An *amazing* podcast to learn AI skills you can use immediately to become more productive.

Michael and his incredible lineup of guests break it all down: not just what tools to use, but how to use them in ways that actually move the needle in your business. You’ll walk away from every episode with practical frameworks, time-saving hacks, and a deeper understanding of how to get AI working for you—without needing to become an AI expert. The stuff you learn here will easily save you hours a week. Time you can reinvest in growing your business—or, you know, doing something you actually enjoy. Highly recommended for any entrepreneur who wants to work smarter, not harder, and finally make AI useful.

Love How Easy This Is to Comprehend
AI Explored’ has been a go-to podcast for me since its very first episode. Each installment delivers clear, concise, and easy-to-understand content that makes even the most complex AI concepts feel accessible. Whether you’re an expert or just starting to dip your toes into the world of artificial intelligence, this podcast has something for everyone. What I love most is how relatable the episodes are—there’s no jargon overload or overwhelming technical details. Instead, it’s presented in a way that sparks curiosity and keeps you coming back for more. I learn something new every time I listen, and it’s always exciting to see how AI impacts so many aspects of our lives. If you have even the slightest interest in all things AI, ‘AI Explored’ is a must-listen

Terrific Guide
One of the struggles facing marketers today isn’t just to learn AI, but to know where to even start. AI Explored consistently shares great guests with amazing insights into how marketers can apply AI into their roles today, and is a terrific guide for taking AI into tomorrow.

A must listen for all marketers!

Wish we could rate each guest
This podcast is amazing and so informative and interesting. I do wish we could rate each episode and guest because this week’s guest was a major turn off. He seemed to be there just to drone on about his Philippine team. He sounded like a typical bro marketer (not a compliment). He may have eventually shared something useful but I stopped listening before he reached that point.

Love It!
Every show is loaded with actionable content and tasks. Cannot believe what I learned in just a few days of binge listening to Michael and his guests. Thank you, Michael!

I can’t believe how much I’m learning!!!
A few months back I tried searching for podcasts that discuss the latest and strategic uses for AI for entrepreneurs and couldn’t really find any podcasts that fit that description. The other day I searched again and found AI Explored and it feels like I’ve found an old mentor (I used to listen to Mike’s other podcast!) The information shared is SO TIMELY and perfect for business owners. I’m replaying and replaying all relevant episodes, soaking up everything I can. PLEASE keep up the awesomeness, the deep dives. I’ll be sharing this podcast with anyone who will listen. I especially found the following episodes so extremely useful and would love deeper dives into these topics. Building Custom GPTs: Personalizing an Al Assistant (SO HELPFUL!!!!!) I had no idea about this and I use chatgpt everyday! Using Al to Speed Content Creation Using Al to Be a Better Content Creator Creating an Al Assistant: How to Get Started Prompt Engineering Fundamentals Thanks for bringing such great content to us, it’s so awesome!

We can’t ignore AI-Thanks Mike!
If you listen to Mike Stelzner, you are a marketer. If you are a marketer, you need to understand AI. He’s dedicated several episodes on the SMM podcast, but things are changing so fast it’s a service for him to put together a podcast dedicated to using AI in marketing. Who better to blend the topics? With his connections and reputation, Mike Stelzner is the perfect host for this show. Love the first few episodes.

One episode in and I'm hooked
Michael has an incredible ability to tell a compelling story. Most people would do well with that one skill. But he takes it a step further by using his ability to draw good stories out of the people he's interviewing. I already love the show after one episode, and you can bet I will be listening to every one that follows. Have already recommended it to my network of AI enthusiasts.

Another Mistake
One thing is clear that Mike Stelzner doesn’t care about social media anymore but won’t give up his company. So instead he used it for his first idea of the horrible Web 3.0/NFT nonsense where he was posting about “slurp juice” as if that was something to be taken seriously and not a con in and of itself. Now he has moved on to AI without realizing that this is just like when numbers were fudged in the “pivot to video” era of social media, where the increased belief that there is a need for AI will ultimately lead to his target audience of marketers losing their jobs because companies will mistakenly believe AI will do better. What he is championing is the downfall of his audience. At one time, Social Media Examiner and Social Media Marketing World were so important to me, but its founder is susceptible to being grifted (to this day he is blaming the collapse of FTX as opposed to accepting most if not all of Web3.0/NFTs were fraud) and unfortunately his mastermind group must also be made up of other grifters just trying to see what they can cash in on now that the screws have tightened on social media marketing compared to the early wild west days. I get the desire to chase something new, but it was a huge mistake to drag the good thing he had going into it and not just let that exist on its own unsullied. And please don’t misconstrue me as a troll or even a hater like Jay Baer would say you should hug. I’m someone who believed in what he was doing but his wandering eye has caused irreparable damage to the company he built.

A Much Needed Addition to the AI Conversation
Just finished the first full episode and I’m very excited for the next one. As a one-person marketing team for our company, AI has a lot of promise, but it is also changing so fast that it’s difficult to keep up. Thanks Michael for helping to cut through the noise and make the AI powerhouse a little less daunting for all of us.
