Brand discovery is changing faster than most founders and marketers realize. Not because of a new platform. But because AI systems are becoming the first layer of discovery, long before someone clicks a website or types a Google query.
That is exactly why I invited Gary Vaynerchuk (Gary Vee) on Web3 CMO Stories. It is a short, sharp conversation. No hype. No motivation talk. Just practical thinking about what actually works now.
In this episode, we unpack:
Why content creation is becoming a core job, not a side task
How AI systems learn from YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, podcasts, and newsletters
Why LinkedIn is still massively underpriced attention for B2B
The role of culture, context, and judgment over isolated tactics
Why trust, provenance, and authenticity matter more as AI content scales
