A heads up before you dive in — we had some technical difficulties with our recording gear this episode, so this week’s video is audio only. Appreciate you rolling with us and still tuning in — thanks for watching and supporting Born to Tint! 

Ricky and Josh Miller sit down for the third time with Erik Pendleton, CEO of Rewired Technologies, and this one’s a big one — Erik breaks down the biggest shift in SEO since Google launched, then drops a first-look announcement of Rewired’s brand-new Ultimate AI Dealer Package. 

In this episode of the Born to Tint Podcast, the guys cover:

The shift from SEO to AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — why ranking #1 on Google doesn’t matter if ChatGPT isn’t naming you the answer

Rewired’s brand-new Ultimate AI Dealer Package: AEO, Gemini/Google Ads, and ChatGPT Ads explained layer by layer

Inside ChatGPT Ads — budget minimums, how it mirrors Google Ads Manager, and why it feels like the “$0.05 click” era all over again

Josh’s AI-powered consultation workflow — real-time notes, automatic CRM follow-ups, and even live German-to-English translation mid-sale

Erik’s fantasy football story about turning a “boomer” landscaper buddy into an overnight AI power user

The scary side of AI — sandbox escapes, self-preservation experiments, and who’s actually liable when AI goes rogue

Elon Musk, Starlink’s next-gen satellites, and why data and distribution might matter more than the AI itself

A quick hit on the road to Tinter Battles LA and Green Valley’s hot start to the month
