Join Mark Donnigan and Simon Severino as they reveal why small, agile teams are poised to "crush it" against big competitors by using agentic AI tools and avoiding decision-by-committee bureaucracy,. Mark breaks down his ground-breaking case study: a B2B podcast that is 100% AI-generated yet indistinguishable enough from human content to engage listeners and generate leads.

In this episode, you will learn:
• The "Small Team" Advantage: Why resource-constrained teams win by making faster decisions and using AI to fill productivity gaps without waiting for IT approval.
• Building a 100% AI Podcast: A deep dive into the specific tech stack Mark uses, including 11Labs for voice models and Wondercraft for stitching episodes, and why he creates "interviews" between two AI avatars.
• The "Human in the Loop" Workflow: Why you cannot rely on a magic button; Mark explains how a human producer reviews scripts and optimizes the last 3% of content to ensure quality.
• From Content to Strategy: Moving from "Level 10" AI use (writing blog posts) to "Level 100" use (using LLMs like Claude and Gemini as logic and reasoning partners to validate business theories).
• Agentic Workflows: How to use local tools like Co-Work to give AI agency over your calendar and files, and the security considerations involved in granting these permissions.

Featured Tools & Concepts:
• Tech Stack: 11Labs (V3 model), Wondercraft, Claude, Gemini, Co-Work
• Key Strategy: Benchmarking multiple LLMs for specific tasks rather than relying on a single subscription.

About the Guest: Mark Donnigan is a marketing expert who has created over $500 million in enterprise value. He hosts the Marketing Execution Podcast—a show run entirely by AI agents—and helps growth-stage companies scale their marketing efforts.
