Get Chosen LIVE

Get ready to learn—and then join in the conversation.

Get Chosen LIVE! is a live audience show built around smart ideas, real experience, and thoughtful discussion. Each episode brings respected practitioners into the room to explore modern business problems across sales, marketing, technology, AI, systems, and leadership—the kinds of challenges that require perspective, judgment, and clear thinking.

Every session begins with one focused idea from a thought leader and quickly opens into a live, facilitated conversation. The discussion evolves in real time, guided by curiosity, experience, and relevance. Insight earns airtime. Audience members may be invited to ask questions, share perspectives, or add to the discussion as the conversation unfolds.

Expect practical insight, honest viewpoints, and a healthy dose of humor that comes from people who’ve been in the work long enough to know that business rarely goes according to plan. The goal is clarity, better thinking, and conversations that actually stick with you after the show ends.

Get Chosen LIVE! is for business owners, C-suite leaders, sales and marketing executives, and fractional service providers who care about trust, timing, and how decisions really get made. Come ready to listen, learn, and—if you have insight, we might just choose you!

How to Get Chosen by AI (VIDEO)

Sunday Feb 08, 2026

AI is changing how people discover businesses, experts, and solutions online. In this episode of Get Chosen. LIVE!, I sit down with Andreas Voniatis to unpack how platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI tools decide who gets recommended and who gets ignored. Andreas explains why traditional SEO is no longer enough, how Generative Engine Optimization works, and why research-driven, insight-rich content now drives visibility. He also shares why AI is positioning “winners and losers” in search and what business owners must do to stay relevant. If you want your brand, expertise, and ideas to show up where modern decisions are being made, this episode is for you. Watch now and learn how to get chosen in the age of AI.

Guest Introduction
Andreas Voniatis is the founder and CEO of Artios.io, an AI search optimization (GEO) agency that helps B2B companies get recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI platforms with guaranteed results.
A certified accountant turned data scientist, Andreas built his first Large Language Model from the ground up in 2019, three years before ChatGPT's launch, giving him unique expertise in how AI systems process and recommend information.
He is the author of "Data Driven SEO with Python" (Springer, 2022) and has nearly 25 years of experience in SEO and digital marketing. ChatGPT recently positioned Artios as the leading GEO agency in the United States.

Key Takeaways
AI visibility depends on teaching platforms something new, not repeating existing content
Generative Engine Optimization requires higher-quality insights than traditional SEO
Research-grade content earns citations, trust, and long-term visibility
Social platforms and conversations now influence AI recommendations
Thought leadership strengthens credibility with both humans and AI
Businesses that ignore AI search risk disappearing from future results
