During our discussion on the impact of artificial intelligence and the internet on the marketing industry, I had the pleasure of speaking with Paul O'Brien, a veteran of online technology and startup industries. Paul, also known as SEO'Brien, has a wealth of experience in the search sector and is currently employed in venture capital economic development, where he makes investments in business owners and supports their expansion. He started MediaTech Ventures, a venture development company for the media industry, because he is passionate about investing in and innovating the media. Paul was successful in guiding the early expansion of firms including Outright.com, Zvents, and MicroVentures thanks to his early work at Yahoo! and HP. Later, major industry heavyweights like GoDaddy and eBay's Stubhub purchased these firms. Paul has an incredibly strong technical background despite his current position; he designed websites in the 1990s and continues to engineer and produce content at seobrien.com. Even the book Online Marketing Heroes featured him as a result of his contributions. Paul's perspectives on the convergence of marketing and artificial intelligence were extremely helpful because he was a former venture partner at Meaningful Ventures, the founder and director of Funded House, and the director of the Founder Institute for Texas. He provided a distinctive viewpoint on how these technologies are changing the industry and how business owners and marketers should take advantage of them to stay competitive.
