245: He Built the AI Network Big Tech Wants Access To (Followers Don't Matter) with Daniel Faggella

Today I'm talking to Daniel Faggella, who built and sold a $2 million ecommerce business so he could go all-in on artificial intelligence years before the rest of the business world caught up.

Daniel is now the founder of Emerj, an AI research and media company that works with companies like NVIDIA, Google Cloud, and Salesforce. He also hosts the AI in Business podcast, where he's spent years building relationships with the executives responsible for some of the biggest AI investments inside enterprise.

What makes his business especially interesting is that its value has very little to do with how many people download the podcast. Daniel built a network around people who had relatively little influence when he first started talking to them, but would eventually control massive budgets as AI became a priority.

We get into where AI actually stands inside large companies today, why smaller businesses may have an advantage over enterprise, and how Daniel thinks about positioning yourself around a market before the money and attention arrive.
