Ralph Burns and Lauren Petrullo sit down with online video storytelling expert Ian Garlic to unpack the collision of artificial intelligence and video marketing. Broadcasting from the legendary Casa de Garlic, they dive into how AI is reshaping content creation—and the critical difference between smart augmentation and soulless automation. Ian shares insider tools, real-world use cases (including a wild Florida Bar AI debacle), and a framework for scaling video that connects, converts, and ranks. From Descript to Airtable to human intuition, this episode is a must-listen for marketers navigating the noisy world of AI-generated everything.
