What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The AI Explorer podcast is my favorite source for understanding how AI is shaping marketing and business. Michael makes complex topics simple and practical, which is exactly what busy professionals need. I always leave inspired and better equipped to use AI. And shout-out to the AI Business Society, it’s such a forward-thinking community. Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to see how technology and AI continue to help us create and grow.

Marisa Shadrick · Oct 2025

I have been following Michael Stelzner since attending Social Media Marketing World 10 years ago. This new show is next level insightful and I find myself binge listening to the episodes to learn from the amazing guests. I highly recommend the show to small business owners looking to leverage AI. Thanks Michael Stelzner for creating actionable AI content!

HerCsuite · Sep 2025

Excellent podcast. Michael Stelzner is a great interviewer (listen for his follow up questions). I walk away with actionable takeaways after listening to this podcast.

ListenLearnGrow · Aug 2025

If you’re one of those business owners who “tried” AI, got frustrated, and swore it off (hi, that was me)—or if you’re just curious but don’t know where to start—this podcast is your shortcut. Michael and his incredible lineup of guests break it all down: not just what tools to use, but how to use them in ways that actually move the needle in your business. You’ll walk away from every episode with practical frameworks, time-saving hacks, and a deeper understanding of how to get AI working for you—without needing to become an AI expert. The stuff you learn here will easily save you hours a week. Time you can reinvest in growing your business—or, you know, doing something you actually enjoy. Highly recommended for any entrepreneur who wants to work smarter, not harder, and finally make AI useful.
