In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez shares an exciting personal update about the future of the show and his latest ventures. He reflects on the journey of AI Driven Marketer, announces his part-time shift at Social Media Examiner, and reveals three major projects: a new YouTube series called AI Explored, a podcast automation tool called Smack.fm, and a hybrid podcast agency and coaching program called SoloScaled. These initiatives are designed to help marketers, solopreneurs, and consultants harness AI for content creation, lead generation, and business growth — all while maintaining consistency without burnout.
