In this episode, host Reed Hansen sits down with Jon Gillum, founder of Originality.AI, to explore the wild frontier where AI content, SEO, and digital integrity collide.
Jon’s not just another tech founder — he’s a seasoned SEO veteran who sold his agency and built what’s quickly becoming the industry standard for AI content detection and plagiarism checking.
💡 If you’re a marketer, agency owner, content strategist, or just trying to figure out how to use AI without abusing trust, this episode is pure gold.
🚨 What You’ll Learn:
• Why Google is cracking down on mass-published AI content (and how to stay safe)
• How Originality.AI helps publishers, agencies, and writers avoid penalties and protect reputation
• Why AI detection isn’t just for schools — it's a business-critical risk mitigation tool
• The ethical and practical implications of using AI in academic and professional content
• Real talk on the ROI of AI content checking for agencies and publishers
👉 Key Topics Covered:
✅ What separates Originality.AI from generic detection tools
✅ How to create transparency in your content pipeline
✅ Why risk mitigation is the new ROI for content-heavy businesses
✅ How agencies can avoid getting burned by AI-generated work
✅ What the future of AI in business and education really looks like
🔥 BONUS: Jon shares how he uses AI every day in product development, internal communication, and data analysis — and how AI might soon become as essential (and invisible) as spreadsheets.
📈 Whether you're scaling an agency or running a lean content team, this episode will shift how you think about content quality in the AI era.
