Summary
Interview Valet founder Tom Schwab challenges the seductive promise that one funnel, automation, or perfect sequence stands between you and business growth. Instead, he traces 200 years of communication technology - from Morse code to AI - revealing a pattern: each new tool got cheaper but stripped away human richness, until now. As synthetic content floods the internet, real conversations (especially podcast interviews) become the scarcest, most valuable form of trust-building. You're not one funnel away. You're one conversation away. The second installment in this special monthly series, Tom reads from his new mini-book, You Are Not One Funnel Away: The Real Way Trust Is Built In The Age of AI.
