In this must-watch Dropping Bombs episode, Ancestry.com co-founder Paul Allen teams with sales psychology expert Jeremy Miner to reveal how AI is rewriting sales forever. Jeremy—founder of 7th Level, the world's largest B2C sales training company and ranked #1 sales trainer globally—joins forces with Paul who now runs 15 AI companies through Soar.com. Together they launched AskJeremy.ai, and it just saved a $6 million deal in two minutes.

Paul and Jeremy break down how AI rescued a wire transfer going dark, the exact tools letting salespeople close deals they'd normally lose, and why most AI hallucinates garbage answers instead of truth. Plus, Paul exposes why founders lose control, the conspiracy theories that are actually true, and how open-source AI will transform communication and business forever.

If you're an entrepreneur, salesperson, or just love real talk about building (and losing) empires — this episode will blow your mind.
