AI Podcast Episodes

The latest episode of T3 Talks features a conversation with Brandon Eldridge, head of the Pikes Peak Small Business Development Center, and Jonathan Liebert, Executive Director of the BBB of Southern Colorado. Together, they share valuable resources for small businesses in Colorado and dive into the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.

Listeners will hear discussions on why "busy" can be the enemy of strategy, how to effectively use AI tools to work on your business rather than just in it, and why the upcoming Blaze AI Summit at the Innovation Hub is a must-attend event. The episode also touches on lighter topics, such as whether AI can truly be considered "cute" and if it is cuter than a chimpanzee, as well as why despite what your chatbot might say you are probably not the chosen one.

This episode offers a mix of practical insights, future-focused conversation, and a bit of humor that small business owners and tech-curious listeners alike will appreciate.

 The latest episode of Business Digest Radio features Jonathan Liebert, CEO of the BBB of Southern Colorado, in conversation with host Dirk R. Hobbs about the growing impact of artificial intelligence on nearly every industry. Liebert explains why it is critical for business owners, operators, and staff to understand how AI will affect their work and how quickly the technology has evolved over the past year.

The conversation highlights how AI tools are now affordable and accessible for almost any business category and why companies should prepare for the shift from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). AEO delivers richer, more direct answers than traditional search engines and could soon reshape how businesses connect with customers online. Listeners will also learn how AI and AEO can reduce redundant tasks, improve workforce performance, and create new opportunities when used strategically.
