This podcast explores the art and science of storytelling explainers — from the wisdom of the ancients to the innovators of today.

Journey to AI Readiness for the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the new AI frontier — with lessons from Storytelling Explainers who have already changed the world, from Jesus of Nazareth, Socrates, and Buddha to Steve Jobs, Sam Altman, and Demis Hassabis of DeepMind — alongside modern voices like Oprah Winfrey, Mel Robbins and my friend, Oxford Professor Eero Varra, considered one of the world’s foremost business strategists, and other leaders shaping the AI frontier.

This is from a two-time Peabody Award-winning documentarian, MikeHayes, who has interviewed Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, Bob Proctor, and dozens of influential people before the advent of the emerging AI frontier.

Each episode reveals how great explainers throughout history have used story, empathy, and insight to bridge understanding — and how we can now apply those same timeless principles with the help of ChatGPT and AI to communicate, connect, and create better together.

Whether you’re an educator, entrepreneur, or explorer of new ideas, AI Podcast Listening helps you learn to learn — turning AI into your partner for human progress and storytelling For Good.

From AI Noise to Human Voice - Build Communication Bridges without Burning Bridges!

Hello, I'm your human, Mike Hayes, with my AI CoHosts. Together, we deliver Heart and Hospitality to AI Education through podcast listening.

Boost your social media outreach with ChatGPT—simple, hospitable, and shareable content anyone can use. Let's discuss.

There’s a storm in the airwaves — an endless AI bubble machine, pumping out content faster than anyone can think, feel, or remember. Everywhere you look, words — billions of them — floating like digital foam. But how many of those words actually reach the human heart?

We’re drowning in posts, ads, algorithms, and auto-generated noise. The internet is crowded, but connection… is scarce. AI is producing more words — but fewer stories that matter.

Yet history reminds us: clarity isn’t born from chaos. It comes from explainers — voices that help us see through the fog. Voices like Jesus of Nazareth, Socrates, Buddha, Oprah, Steve Jobs, Mel Robbins, Alvin Toffler, Garrison Keillor, Mr. Rogers, and today’s digital minds like Demis Hassabis and Sam Altman — people who use words to illuminate, not just accumulate.

That’s why PodcastListening.com and the AI Super Campus exist — to turn AI from a noise amplifier into a meaning maker. Through storytelling explainers and human-centered networking, we teach how to use AI the way the great communicators would — to connect, to clarify, and to create real impact.

Because the solution isn’t more content, it’s more connection. Not just AI voice — but human voice amplified by AI with old-fashioned human hospitality,

    Love Local Networking for Seniors and AI for Global Good - The $10,000 Winning Grant Strategy

    Show Notes: The Local-to-Global Hybrid: A Blueprint for Scaling Nonprofits

    How do you bridge the gap between hyper-local community impact and global scalability? In this episode, we dissect a "finely tuned machine"—a strategic nonprofit model engineered to satisfy the rigorous demands of major grant providers like Google. We explore the Local-to-Global Hybrid Model, a system that uses "micro-training hubs" to turn small community meetings into global distribution centers.

    Learn how to leverage $0 rent solutions, maintain Google Ad Grant compliance, and use "beta site" mentalities to build a sustainable growth engine. Whether you are starting a community initiative or scaling an existing 501(c)(3), this episode provides the architectural blueprint for scientific, repeatable success.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The 10:100 Ratio: Why 10 local attendees provide quality control (the "Lab") while 100+ virtual attendees secure grant compliance (the "Banquet").
    • The Beta Site Strategy: How naming your initial location a "beta site" (like Walnut Creek) signals strategic maturity and iterative rigor to tech-focused funders.
    • Zero-Dollar Infrastructure: Utilizing Capital One Cafe community rooms to eliminate real estate overhead, directing 100% of funding toward programming.
    • The Compliance Ballast: How hyper-local ad targeting creates a high Click-Through Rate (CTR) that protects your $10,000/month Google Ad Grant from falling below the 5% threshold.
    • The Pitch Deck Shift: Moving from a "transactional" relationship with partners to a "strategic" one by proving business value (foot traffic and brand halo effects).

    Featured Tools & Frameworks:

    • Google Ad Grants: Maximizing the $10,000/month in-kind search advertising.
    • Gamma: For creating high-impact pitch decks for corporate partners.
    • AI Curriculum: Using Gemini and NotebookLM to provide immediate utility for the senior demographic.
    • MVP (Minimum Viable Product): Treating training paragraphs and videos as "ingredients" for frictionless replication.

    Google Optimization: Keywords & Phrases

    Primary Keywords: Nonprofit Scaling Strategy, Google Ad Grants Compliance, Micro-Training Hubs, Local-to-Global Hybrid Model, Senior AI Training, 501(c)(3) Efficiency.
