Football Is Fixable, Alright?!27. Fixing… Underrated PlayersThis week, we’re shining the spotlight where it actually belongs — on the underappreciated greats of the game. Dan and James are joined by special guest Tom as they dive deep into the stars who quietly deliver week in, week out, and ask why they’re constantly overshadowed by supposedly “bigger” names and louder narratives.
From social media hype to recency bias, we break down how some players dominate headlines, sponsorships, and award conversations, while consistent performers are left in the shadows. Is it branding over brilliance? The boys dissect the myths, challenge popular opinion, a...
2026-02-2438 minFootball Is Fixable, Alright?!26. Fixing… The Greatest Premier League Rivalry EverWith Valentine’s Day in the air, Dan and James put sentiment aside and go head-to-head to decide one thing: what is the greatest title rivalry in Premier League history?
Is it the fiery, era-defining war between Manchester United and Arsenal — a rivalry built on tunnel bust-ups, mind games, and pure passion? Or is it the modern tussle between Manchester City and Liverpool - where 98 points still isn’t safe and perfection almost became the bare minimum? And where do Chelsea fit in all this?
No era is safe as Dan and Ja...

James Dooley PodcastOptimise AI Search Visibility | AI SEO, LLM SEO, ChatGPT (James Dooley Interviews Dan Petrovic)James Dooley speaks with Dan Petravvic about AI SEO and what it takes to rank in AI overviews and LLM driven search. Dan explains why SEO and GEO are not the same, why “generative engine optimisation” is a misleading label, and why AI SEO is the most practical framing for the industry. The conversation breaks down selection rate optimisation, model bias, and how tools like Treewalker.ai probe probabilistic outputs to find weak confidence points in brand understanding. Dan also explains why traditional SEO still matters because LLMs pull from top search results, why brand familiarity often beats technical hack...

James Dooley PodcastDadtrepreneur – How to Raise KIDS as a father in the AI World (James Dooley Interviews Dan Petrovic)In this episode of James Dooley’s podcast, James speaks with Dan Petrovic about what it really means to be a dad entrepreneur in the age of artificial intelligence. Dan shares how raising a child alongside rapid AI adoption changes priorities, learning, and creativity. The discussion explores how children instinctively recognise AI generated content, why originality still matters, and how parents can prepare their kids for future careers without forcing a direction. Dan explains the importance of broad knowledge, avoiding mediocrity, and building true expertise in a world where AI will widen the gap between capable and incapable people. Th...

James Dooley PodcastThe Future of AI SEO - Futuristic Ideas of SEO & AI (James Dooley Interviews Dan Petrovic)Want a clear view of where SEO is heading as AI takes over the front end of search. In this conversation, James Dooley sits down with Dan Petrovic to break down what actually drives visibility in LLM answers, AI Mode results, and RAG systems. Dan explains why “selection” matters more than clicks, how models pull short extracts rather than full pages, and why condensed, high-substance writing wins when the machine only sees a slice of your content. They dig into query fan out, why prompt tracking is mostly a distraction, and how to probe model confidence to find the weak...
2026-02-0543 minFootball Is Fixable, Alright?!19. Fixing… Boxing DayBoxing Day used to mean wall-to-wall football. Now it’s been trimmed down to a single, underwhelming fixture. This week, Dan and James take aim at how broadcasters and schedulers have quietly stripped the day of its magic, turning one of football’s greatest traditions into just another calendar slot.
From packed festive slates to a lone kickoff, the lads ask how Boxing Day football lost its soul — and how it can be fixed before the tradition disappears for good, alright?!

James Dooley Podcast🚀Unveiling the Power of Pay Per Lead | Expert Insights with James Dooley & Dan Grant🚀James Dooley and Dan Grant unpack the pay-per-lead model and explain why its pricing structure creates added risk for UK businesses, as payments are made before any revenue is secured. They discuss how lead quality fluctuates heavily depending on industry and price point, often resulting in unpredictable returns for companies buying fixed-cost leads. The conversation compares pay-per-lead with SEO, PPC, and paid social, showing that all three channels place financial exposure on the business by requiring upfront spend before conversions occur. In contrast, they explain how pay-on-performance removes this risk entirely, as businesses only pay once profit has been...
