Quotes from this Episode:
“In the future generative AI world, humans are going to be planners and strategists and not executors of marketing campaigns.” – Rob May
“Whether you're using generative AI or not, these cycles for cranking out content have gotten faster.” – Rob May
“You still want to keep your brand voice the same, even if you're going to use slightly different words for a 20 year old college female than you might use for a middle aged man in a different part of the country.” – Rob May
“The great thing about generative AI is that you are going to be given a set of tools that can make you look bigger than you are.” – Rob May
“And so the way to think about it is there's this barrier and everything inside the barrier ChatGPT does really well and everything outside the barrier, it doesn't do very well.” – Rob May

NFTs Can Help Your Business Reach New Customers And Grow Your Brand

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Join Brad Friedman and Chris Madden as they chat about digital marketing, NFTs, cryptocurrency, and how it all can be used to grow your business.

Chris Madden is the Co-Founder of Matchnode, a digital marketing agency that uses strategy and advertising to help established brands that are shifting to digital. He also started Seabums, an NFT project focused on massively improving ocean health. They’ve donated over $144,000 to ocean charities so far. Chris and his team have worked on digital ad campaigns for the Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks, LendingTree, Indiana University, and New Balance.

As a career entrepreneur, before Matchnode Chris founded and/or led companies that produced music videos (CelebrateIt.TV), sold tickets for music festivals (CIMMfest), and built green homes in Costa Rica (Creaverde Group). (Chris met his wife at that film fest!)

Chris was a great guest with a wealth of insight on all things digital marketing, NFTs, entrepreneurship, cryptocurrency and web3.

In this Episode:

  • Chris talks about the various digital marketing needs of sports teams like the Bulls and the Cubs.
  • Chris talks about the need to think about all the various touchpoints in an integrated way.
  • Chris talks about his investments and work with NFTs and Crypto.
  • Chris talks about his NFT project Seabums, which is a project that supports ocean health.

Quotes from this Episode:
“We're forward thinking because we're small and agile, like it's too our advantage to be on the cutting edge.” – Chris Madden
“Well, I know that we wanna talk about what's going on right now. And right now the NFT projects are very, very slow.” – Chris Madden
“NFTs are essentially unique collectibles. They don't have to be collectibles, they can be arts, but collectible is the easiest way I think, mentally to compare it to something in the real world where it's just unique.” – Chris Madden
“So we donated so far over $144,000 to ocean charities. We have a really cool global community of NFT holders who would like to get out and help the environment, pick up trash near the ocean and on beaches.” – Chris Madden
“So I think it's, that agility is the key piece because you never quite know what's gonna happen.” – Chris Madden

Jumpstart Your Organic Content With AI And A Human Touch

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Join Brad Friedman and Kate Bradley Chernis as they chat about being a female CEO in a male-dominated world. And how to transfer the skills you learned being a line cook and a DJ into running a company that developed a product that helps businesses pump a ton of content out on social media.

Kate Bradley Chernis is the Founder & CEO of Lately – A.I. that learns which words will get you the most engagement and re-purposes video, audio and text into dozens of social posts containing those words.

As a former rock ‘n' roll DJ, Kate served 20 million listeners as Music Director and on-air host at Sirius/XM. She’s also an award-winning radio producer, engineer and voice talent with 25 years of national broadcast communications, brand-building, sales and marketing expertise. What she learned in radio about the neuroscience of music helps fuel Lately's artificial intelligence.

Before founding Lately, Kate also owned a marketing agency that got Walmart a 130% ROI YoY for three years.

In addition, Kate's appeared as a guest speaker on hundreds of sales, marketing and entrepreneurial podcasts and has led presentations for Walmart, Ericsson, SAP, National Disability Institute, IRS, United Way Worldwide, SaaStr, SXSW, Content Marketing Institute, HubSpot, Hootsuite, Harvard University, Columbia University, NYU and others.

In this Episode:

  • Kate talks about turning listeners into fans and customers into evangelists.
  • Kate talks about her crazy ideas getting Walmart 130% ROI YoY for three years.
  • Kate talks about female founders of startups vs. male founders.
  • Kate talks about dressing up as someone else when she was going to pitches.
  • Kate also talks about how Lately uses artificial intelligence to learn your brand, or individual voice.

Quotes from this Episode:
“I'm in the business of leveraging the human or turning listeners into fans or customers into evangelists.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
“Male investors will never say no to a female entrepreneur because they don't wanna say no to you specifically. But they'll always take the meeting, especially if you're good looking.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
“I've had one guy literally show me a series of cartoon penises during our meeting.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
“Now I've seen plenty of white guys just walk into a room. They've got no product whatsoever, no revenue, and they're raising $10 million.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
“The more you explain yourself, the less confident you sound.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
