We then interview Robert Rose, a content marketing genius who gives us the lowdown on what works, what doesn't, and how you can win.

This week, Travis and Stewart discuss the latest in AI-powered apps and show that you don't have to be a massive organization to use artificial intelligence across your product or service. They also work their way through a list of 100 cryptocurrencies and explain what these blockchain-powered tokens mean for the future of payments. Then, we interview the amazing Peggy Anne Salz, who knows more about mobile marketing and the future of smartphones than almost anyone. The future looks bright, and not just because we turned up the screen brightness to cornea-burning levels.
