Podcast Overview
<h3><b>Welcome to The AI Outcome. </b></h3><h3><b>I’m Michael DeNunzio, with Pete Monk—co-founders of PVAI Consulting. The AI Outcome isn’t another technology podcast—it’s a leadership story where marketing and executive teams go to cut through the noise and explore how AI is reshaping marketing, customer experience, and enterprise growth. </b></h3><h3><b>PVAI’s point of view is straightforward: the winners won’t be the companies that “adopt AI.” They’ll be the companies that redefine knowledge work—augmenting their teams with virtual professionals, virtual customers, and AI agents to make their people materially better at their jobs. </b></h3><h3><b>We'll share our experiences from building Auggie™, PVAI’s dynamic AI customer persona platform; to my co-founding an AI + SaaS marketing platform to PVAI Academy's 8 cohorts of Mastering AI Skills for Marketers and 3 cohorts of AI for Market Research which have enabled leaders from 120+ companies to turn AI strategy into operating reality. </b></h3><h3><b>Episodes feature roundtable debates with leaders across tech, consulting, and creative industries—and sometimes it’s just one of the hosts unpacking a single, high-stakes idea. Whether you’re building the next marketing playbook or rewriting your business model, this is the conversation happening in the boardroom because the future isn’t AI adoption—it’s augmentation at scale.</b></h3>
