"We're about to enter the most opulent era in human history... but only if you survive the shift."
What if the AI boom isn’t about innovation—but about wiping out the middle class? In this bombshell episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Perry Belcher—marketing legend, co-founder of DigitalMarketer and Traffic & Conversion Summit, nicknamed “The Billion Dollar Man” for generating billions in sales.
Perry drops hard truths about the AI apocalypse barreling toward us: how Microsoft, Amazon, and OpenAI are slashing $150K jobs for million-dollar machines, and why it’s creating an opulent era for the rich while erasing everyone else. Drawing chilling parallels to historical slavery for economic dominance, he exposes how Big Tech is engineering control—not opportunity.
But here’s the twist—you can survive the shift. Perry breaks down insider hacks on branding, aesthetics over copy, and pressure prompting AI so you outsmart the system instead of being crushed by it. From his $750M Bezos regret to why design trumps everything in 2025, this is the raw playbook for anyone who refuses to get left behind.
