I’m joined by Thiago E. Ferreira, Founder and CEO of Elevate AI Consulting and Adjunct Professor at the University of Miami, for a practical conversation on one of the biggest questions facing businesses right now: how do you get your business found and recommended in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and AI search?

Thiago breaks down how his own firm consistently appears as a top recommendation for AI consulting in Miami, competing for visibility alongside much larger firms. He explains why traditional SEO is evolving, how AI tools evaluate credibility, and what small businesses can do right now to improve their chances of showing up in AI-generated answers.

I also take you behind the scenes of my own client work with a South Florida dental practice that wanted to show up when potential patients searched for a dentist through ChatGPT, including the AEO, FAQ, schema, visibility, and AI enablement work we built together.

Whether you are a local business owner, consultant, entrepreneur, marketer, or founder, this episode will help you understand what it actually takes to build visibility in the age of AI search.

🔥 Topics we cover:

-- How to get your business found in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini
-- What Answer Engine Optimization, or AEO, actually means
-- Why credibility, case studies, testimonials, and reviews matter for AI visibility
-- Why your website, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, and other online information need to match
-- How podcasts, media mentions, and third-party authority can strengthen visibility
-- Why businesses should optimize around real customer prompts, not just keywords
-- How Thiago’s firm competes for AI search visibility alongside much larger consulting companies
-- How hands-on AI training can create immediate ROI inside organizations
-- Why Thiago believes AI should enhance employees, not replace them

I take you behind the scenes of Wellist Week in Miami, the first ever large-scale gathering bringing together founders, investors, scientists, clinicians, creators, and brands shaping the wellness economy.

First, I share my recap of the five AI panels I sat in on, covering everything from healthtech personalization and longevity science to digital twins, brand credibility, and what AI adoption actually looks like inside organizations right now.

Then I sit down with Dr. Antonio Vasaiely, Chief AI Officer at Beyond Pilots, for a grounded conversation about where companies really are with AI, what agentic AI means for wellness and longevity brands, and why personalization is about to raise the bar for everything.

Finally, I speak with Kunal Sood, founder of AudacityAI, about consciousness, leadership, infobesity, and why the most important thing any founder can do right now is get their story right before they train anything else.

Two very different perspectives. One complete picture of where AI and wellness are headed. In this bonus episode between seasons, I am bringing you inside those conversations.

🔥 Topics we cover:

• Why AI personalization is moving from demographics to the individual level in health and wellness
• How brands are using AI to build real credibility, and how others are using it to fake it
• What digital twins actually are and why your data is already building a version of you
• The three organizational challenges blocking real AI adoption, according to brain science
• Why outsourcing tasks to AI lowers satisfaction, and what collaboration with AI looks like instead
• What agentic AI means for wellness and longevity companies right now
• Why founders need to master their story before they hand anything over to a machine
• What "infobesity" is and why it may be the next major wellness challenge

I’m taking you inside what happened when I finally reactivated Claude Pro and started setting up my AI workspace in real life. I’m breaking down the bigger shift underneath this move, why Claude has been making headlines lately, what the launch of Claude for Small Businesses signals, and why I think the more useful question is no longer which platform is better, but what role each one plays in the way we actually think, create, and run a business.

This episode is also about the habits underneath AI adoption. I talk about why file naming protocols, folder structure, desktop organization, and clearer workflow language matter more than ever once AI starts living closer to your workspace. I also share why more people may need to rethink calling themselves non-technical as job titles, resumes, and the language of work continue to change.

This one is for founders, creatives, marketers, and AI-curious professionals who are starting to realize that the next level is not just better prompts, but better structure, better systems, and a setup that supports the way they actually work.
