NotebookLM for Marketers AI Workflows with Lisa Monks
The Agents of Change Digital Marketing PodcastShow Notes
If you've been using ChatGPT or Gemini and quietly wondering whether you can trust everything it tells you, there's a Google tool built to solve exactly that problem. NotebookLM only works from the documents you give it, which means it's grounded in your own content instead of guessing at the entire internet. This week I'm joined by Lisa Monks, an Australian social media strategist and AI educator, who has spent the last few years figuring out how to put that grounded approach to work for real businesses. We talk about everything from repurposing podcasts and building staff training quizzes to creating fully branded slide decks, and by the end of this episode you'll have a clear list of ways to put NotebookLM to work in your own business this week. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/628 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

LinkedIn has been quietly turning into a video platform, and a lot of small businesses haven't noticed yet. That's an opening. This week I talked with LinkedIn strategist Louise Brogan, author of Raise Your Visibility on LinkedIn, about how to use LinkedIn Live, LinkedIn Events, and prerecorded video to get in front of the right people. We get into how to get your network to show up live, when a company page beats a personal profile, why your captions belong at the top of vertical video, and the easiest first video you can record this week. If you've been meaning to "do something with video" on LinkedIn, this one gives you a place to start. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/642 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

If you've ever searched for a local business and noticed the same three names in that little map box, you know how much those spots matter. If you run one of those businesses (or want to), you also know it can feel like a closed club. After nearly 30 years at flyte, I rebuilt our local SEO webinar from scratch because the ground had moved, and this episode is the short version of what I found. We'll walk through your Google Business Profile, reviews, your website, and the local links that push you toward the top three. Most of it costs time, not money, and none of it requires a decoder ring. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/641 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

Some of the best content ideas in your company are probably stuck inside the heads of people who have absolutely no interest in writing a blog post. Jesse Harris shares how marketers can earn the trust of subject matter experts, draw out what they know, and turn highly technical expertise into clear, compelling content without watering it down. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/639 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

Substack has been on my radar for a while, but I'll be honest: I wasn't sure it had much to offer someone who already has a blog, an email list, and a few social channels up and running. Turns out I was asking the wrong question. This week I sat down with Tracy Friedlander, a former professional orchestra musician turned Substack strategist and the voice behind The Second Act Strategist, to find out what the platform can do for small business owners and marketers who want to build a real audience without starting from scratch all over again. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/638 Register for my Local SEO Webinar (9.23.2026): https://www.takeflyte.com/flyte-school/live-events Take the Substack Quiz: https://www.takeflyte.com/flyte-school/live-events Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?
