In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez and Ken Freire dive deep into the concept of developing a portfolio of ideas. Rather than throwing out standalone concepts, they emphasize the importance of clustering ideas, identifying a unifying theme, and building a structured framework that elevates authority and impact. Dan shares personal lessons from years on LinkedIn and outlines how AI tools can be leveraged to analyze, group, and package your thoughts. If you've ever felt scattered in your thought leadership, this episode is the blueprint for becoming more intentional, cohesive, and impactful with your ideas.
