The Dave Gerhardt Show (from Exit Five)

Dave is joined by Austin Distel, Head of Marketing Innovation at Jasper and former CMO at Proof. Austin was one of the earliest Jasper employees and we discussed the evolution of the company, lessons from building Proof, how the product at Jasper got initial traction, use cases and examples for AI in marketing today, why every B2B marketing team should be taking AI seriously, how to get beyond generic AI results, and handling some of the objections as to why marketers don't use AI today.
