable steps. Cannot recommend enough. B

WOW!!!! so glad I found this podcast earlier! Amazing guests! Amazing and practical information. This is my new ‘Go To’ podcast to apply AI to marketing and working on my business. keep up the amazing work!!!’

If you listen to Mike Stelzner, you are a marketer. If you are a marketer, you need to understand AI. He’s dedicated several episodes on the SMM podcast, but things are changing so fast it’s a service for him to put together a podcast dedicated to using AI in marketing. Who better to blend the topics? With his connections and reputation, Mike Stelzner is the perfect host for this show. Love the first few episodes.

Whether you’re fully bought into the whole AI revolution, or sitting on the sidelines (and curious), this podcast will not only help you have an intelligent conversation about AI, it’ll inspire you to think differently about what all the fuss is about in the first place. If your job involves communicating in the 21st century, this is essential listening. And, it’s brought to you by one of podcasting’s best interviewers, Michael Stelzner.

Michael has an incredible ability to tell a compelling story. Most people would do well with that one skill. But he takes it a step further by using his ability to draw good stories out of the people he's interviewing. I already love the show after one episode, and you can bet I will be listening to every one that follows. Have already recommended it to my network of AI enthusiasts.

One thing is clear that Mike Stelzner doesn’t care about social media anymore but won’t give up his company. So instead he used it for his first idea of the horrible Web 3.0/NFT nonsense where he was posting about “slurp juice” as if that was something to be taken seriously and not a con in and of itself. Now he has moved on to AI without realizing that this is just like when numbers were fudged in the “pivot to video” era of social media, where the increased belief that there is a need for AI will ultimately lead to his target audience of marketers losing their jobs because companies will mistakenly believe AI will do better. What he is championing is the downfall of his audience. At one time, Social Media Examiner and Social Media Marketing World were so important to me, but its founder is susceptible to being grifted (to this day he is blaming the collapse of FTX as opposed to accepting most if not all of Web3.0/NFTs were fraud) and unfortunately his mastermind group must also be made up of other grifters just trying to see what they can cash in on now that the screws have tightened on social media marketing compared to the early wild west days. I get the desire to chase something new, but it was a huge mistake to drag the good thing he had going into it and not just let that exist on its own unsullied. And please don’t misconstrue me as a troll or even a hater like Jay Baer would say you should hug. I’m someone who believed in what he was doing but his wandering eye has caused irreparable damage to the company he built.

Just finished the first full episode and I’m very excited for the next one. As a one-person marketing team for our company, AI has a lot of promise, but it is also changing so fast that it’s difficult to keep up. Thanks Michael for helping to cut through the noise and make the AI powerhouse a little less daunting for all of us.

Very informative podcast good points across-the-board. Will continue to consume. The basic information, which is very helpful for people who are getting into AI.
