The Mark Mason Show: AI for Small Business
AI for small business, made practical: how to use AI in the business you already run. You have a ChatGPT account. It hasn't changed how your business actually works yet. That gap is what this show is about. I'm Mark Mason. I lead engineering teams, including AI engineering, at a Fortune 500 semiconductor company, I've run online businesses since 2007, and I've been podcasting since 2009. This show was the Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast; it is now The Mark Mason Show. Every week I take one real problem out of a real business: what actually works, what I'd skip, and when the honest answer is to hire someone instead of building it yourself. No hype, no agency pitch. These episodes are the audio of the weekly video on YouTube (youtube.com/@MarkMasonCom), edited so they work without a screen. The sung stinger is AI-generated music; every word you hear is my own voice. This is for small business owners and professionals who are past experimenting and want AI to work. Growth by design, not by grind. More at markmason.com.
