    The Only Way to Succeed Next Year (Thinks Out Loud Episode 444)

    As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one way to succeed next year. And, truth be told, it goes beyond success just in your business. I don’t mean to say that business success isn’t important. Of course it is. But, business success often follows from success throughout your life. Most successful people seem like they’re accomplished in many areas… because they are. They’re not focused solely on being their best selves only at work or only at a given hobby. It’s the idea of being your best self that’s at the heart of this conversation I want to have this time around. What does “being your best self” look like in practice? What can you do to achieve it? And how does it apply not only in business, but across many areas of your life? That’s what this episode of Thinks Out Loud is all about. Want to learn more? Here are the show notes for you.

    AI Is Not the Future. You Are (Thinks Out Loud Episode 443)

    I’m having a ton of conversations lately about how AI will affect the future of work and employment. Many of these conversations start off with questions like “What will AI do to my job?” And, of course, “What happens to my job in the future?” AI is a big deal. No two ways about it. But, here’s the thing: AI is not the future. You are. You have control of what your future looks like. Sure, AI could affect pieces of your life. It already does. But you have lots of say in terms of what your life looks like overall. How will that work? How can you ensure that AI plays the right role in your life? And how do you make sure that your job — and more importantly, your life — reflects the future you’re looking for? That’s what this episode of Thinks Out Loud is all about. Want to learn more?

    Google faces the most serious challenges in its history right now. And any stumble Google suffers also hurts your business.

    Is Google Doomed in 2025? (Thinks Out Loud Episode 440)

    Just a few months after its 26th anniversary, Google faces more threats heading into next year than ever. The rise of artificial intelligence provides users with an alternative way to search. Regulators, legislators, and courts are trying to break its market dominance. And younger consumers, especially, increasingly turn to social platforms to find the answers they need. And, yet, in the midst of these threats… Google just had the most successful quarter in its history. So, what’s the reality? Is Google doomed in 2025? Or is its continued position as king of the hill assured next year and beyond? Most importantly, how will whatever happens in the year ahead affect your business? I don’t think Google is doomed, far from it. But I do think their most likely responses to the changing marketplace isn’t necessarily in your best interest. If nothing else, you should expect the ongoing shift from organic to paid search to continue. And there’s no way that’s good for you. So, whether or not Google is doomed, what should you do as you move into 2025? That’s what this episode of Thinks Out Loud is all about. Want to learn more? Here are the show notes for you.

    The Future of Computing? Big Tech Earnings and the State of Digital Q3 2024 (Thinks Out Loud Episode 439)

    It’s time for Big Tech’s earnings once again. And, this time around there were some notable updates, particularly from Meta Platforms (i.e., Facebook) and Microsoft that hint at the future of computing — and, more importantly, the future of your customers’ digital experience. Meta, in particular, shared a compelling vision of where they’re looking to go as a company, not only for the next few quarters, but for the decade ahead. I’m not convinced they’ll succeed. But I’m impressed by the clarity of vision Mark Zuckerberg and Susan Li expressed. Microsoft, by contrast, has an entirely different approach to the market focused on enterprise vs. consumers. Two different visions, clearly expressed, and clearly focused on the future. How will the future of computing shape your customers’ behaviors going forward? And, most importantly, what do these visions mean for your brand and business? That’s what this episode of Thinks Out Loud is all about. Want to learn more? Here are the show notes for you.

    Are AI and Digital Evil (Thinks Out Loud Episode 438)

    Do artificial intelligence and digital more broadly scare you? Do their potential harms keep you up at night? In short, are these tools evil? I don’t think they are. Truly. And, most of the time, neither are the people who create them. That doesn’t mean that AI and digital can’t cause harm for your customers, for your business, and for you. The question instead should be, “How can you keep these tools from causing harm in the world?” And that’s what this episode of Thinks Out Loud is all about. Want to learn more?

    Is AI a Gatekeeper? Or is it a Key? (Thinks Out Loud Episode 437)

    Some folks think that artificial intelligence is a white knight, coming to rescue their businesses from gatekeepers such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, and the rest. But is that true? Is AI the key to unlocking Big Tech’s gates? Or is it just another gatekeeper waiting in the wings? In this episode of the Thinks Out Loud podcast, our company founder and president, Tim Peter, takes a look at whether artificial intelligence might play in helping you bypass gatekeepers, and how you can start connecting directly with your customers no matter what.
