AI Visibility Podcast · Jason AI Wade × Dan Barkhuff
Dan Barkhuff went from Navy SEAL to emergency physician to building a company that connects the dots in public data.
His company, Civly, started with an unglamorous idea: automate political compliance. When customers showed more interest in what the same tools could uncover, the business moved into research—and beyond politics.
Dan joins Jason AI Wade for a conversation about public information, privacy and influence. They explore how AI changes the effort required to investigate someone, what happens when an AI assistant becomes the source people trust, and where useful research meets uncomfortable questions.
They also get into the business of campaigning: donor lists, endless fundraising calls, and Dan’s belief that cheaper tools could make running for office accessible to more people.
Topics include:
From military service and medicine to an AI startup.
How Civly’s first product led to a different business.
Turning scattered records into a picture of a person or organization.
Research applications in business, sports and journalism.
AI visibility, reputation management and the potential for misuse.
Why campaigns spend so much time raising money.
The difference practical AI implementation could make.
Daniel “Dan” Barkhuff is founder and CEO of Civly, a research and intelligence company serving political campaigns, businesses, athletic organizations and nonprofits. He is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, former Navy SEAL and Harvard-trained emergency physician practicing in Vermont. He also founded Veterans for Responsible Leadership.
Jason AI Wade of BackTier hosts the AI Visibility Podcast, exploring how AI systems find information, describe businesses and people, and influence the decisions that follow.
