| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a very, very, very special edition of the Money Monday's |
| 0:09.4 | podcast where normally I'm inside of an RV motorhome driving around the country. |
| 0:13.1 | But today, because of my dear friend here, we're at his conference called Zeta Live. |
| 0:17.9 | His company Zeta Global is a multi-billion dollar corporation and he decides to put a lot of time, energy, and effort to throw an event for over 1,000 guests. And the number might be 11,000. 2,000 people. Last year was like 11,200. Now there's 2,000 executives that are here inside the building. And luckily, I got in for the next 15 minutes, so we're going to keep this podcast very short and straightforward. As you guys know, we cover three core topics, how to make money, how to invest money, how to give away to charity. He's done all of the above. He's very philanthropic. So without further ado, David Steinberg, give us the quick two-minute bio, so we get straight to the money. A, I'm a serial entrepreneur. I founded seven companies, sold four taken to public. |
| 0:55.2 | I'm chairman of another. |
| 0:57.0 | Zeta Global is the premier artificial intelligence-driven marketing cloud today. |
| 1:01.7 | We help very large enterprises to create, maintain, and monetize customers at a substantially |
| 1:07.8 | lower cost by using our AI and our data. Wow. Dialed in. That was great. I've never said that before, right? All right. When you're running a multi-billion dollar company, how do you make the time and energy for this? To have 2,000 executives here in New York City, how do you do it? How do you pull it off? Well, if it was just this, it would be easy. We started on Monday, Monday morning, Monday morning, from L.A. to New York. Monday morning at 7 a.m. Eastern time. I was on Bloomberg. We then had a crazy day. We closed the New York Stock Exchange and rang the bell, ding, ding, ding. It is really loud. It is louder |
| 1:45.3 | than you expect it to be. And you push it for longer. And I almost pushed it at the wrong time. |
| 1:50.8 | The guy freaked out. So it was good. I didn't. But we did that. And then Tuesday, we had our |
| 1:55.8 | global town hall for our 2,200 global employees. And then I flew to Dallas to give a speech. I gave a speech |
| 2:03.0 | at my friend Emeran Khan's conference. Then after that speech, I flew back to New York, landed around |
| 2:09.4 | 1230, got to bed at 1. 6 a.m. was up on Wednesday. Yesterday, we did our customer advisory board |
| 2:16.3 | meeting. We did our bi-annual investor day. |
| 2:20.1 | And then we took 150 people, including you, to dinner. And then today is Zeta Live. |
| 2:26.3 | Oh, my goodness gracious. And then a few minutes ago, I heard you debuted something really big. |

| 2:33.0 | So Athena, which is the biggest |
| 2:36.0 | product launch in our corporate history. Wow. Is a conversational artificial intelligence |
