    Sep 13 2025

    📸 Tired of blurry selfies, awkward stock photos, or AI images with six fingers? Google’s latest AI update — Gemini 2.5 ‘Banana’ — might finally change the game for small businesses.


    In this episode of The Marketing Podcast for Local Businesses, Adam Niazi & Josh Hamit reveal how Gemini Banana can save you thousands in photography costs while making your brand look sharper online.


    Here’s what you’ll hear:


    🔧 The photo problem in local marketing – why stock images hurt your credibility and pro photos cost too much.

  • GPT-5 Is Here – And It Changes Everything for Your Business
    Sep 6 2025

    ⚠️ Your competitors could already be using GPT-5 to outthink, outsell, and out-market you and you wouldn’t even know it.

    Here’s what you’ll hear:


    🧠 Next-level reasoning power – How GPT-5 can take a single goal and map out every step without endless prompts.


    📌 Real-world examples – From cafés to wedding venues, how GPT-5 can run entire marketing campaigns.

    📚 Massive context window – How it can process an entire website or product catalogue in one go.


    💬 Human-like adaptability – How it matches your voice for customer service, sales copy, or social media.


    🤖 Agent-style autonomy – How it tackles multi-step projects and improves results without your constant input.
