Episode Summary

In this episode of the ChatGPT Experiment, Cary Weston chats with Tom Schwab, the Chief Evangelist Officer of Interview Valet, an agency that helps businesses grow by leveraging podcast interviews. The conversation dives into the evolving landscape of search, particularly how AI and ChatGPT are shifting how potential customers discover businesses. They explore how long-form, collaborative content, especially podcasting, is becoming more valuable not just for human engagement, but for AI-driven discovery as well.

3 Key Takeaways

• AI Referrals Are Real (and Growing): ChatGPT is now a top source of qualified referrals for Interview Valet. Users are asking it for recommendations, and it’s returning well-ranked sources based on long-form content and sentiment.

• Long-Form, Collaborative Content Wins: AI and people both value deep, authentic conversations. Podcast interviews, in particular, rank well because they offer substantial, sentiment-rich content.

• Be Discoverable and Authentic: Businesses should focus on clarity—clearly state who you serve and who you don’t. Creating helpful, honest content (including tone and voice) improves AI visibility and builds trust with real people too.
