About today's amazing MVP, Wayne Mullins: Wayne sits down with MaryLou for a third time to talk about what's on so many minds these days --> AI, small business marketing, and getting attention from the right people in a crowded noisy world.

It's not every day you get to sit down with someone who's seen—and shaped—so much in the world of marketing and leadership. Over the years, Wayne's insights have stood out not just because of his expertise, but because of his authenticity and willingness to challenge the status quo, especially as the world around us keeps changing at lightning speed. Whether he's sharing hard-won lessons from running his agency, talking about the importance of real human connection in a digital age, or opening up about the times things didn't go as planned, Wayne always brings a refreshing blend of honesty, wisdom, and warmth. There's a lot we can learn from him today!

If you're looking for some fresh air—literally and figuratively—in your approach to leadership and life, you're in the right place. Today, MaryLou joins her friend Matt Potts: outdoor enthusiast, passionate guide, retired CPA, author of the forthcoming book "Wild Places," and all-around genuine soul. Matt's got a remarkable story, from his Kentucky childhood adventures to leading men (and women!) into the wild for connection, healing, and some good, old-fashioned unplugging.

What is so great about Matt is how seamlessly he blends wisdom gleaned from the backcountry with real-world lessons—about courage, letting go, and the power of slowing down. The conversation wanders down trails both literal and metaphorical: topics include leadership, preparation, life transitions, and the importance of finding your own wild place, whether that's in the Rockies or your own backyard.

So pour yourself something cozy, and settle in for a chat that might just inspire you to get outside—or, if nothing else, think a little differently about what it means to lead and to live fully. Here's this week's conversation with Matt Potts.

People using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude are noticing an interesting phenomenon: the responses to their prompts are always agreeable, even when users intentionally put in wrong information. Additionally, frustration with "AI workslop" and excessive bot interactions on popular social platforms like LinkedIn continue to distract people from moving forward with their work.

What's going on and why do you need to be aware of this? What are the long-term consequences of too much AI content? In today's solo episode, MaryLou addresses these questions to uncover what's happening culturally on a bigger scale as more people, especially children, integrate AI tools into everyday life.
