Introducing the new FREE AI educational series with Santiago Rodriguez PHD
Welcome to this introduction to our new educational series on AI in Travel.Quite frankly we are concerned. A recent EY study found only 29% of employees in billion dollar companies believe they have been given sufficient education in how to work with AI and AI agents.We suspect that number is about 10% in travel and even less in SMB's. Those in that 29% are set to jump to the head of the promotion list and be sought after by other companies over the next couple of years. This is one of those rare opportunities for people to make a huge leap in their career trajectory - simply by being curious and digging in to get themselves ahead of the pack.We are removing cost from the decision tree with this series which we are offering totally for free to anyone who wants to finally get themselves or their company moving on the AI train.The cost of not getting educated is the true cost here.Make sure to subscribe to the podcast and newsletter to get each edition notified to you. You can find the tools we will be working with alongside educator and PHD, Mr Santiago Rodriguez who gets paid by companies to provide this education to the staff within here: www.santiagor.com/free-ai-tools

Chatting to Alex Bainbridge, the mad scientist of Tours & Activities
I always love catching up with Alex Bainbridge. Not only is he the number one member of the Everything AI in Slack community but the way he looks at and conceives (rather than perceives - this man is a doer, not a watcher) the world is just so different to most of us.I therefore jumped at the chance to co-host a session at the upcoming Arival event in Washington DC with Alex where anyone who has their own ideas, thoughts or challenges with AI can drop by and we can chat those through as a group.I caught up with Alex in advance here on the pod to help set the scene and to give a glimpse to those who can’t make it. (Discounted ticket below if you can).We also have special offer for those looking to attend the Arival AI Forum for Destination Experiences in early October, happening in Washington DC. You'll hear about it early in this episode.Use Promo Code: FOATOCRDC to get a special discount just for our listeners.I'll be attending so join me this 29–30 September in Washington, DC for the Arival AI Forum for Destination Experiences — a hands-on, intensive learning forum built for destination experiences leaders serious about applying AI in meaningful, measurable ways.Special Offer for AI Forum at Arival 2025
In this companion podcast to the Everything AI in Travel weekly newsletter, we speak to the makers, shapers and buyers of AI technology in the travel inustry.
