  • Building Bridges: Curiosity, Capacity & the Human Pulse

    Building Bridges: Curiosity, Capacity & the Human Pulse
    28 Sep 2026
    #GetCurious #Podcasting #CommunityBuilding #HumanConnection #Entrepreneurship #Curiosity #Leadership❓ Can you build a bridge without ever knowing who will cross it?Alex Sanfilippo is a podcaster and the founder of PodMatch, a platform that automatically matches podcast hosts and guests for interviews. Through PodMatch and his podcast, Podcasting Made Simple, Alex helps independent podcasters grow their influence and revenue so they can better serve their listeners.Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur and podcaster, Alex spent 15 years in the aerospace industry. His entrepreneurial journey began much earlier, when he started his first business selling used golf balls at age 10.Episode SummaryJLPalmer and Alex explore what it really means to build bridges between people.The conversation moves far beyond podcasting.We talk about the people who build bridges for us before we ever build them for someone else, why community has to be both built and earned, why entrepreneurs need to stay connected to the people they serve, and what gets lost when technology replaces human interaction.And underneath all of it is a simple idea:The bridge matters because of the people who cross it.Alex’s experience building PodMatch has taught him that solving a problem is only the beginning. Once you know the people you serve, you have an ongoing responsibility to understand what they need next.That requires curiosity.It requires conversation.And it requires staying close enough to the people you’re serving to actually hear what they’re telling you.Alex talks about being deeply involved in his own community, meeting people rather than relying entirely on scalable tactics, and using those conversations to inform the future of PodMatch.We also explore the tension between technology and human connection.AI can provide information quickly. Automation can remove friction. But Alex points to something that can’t be automated without changing the experience itself: the human-to-human interaction.His word for what’s missing?Pulse.A conversation about podcasting becomes a conversation about community, leadership, entrepreneurship, connection, and what it means to build something that still feels human.🤔 Reflection Questions* Who built a bridge for you before you ever started building bridges for others?* What would change if you spent more time talking directly with the people you serve?* Are you building a community, or simply creating a place for people to gather?* What part of your business have you automated that might actually need more human interaction?* Where are you trying too hard to scale something that would benefit from a personal touch?* Who are the people you are genuinely curious about?* What is A for the people you serve? What is C? What could your B be?* Where has technology made your business more efficient, and where might it be removing the pulse?🔗 Guest Links & ResourcesVisit Alex: Alex Sanfilippo’s official website: alexsanfilippo.com/aboutPodMatch:Connect podcast hosts and guests through PodMatch. https://www.joinpodmatch.com/jlpalmerPodcast: Podcasting Made Simple https://podmatch.com/episodesPodMatch Free Resource: A free resource with nine quick ideas for podcast hosts and guests. https://podmatch.com/freeBook Recommendation:The Business of Friendship by Shasta Nelson https://link.amazon/B08uFZjkGHave Alex as a Guest: Connect with Alex through his PodMatch Guest Profile. https://podmatch.com/guestdetail/alexContinue The ConversationWho has built a bridge for you?Who are you building one for?And what might happen if you stopped worrying about whether you’ll ever get credit for it?Join the conversation and share your biggest takeaway from this episode.Alex Sanfilippo, Thank You For Being Our Guest.🔊 Listen & SupportIf you enjoyed learning about bringing humanity back to business, let us know!Subscribe to Get Curious *Substack https://jlpalmerconsulting.substack.com* Leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-curious/id1896310446Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/033gBPugG42VQ2gLbxiaBd Amazon Music/Audible https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/385573a1-19f5-4c55-9d51-9f28c40f170d/get-curiousYouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Aje3THfcOPtkNcMbeme7hhL-QL0uT6o* Apple, Spotify, , YouTube* Join the Get Curious Community https://www.skool.com/getcurious-9367 - Courses coming soon* To be a guest on the Get Curious podcast.

  • What Happens When AI Is Better at Exploring Than We Are?

    What Happens When AI Is Better at Exploring Than We Are?
    25 Sep 2026
    What Happens When AI Is Better at Exploring Than We Are?Episode OverviewAI is getting better at exploring, creating, acting, and even helping build better AI.But what happens to us when the thing we're curious about becomes better at exploring than we are?In this episode of Get Curious, we look beyond the headlines about AI superintelligence and ask a more human question: what happens to our agency, curiosity, creativity, and humanity as AI becomes increasingly capable?From recursive AI development to Mark Zuckerberg's vision of personal superintelligence and Elon Musk's comments about AI becoming increasingly involved in improving future AI models, the technology is moving quickly.But perhaps the bigger question isn't how capable AI becomes.It's what we choose to remain responsible for.Key TakeawaysAI is moving from answering questions to exploring possibilities and taking action.As answers become increasingly abundant, the ability to ask meaningful questions may become more valuable.AI can generate enormous numbers of creative possibilities, but humans still decide what matters and what is worth pursuing.Increasingly capable AI agents raise important questions about delegation and human agency.AI is increasingly being used to help develop AI, raising questions about how much of future AI development humans will remain directly involved in.The future of AI isn't only a technology question. It's a human question.The Four QuestionsCuriosity:What happens when AI can explore more possibilities than we can?Creativity:If AI can generate almost endless possibilities, what becomes uniquely creative about choosing, shaping, and giving meaning to an idea?Agency:If AI increasingly acts on our behalf, what do we continue choosing and doing for ourselves?Humanity:When intelligence becomes abundant, what remains distinctly human?A Question to ConsiderWhat happens to human curiosity, judgment, creativity and agency when the thing we're curious about becomes better at exploring than we are?Keep ExploringWhat should we delegate to AI?What should we never delegate?What should AI help us explore?And what should we insist on exploring ourselves?I'm curious what you think.Follow the curiosity.

  • When Business Gets Too Automated

    When Business Gets Too Automated
    21 Sep 2026
    What happens when making business more efficient starts getting in the way of being human?Stephan Bajaio is the CEO and Co-Founder of VibeLogic and has spent more than 25 years working in SEO and digital marketing, helping major brands navigate the changing world of online visibility. He also co-founded Conductor, an enterprise organic marketing platform that reached a half-billion-dollar valuation.Episode SummaryWhat happens when technology, automation, AI, and digital efficiency begin to lose sight of the people they’re supposed to serve?In this episode of Get Curious, JLPalmer sits down with Stephan Bajaio to explore the human side of modern business.We talk about the growing distance between people and businesses, including what happens when job seekers have to get through an “AI firewall” just to reach a person. Stephan shares his perspective on people-first leadership, using the expertise already inside your organization, and why solving a customer’s problem matters more than simply trying to sell to them.The conversation also gets practical about websites and visibility. Use the words your customers actually use. Make important information easy to find. Think point, paragraph, page. And remember that your website is something you control, while much of your social presence exists on borrowed land.Ultimately, this conversation isn't just about SEO, AI, or marketing. It’s about how we adapt to a rapidly changing business environment without losing the human part of business.🔗 Guest Links* Visit VibeLogic.com https://www.vibelogic.com/* Connect with Stephan on LinkedIn https://linkedin.com/in/stephanbajaio* Follow Stephan on X https://x.com/stephanbajaio* Connect on Pinterest https://ca.pinterest.com/sbajaio* Have Stephan as a guest on your podcast visit his PodMatch Guest Profile https://podmatch.com/guestdetail/stephan_bajaio 🔊 Listen & SupportIf this conversation made you think differently about automation, AI, marketing, or human connection:Subscribe to Get Curious *YouTube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Aje3THfcOPtkNcMbeme7hhL-QL0uT6o&si=gvv79eeS_Cji_nVj*Substack https://jlpalmerconsulting.substack.comLeave a review Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-curious/id1896310446) | [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/033gBPugG42VQ2gLbxiaBd) | [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Aje3THfcOPtkNcMbeme7hhL-QL0uT6o)* Join the Get Curious Community https://www.skool.com/getcurious-9367 - Courses coming soon* Want to be a guest?
