Keith Edwards: AI Revolution: Opportunity or Threat to the Workforce? | DSH #1480

Hey there, podcast listeners! This week's episode of the Digital Social Hour is a must-listen featuring none other than the man himself, Tony Toutouni. Toutouni has a vast and storied career in the nightlife industry, and his interview with Sean Kelly and Shawn Chase is one for the books. From starting his career at 19 by opening a nightclub with someone else as a front, to owning a telemarketing company that sold hair products online and doing infomercials on TV, Tony's journey to where he is today is nothing short of fascinating. He talks about how the club scene has changed over the years and how posers and wannabes have taken over, and how the girls who used to be strippers have now moved to OnlyFans and other bigger opportunities. Speaking of OnlyFans, Tony also opens up about his ban from the platform and how he felt about it. He even discusses his love for Halloween and how he builds haunted houses in his house. As the interview progresses, Tony discusses relationships, honesty, and transparency, and how he believes that women who seek out nice guys end up regretting it and coming back to him. Through it all, he remains true to himself, never claiming to be the best, the richest, or the most well-endowed guy around. So what are you waiting for? Tune in to this week's episode and get to know Tony Toutouni on a deeper level. You won't regret it! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/digitalsocialhour/support Learn more about your ad choices.
