Howdy. Welcome back to another fun filled episode of the Unknown Secrets of Internet Marketing. I am your host, Matt Bertram. I am recording from up in the mountains because Houston is just horrible for anybody that's listening in that area. It like 72 and breezy. So I wanted to bring on somebody that I was super impressed with at SEO Week. I had not heard from her before and she just blew my mind on so many levels. And I am lucky enough to have her on the podcast to talk about psychological triggers, how to communicate with, with real humans in the age of AI. I think everything that is hot right now, we're seeing it even in the downloads of the podcast. If we're not talking about AI, like, people are not super interested. And that was why I published an article that somebody else shared, but I reshared it on multiple social media channels because I thought I was guilty of this. It was an MIT study that said we've outsourced our brain to AI. We're not doing thinking anymore. And I am so guilty of like not even sometimes taking that prompt and even reading it and like utilizing it. And this is a year or so ago, but I, I, that, that, that, that article just hit me in the face and, and you know, our numbers and some of the things that I was working on on pet projects were really not performing the way that I thought they should. And when I turned back on my brain and I started going back to the fundamentals and I started to use the copywriting that I learned and the emotional triggers, things started working again. So I had to go back to the fundamentals. And so I wanted to bring on Talia Wolf, who is the expert in this. She's speaking all over the world about this stuff and I am so glad that she's here with us today. Welcome to the show, Talia.

Well, I would love to get your perspective. I know. I heard you at SEO Week. You used a Coca Cola example. You talked about how people got to remember that there's somebody on the other side of whatever ad you're doing, whatever website you have, whatever social media post that you make. And I've found personally, when I have that icp, ideal target Persona in mind lands better. It, you know, people engage with it more. And when I'm posting into a void. It, it doesn't always work that well, even when we were looking at CRO on websites. And so I would love to just your perspective on, you know, where the state of the market is and what you're seeing. Maybe agencies, freelancers, doing the questions you're getting from conferences like where's everybody at right now? And you know, we talked about this a little prior but you know, LLMs are not like here yet. Like everybody's kind of going where the puck's going to be. But right now, like people are still engaging on Google, people are all across the Internet. Certainly AI overviews have taken over. But you know what, just tell me kind of the state of the market as, as you see it today.
