In the news this week, Travis and Stewart reveal a new round of funding for an AI customer service solution and get into why retail needs VR to survive and how blockchain technology is coming to marketing.

They then interview fraud expert James Peng of Match, the company that runs some of the most recognizable dating apps in the world. This is one episode you'll want to go home in the same taxi with at the end of the night.

In this episode of VB Engage, you’ll hear:

    Next week on episode 70, we talk to Sean Ellis, the man who pioneered the term “growth hacking.” Sean tells us all his juicy marketing secrets and we discuss whether AI is ever really going to do a better job at conversion optimization than a human can.

    If you missed last week’s episode, we interviewed Jason Miller, head of content at LinkedIn, who shared everything we needed to know about door handles and marketing, rock ‘n’ roll, and what the future holds for content marketing.

    As always, thanks for tuning in to VB Engage.
