Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work at extraordinary speed, but are businesses, employees and leaders ready for what comes next?

In this episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren Jamieson speaks with AI expert, keynote speaker and author Dan Södergren about what he calls the Fifth Industrial Revolution.

Dan explains why AI is only one part of a much bigger change involving artificial, emotional, independent and organisational intelligence. They discuss AI training, leadership, "AI slop", copyright, data ownership, shadow AI and why businesses need to understand exactly what happens to the information they feed into AI systems.

They also explore the impact AI could have on artists, marketers and other professions, why Dan describes AI as an "automated intern", the rise of autonomous AI agents and why businesses may eventually need their own private AI models.

Finally, Darren and Dan look at where AI could take us next, whether AI itself is something to fear and why the people and organisations controlling the technology could matter more than the technology itself.

What happens when you stop hiding who you are and start exploring what you really want?

In this episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren Jamieson is joined by Carla Crivaro, sex and relationship coach, for a fascinating conversation about sex, relationships, confidence, communication and how the way we show up in the bedroom can impact every other area of our lives.

Carla shares her own journey from a traditional Catholic upbringing to becoming a sex and relationship coach, including how exploring non-monogamy, boundaries and personal growth completely changed the way she viewed relationships.

They dive into some seriously interesting topics, including why communication is the key to better relationships, how shame can affect our sex lives, erotic blueprints, the impact of porn on expectations, pleasure parties and why becoming more confident and authentic can transform both your personal life and your business. 🔥

A wide-ranging, honest and eye-opening conversation that proves sex is about so much more than sex. It’s about connection, confidence and being unapologetically yourself.

Would you trust ChatGPT more than your best friend when deciding what to buy?

In this episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren Jamieson chats with Fatemah Jamal Al-Lail about the fast-changing world of SEO, AI, e-commerce and personalisation.

They get into why tiny website changes can have a huge impact on conversions, how beauty brands build trust online, why micro-influencers are becoming such a powerful sales channel and what happens when shoppers start asking AI what they should buy instead of searching Google.

There’s also talk of hyper-personalised websites, privacy, creepy data collection, AI-generated content, Minority Report and, somehow, Tom Cruise.

If you work in SEO, CRO, e-commerce, beauty or digital marketing, this one’s packed with ideas about where online shopping is heading next.
