The Earned Email, You Are a B2B Service and Caring If It’s Human Episode

This week, with his guests away, our host Ian Truscott takes a turn in the studio, going solo, and shares 5 f’in’ things that have caught his eye this week. 

Those things were:

• Email has become earned, not owned - inspired by an issue of Ann Handley’s newsletter - Email Is Dead, Long Live Email

• Building a campfire - inspired by Joe Pulizzi’s newsletter - Stop Trying to Build a Community

• AI disruption of the software industry, at both ends of the scale

• Getting the creative balance right with AI - inspired by a LinkedIn post by Adriaan Bloem 

• We are all a B2B service providers now

 Ian then joins Robert Rose in the virtual bar, The Rose & Rockstar.

They keep the AI theme going with a discussion of whether people really care if content is AI-generated and how that opinion might be evolving. 

Enjoy!
