We're interrupting your regularly scheduled Hustle & Flowchart episode to showcase a recent episode of The Next Wave Podcast. Joe Fier joined Matt Wolfe and co-host Maria Gharib to dive deep into the new world of Delphi AI — the "digital minds" platform that's revolutionizing how creators and entrepreneurs interact with their audiences. The conversation starts with Joe Fier breaking down what Delphi is, how it works, and why it's a game-changer for anyone who’s tired of answering repetitive questions or wants to scale their expertise online.

The episode gets hands-on, showcasing a live demo with Delphi-powered digital clones — including an AI "Arnold Schwarzenegger" and a digital version of Matt Wolfe himself. Joe explains how these AI clones are trained on content sources like YouTube, podcasts, and websites, allowing them to recreate your speaking style and answer questions 24/7. Listeners hear the practical use cases for Delphi, from monetizing access (like Tony Robbins’ $99/month AI bot), to lead generation, and as a time-saving tool for creators, coaches, or business owners. The conversation is loaded with real-world examples, humor, and candid insights into the future of AI-powered personal branding. If you’re curious about leveraging AI in your business or want to see how digital clones can save you time (and even make money), this episode is a must-listen.
