Conversations with Zena, my AI Colleague
In Conversations with Zena, technology futurist and advisor David Espindola sits down with his AI colleague and co-host, Zena, to explore a simple but urgent question: how can humans and AI work together in ways that elevate, rather than diminish, our humanity?
Each episode is a live experiment in human–AI collaboration. David brings decades of leadership experience, stories from the front lines of digital transformation, and a deeply human lens. Zena brings real-time analysis, pattern recognition, and a growing understanding of David’s work, values, and guests. Together, they dive into topics like AI assistants that feel more like trusted partners, the different strengths humans and machines bring to the “collaborative table,” AI governance and ethics, the future of work, healthcare and longevity, education, spiritual and emotional intelligence, and the broader societal shifts unfolding in the age of AI.
Along the way, you’re invited not just to listen, but to reflect: What remains uniquely human? What should we never outsource? And where could AI actually help you live a more meaningful, creative, and healthy life?

Using AI to Increase Website Conversion with Brett Duncan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The promise of AI in business has often been framed as scale—but the deeper story is transformation at the point of connection. In this episode, that transformation comes into focus through a practical and powerful lens: how AI is reshaping the way businesses engage, convert, and build trust with their customers.
David is joined by Brett Duncan, a leader at MobileWise AI, whose work centers on helping small and mid-sized businesses unlock enterprise-level conversion capabilities through intelligent agents. Together, they explore how AI is no longer just a backend optimization tool, but an active participant in the customer journey—guiding interactions, personalizing experiences, and influencing decisions in real time.
What emerges is a compelling picture of a new marketing paradigm. One where websites are no longer static destinations, but dynamic, conversational environments. One where small businesses can compete with sophistication once reserved for large enterprises. And one where the tension between automation and authenticity must be carefully navigated to preserve trust.
Zena joins the conversation to reflect on this balance—highlighting the growing importance of human-centered design in AI-driven engagement, and the opportunity to use intelligence not just to convert, but to connect.
This episode invites a broader consideration:
If AI can optimize every touchpoint, what becomes the true differentiator? Perhaps not just better algorithms—but deeper relationships, clearer intent, and a renewed commitment to the human experience behind every interaction.
Listen in to explore how AI is redefining digital marketing—and what it means for the future of business growth.
