Today's show is a little different. It's not your standard interview style discussion, because today's guest is not our standard guest. He is an Emmy Award winner, an entrepreneur, inventor, and researcher. He's a master of advertising and marketing effectiveness. No-one has worked harder or been more effective at understanding the relationship between marketing effectiveness, emotions, motivations and drivers. And... he built it into a machine learning model.
So, what we're bringing you today is a first hand account from a pioneer in machine learning of how he built his AI, Bill Harvey. What do I mean by pioneer?
Well, Amazon got there in 1998 or 99, but today's guest built a machine learning recommendation engine that was embedded in cable tv boxes in 1997. Not too shabby, eh?
This year, McKinsey tells us that AI is at the top of CEO's agendas. As a CMO, you are probably all over gen AI and tools driven by machine learning too. That's why we thought you might want to hear this.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
