Episode 79: How can you use AI to make memes that don’t just go viral—but help you (and your business) make millions? Nathan Lands (https://x.com/NathanLands) is joined by Jason Levin (https://x.com/iamjasonlevin), the creator of Memelord.com.

Jason shares the wild story behind dropping memes that rack up millions of views (sometimes turning into Rolling Stone hit pieces and death threats), landing $3M in funding, and why he believes memes are the most underrated marketing lever in business today. The episode dives deep into the Memelord software—a powerful AI toolkit for mass meme creation—complete with live demos, meme tactics for brands, and a glimpse at how Memelord aims to democratize next-gen content creation (movies included). If you care about making your brand stand out in a crowded feed, or just want to understand the culture-driving force of memes, this episode is for you.
