Money and Mindset We Learn as Kids with Money Coach Kris (291)
In this episode, I sat down with Money Coach Kris to explore a side of financial literacy that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough: our emotional relationship with money. Kris shared how her 25 years in the financial industry led her to develop the idea of financial attachment styles, showing how patterns like saving, overspending, stress, and risk aversion can often be traced back to what we learned about money in childhood. We talked about how early those beliefs begin, why wealth is so often misunderstood, and how entrepreneurs and employees can experience money very differently depending on their sense of control, responsibility, and security.We also dug into what parents can do to help kids build healthier money habits from the start. Kris explained why simple conversations at home, involving children in family financial decisions, and using allowance as a learning tool can make a lasting impact. We wrapped by looking at where AI fits into all of this, especially in financial decision-making, and why access to information still doesn’t replace human judgment, emotional awareness, or understanding your own tolerance for risk.

Is a Smaller Agency Mightier in the Age of AI? (290)
In this episode, I sat down with Audrey Kwan to unpack what the future looks like for small agencies in the age of AI. We explored why leaner agencies may have an advantage as AI removes busywork, reduces overhead, and makes teams more efficient. Audrey made the case that specialization is becoming more important than ever, because clients still need strategic partners who understand their industry, speak their language, and bring real-world insight that generalist agencies and AI alone can’t replicate.We also talked about the risks agencies face if they stand still. From graphic design to platform-specific services like YouTube marketing, we discussed how AI is changing the nature of agency work rather than eliminating it outright. A big theme throughout the conversation was the need to make smart strategic bets: keep the work that pays the bills, use AI to improve profitability, and at the same time prepare for where the market is heading next. We closed on an important point: the agencies that win won’t just use AI well—they’ll combine specialization, creativity, and cultural fluency to deliver marketing that stands above the growing flood of mediocre content.https://www.linkedin.com/in/kwanaudrey/https://audreyjoykwan.com/ Looking for a podcast guest?

Get More Reviews & Remove Bad Reviews (289)
In this blast-from-the-past episode of Digital Marketing Masters, I revisit one of our earliest conversations on a topic that still matters today: online reviews. We break down why reviews feel so personal for business owners, what you actually can and can’t do when a bad review appears, and how to tell the difference between a frustrating negative review and something that may violate a platform’s terms of service. I also add a modern update on how review platforms now rely heavily on automated systems, and how understanding the platform’s reporting categories gives you the best chance of getting an inappropriate review removed.We also dig into practical ways to earn more positive reviews without gaming the system. The core message is simple: deliver genuinely great service, go above and beyond when problems happen, follow up with customers, and ask for feedback consistently. From email and text follow-ups to review funnels and recovery strategies for unhappy customers, this episode is packed with actionable advice for protecting your reputation and turning reviews into a real marketing asset.

Latest AI News & USA AI-Jobs Poll with Matt and Mahek (288)
In this episode of the Digital Marketing Masters Podcast, I (Mahek) sit down with my cohost Matt Rouse to unpack what actually matters in the latest wave of AI news and how marketers and business leaders can respond without the doom or the denial. We tackle job displacement fears, why short‑term panic and long‑term complacency both miss the point, and how to audit your own role for tasks that AI will augment versus those that still require distinctly human judgment. We also dig into understaffed sectors like radiology where AI has amplified capacity and earnings, and we question common narratives about “AI content vs. human content,” arguing the real divide is useful vs. boring. We then break down Anthropic’s latest model and its leap in autonomous capability, why mixture‑of‑experts matters, and how compute bottlenecks and data center investments shape what reaches the public. From there, we get practical with “mixed reality” content production; combining real assets with AI to level the playing field for SMBs. Why this hybrid approach often outperforms all‑or‑nothing stances. We close with a candid look at automation vs. AI (not the same thing), the inevitability of AI as a core tech layer, and a call for marketers to test, measure, and iterate instead of relying on unproven instincts.Resources mentioned: METR’s autonomy benchmarking chart; Ethan Mollick’s long‑form coding test with Claude; examples of mixed‑reality creative workflows for faster, higher‑quality content; and ongoing conversations on LinkedIn/Substack about evidence‑based AI marketing.

Creatives in the Age of AI with Mahek Anam (287)
In this solo episode, I (Mahek Anam) speak directly to creative directors, marketers, and brand builders navigating the AI wave. I share why so much AI-generated content feels average and how the real differentiator now is creative direction and taste. Rather than shrinking the creative role, AI expands it by handling execution so we can double down on vision, specificity, and standards. I walk through a simple three-question framework to apply before opening any tool. Who is this for (be specific), what’s the actual point (not just the topic), and which tools in what sequence. Your outputs belong to your brand and audience, not to the internet’s average. The takeaway: when everyone can generate, the people who can direct will stand out. AI can help you make more, but you still have to know what’s worth making.Listen in for practical mindset shifts on taste, tool selection, and creative leadership in the age of AI, so your content stops sounding like everyone else’s and starts sounding unmistakably like yours.

3 Tips for the Age of AI in 2026 with Matt Rouse (286)
In this solo episode, I break down three realities of AI in today’s workplace and what they mean for your career or business. First, I explain why loudly positioning yourself as anti‑AI can hurt your job prospects when most leaders are prioritizing AI‑literate talent to drive productivity. Second, I unpack common misconceptions, that AI is more than chatbots and simple automation. I reveal why many companies aren’t seeing ROI: the doorman fallacy (misunderstanding what people actually do in their roles) and mounting token costs from poorly designed automations. I share how we avoid those pitfalls by upskilling experts and using AI to supercharge their work instead of replacing them. Third, I highlight where AI is creating demand, not taking jobs, like healthcare and small business, showing how AI‑assisted professionals deliver better outcomes and handle more work, which fuels growth and hiring. I wrap with practical guidance to future‑proof your skills, understand AI agents and automation at a high level, and position yourself to thrive in the evolving economy.Let's go, people!

Serving Your Community in the Age of AI with Ben Albert (285)
In this candid, curiosity-first conversation, I sit down with Ben Albert, host of Real Business Connections and founder of the GrowGetters community, to explore where AI, community-building, and genuine relationships intersect. We reflect on why the fundamentals that worked ten years ago still work today: serving people, building trust, and showing up with care and intention. From Ben’s evolving “custom cartoon” branding lesson to the power of thoughtful, physical gifts, we unpack how AI changes not just costs but meanings and how taste, context, and human touch remain irreplaceable. We also get tactical: when to draw the line between AI and human contact, why AI chat can be great for ecommerce support but terrible for cold outreach, and how automation frees you to deepen relationships. We tackle echo chambers and misinformation in the AI content era, the importance of fact-checking, and how to keep curiosity at the center. Trust is built by people through service, timing, and taste.https://realbusinessconnections.com/speaker/https://www.skool.com/growgettersonly/about Looking for a podcast guest?

Advertising in the Age of AI with Sean Sweeney Part 2 (284)
In part two of our conversation with Sean Sweeney, we dig into the messy, real-world intersection of AI, advertising, and the future of work. From whether brands should disclose AI-generated creative to what “authenticity” even means in marketing, Sean and Matt openly disagree, and that’s where the gold is. We explore the legal and practical angles of AI disclosure, the double standards between AI and past production techniques, and how fast-evolving tools are reshaping creative teams. We also zoom out to the bigger picture: which jobs are most at risk, why upskilling is non-negotiable, and how the “age of AI” might elevate live performance and human connection rather than replace it. If you’re leading a brand or building your career, this episode is a field guide to preparing for the dip and coming out stronger on the other side.Highlights: AI in ad creative and whether consumers care, the liability lens for disclosure, authenticity vs. effectiveness in marketing, double standards across AI/CGI/music, job loss and creation (and the gap in between), the urgency of upskilling, real-world automation from warehouses to robotics at home, and why human-centered experiences could thrive in an automated economy.
