In this episode of The AI Advantage, Matt Brown speaks with Amelia Taylor, a revenue strategist helping SaaS and cybersecurity companies grow by combining human EQ, relationships, and artificial intelligence. Amelia explains how she builds “SWAT teams” within organizations to test bold ideas, prove value through data, and create change when others are stuck in old ways of selling.

The conversation explores why many companies struggle to adopt AI, how to ask better questions that drive action today instead of speculation about tomorrow, and why the future of sales belongs to those who can merge technology with human intuition. Amelia shares how prompt design, trust, and iteration can transform entire sales operations, why SDR roles are evolving, and what it means to lead with curiosity in a world where innovation never stops.

After more than 1,000 interviews with founders, CEOs, and investors on The Matt Brown Show, I realized something — every time a great conversation ended, it ended.

We'd share insights, then everyone went back to their corners of the world.

So I built the GAS Network to change that.

It’s a private space where alumni and friends of the show can connect, collaborate, and 10x the conversations that matter — not just one-on-one, but many-to-many.

In this first forum, we covered the realities and myths of AI, prompt engineering, the impact of automation on jobs, ethical considerations, and why human skills like critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration will only grow in value.

There’s strong interest in making this forum a recurring event — likely every two weeks — so we can keep these conversations alive and evolving.

It’s not about me. It’s about us — the people shaping companies, leading industries, and pushing the limits of what’s next.

This is the community I wish I’d started ten years ago.
