Human-First AI Marketing Podcast Ranked #12
The Human-First AI Marketing Podcast was just ranked #12 in the United States on the list of best AI in Marketing podcasts by Million Podcasts.
That puts our show in the same conversation as some of the biggest and most established voices in the space. It also confirms something I have believed for a long time. People are hungry for honest, practical, human-centered conversations about AI.
This recognition is exciting. It is also a reflection of the community around the show more than anything I have done personally.
This ranking belongs to the guests…
The show exists because generous, thoughtful experts have shown up to share what they know. The podcast was built on real human conversations.
Some of the standout voices who helped shape the show include:
- Jay Schwedelson, Founder of SubjectLine.com and Guru Events
- Paul Allen, Founder of Ancestry.com
- Ashley Gross, AI Workforce Alliance
- David Berkowitz, AI Marketers Guild
- Mark de Grasse, AI Branding Academy, and Former President of DigitalMarketer
- Heather Leigh Flannery, AI MINDSystems
- Dan Sanchez, who is ranked #6 on the same list, AI-Driven Marketer
Each guest brought a unique perspective on how AI is changing marketing, sales, leadership, and customer experience. More importantly, they showed how to use these tools without losing the human connection that builds trust. That is the entire point of the show!
A podcast built on a simple idea
Human-First AI Marketing® uses automation to amplify authenticity.
There is a lot of noise in the AI space. Many conversations revolve around replacing people, automating everything, and scaling content without context. That approach burns out channels and erodes trust. This show takes a different path.
Every episode focuses on one central question:
How do we use AI to make marketing more human, more helpful, and more trustworthy?
That means:
- Real stories instead of theory
- Practical strategies instead of hype
- Human insight guiding every AI decision
- Conversations that respect the listener’s time
The real reason the show keeps growing
The podcast only grows because people listen, subscribe, share episodes, and tell their friends.
The Human-First AI Marketing Podcast now reaches:
- Over 30,000 YouTube subscribers
- Thousands of listeners across multiple podcast platforms
- A growing network of founders, CMOs, and AI-curious marketers
It also would not exist without the Avenue9 team working behind the scenes. Tebatso, Aaron, and Karissa have all played a role in making the show consistent, professional, and worth your time. Thanks, team!
The goal has never been to build a popular podcast. The goal has been to build a trusted one.
Over the next year, you can expect:
- More conversations with leaders who are actually doing the work
- Deeper dives into AEO, context engineering, and human-first strategies
- More stories from small and mid-sized businesses using AI the right way
- A tighter connection between the podcast, the Human-First AI Marketing book, and the Avenue9 framework
