Doing it by filming himself on a walk is another, and Jay Schwedelson has the engagement numbers that explain why it lands. There's also a chatbot running with zero AI inside it, a European rulebook that just went live, and the first real look at who ChatGPT is actually serving ads to. ㅤ Best Moments: (00:16) LinkedIn leadership is now openly modeling the content format the platform rewards. (01:20) The engagement lift walk and talks pull on personal pages versus company pages. (01:45) Someone got fed up with chatbots and built one with no AI behind it at all. (03:17) The EU AI Act is in effect now, and the labeling rule people are panicking about is not what they think. (04:30) New university research on which ChatGPT users are getting hit with the most ads. (05:45) Why a luxury beekeeping retreat for creators was the worst possible move for OpenAI.

He spent years running demand gen at Google before founding twelfth, and he walks Jay Schwedelson through why every channel feels harder right now, why AI is quietly making it worse, and what still breaks through when your buyer is drowning in slop. The last stretch gets unexpectedly personal, too. ㅤ Follow Steve Armenti on LinkedIn, where he shares his ABM and demand gen content. He also invites listeners to look at signal-based one-to-one experiences, deeply researching prospects and then curating real experiences for them, as a way to bring more human back into marketing. ㅤ Best Moments: (03:32) Why "ABM for startups" is a contradiction, and how the market got flooded with services that are just cold email in disguise (06:37) Reply and open rates dropping fifty plus percent year over year, and the real reason everyone's numbers are sliding (08:00) Jay on the strange math of companies obsessing over angry unsubscribes while ignoring the people who just raised their hand (09:05) The channel isn't the problem, the intention behind it is, and what "value creation" actually looks like in practice (10:51) Steve's Account Progression model, plus using CallRail to catch the after-hours missed call that tells you something's happening (14:15) "First draft marketing" and why dumping a transcript into AI with no context is a horrible idea (16:33) Losing yourself in your career as your identity, and the reordering that happens when you hit a milestone birthday

See how it all works, get started at knak.com/demo ㅤ A $14 million settlement over two email subject lines just rewrote the rules for anyone who has ever written "last chance" and then quietly extended the offer a few days later. Jay Schwedelson walks through what happened with Costco in Washington state, why the settlement is scarier than a verdict would have been, and the small wording shift that keeps your urgency honest. There is also the matter of August quietly deciding how your entire Q4 goes, which almost nobody plans for. ㅤ Best Moments: (00:31) The two Costco subject lines that ended up costing $14 million (01:59) Why settling instead of fighting is the part marketers should actually worry about (02:41) You cannot invent a deadline that was never real (03:00) The wording swap that turns an extended offer into a brand new one (04:23) August is when Q4 gets decided, not October (05:30) Planning themed webinars beat trend themed webinars by 21%

Cheapest webinar registrations of any paid channel, the highest show up rate, and a groups play that works when every Slack community you ever joined went dead. Also settled on air: whether it is normal to eat dinner at the airport in the city where you actually live. ㅤ Best Moments: (02:13) Facebook, the forgotten platform, and why tuning it out is costing you (02:42) The underpriced attention sitting on company pages and Reels shared over from Instagram (03:29) Why Facebook Groups are the one community play that still actually works (04:38) What Meta quietly launching a standalone Forum app tells you about where the energy is going (05:43) The dad hat brand running low spend ads to grow a group instead of a landing page (06:56) The lowest cost per registration and the highest show up rate across every channel they buy

There is also a pet ostrich named Elda, which is not a metaphor. ㅤ Best Moments: (02:24) Why the optimize-everything lifestyle is finally collapsing under its own weight (04:41) The uncomfortable truth behind saying you work hard for your family (05:47) A 30-minute core values exercise that becomes a compass for every big decision (09:45) The real test of your priorities is whether your calendar actually reflects them (14:45) Busy people are usually hiding from the exact thing they are afraid of (15:39) When multitasking is harmless and when it absolutely is not
