In this episode Max Sinclair dives into the rapidly evolving world of AI-driven commerce. The discussion kicks off with a deep dive into GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, a fresh paradigm that parallels SEO but targets visibility within AI platforms like Amazon’s Rufus, ChatGPT, and Google’s Gemini. Max shares how AI tools are fundamentally reshaping customer discovery, revealing just how pervasive AI has become in the modern shopping experience—especially on platforms like Amazon, where Rufus now influences up to 14% of all searches.
Max unpacks the technological leap from traditional algorithms to large language models, detailing how tools like COSMO and Rufus are trained to understand not just keywords, but context, audience, and purpose. He outlines actionable strategies for sellers to optimize their listings both visually and textually—incorporating seasonality, event-based relevance, and customer use cases—to thrive in AI-powered search environments. Listeners also get a glimpse into how tools like Ecomtent help brands stay ahead with continuous listing optimization and trend tracking across generative platforms.
Looking ahead, Max shares his predictions for the AI-driven future of e-commerce: more voice-based, personalized shopping journeys and lower barriers for entrepreneurs to launch their own ventures with AI-powered efficiency. While excited about the opportunities, he also raises critical concerns about global job displacement and digital inequality. This episode is a must-listen for sellers eager to stay competitive in the age of AI.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
