"Clash of the Cohosts: Prompt This Smackdown II"

Guest Introductions

Time for something a little different and have some fun. This episode brings back the ten most recent Prompt This guests and turns them into "Rapid Fire Smackdown" competitors.

You get a mix of CEOs, operators, analysts, and AI builders including Erik Archer Smith, Emily Maxie, Julie Trelstad, Ken Roden, Warren Kucker, Brooks Bush, Bruce Daley, Joshus Gould, Dr. Shelli Hendricks, and Martin Schneider.

Clint and Greg draft from this pool and go head to head. No long interviews. Just their best answers, put under pressure.

Two teams with very excited captains. Five questions about AI realities. One AI judge.  Lots of fun.

 Episode Summary

This episode is fast, competitive, and a bit unpredictable.

Clint comes in as the defending champion. Greg comes in prepared and looking to steal the belt.

They draft teams from past guests and run five rapid fire questions that cut straight to what matters in AI right now. No theory. No polished talking points. Just real answers from people doing the work.

What makes this one worth your time is how quickly the noise drops away.

You hear what experienced operators actually think is overhyped. Where real competitive advantage is showing up. What they refuse to trust AI with. And where leaders are still getting it wrong.

Some answers are practical. Some are blunt. A few are uncomfortable.

And when ChatGPT is forced to pick winners, it exposes something even more interesting. AI does not always judge the way you expect.

The momentum swings. The arguments tighten. And by the final round, it comes down to a single idea that cuts to the core of how AI should be used in business.

You will have your own opinion on who won.
