Forget dashboards full of red-green traffic lights—Mohan's platform reads real-time conversations, detects shifts in client sentiment, and flags problems before they explode.
--- --- ---
A Message from John Munsell of Bizzuka, who pays the bills for this season:
"The problem that I saw out there was that most of the books out there just talk about why it's important or what is important, but none of them really tell you how to make it happen."
That's where John Munsell's book comes in: get Ingrain AI on Amazon

Together we unpack how AI can decode tone, track hidden client dissatisfaction, and highlight retention risks using natural language and large language models (LLMs). With examples from consulting, marketing, and tech services, Mohan reveals how AI is changing the way agencies stay human—at scale.
If you’ve ever juggled 25 clients, struggled to keep your team aligned, or simply want AI that acts like a chief of staff (not a spreadsheet), this episode is a goldmine.

Are Chatbots Secretly Hustling You? The FTC Thinks So!
28 september 2025 · 20 min
When does AI stop helping and start hustling you? In this episode of A Beginner’s Guide to AI, Professor Gephardt unpacks the FTC’s new “Luring Test”—a standard that exposes how algorithms can manipulate trust, exploit psychological shortcuts, and push people into harmful choices. From robot lawyers that weren’t really lawyers to AI tools generating fake reviews and e-commerce empires built on empty promises, we explore how regulators are cracking down on deceptive AI practices and dark patterns in AI design. Lees meer

As the FTC’s Operation AI Comply shows, slapping “AI-powered” on a product doesn’t give anyone a free pass to hype or mislead. The real challenge is drawing the line between AI personalisation and AI manipulation.
Key thought to keep in mind: “If an AI assistant would give a different recommendation were it truly acting in the user’s best interest—and the only reason it doesn’t is your revenue model—you’re not personalising; you’re luring.”
Whether you’re a marketer, entrepreneur, or curious listener, this episode will sharpen your eye for spotting when AI is serving you—and when it’s working you over.

We even get his trick for measuring a broken camper-window with nothing but a smartphone photo and ChatGPT.
Plus: pragmatic takes on governance, ROI in under 90 days, and whether the Matrix scenario is worth losing sleep over.
