Every marketer has asked themselves the same question: Is AI coming for my job? In this episode of Leader Generation, Host Tessa Burg and David Berkowitz, Founder of High Caliber AI and the AI Marketers Guild, explore how marketers can start viewing AI as a collaborative tool instead of a threat to their careers. David talks about his latest work, The Non-Obvious Guide to Using AI for Marketing, and some of the unconventional ways companies are using AI to their advantage. He and Tessa delve into how AI can unlock opportunities that are unique to a company and brand, the role of AI results in reputation management and the value of experiential knowledge.
What if the very challenges dividing our society could become the force that brings us together? In a thought-provoking episode of Success Beneath the Surface, Brett Howroyd, President of ActOne Group, shares a counterintuitive perspective on how economic pressures are creating unexpected unity across generations in the workplace. As the leader of a 65-year family-run staffing organization, Brett has a unique vantage point on workforce dynamics. His observation? When different generations face common struggles with affordability – not for luxuries, but for basic necessities like housing and education – traditional divides begin to dissolve. “A common enemy unites you,” Brett explains. “In this case, the enemy is not a person. It’s the economic situation people find themselves in.” This shared challenge, he argues, is fostering collaboration and understanding that transcend typical generational differences in technology, communication styles, or work preferences.
Today, we’re diving into what can only be described as an AI cold-calling adventure gone slightly sideways – in the best possible way. Chris Beall, CEO of ConnectAndSell, recently attempted to create and test an AI-powered cold calling coach using ChatGPT. What makes this episode particularly entertaining is that Chris couldn’t hear the AI’s responses during his live demo, but somehow still managed to nail it. It’s like watching a master jazz musician improvise without being able to hear the band – and somehow staying perfectly in tune.

Fr. Dominic gave us something to think about for the week. Advent is a time to prepare ourselves for Christmas, to remember that Christ coming into the world is meant to drive out darkness. During these four weeks of preparation, we can join in His work by pushing back the darkness in our own lives. What can you do this Advent to drive out the darkness, even a little? Think of where it is coming from: your screens, your phone, relationships with patterns of negativity or sin? Choose one area where you will push back the darkness and stop letting it enter your life — and in your own small way
We hope you enjoy this playlist of our favorite episodes of the week.
