In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez steps back from the day‑to‑day drops to map three predictions marketers can actually bank on: the tech will keep getting better, adoption will keep climbing, and the combo will spark unpredictable (good and bad) consequences. Along the way he looks at benchmark trends, real usage data, and how to navigate doom narratives while leading with practical optimism. We also cover a fresh LinkedIn poll on why most haven’t launched a show yet, a 21‑day challenge to fix that, and a viral AI‑video example you can ethically borrow for creative ads.
