As AI-generated content floods the internet, one thing is becoming increasingly valuable: authentic human connection.

In this episode of The Beacon Way Podcast, Adrienne Wilkerson sits down with digital marketing veteran Stephan Bajaio, founder of Vibe Logic and former co-founder of Conductor, one of the world's leading enterprise SEO platforms.

Together they explore how AI is changing digital marketing, why authenticity is becoming one of the biggest competitive advantages for businesses, and what behavioral health practices can do to better connect with the people they're trying to serve.

The conversation dives into content strategy, SEO, therapist branding, patient psychology, evergreen content, and why the best marketing isn't about selling—it's about helping.
