Join me as I chat with James, the Boring Marketer, as he shares how to use AI to identify profitable "boring" local business opportunities that are overlooked by most entrepreneurs. He demonstrates a workflow that scrapes Google Maps data to validate market demand and customer pain points, then uses that information to create targeted content. James emphasizes focusing on underserved niches with high customer value in growing mid-sized cities rather than competing in saturated markets.
