For experts, authors, coaches, consultants, and knowledge-based founders, it can become one of the most useful authority assets in the business.In this episode, Ian sits down with Dennis Langlais, founder of Codie Dog, former professional BMX athlete, podcaster, author, and AI builder, to talk about why books still carry so much authority, how podcasts create unexpected relationship leverage, and why AI is changing what experts can build around their ideas.Dennis shares how writing a book changed the way people perceived him, why he sees books and podcasts as “cheating in marketing,” and how a book can become a rich source of context for AI-powered marketing, content, and business systems. The conversation also gets into Dennis’s journey from extreme sports to podcasting, his experience being invited onto Grant Cardone’s show, the “burn the boat” mentality behind going all-in, and how AI is disrupting traditional websites, CRMs, marketing tools, and custom software.This conversation is for experts who know they have valuable ideas, but want to turn those ideas into authority, leverage, relationships, and systems that can actually compound over time.===============Dennis’ Links:- Website: https://codiedog.com/- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/codiedoginteractive- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dennis.langlais.75/- YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@codiedoginteractiveRankingMastery: The Cause Of Accomplishmenthttps://www.amazon.com/RankingMastery-Accomplishment-Dennis-John-Langlais/dp/B0CPCJ44HP===============- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-gatzke/- Schedule Free Blueprinting Call: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/implement-ai-blueprinting===============Highlights:00:00 — Intro Setup00:29 — Why Books Matter03:19 — Writing Clarifies Ideas04:45 — Books as AI Context07:47 — Cause of Accomplishment10:30 — Letting Opportunity In11:25 — Podcast as Connection14:39 — Grant Cardone Story16:22 — AI Book Companions19:27 — From Broke to Podcasting25:25 — The 12-Hour Podcast27:10 — 500 Podcast Lessons30:02 — The Skill of Podcasting33:04 — Books Unlock Leverage34:03 — Why Podcasting Stuck38:29 — Burn the Boat41:28 — AI Disrupting Cody Dog46:18 — Custom AI Systems49:18 — Where Value Is Now55:29 — Build It Your Way57:50 — The Bright Side of AI59:55 — How to Reach Dennis01:00:47 — Billboard Question
