Ep #129 - On an all-new Marketing Geeks, Justin Womack and Andros Sturgeon sit down with Alex Serdiuk, the co-founder of Respeecher, and a master at creating audio deepfakes. Respeecher is a voice cloning company co-founded by Alex that presently serves clients in Hollywood, but has ambitions set for a much broader market with technology that has the potential to disrupt several industries. 

Respeecher creates high-quality synthesized speech that has been used in small screen and big screen Hollywood projects. In fact, there's a pretty good chance you've already seen their work... that is, if you happened to watch Season 2 of a certain Disney+ Star Wars TV show. 

What's really amazing about Respeecher and their voice cloning technology is the potential use cases... In this episode, we discuss use cases involving things like changing someone's accent in real-time during a phone call or Zoom session, helping people that have lost the ability to speak reclaim their voices, licensing out celebrity voices and reducing the need of the individuals to record in-studio for hours and hours on end, and more.

Alex is an innovator and his company will likely make some massive waves in 2021 and beyond. If you've heard the term "deepfakes" thrown around on various media outlets without knowing what it means, this episode explains everything.

Ep #123 - This week on the Marketing Geeks Podcast, we sit down with the Aaron Iara, creator of The Effective Nerd. It's the geeks versus the nerd as we settle the debate once and for all as to who is cooler, geeks or nerds... It turns out it's nerds, so it got awkward quick. 

Our guest, Aaron Iara, describes himself as a life-long nerdy person with a wide variety of interests and a passion for making music.

After graduating college, Aaron found himself in a position where his degree wasn't landing him jobs and his student loan debt was piling up. It was at this point that he began working smarter, not harder so he could lead a productive life while maintaining his nerdy obsessions. The only alternative would be accept a soul deadening job that would pay the bills, but come at the cost of his quality of life.

Over the past decade, he's built up his skill-sets and maintained The Effective Nerd blog which continues to grow in popularity. He's navigated the speed bumps, survived the scares and now has begun to teach others how he has been able to make a living WITHOUT a corporate job.

Even more shocking than all of this is the demise of Quibi, everyone's favorite shortform content streaming app that we all thought was thriving until it suddenly disappeared... I even ordered the trial. Andros has been deeply emotionally affected by Quibi's shutdown and we're forced to do a bit of psychiatric counseling LIVE on air. Most importantly of all, an A.I. scientist has REVEALED the truth behind why aliens have not visited earth and it's probably very close to being verified.

Tucker Max is probably best known for authoring the 2006 NYT #1 best-selling book 'I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell' where he recounts stories of drinking, partying and "hooking up" from his college days. This book was a major success, it birthed a new genre called 'Fratire,' and it elevated Tucker's profile to national prominence. It also later became a movie where Tucker produced and co-wrote the screenplay. Since then, he's sold more than 4 million books and has the distinction of being 1 of only 4 authors, joined by Malcolm Gladwell, Brene Brown, and Michale Lewis, to simultaneously have 3 non-fiction books on the New York Times best-sellers list.

Today, Tucker believes that media creation is becoming an essential part of every person's professional life. To survive in the changing economy, the modern day business person will need to market themselves as a brand through media. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through writing a book and Tucker has leveraged his experience as a best-selling author to start the company, ScribeMedia.

As co-founder of Scribe Media, Tucker has helped develop a new process for turning ideas into books. In short, the company interviews clients in a systematic way that properly structures their ideas to get them out of their heads and into words.
