Latest / AI for Founders with Ryan Estes / Is AI Slop Killing SEO? | From Zero to Indexed in Two Weeks: The Real SEO Timeline
Transcript
- 0:00Your blog posts are invisible. Not because they're bad, but
- 0:02because. Google literally cannot find
- 0:04them. AI generated content isn't
- 0:06killing us yo. Lazy founders are.
- 0:09You can't dump a ChatGPT prompt, hit publish and expect leads.
- 0:12It's not a content strategy. So what actually moves the
- 0:15needle? Start with your domain
- 0:16authority. If it's under 35, Google is
- 0:18basically ghosting you. Fix it with backlinks.
- 0:21Not bought in bulk. That'll get you penalized but
- 0:24earned through podcasts and press hits and showing up where
- 0:26your industry lives. Every podcast appearance, every
- 0:29meeting media mentioned, every Reddit thread you engage in is a
- 0:32vote of credibility to Google, and every LLM that's deciding
- 0:36whether you exist. LLM optimization.
- 0:38It sounds revolutionary but it's not.
- 0:40It's just good SEO with an Omni channel layer on top.
- 0:44The brands that win an AI search are the ones that are doing the
- 0:47boring fundamentals right. The title tags, the H1's,
- 0:49internal links, image, alt text, and the FAQs that answer
- 0:53questions before anyone asks them.
- 0:54So you need good content. So just keep it simple.
- 0:57If someone googled the exact problem your product solves
- 0:59right now, now will they find an answer?
- 1:01Welcome to AI for founders. I'm Ryan Estes.
- 1:03Today's guest built a content system that gets founders
- 1:06indexed, ranked and found without them writing a single
- 1:09word. This ones for early stage
- 1:11founders who know they need SEO but have zero time to execute.
- 1:14That's Caitlin Donadio from Try neena.co.wantframeworkslikethiseveryweektheaiforfoundersnewsletter@aiforfounders.co
- 1:23breaks down the exact playbooks, tools and experiments that are
- 1:26working right now. It's the unfair advantage in
- 1:28your inbox. Subscribe today.
- 1:30And if this episode made you smarter.
- 1:32A five star review takes 10 seconds and it keeps the
- 1:34algorithm gods very, very happy. Pay it forward.
- 1:37I'll love you for it. Hey, Linda, welcome to the show.
- 1:44Thank you so much for joining me.
- 1:46Thank you for having me man, really appreciate it.
- 1:49Absolutely. It's a pleasure.
- 1:50We're going to talk a little bit about your company, which people
- 1:52can check out. It's try neena.co.
- 1:55The company is called Neena and you are a content writer for
- 1:59founders and for folks. So I'm really hoping to have a
- 2:02conversation around distribution.
- 2:03SEOAEOGEO, what's the difference between all that?
- 2:07But before we do that, give us an introduction to Neena.
- 2:10Yeah. So Nina, really at its core
- 2:14we're content writing system for your website where we write
- 2:17blogs very specifically what we do is rewrite blogs that are SEO
- 2:23centric. You know they're they have the
- 2:24right data markers behind them. They have the right breakdown so
- 2:27that Google is very happy to crawl that information and log
- 2:29that information and deliver it up to the client, you know, to
- 2:32the searchers desire. So that actually came out of a
- 2:37need for one of the businesses that I own.
- 2:39I'm a serial entrepreneur. I have a couple different
- 2:40ventures and we realized that, you know, you can have a great
- 2:44social media team, you can have a great website, but at the end
- 2:47of the day, on site content is a major driver for organic
- 2:51traffic. So we built MENA to essentially
- 2:53deliver for that business. It works so well we decided to
- 2:56commercialize it and bring it to the public.
- 3:00Amazing. I love it.
- 3:01And that you know what, this is like an absolute necessity for
- 3:04folks, especially startups, you know, because you buy a new
- 3:06domain and you got to season that domain and get it indexed.
- 3:10So let's kind of begin there. You know, you're what, what's
- 3:13kind of the secret code to getting Google just to index
- 3:16your pages? You can submit it, submit it to,
- 3:18you know, the Google Search Console and then after that like
- 3:22what is Google looking for? Honestly, I want to highlight
- 3:26just actually manually submitting your content through
- 3:28Google Search Console. Very few people are aware to
- 3:31even do that. So anytime you add a new page to
- 3:33your website, you release new products, new blog, whatever it
- 3:36might be, go to Search console, manually index that.
- 3:39The key to getting your contact content index faster is your
- 3:42domain authority. The lower domain authority you
- 3:45have, the lower credibility Google essentially associated
- 3:48with your domain and the less frequently they're crawling it
- 3:51and then indexing the new content on your website.
- 3:53So if you want an easy indexing, cool, have a domain score domain
- 3:58authority over 3540. The vast majority of people
- 4:00don't have that, so you do rely on manually indexing.
- 4:05Once you submit your content to index through Google Search
- 4:08Console, Google will crawl that site and then they will
- 4:11determine if that information is valuable or not.
- 4:14If it's not valuable, we call that thin content.
- 4:17Thin content is, you know, a page that doesn't have internal
- 4:20links, doesn't have external links, has either very little
- 4:22information or has so much information that's just kind of
- 4:26jargon and doesn't actually provide value.
- 4:30So making sure that once your site is crawled to get indexed
- 4:34and permanently logged in Google, it needs to be relevant
- 4:37to what the people are looking for.
- 4:38It needs to have actual information that provides true
- 4:40value, has linking structure, and is also relatively recent.
- 4:44Google doesn't seem to care about content that's on your
- 4:47site that's 345 years old. That's why when people have
- 4:51blogs on their website, we recommend one always be
- 4:53releasing blog content, but also go back to the content you
- 4:56released five years ago. Update it a little bit, make
- 4:59some changes, change that H1, change that publishing date, and
- 5:03then make sure that it's actually getting indexed.
- 5:05Staying on top of your content and making sure that your site
- 5:07is active in Google Dives is a great way for it to be crawled
- 5:11more regularly. And then hopefully your content
- 5:13is good enough that it's getting indexed more regularly.
- 5:16Amazing. So when we're thinking about
- 5:18domain authority, you know, obviously if you've got, you
- 5:21know, a 15 year old website that's been continuously
- 5:24upgraded, that's going to be great for domain authority.
- 5:26What else contributes to that? Backlinks.
- 5:30So I'm going to kind of speak to two things.
- 5:32It's on site content and backlinks.
- 5:34Time is a major factor for domain authority.
- 5:37But if you have a one page website that doesn't have on
- 5:39site content and doesn't really have any links from media
- 5:43outlets or other businesses or government agencies, then it
- 5:48doesn't really provide that much credibility to Google.
- 5:50So if we're trying to increase our domain authority, backlinks
- 5:53are probably the number one thing you should go after.
- 5:56Traditional effort to get backlinks is really PR.
- 5:58So getting the local news to cover you, get industry specific
- 6:01media to cover you. That is a really, really
- 6:05valuable effort because those sites have high domain authority
- 6:09and then them writing about you and linking to your website is
- 6:12essentially extending their authority to you.
- 6:14Google Now sees you as more credible.
- 6:17You can go and buy backlinks through a variety of different
- 6:21services that are out there. I would just recommend that
- 6:23people are very sensitive and reserved when they do that.
- 6:26If all of a sudden you buy 10 backlinks and they all point to
- 6:29the same page, Google notices that that's not normal behavior.
- 6:33So we need to, if you're trying to manipulate, you know, your
- 6:38Google's perspective of your website, buy backlinks very
- 6:43sparingly and make sure that you're pointing them at
- 6:45different pages on your site, not just trying to try get 100
- 6:48backlinks to your home page. That's going to be very
- 6:49suspicious to Google. If Google sees you're doing
- 6:52that, then they will absolutely punish you.
- 6:54They do not want you doing that. It is kind of a, a Gray area for
- 6:57their for Google. So PR is the best way.
- 7:01That does not mean you need APR team.
- 7:02That means that you can just go and do outreach like this.
- 7:04We can get on a podcast, get a link from that.
- 7:06We can go and do our own press release.
- 7:09Press releases links don't necessarily follow, but you can
- 7:12be your own PR engine. You don't have to spend 510
- 7:15grand a month on APR team. The other contributing factor
- 7:18that we see as a major driver is on site content.
- 7:21If you only have one page of content, you only have those
- 7:25words on that page that Google can line up with people that are
- 7:28searching for you. So the more pages and the more
- 7:31words you have on your site, the more Google can understand who
- 7:37you are, what you do, and why you do it so that when people
- 7:39are searching, they can kind of connect the dots a little bit
- 7:42clearer. So make sure you have enough on
- 7:44site content that's relative to what people are going to be
- 7:47looking for. And make sure you're building
- 7:48your authority outside of just your site by getting those
- 7:52backlinks through media hits, through podcasts, through social
- 7:55media. It's down now.
- 7:56It's like you want other people giving you credit because that's
- 7:59how Google is going to, you know, raise that domain
- 8:01authority for you over time. You bet.
- 8:04Now I kind of along these lines, I spend a lot of time really
- 8:08doing really great show notes, if I'm gonna say that for
- 8:12myself. But I spent a lot of time and
- 8:15the team does a great job doing that because I want that to be a
- 8:19great driver for them, you know? So if I'm, I publish a podcast,
- 8:23it goes to the website, it has a backlink to Caitlin's website as
- 8:27a backlink to Caitlin's LinkedIn or wherever he wants me to, to
- 8:31send traffic. So there's backlinks there on
- 8:34the website. It's also publishing to God
- 8:36knows how many podcast catchers that are out there, probably 50
- 8:40plus. And so that URL is also in the
- 8:42show notes. So you know, when you're going
- 8:45on a podcast, do you, are you getting credit for all those
- 8:48backlinks on all those different podcast players?
- 8:51It really depends on how they have their link structure set
- 8:54up. You can set up links that has
- 8:56follower nofollow links. And so it's going to come down
- 8:59to that, you know, the where that content is published on if
- 9:02it's going to be a follower nofollow link.
- 9:04So always focus on the primary place that you're communicating.
- 9:07You know, for this podcast called want to make sure that
- 9:09this is a link back to us. That's great credibility.
- 9:13Once it leaves this, you know, the direct interaction we're
- 9:15having, we have less control over that.
- 9:17So it is hopefully everybody that's sharing the show notes
- 9:21are including follow links. If they're not that, that is
- 9:26unfortunate from an SEO perspective.
- 9:28But this is where Geo becomes more valuable.
- 9:31I'm a historically a hater on the term Geo because a lot of
- 9:35Geo is basically just doing good SEO and then laying in an Omni
- 9:39channel marketing approach on top of that.
- 9:42What we found with LMS is there Google cares about links, the
- 9:47direct follow links. That is how Google grades
- 9:49credibility for LMS through they're looking at content in
- 9:53context. And what I mean by that is if
- 9:58that press release or that this podcast gets disseminated across
- 10:01200 different outlets, when an LLM is looking for information
- 10:06on me, they're going to be looking at all of the available
- 10:09information that's out there, not just information that's
- 10:12linked to directly to me. So that's where that
- 10:16dissemination of this podcast is beneficial from a Geo
- 10:20perspective because LLMS will see that Cool.
- 10:22There's 200 new places that reference, you know, Caitlin's
- 10:25and audio in the context of content marketing.
- 10:29So that's really great. But from a Google perspective,
- 10:32it really comes down to, you know, each individual website
- 10:35and the link structure that they associate behind the links that
- 10:38they pull from this podcast. While you were recording your
- 10:41last episode, Casey Taylor was out there pitching your podcast
- 10:45to brands and securing sponsorship deals.
- 10:48Well, she's not yet, but she could be.
- 10:50Casey is Howdy's AI partnership agent and she does something
- 10:53pretty wild. She actually secures
- 10:55sponsorships for your show. Not a match list that you have
- 10:58to work through yourself, not a template you have to send.
- 11:01She handles the outreach to follow up the whole thing and
- 11:04brings back partners. You started your.
- 11:06Podcast because you had something worth saying.
- 11:08Casey makes sure that you get paid for
- 11:10sayingitgomeetcasey@gethowdy.com. That's GETHOW di.com 2 minutes
- 11:17to get started, then Casey takes it from there.
- 11:20That's howdy, partnershipsgethowdy.com
- 11:24founders. You know better than anyone the
- 11:26game changed overnight. Every industry runs on AI now.
- 11:30Medicine, law, finance, design, all of it.
- 11:32And while you're busy building the future, there's a whole
- 11:35generation of students about to enter the workforce who have no
- 11:38idea how to compete in it. AI native student.com fixes
- 11:42that. It's one-on-one AI coaching
- 11:45built specifically for high school and college students,
- 11:47personalized to their goals, their career path, their actual
- 11:50life. Your kid isn't learning to code.
- 11:53They're learning how to be fluent in the operating system
- 11:55of modern work and colleges and employers.
- 11:58They're already noticing. Head to ainativestudent.com.
- 12:01It takes a couple minutes to apply for your student and lock
- 12:04in the 30 day money back guarantee.
- 12:06The window to get ahead is right now AI native student.com and
- 12:11definitely have them sign up for the AI chat.
- 12:13It's the fastest growing for students in the world.
- 12:17So which is to say, GEOAEO at its core, as is SEO principals
- 12:22are going to win the day. As a lot like LLMS need
- 12:26structured information so that they can crawl back effectively
- 12:28and log that effectively, Google needs the exact same thing.
- 12:32Google built the road map for this years ago on look.
- 12:35This is author schema, this is image, all text.
- 12:37This is the meta description. They've given us boxes that we
- 12:40can fill in and LLMS need information in boxes so they can
- 12:45process it. So what we found with Geo and
- 12:48SEO is Geo is 90% SEO. Make sure you have the right
- 12:52information. Make sure you have your title
- 12:54tags right. Make sure you're, you know, you,
- 12:58you have your image, all text. Make sure that you're doing
- 13:01everything that Google wants. And then to meet the GEL
- 13:04perspective, do some social listening.
- 13:07Go on to Reddit, see how your brands be represented.
- 13:09Go engage on Reddit, Go engage and create YouTube videos,
- 13:12create, you know, go to events and get photos that then people
- 13:16share virally because each piece of content that your team is
- 13:21putting out is essentially a line in the water.
- 13:25And it's the line in the water for people as well As for the AI
- 13:29or the Googles out there. If we are going engaging in our
- 13:33community and then the news writes about us and we don't get
- 13:37a link, that's OK because the LMS, we'll see that the news
- 13:41wrote about this brand in this context.
- 13:44So it's fantastic there. But that's just marketing.
- 13:47That's an Omni channel marketing approach where we don't just
- 13:49focus on digital marketing, we focus on digital.
- 13:51We focus on in person, we focus on paid marketing.
- 13:55So when people are like Geo is this revolution, they're really
- 13:59just expanding that SEO is not everything.
- 14:02SEO is the basis of your digital presence.
- 14:04But if you want to be a good organization and good good
- 14:08organization and marketing, you need to be doing more.
- 14:11You need to have that in person relationship.
- 14:13You need to be running ads, you need to be speaking on panels.
- 14:15You need to maybe not get a billboard, but you know, you
- 14:19need to diversify where you're marketing rather than just SEO.
- 14:23So that's whenever people are like, what's is Geo the most
- 14:26important thing? I'm like, no, doing all of
- 14:29marketing efforts is the most important thing.
- 14:31That's how you become a good marketer.
- 14:33That's how you become a good brand.
- 14:34That's how you become known and runs to your field.
- 14:37It's not just devoting to SEO or just devoting to paid ads.
- 14:40One effort will kill you. You need to be doing everything
- 14:43in marketing if you really want to be successful in the long
- 14:45run. Amazing.
- 14:48Let's. Talk dead Internet theory.
- 14:50So people are going to make blog post with Claude, they're going
- 14:54to upload it. And then the LMS are going to,
- 14:56you know, well, let's say Claude uses the Internet to, to craft
- 15:02the blog posts and then it publishes A blog post.
- 15:05And at at some point in the foreseeable future, maybe the
- 15:08next 12 months, all of the AI slop is going to be informing
- 15:12the next batch of AI slop that's out there.
- 15:15Now, how is Google treating kind of like AI generated content?
- 15:19Because there's a million different tools you can be like,
- 15:21you know, that students are using to be like or teachers
- 15:24really to see how much of these papers are being generated by
- 15:27ChatGPT. So the how is.
- 15:30Google. Kind of.
- 15:30Like checking on AI driven content and what are the kind of
- 15:35the penalties if it or or maybe there's not a penalty, maybe
- 15:38there's a benefit. How is Google kind of treating
- 15:41AI generated content? So I love this question because
- 15:44this is everybody's biggest fear of using AI to create anything
- 15:48is like am I is? Are the Google gods going to
- 15:50punish me? The answer is if you do a bad.
- 15:53If you do a bad job of creating content, yes Google will punish
- 15:56you. It doesn't matter if it's AI
- 15:57generated or human generated though.
- 15:59That's the the major hurdle that people need to understand is
- 16:03Google has documentation going back to I believe 2023, maybe
- 16:06even a little bit earlier. Don't quote me on the date
- 16:08exactly where they have outlined their perspectives on AI
- 16:11content. They don't care.
- 16:13They are absolutely OK with it as long as it provides actual
- 16:19information to the consumer. There is experience that's
- 16:21associated with that, that grounds it in reality, and it
- 16:26truly is informative. Like what we've found when
- 16:30writing content is when we're writing content in spaces that
- 16:34are a little bit more bleeding edge, we'll say new products or
- 16:38new Consumer Packaged Goods that have never been created.
- 16:41There's a lot to write about and that content gets ranked very
- 16:44easily because it's all net new in Google's eyes.
- 16:47Meanwhile, when we work with marketing agencies who are
- 16:50talking about basic SEO principles, people have been
- 16:52talking about basic SEO principles for 25 years, 30
- 16:56years. Like, you know, that that is a
- 16:58well researched topic that is pretty cut and dry.
- 17:02So Google doesn't really care that your new marketing agency,
- 17:05you wrote a blog about the, you know, the breed SEO tips like
- 17:09that is a more competitive topic.
- 17:11And so Google may look at that content and say it's less
- 17:14valuable. Maybe we won't index that
- 17:16content. So whether it be AI or human,
- 17:19you just need to deliver high quality information and high
- 17:21quality content. I think that's one of the issues
- 17:24with a lot of the AI content out there is people essentially we
- 17:29used to spend time researching a topic, writing about it, editing
- 17:32it, and then posting it. Now people just write a prompt
- 17:35and say, hey, I need to blog on this topic, Cool, you got it
- 17:39done, you posted it, great. You went from three hours to 3
- 17:42minutes and then posted it, and you expected the exact same
- 17:44result from when you put three hours into it?
- 17:47That's. Not the reality.
- 17:49A lot of AI content generators don't do internal linking.
- 17:51They don't do external linking. They may not push the right
- 17:54right formatting over into the CMS of your choice.
- 17:58They might not have images. The images might be recycled
- 18:01images that they're using for multiple different clients.
- 18:02So when it comes to AI generated content, it's the people expect
- 18:07to put in a fraction of the work and they expect the same result.
- 18:11You either need to. Put in a fraction.
- 18:13Of the work and expect for a fraction of the result or you
- 18:16need to work with somebody that's actually going to massage
- 18:18that information and increase the quality of it because right
- 18:22now one prompt is not going to get you to the point where
- 18:24Google is satisfied with what you have the overarching concept
- 18:29of dead Internet theory quite honestly is something that I
- 18:32think we all should be thinking about I think that as they're
- 18:36the ability to produce content and volume is there like as that
- 18:39increases and the quality becomes better we are going to
- 18:42have a lot of regurgitation and that's where I think people or
- 18:46going to need to step in. Obviously my tool my team uses
- 18:50AI to generate content and a high volume and a high quality
- 18:53but we still have people and when we work with teams we still
- 18:56encourage their team to keep that content writer and have
- 18:59that person go and focus on the more impactful the more
- 19:03sensitive information the product launches the white
- 19:05papers the you know the the download the deck that you can
- 19:09download by enter your e-mail. The things that are really going
- 19:12to drive your business forward or bleeding edge for your
- 19:15business have a human right. Like we don't want to just put
- 19:18out regurgitated slop out there. We have to do a little bit of
- 19:21that in order for Google to understand what we do so they
- 19:25can serve people up to our website.
- 19:27But people are very important in creating net new knowledge.
- 19:32And I think that that's how we avoid that Internet theory
- 19:35broadly. I think that there's some of
- 19:39them, some inability to avoid it, but people should continue
- 19:41to write content and people should continue to be the
- 19:44drivers of the highest level information that their business
- 19:46needs to put forth. Like that word massage, you
- 19:51know, because now our new roles are are to develop taste and to
- 19:55be able to take kind of like AI content and massage it into
- 19:59something beautiful. So you know, as you're
- 20:02approaching a draft, your team's approaching a draft, what, what
- 20:05is the important taste that they're adding or they're
- 20:08subtracting to some of the AI drafts?
- 20:11So brand context, we in our system, we could have baked that
- 20:15in inherently on our AI side, but we have copywriters that
- 20:18stay with the the client for the lifetime of that contract.
- 20:22The reason that we do that is so we're not just having a content
- 20:25mail, we're having somebody that is actually overseeing that
- 20:27brand's voice for the lifetime of that engagement.
- 20:33AI has a, a neutral tone, right? Like obviously you can kind of
- 20:38train it in different directions.
- 20:39But like I saw study recently that like the vast majority of
- 20:43the English language is slowly kind of narrowing down and we're
- 20:45all sounding more and more similar because we're using more
- 20:48and more AI. People are starting to pick up
- 20:51on what AI generated text looks like.
- 20:53So we, as you know, writers in this space, if we're using AI,
- 20:57it's our job to go in and make it sound like a person wrote it,
- 21:01break up the Menominee of that paragraph, throw in a typo, you
- 21:05know, like be human and say something silly from time to
- 21:08time. We don't always need to follow
- 21:10the formula that AI is going to print out.
- 21:12And so our copywriters are trained on that brand.
- 21:15They're also trained in, hey, like, what would you do?
- 21:18How would you write this? And then on the technical side,
- 21:22looking for link structure, like I mentioned, a lot of AI is
- 21:25really not great at internal and external links.
- 21:28It can hallucinate links or it can just pull links that are how
- 21:34to say this, I guess topically relevant, but not relevant to
- 21:37that specific group. As in they were writing for a
- 21:41law firm. It may reference motor vehicle
- 21:46law, but for motorcycle, not a car.
- 21:50And we're, we need this, you know, this link to car related.
- 21:53So that's the technical side that our team is looking for to
- 21:56make sure that the external links are all contextualized for
- 22:01the topic that we're writing about.
- 22:04Amazing. I want I want to learn a little.
- 22:06Bit more about your business, but before we do I.
- 22:09And. I got you here in the hot seat.
- 22:10Why don't you give us a checklist for good SEOAEOGEO,
- 22:16whatever the acronym is for a high-ranking blog post.
- 22:23Like what are all the elements that go into creating just an
- 22:26absolute blockbuster post that will be indexed and ultimately
- 22:30Dr. traffic and leads? Yeah.
- 22:32So I was going to start out with the topic itself.
- 22:35Go into the the tool of your choice.
- 22:37We use Semrush for a lot of stuff.
- 22:40Do some keyword research, find out what is going to actually
- 22:43deliver people to your website. Like is there enough search
- 22:47volume in this field? If there's only three people a
- 22:50month that are looking for the topic writing about, OK, that
- 22:53doesn't really provide measurable impact to our
- 22:56organization. But if we're going after a topic
- 22:57that is 30,000 search queries a month, fantastic.
- 23:00Like if we can capture a percentage of that, that's a
- 23:03really great route to go after. The hurdle with that is the more
- 23:06volume, the higher the keyword difficulty can be.
- 23:09So you kind of need to find a blends of low keyword
- 23:12difficulty, high volume so that you can rank relatively quickly
- 23:15in that and then you can actually see the impact.
- 23:16So picking topics you're going to go after, don't just throw
- 23:20like a random thing at the wall, like do some research.
- 23:22Make sure you're actually writing about things your
- 23:24customers are looking for. So topic is key.
- 23:27Content quality is massive. Make sure it's not just jargon.
- 23:31Make sure it's not just regurgitating things that you
- 23:33can copy and paste from another website and put onto your
- 23:36website. It's so bland that it doesn't
- 23:39provide value. You need to have high quality
- 23:41content. And then the next couple things
- 23:43I would say is as I've kind of braided before as link
- 23:46structure, make sure you have internal links, make sure you
- 23:49have external links. Even if the links, the external
- 23:51links are two competitors, that's OK.
- 23:54The example I like to use is if I make physical phones like a, a
- 23:57cell phone and I write about that on my website, but I don't
- 24:01link to Apple or Samsung, we're showing the Internet that we
- 24:05have a hole in our content or in our knowledge base.
- 24:08We're not referencing some of the largest phone manufacturers
- 24:10out there. Do we need to reference Apple in
- 24:12every single post? Absolutely not.
- 24:14But we should at least at some point reference some of the
- 24:18people that have come before us and some of the people that have
- 24:20great information. So links are massive.
- 24:23Most people only focus on internal links, but external
- 24:25links are a major driver. The next thing I would say is
- 24:29the data markup behind the blog itself.
- 24:32So, you know, do you have your headers tagged appropriately?
- 24:35Do you have your H1? Do you have your H2?
- 24:38Do you have the author schema? Do you have image alt text
- 24:41behind your image itself? Things of that nature Make sure
- 24:44set up. The last thing that I would say
- 24:47coming from or focus on the Geo side is question answer based
- 24:52content. That one comes into the topic
- 24:53that you're going after. But for every blog that we
- 24:56write, we always put an FAQ at the bottom that really just kind
- 24:58of has the quick hits on that overall article.
- 25:02With AI search, people are looking for answers.
- 25:06So my goal is to answer all of the questions that could ever
- 25:09exist for this topic or this field before they're asked so
- 25:12that when they're asked, it's a one to one, I have that answer.
- 25:16So FAQs tend to be very, very strong at helping you show up in
- 25:21AI Search. So that's those are the things
- 25:23to look out for is topic, content quality, link structure,
- 25:28data markup behind the content and then have an FAQ and you're
- 25:31in a pretty good spot. Brilliant.
- 25:34I love it. OK, let's talk about Nina.
- 25:36How big's the team, when did you get started and what are your
- 25:39ideal customers and so? We are a really small team right
- 25:42now. It's pretty much founder LED.
- 25:45We have just a handful of guys out there.
- 25:48We've been running officially since December or November of
- 25:512025, but we've been building this thing in the background
- 25:54since June of 2025. So we kind of we're under the
- 25:59radar for good and six to eight months, whatever that timeline
- 26:02is, just kind of figuring out how this thing works.
- 26:06Anybody can go to ChatGPT and say, read your blog.
- 26:10The quality of that blog, the strategy behind that blog, the
- 26:13linking behind that blog, the editing you have to do, the
- 26:16formatting you have to do once you put in your CMS is just time
- 26:19and time intensive. So it took us a long time to
- 26:22actually figure out on how do we connect an API into, you know,
- 26:26Wix, WordPress, HubSpot, Wenflow, all of the different
- 26:29CMSS, how do we get the right structure?
- 26:31How do we do the strategy? So a lot went into getting to
- 26:34the part where we felt good enough to actually, you know,
- 26:36reveal that to the public. But you know, very gratefully
- 26:39the the public has received it quite well and now we're grown
- 26:42at A at a pretty healthy clip. Who's your favorite clients?
- 26:48Is this seems like perfect for e-commerce?
- 26:51It seems perfect for B to B SAS. Any kind of favorites?
- 26:57I like to tell her to work with people that have a lot to write
- 26:59it out. That's where we are the most
- 27:01successful and that's also the most fun because we get to learn
- 27:04about a lot. And I know that's a relatively
- 27:06vague kind of statement there, but we work with people in the
- 27:09travel industry. There's so much to talk about
- 27:12for travel. There's, you know, the location,
- 27:14the weather, the food, the music, the culture, the top
- 27:18things to do in this area. There's just a wealth of content
- 27:20that we can write about. That also is like travel.
- 27:23It's informative for me, you know, on that the next trip we
- 27:25might go on, but also just really interesting.
- 27:27We also found a ton of success and really enjoy working in the
- 27:32the home building space because there's a lot of code, there's a
- 27:35lot of technical things that need to be covered when you're
- 27:39looking at the contractor, the home builder you're going to
- 27:41work with. So As for us, it's a fun
- 27:43technical challenge to make sure that we're never representing
- 27:47information wrong. And it so are like we get to
- 27:50learn about the areas that we're writing about.
- 27:52We're not just putting stuff into ChatGPT.
- 27:55And then why me posting it Like we're actually reviewing this
- 27:58and and engaging in it. But I would say the people that
- 28:00we do well with, it's like I said, hi a ton to talk about
- 28:04because you have a lot of skews. You're operating a lot of
- 28:06locations. Yeah.
- 28:10And e-commerce is a great place because you actually see the
- 28:13value in e-commerce. Some businesses spend so much
- 28:15time on their websites, but they don't transact through their
- 28:17website. They're they need one client a
- 28:20month or you know, they don't need volume. e-commerce teams
- 28:23need volume so they can convert at specific percentages and then
- 28:26bring those people down that funnel.
- 28:28So we we enjoy E com because it is a direct one to one that we
- 28:33can show of what you invested this into us into content and
- 28:36cool. Now we can actually see the
- 28:38purchases that were made, how they got into your website and
- 28:41it it's very easy for us to show our value there.
- 28:44So never going to say no to E com because it's that's a win
- 28:47for everybody. Yeah.
- 28:49And let's talk about the results a little bit.
- 28:51So you know, let's say we're starting at 0, we're just
- 28:53getting the content program going.
- 28:55We open up the Search Console, you can see where you're at like
- 28:58OK, we have impressions, we have clicks.
- 29:01Like how soon should people expect to start to seeing a
- 29:04lift? And kind of like what are you
- 29:05looking for with within that Search console?
- 29:08Because it gives you kind of limited information in there.
- 29:11It definitely. Does and that's why one make
- 29:14sure you have search console, make sure Google Analytics set
- 29:16up on your website. That's just a baseline for
- 29:17everybody. If you have the money or if you
- 29:20work with an agency, have them pull some Sam Rush reports for
- 29:23you. We use on, we use Sam Rush AHS
- 29:26and Moz, but we rely on Sam Rush for a lot of keyword
- 29:30understandings and our timeline for impact really ranges based
- 29:34on domain authority. Domain authority is a major
- 29:38driver of your success online because it's just the relevancy
- 29:42to Google. And So what we found is with
- 29:44people that have domain authorities above called 35,
- 29:47their content is indexed faster and we're able to start seeing
- 29:51keyword growth within one to three weeks.
- 29:53We're able to see impression growth within two to four weeks
- 29:55and then click growth between call it two to six weeks really
- 29:59depending on the topics that we're going after.
- 30:01So with lower domain authority websites, I would say push all
- 30:04those timelines back by a week or two.
- 30:07Our team does manually go through and index the content,
- 30:09so we can kind of compress that timeline as quick as we can.
- 30:11But our goal is that there's positive indicators within the
- 30:16first four weeks of our engagement.
- 30:18We initially looked for keyword growth.
- 30:20Honestly, that's why I love what we do is we get to look at third
- 30:23party graphs that validate the efficacy of what we do.
- 30:26And so keyword growth comes first, impression growth comes
- 30:29after that click growth. And then the longest standing
- 30:31metric that we're looking for is domain authority growth over,
- 30:34you know, 6 to 12 months. Unbelievable.
- 30:38So you know, used to be like, OK, we're thinking about it SEO
- 30:41plan. This has got to probably like 6
- 30:43months of legs, you know? But you're saying it's in weeks.
- 30:47Yes, for initial, you know, initial impact, I don't want to
- 30:50go and say that we're going to change your world, you know,
- 30:52overnight and within this first month.
- 30:54A lot of SEO is a time game because we need to build that
- 30:57credibility with Google and with Bing and with the LMS. So, you
- 31:02know, we always push people. Let's do something for three
- 31:05months and then at three months, let's step back and see where we
- 31:07can improve. Is this the right effort for
- 31:09you? What do we need to tweak?
- 31:11But what we've found is, you know, content is only one aspect
- 31:15of your website. It's called 10 to 15% of your
- 31:17website. SCL could be 50% of it.
- 31:21So we're we're underneath SCL. So contents great, but make sure
- 31:25your site has good load times. Make sure you don't have any
- 31:28four O 4 errors. Make sure that your, you know,
- 31:31your site is healthy and that will help our content improve.
- 31:34So we are a part of a larger system and when people have a
- 31:38sound system that we get to plug into, those results come very
- 31:41quickly. If you don't have a sound
- 31:43system, we normally catch that within the first, you know,
- 31:46couple weeks and are able to say, hey, these are edits that
- 31:49you should make that are outside of the content space.
- 31:51That will just help your your site and us perform overall
- 31:56cool. OK I just went to Moz and they
- 31:59have a free domain authority checker so I put it in for the
- 32:02podcast AI for founders.co which is it's about a year old at this
- 32:07point. I have a domain authority of
- 32:0910/8 linking root domains, 2 ranking keywords, a spam score
- 32:14of 2%. How dare you.
- 32:18It's got top pages by link. It has top linking domains,
- 32:22which is Beehive, which makes sense because that's our
- 32:25newsletter. And then at this Transistor FM
- 32:28podcast Republic, a lot of different podcast players are
- 32:30giving kind of some some backlinks.
- 32:36How cooked am I and what can I do to improve?
- 32:40I honestly you're not cooked at all.
- 32:42That 2% spam score not alarming at all.
- 32:44Like so there are farms and sites out there that link to
- 32:49everything and they are malicious.
- 32:51The goal is obviously we don't have many of those, but most
- 32:53sites have a couple negative links of just a directory at an,
- 32:58you know, Eastern Europe or something that it's linked to.
- 33:00I'm assuming that, you know, the 2% down there is probably some
- 33:04BS links, but that's a relatively healthy score.
- 33:08Like you said, domain authority is a timeline thing plus a
- 33:11backlinking and on site content effort.
- 33:14So for you guys, it's let's go and put more content on site.
- 33:18Let's go and get more backlinks. It's the same thing that most
- 33:22other people need to do is you need to let Google know who you
- 33:24are, what we're talking about, why we're doing it so that when
- 33:27people are searching for information on the AI space, we
- 33:31pop up. So the the prescription, if you
- 33:33will, is, is the same. Put more on site content and get
- 33:37some of those backlinks. One of the biggest benefits you
- 33:39have is by having this podcast, you have the transcripts, we
- 33:42have the show notes. Really recommend putting each
- 33:44podcast on the website as its own, you know, page underneath a
- 33:47larger category and then actually have the transcript
- 33:50right there. Transcripts of podcast and of
- 33:54audio recordings are really great because it packs a lot of
- 33:56natural language into your website.
- 33:59When I keyword packing, we are putting words in that are
- 34:02relative to what the audience is looking for.
- 34:05That's a really big benefit we've seen with podcast in
- 34:07general is, yes, there's some linking value, but also, you
- 34:11know, however long we talked for, there's 10:20, 30-40
- 34:14minutes of words that we can now put onto our website that are
- 34:18contextually relevant. Yeah, you know, with podcast.
- 34:22Transcripts. I've considered doing that and
- 34:24instead I kind of will do summations of frameworks of
- 34:28experiments to run summaries, links kind of that largely
- 34:32because when you read podcast transcripts, scripts, it's
- 34:36terrible. You know, so much is in a
- 34:39conversation is communicated with like body language or a
- 34:42twinkle in the eye or humor that when you see it written out,
- 34:46you're like, boy, this guy's barely literate.
- 34:48So I, I was kind of horrified by my transcripts.
- 34:50You think it's worth it to do an attachment page to that page
- 34:54where if somebody wanted to click in and read the
- 34:56transcript, it's there, But I'm just, I'm worried about kind of
- 34:59turning people off that actually land on that page.
- 35:02That is a very, very. Valid, you know, red flag to
- 35:06raise And I would say, I mean what you're doing is, is
- 35:08positive you are providing contextual information on the
- 35:12site already. I'd have to look through, you
- 35:14know, how long these summaries are.
- 35:17The primary value of actual transcript is truly just like
- 35:20the length, the amount of words that we're saying.
- 35:22You can get that onto the site. What you're doing is probably
- 35:26great already. So do we need to make a second
- 35:29page? No.
- 35:30I would just look at the structure at which you're
- 35:32uploading that in. Make sure you have the right
- 35:35structure. Make sure that the H ones are
- 35:37really snappy and keywords focused.
- 35:40It doesn't just say you know the person's name, end of the
- 35:42business, it's what we're talking about and then the
- 35:45person's name in the business. Google's looking for a lot of
- 35:49title tags when they're looking for keywords, so making sure we
- 35:52have to be the relevant keywords in that title tag is probably
- 35:54going to be the biggest impact for you, OK.
- 35:57Amazing, you know, and I, I realize I'm just getting free
- 36:00consulting here with this podcast interview, but I think
- 36:04it's for helpful for people to hear largely because I'm very
- 36:07bullish on podcasting for a lot of obvious reasons, But like
- 36:10it's been so good to me and like, you know, done 8 figures
- 36:13in revenue large to to podcasting and for founders
- 36:16listening to this, it's like, dude, start a podcast.
- 36:19You know the the tangible results are difficult to like it
- 36:22doesn't fit on a spreadsheet neatly or put it that way, but
- 36:25the long tail effects of podcasting, there's so many
- 36:28opportunities. It's immense.
- 36:30I mean I. Sorry, I was, I was just going
- 36:33to say that. I think that people really dis,
- 36:35I don't want to say discount individual marketing efforts
- 36:38like podcasting because it's like, wow, that takes time, that
- 36:41takes effort. e-mail marketing, so many people are like, I don't
- 36:44want to do e-mail. It just takes a long time.
- 36:45It's not going to lead to anything.
- 36:47A lot of marketing efforts suck and you're going to suck at it
- 36:52for a year or two years. Marketing is a game of
- 36:55resiliency. And like I saw a while ago, to
- 36:58be in one of the top like top couple percentage of podcast
- 37:01hosts, you need to get like 20 to 30 podcasts out there.
- 37:05So it's just resilience. If you can last, you can really
- 37:09grow that that audience. And I mean, you've, you've done
- 37:11it on the podcast side, you've done it on the e-mail side,
- 37:15picking the lane that you're going to be in and just
- 37:16continuing to go forward. Don't quit when there's a, a
- 37:20bump the road. Don't quit when there's a
- 37:21massive spike and you think you've made it like you just
- 37:23need to keep doing the marketing efforts.
- 37:25And the vast majority of the time, you get better at it and
- 37:27it works out better for you. Yeah, you know, it's a content
- 37:31play. You know, I've, I've, I just
- 37:33checked, I've got 443 pages indexed in in Google, which I'm
- 37:38stoked for, you know, but but we're really doing like kind of
- 37:42creative things. So we have the episodes, of
- 37:43course. So every episode has its page,
- 37:46then every founder there, their product goes into our selected
- 37:51resources, which are, you know, top products for 2026.
- 37:55So each of those companies has its own page where we kind of
- 37:58breakdown what it is, who it's for, why it's better.
- 38:02And then we pull all the frameworks that founders talk
- 38:05about because, you know, I, I'm so lucky to talk to industry
- 38:08experts like you, where you can break down exactly like this is
- 38:10exactly how you want to structure blog posts.
- 38:13Good luck, you know, but that becomes a framework.
- 38:15And then there's 243 frameworks from the conversations we've had
- 38:19on this podcast, 140 episodes or whatever.
- 38:22Then we do AI founder experiments, a little projects
- 38:26if people want to do, we have a glossary on there.
- 38:29So it's like there's so many, so much opportunity around
- 38:32podcasting to create this like really cool content.
- 38:34So it's always trying to figure out ways to, to spin it out.
- 38:37One for like people that would be interested.
- 38:39You know, I put the glossary on there for me because I get so
- 38:42lost in these acronyms, but I don't even know what we're
- 38:45talking about anymore. I talked to, you know, data
- 38:47scientists. I'm like, bro, we're going to
- 38:49have to break down all those letters and numbers 'cause I
- 38:51have no idea what you're. Doing I mean I but I think.
- 38:56The. Idea of confidence legs is so
- 38:58important because like you're, you're taking this one podcast
- 39:01and breaking it down into these different resources.
- 39:03And like a lot of people in marketing, they do something
- 39:06once and then that that was the effort.
- 39:08They didn't actually, you know, push it into all the different
- 39:12social platforms, turn into a blog post, turn it into
- 39:14something that the CEO is sharing or LinkedIn.
- 39:16Like exactly what you're doing is what people should be doing
- 39:19is if we record something, make sure it has three to five use
- 39:22cases. If we're posting something, make
- 39:24sure can go to three to five different platforms.
- 39:26Like the legs of content is super super important A. 100%
- 39:31and. You know, Nina becomes very
- 39:33important because, you know, I can talk about these things I'm
- 39:35doing and I record 3 or 4 hours of podcasts a week.
- 39:39I've been doing this for 10 years.
- 39:42And I've worked with so many. Podcast people that are like,
- 39:44ah, their enthusiasm for doing podcast is real big in the
- 39:47beginning. They, they get through 3 or 4
- 39:49episodes, they're like, dude, this is a lot of work.
- 39:51It's like, yeah, man, it, it really is it's, it's a lot of
- 39:54work and the results sometimes are intangible.
- 39:56I like to be like, oh, look at my pages are being indexed.
- 39:59That's a big win for me. But some, some folks, you know,
- 40:03treat their time a little bit different.
- 40:05So when you have Nina, it's like, OK, yeah, look at the
- 40:07opportunities for content we have all over the place.
- 40:10And you know, Caitlin and his team is going to go take us over
- 40:13the top, you know, because looking at charts that go up
- 40:16into the right. It's always satisfying, it's the
- 40:18best and absolutely is and I think.
- 40:20That a lot of people, a lot of people are forced into marketing
- 40:24because they're a business owner or they had, you know,
- 40:27independent business owner that's just getting started or
- 40:30they had some other marketing team leave and now they need to
- 40:32kind of step into that role and they're looking for quick wins.
- 40:35There's very few quick wins in marketing and it is a game of
- 40:41resiliency. And you know, doing those 33
- 40:44podcasts and quitting isn't going to show you the results.
- 40:47And that's why I think teams like me, like Nina, are a really
- 40:52great resource because our job is to basically make a blog
- 40:55content set in, forget it. As a marketer, you need to do
- 40:58Everything Everywhere, all the time.
- 40:59So as many set in, forget it efforts as you can build and
- 41:03kick off the better for you because you have other people
- 41:06working on your behalf or a system that's working on your
- 41:08behalf. And can you go and write blog
- 41:10posts? Absolutely.
- 41:13How much time is it going to take?
- 41:14What does the formatting look like, blah, blah, blah.
- 41:16Like sometimes it's easier to just offload some of that effort
- 41:19so you can focus on what's more important Because like I said,
- 41:21blogs are not the primary driver of your site's success.
- 41:23They're a contributing factor. Go put your time elsewhere.
- 41:26Go put your time in actually building your business.
- 41:28And I mean, I think that's every aspect of business, right?
- 41:30Focus on what you're good at and then outsource the rest to other
- 41:33people that are great at the things you're outsourcing them
- 41:35to take on. A lot of business owners
- 41:37struggle at letting go and letting go of the things you're
- 41:41not great at. And giving them to experts is
- 41:43such a better use of your time and your money than just trying
- 41:46to, you know, bullishly kind of learn everything yourself and do
- 41:49everything yourself because at scale, you can't do it all.
- 41:53There's only 24 hours of the day.
- 41:55Yeah. And you know.
- 41:56Now, especially with AI, it's like invest in expertise, you
- 42:00know, because, you know, the companies will hire me as a host
- 42:06for their podcast because they give it a shot and they realize
- 42:09just talking in front of a glowing rectangle is actually
- 42:12not the easiest thing in the world, you know?
- 42:14So they're like, oh, get Ryan to do it, you know, and I'll, I'll
- 42:17get them started. You know.
- 42:18So in this case, it's like, yeah, you could just like take
- 42:20AI slop and put it on your website and, you know, cross
- 42:23your fingers, hope, hope something good happens.
- 42:25Invest in expertise. And I think that's where what
- 42:27you're doing is so important. OK, so we're we're at that time,
- 42:31the podcast, we're ready to enter the quantum round.
- 42:34Are you ready for this? Yeah.
- 42:35But yeah, let's do it. You have no.
- 42:38Choice. OK, what is your favorite cue
- 42:42when you read something that it was written by AI and I'll go
- 42:46first. The one, the one that took me a
- 42:49while now to to discover is where they're like.
- 42:52That's not an optimized blog post, that's a dumpster fire
- 42:56every time. I see that.
- 42:57That's not a blank, that's a blank.
- 42:59I'm like, I get it clawed right there.
- 43:01See, I see your signature. I That is a good one and.
- 43:04Honestly probably the direction I was going to go.
- 43:06I mean, everybody knows M dash is even though regular people
- 43:09use M-IS. That's a very surface level
- 43:11thing. The comparison is also a very
- 43:15common 1. Short paragraphs tend to be a
- 43:18good sign of AI content. The word discovered the word.
- 43:26Enabled like. Some of those buzzwords, if
- 43:29they're used in more often than a regular person would write,
- 43:33like most people don't say the word discovered more than once
- 43:36or twice in a, you know, an article in some AI content, you
- 43:40can see that there's like cool, that word was used seven times
- 43:43and it's at the beginning of each paragraph.
- 43:45So cool, they're just dropping that buzzword in.
- 43:48I would say that repetition is the the go to tell for me right
- 43:52out of the gate. Yeah.
- 43:54I. Always say like, you know, try
- 43:56not to say mote and don't say leverage.
- 44:00It's like, you know, I also I'm going to.
- 44:03I'm going to tangent one quick check, if you'll let me is the,
- 44:06you mentioned AI checkers before.
- 44:09Everybody's like, oh, we got to get by AI checkers.
- 44:11As we said before, Google does not care about AI as long as
- 44:14it's good AI, it's good content. So a lot of people are like,
- 44:17well, doesn't pass an AI checker.
- 44:19If you want to pass an AI checker, put a typo in.
- 44:22If you put a typo in, the vast majority of AI checkers will now
- 44:25just say it's human generated. It's like that shows how
- 44:29elementary the AI checkers are currently.
- 44:32And if you're going to judge quality of content on an AI
- 44:35checker, and I know that, just put in a typo and cool, It's
- 44:39100% human written. Like that's an easy game to
- 44:41play, yeah. I like the Harry Potter game
- 44:44too, is like just take a brick of Harry Potter text and put it
- 44:47in there and it'd be like this is 40% AI generated.
- 44:50Exactly. You draw the press.
- 44:51Release and same thing. Yeah, totally.
- 44:55OK, cool. What part of your personality
- 44:57has changed the most since becoming an entrepreneur?
- 45:02It's a really great. Question.
- 45:06I think I'm. Going to say self-confidence.
- 45:13I was working in startups before kind of going out on my own.
- 45:16And in the startup world, you have to be confident to begin
- 45:18with. You have to believe in what you
- 45:19have. But I was believing in somebody
- 45:21else's mission and somebody else's vision.
- 45:24So going out of my own and all of a sudden being the person has
- 45:27to back up all of the words you know, and entirely and
- 45:30invalidate everything is really, really scary thing.
- 45:33But once you do that and that becomes a part of who you are,
- 45:35you do you take a lot more pride and stuff, at least for me
- 45:38personally. And so by running my own
- 45:40businesses and being my own boss, it's probably that I can
- 45:44do anything. It's just a matter of time in
- 45:46order to get there. And sometimes it's worth paying
- 45:49somebody to be the expert and leave me there, and other times
- 45:51it's worth just putting my head down and becoming the expert.
- 45:53And so I would say my confidence in my ability to just execute
- 45:57and learn things quickly is is grown the most since, you know,
- 46:02opening up my own shops. Cool, Aside from Nina, what else
- 46:08are you building with AI right now?
- 46:09Or what experiments you running? Well, it's all under the name if
- 46:14you will. It's not necessarily released
- 46:16yet, but we're starting to look at what we found is that on site
- 46:20content can really manipulate Cha chi PT, but it doesn't
- 46:23manipulate other LMS in the same way.
- 46:25So we're starting to look at, you know, high volume of press
- 46:27releases or leveraging press releases to manipulate quad
- 46:30press releases don't have an SEO value the same way they used to,
- 46:33but they have that Geo value that we were talking about.
- 46:35So we're looking at, you know, how do we start pushing press
- 46:38releases out of press Flyers at a low cost, high quality to high
- 46:42rate. We're also looking at how do we,
- 46:44you know, engage with the Reddit community in an organic way so
- 46:47we can manipulate LMS. My goal in our true north is how can we
- 46:51get our clients to show up in Google search, but also LM
- 46:54search at a higher rate than their competitors.
- 46:56So just stay on the bleeding edge of those models and
- 47:00understanding how they're pulling information is where we
- 47:02want to be. That's the the primary focus.
- 47:05And you know, we hope to be that high volume, high content, high
- 47:07quality household, you know, within the next 6 to 12 months,
- 47:11hopefully. Amazing.
- 47:15Should we expect that your next two projects will be the Pinta
- 47:19and Santa Maria? Potentially, you know, really
- 47:22like naming nomenclature, the name of this business is
- 47:25actually built off the name of a, a previous business I have.
- 47:28So we like to kind of, you know, string things through and that's
- 47:31a pretty organic, organic growth route, especially if we stay in
- 47:34content. It might be, you know, I'll give
- 47:36you a little credit if that's the route we go.
- 47:38That'd be cool. That'd be.
- 47:39Cool. You know, although it's kind of,
- 47:41I guess it's, you know, Christopher Columbus.
- 47:44Is a little. Bit of a.
- 47:46Sensitive subject because. He was such a psychotic
- 47:49murderer. Yeah, number essentially the
- 47:52best background or next best thing to build from.
- 47:55I would more look at, you know, The Lonely Island and some of
- 47:58their songs as the the reference that I'd be leaning on.
- 48:03Yeah, that's like my. Favorite episode of The Sopranos
- 48:07When Tony starts losing his mind because people were like,
- 48:11there's backlash on on Christopher Columbus, you know,
- 48:15at this point, I mean, you know, whatever, whatever.
- 48:17But you know, in the 90s it was still kind of like he was a
- 48:20sacred person for Italians, you know, So like, there's like a
- 48:23great scene where there's some protest in the indigenous Native
- 48:27Americans are like fighting with Tony and his gang.
- 48:29It's so, it's so funny and the cops are getting involved.
- 48:32It's great. That.
- 48:34Show was wild. Tony Soprano is an absolute icon
- 48:37of a dangerous icon, but an icon nonetheless.
- 48:41Amazing. OK.
- 48:43Want to give a shout out to Chick Mission, which is
- 48:46important to you and your family?
- 48:47Give us a little overview of Chick Mission.
- 48:49People can check that out. It's the Chick mission.org.
- 48:52Yeah, Chick Missions have a. Great group that my wife has
- 48:55been involved with. They help women that are going
- 48:57through are about to go into breast cancer treatment, freeze
- 49:01their eggs. So they're they have the
- 49:02opportunity to have children down the line in the event
- 49:04they're a young woman. So some of them my wife has been
- 49:07involved with and big supporter of for a long time.
- 49:10So I wanted to give them a shout out as they're doing some really
- 49:13great things. Breast cancer impacts way too
- 49:15many people in this country and a lot of people don't know about
- 49:17the impact that it could have on fertility until they're kind of
- 49:20going through that technician helps them learn about that as
- 49:22well as helps cover some of the costs of fertility treatment and
- 49:26the egg freezing process. So just a great group that we
- 49:29like to support. Incredible ladies and.
