## Resource

What happens when a media company goes all-in on AI for 2.5 years? In this special episode, Michael Stelzner and Ali Kelly, Director of Memberships at Social Media Examiner, pull back the curtain on how their team actually uses AI every day — the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons they've learned along the way. You'll discover how they use AI to curate daily news for marketers, how AI helped reposition an entire product's messaging based on customer data, and how a 60-minute live training gets turned into a full resource kit using AI-powered workflows. Whether you're just getting started or deep into your own AI journey, this episode is packed with real-world examples you can apply to your marketing and business.
