Most AI content I see is either too technical or too fluffy. Finding the right balance is harder than it looks.Nicholas Holland from HubSpot nailed something important when we talked about AI thought leaders. He called it "getting the fidelity right" - consumable, technical, impactful, but not overly technical or boring.That's the challenge.You want to understand AI's impact on marketing, but most content either assumes you're a data scientist or treats you like you've never used email.Nicholas shared his go-to sources for staying current without drowning in jargon.**Matthew Berman** stands out. Nicholas has followed him since their 500 Startups days a decade ago. Now Berman runs Forward Future - a podcast and newsletter that threads the needle between accessible and substantive. Nicholas listens to him "pretty much every day."**Marketing Against the Grain** (HubSpot's podcast with Kip and Kieran) takes a different approach. They focus on task-oriented tips - actual things you can implement tomorrow.The difference matters.Berman helps you understand where AI is heading. Marketing Against the Grain shows you what to do about it today.Here's what struck me: Nicholas called out the algorithms as teachers. Show genuine curiosity about AI on any platform, and the algorithm becomes your curator. It's meta - using AI to learn about AI.But you still need human filters.The best AI thought leaders aren't just explaining technology. They're translating between worlds - technical enough to be credible, practical enough to be useful.That's rare.What's your experience? Who helps you make sense of AI without making your head spin?If you'd like to hear my conversation with Nicholas Holland on the MarTech Check One Podcast, let me know in the comments and I'll share a link.
