    The Demise of Google Search and the Rise of Generative AI

    Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! In this episode, Roland and Ryan explore the impact of AI on the business landscape, discussing Gartner's prediction of a 25% drop in search engine volume by 2026 and the implications for traditional search engines like Google. They cover the need for employees to upskill and adapt, as well as the opportunities for businesses to optimize their online presence for AI-powered search. The conversation also touches on China's release of a deep AI algorithm and the potential shift in the global AI landscape, as well as the role of AI in automating complex tasks like CRM migrations. Highlights: "People would rather have answers, and they want to say it's what Beza said when he said, I look at not what is going to change tomorrow. I look at what's never going to change. What's never going to change is people want their stuff on time. They want it faster. They don't want to pay for shipping. They want what they ordered in search." "Unless Google basically fuses Gemini with the Google search engine, which probably wouldn't be a terrible idea, and then make it either ad free for 20 bucks a month, or, you know, with ads for not, I think Google search is going to die, you know, a long death like traditional media has." "If you're in the SEO business, pivot to Gen AI optimization, if you have a legacy website, find somebody who knows how to optimize for generative AI bots, so that you can get listed there when the time comes." "I still think the timeline is further out than most, okay, we have a good 10 years of so basically, get those vacations and live those dreams in the next 10 years before you're answering to the machines."

    Intentionality vs. Drift: Charting Your Path to Success

    Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! In this episode, Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss discuss the concept of "drift" - the insidious ways in which we can unconsciously veer off course from our goals and aspirations. They explore three types of drift: financial drift, strategic drift, and vision drift, and provide insights on how to consciously shift towards your desired outcomes rather than passively drifting. The conversation covers the importance of habits, the costs and investments required to achieve your goals, and the difference between shifting and drifting. Highlights: "What gets measured gets managed." "If I can only work one hour today, what's the one thing I would do?" "The only remedy that I've ever had goes back to the habits.

"The fundamental job, the single most important job that any CEO has, is determining what is the company's right next thing." "I do love the idea of saying, like, we are going to solve this problem in weeks, to say that every single thing that is our biggest problem can always be solved in a singular week." "If you're a leader, and if you decide that you're going to take on the role of solving a particular problem in your team, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, because, frankly, your people probably are above full capacity already."

Highlights: "Budgets represent the worst of corporate bureaucracy." "The annual plan is the worst unit of measurement that there is."
