How do you keep capture and convert the attention of your ideal buyers?
Speaker:That's the big thing.
Speaker:And so I think AI is finally starting to really deliver across each of those
Speaker:paradigms, getting the attention,
Speaker:keeping it, and then converting it.
Speaker:right now I feel like the gap between where the marketers were telling people
Speaker:AI is and what it can do and what it can actually do is closing precipitously.
Speaker:Anybody can type in a ChatGPT and get an output, and that's actually very cool,
Speaker:but how do you apply that in the business so it actually moves the
Speaker:needle and gets you an outcome?
Speaker:78% of buyers don't buy from the best and they don't buy from the cheapest.
Speaker:They buy it from the first person that responds.
Speaker:you can have ai, the minute someone clicks an ad or, or generates any interest on
Speaker:your site, you can have AI automatically reach out to them like immediately.
Speaker:Joe.
Speaker:We're doing this Joe to another.
Speaker:Joe.
Speaker:It's always a great day when, uh, Joe's connected, make,
Speaker:make some cool stuff happen.
Speaker:Thanks for your time, brother.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Thanks for having me, man.
Speaker:Yeah, of course.
Speaker:Well, I mean, you, you come up, I feel like you come up in conversation
Speaker:in a, in a lot of places lately.
Speaker:Of course.
Speaker:Um, you know, either your name or, or daily.ai, which is literally
Speaker:just, it's, it's awesome.
Speaker:So we'll be talking about that.
Speaker:I was just at an event, um, Scott Duffy's event and the second day, and
Speaker:I think you were there the first day.
Speaker:I'm like, God, I miss Joe.
Speaker:Yeah, I just came up for the day.
Speaker:So shout
Speaker:That's great.
Speaker:Yeah, he is.
Speaker:He likes to bring Joe's in to make sure each day is amazing.
Speaker:That's it.
Speaker:It's an evenly balanced event when that happens.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Well I know, so you of course you're heading up this, this Venture Daily ai.
Speaker:You've had some cool adventure, uh, adventures and ventures, uh, prior to.
Speaker:I guess, what are you excited about right now?
Speaker:We'll just start there because I know you're living and breathing ai.
Speaker:We have a really cool background as well.
Speaker:And what's, yeah, like how are you seeing things right now?
Speaker:The, the state of ai, um, I guess just what you're focused on right
Speaker:now excited about, and then we can kind of dive in a little bit more.
Speaker:right now I feel like the gap between where the marketers were telling people
Speaker:AI is and what it can do and what it can actually do is closing precipitously,
Speaker:meaning like the hot air of, of, all this whizzbang that people have been
Speaker:talking about over the last year or two.
Speaker:I. You can actually deliver on a lot of it now, which is really exciting.
Speaker:And so, and it's only gonna get better as time goes on.
Speaker:So for, for me, that's the most exciting thing in ai, especially
Speaker:when it comes to business.
Speaker:And I think one of the best places in business where AI is having the
Speaker:biggest impact is in generating.
Speaker:Nurturing and converting leads.
Speaker:And if you look at why most businesses in the Western world go out of business,
Speaker:it's 'cause they don't have enough cash.
Speaker:They don't have enough cash 'cause they don't have enough sales and
Speaker:they don't have enough sales 'cause they don't have enough leads.
Speaker:I mean, some really small percentage of people never
Speaker:make it past 3 million a year.
Speaker:And if you're making $3 million a year or less.
Speaker:Per year in like in, in revenue, then your main problem, more than likely your
Speaker:biggest constraint is probably leads.
Speaker:You're just like in obscurity and you don't know enough, enough people don't
Speaker:know you and your offer or your business.
Speaker:That doesn't matter if you're a roofer or a plastic surgeon
Speaker:or a coach or a consultant or
Speaker:um, a mastermind owner or whatever you're selling, right?
Speaker:Um, that's the big issue is how do you get leads?
Speaker:How do you keep capture and convert the attention of your ideal buyers?
Speaker:That's the big thing.
Speaker:And so I think AI is finally starting to really deliver across each of
Speaker:those paradigms, getting the attention keeping it, and then converting it.
Speaker:That's good.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I think people are starting to understand how, I mean, there's a
Speaker:assortment of tools that can help us do that at the basic level chat,
Speaker:GPT, but then, you know, of course Daily AI is helping a lot of that,
Speaker:specifically on the email side of things.
Speaker:But there's some cool stuff you were just telling me right before this, um,
Speaker:what it does as well to, to do more of the actual convert to, um, you know,
Speaker:buyers in a, in a quick amount of time.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Well, before we even talk about daily, let's talk
Speaker:about like what's working right now with ai.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So the, the big things that matter the most is just use it every day.
Speaker:That should be a non-negotiable if you're a, a founder, an entrepreneur,
Speaker:a business owner, I. And even if you're a solopreneur, if you have just you
Speaker:or anyone else beside you, your ea, your team, I think number one mandate
Speaker:is you should be using AI every single day because the knowledge that it gains
Speaker:on you compounds over time, right?
Speaker:The more you use chat GT and and reference everything it knows about
Speaker:you, the more it knows about you, the more it can actually help you.
Speaker:So it's really, really powerful.
Speaker:This was not always the case.
Speaker:Plus it would be kind of like.
Speaker:If we were right at the era where electricity came on and you didn't have
Speaker:electricity yet, like how frequently would you like to be using electricity?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:As much as you could afford to, so,
Speaker:So.
Speaker:I think it's a non-negotiable.
Speaker:I think that's step zero is use it every day.
Speaker:I don't actually care what it is, but use it every single day and
Speaker:use it as much as you can mostly.
Speaker:So you build the muscle.
Speaker:That's the first thing.
Speaker:but the big use cases that are I think, really exciting right now are,
Speaker:number one is using AI for something that I call speed to lead, right?
Speaker:For This is important because if you want to generate more leads and convert more
Speaker:leads, these, the data that I'm about to share with you is super important.
Speaker:If you respond to a customer in less than five minutes, from the time
Speaker:that they raise their hand to say they wanted to get in touch with you,
Speaker:they are 400% more likely to convert.
Speaker:And 78% of buyers don't buy from the best and they don't buy from the cheapest.
Speaker:They buy it from the first person that responds.
Speaker:And I'll give, I'll give you a real example from my life.
Speaker:So I was delivering a workshop.
Speaker:We do a three day AI workshop and over the winter and a pipe
Speaker:burst in my front of my house.
Speaker:So the water company came and turned off the water to the house
Speaker:'cause it was leaking like 2000 gallons a minute or something crazy.
Speaker:So my wife just goes, okay, like looks at Yelp, looks at Google reviews, calls
Speaker:the best plumbers that are in our area.
Speaker:And how many of them do you think picked up the phone?
Speaker:Oh, I doubt any of 'em.
Speaker:Maybe
Speaker:zero.
Speaker:Zero of them picked up the phone.
Speaker:So like, and she's relentless.
Speaker:If you ever met my wife, you'll know she's just dialing, dialing down.
Speaker:Finally she got ahold of somebody.
Speaker:Um, but she had to try very hard to get in touch with someone when she
Speaker:had a problem to give them our money.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:and, and that that use case is imminently solvable With ai, you
Speaker:can have AI picking up your phones.
Speaker:If you have an inbound lead system, you can have AI booking your calls for you.
Speaker:Instead of doing it on Calendly,
Speaker:you can have ai.
Speaker:The minute someone clicks an ad or, or generates any interest on your
Speaker:site, you can have AI automatically reach out to them like immediately.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And just that speed to lead, all that's doing is hedging your bets.
Speaker:That if that's a qualified marketing, qualified lead or qualified
Speaker:person, that's like uniquely.
Speaker:Positioned and perfectly positioned to buy the thing that you solve a problem for.
Speaker:Then the chances of you converting them and turning them into happy
Speaker:customer are so much higher.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:That's one of the use cases.
Speaker:Um, there's a second one that I think is really important and that is,
Speaker:uh, let's just call it dead leads or leads that you've, uh, captured at
Speaker:some point, but maybe didn't convert.
Speaker:You know, the
Speaker:only like.
Speaker:Three to 5% of the market is ready to buy right now.
Speaker:97% of the market or ish, needs more information before they buy.
Speaker:I think a lot of mistakes that smaller businesses, you know, those that are
Speaker:below 5 million a year or 3 million a year in sales is they just don't, like
Speaker:if the lead comes in and doesn't convert, they just kind of forget about it.
Speaker:Um, I imagine all the real estate agents that have had contacts with potential
Speaker:people that wanna list their home that they haven't followed up with,
Speaker:right.
Speaker:and years of people.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:And so, you know, uh, you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take.
Speaker:And right now, voice, ai, outbound voice AI is so good.
Speaker:That you could actually mow through the entire database of everybody.
Speaker:Like if you have hundreds or hundreds of thousands of leads that you haven't
Speaker:contacted, it can mow through all of those leads and, and beautifully find
Speaker:the ones that are actually interested.
Speaker:It sounds human.
Speaker:It's
Speaker:not perfect, and I would recommend you say.
Speaker:Hey, this is, this is somebody from this person's company and I'm an ai.
Speaker:I'm just reaching out because, and then go into your script.
Speaker:If you shake those trees, the chances and if you have enough of these leads,
Speaker:the chances that you come back with with zero progress is quite low.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So these are two great use cases I think are super, super available to people
Speaker:that folks just aren't paying a lot of attention to, that are high leverage.
Speaker:They're highly lucrative and they're fairly low cost to put into place.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Speed to lead and then the dead leads, 'cause we're all sitting on on those.
Speaker:It really boils down to leads, like you said.
Speaker:And then, and then of course conversion.
Speaker:We'll talk about that too.
Speaker:What, uh, back to like the dead leads thing.
Speaker:So it's basically reactivating essentially is what you're talking about, right?
Speaker:Like database reactivation.
Speaker:Are there, like, could you break down a, like a workflow you would suggest or maybe
Speaker:one that you use, including some tools and just kinda like map it out a little
Speaker:bit.
Speaker:absolutely.
Speaker:Um, well first of all, the, the first thing you're gonna wanna do
Speaker:is be able to subsegment your data.
Speaker:So you're gonna need your data in a place where you can take it apart and identify
Speaker:the leads that are actually dead and, and maybe even rank them or score them.
Speaker:So anybody with a modern CRM should be able to do that.
Speaker:Um, we work frequently with people that have go high level daily.
Speaker:AI works with pretty much any CRM, um, and a lot, lot more people have go high level.
Speaker:So if
Speaker:you be able to basically go back and look at your leads, like the
Speaker:first place I would look at is who hasn't engaged with me as a, as
Speaker:a prospect in 60 days or greater.
Speaker:Hmm
Speaker:It used to be longer.
Speaker:You think a dead lead is like 90 or 180 days.
Speaker:But what's interesting is if you don't email somebody for 30 days, you try to
Speaker:mail them again, the chances that that thing ends up in spam is really high
Speaker:because of the way the algorithm works now, right?
Speaker:So 60 days, they haven't touched anything.
Speaker:They haven't opened anything.
Speaker:Like let's just run through the real life scenario.
Speaker:It's unlikely they went on vacation for two months,
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:30 days, I get it.
Speaker:You go on vacation, you get backed up maybe fi four or five weeks.
Speaker:But like once you get to eight weeks like that, those people are.
Speaker:Gone.
Speaker:You're in the spam box, something's wrong, right?
Speaker:Um, and then the next thing that I would do is I would use you, I think
Speaker:there's a service called Clay there.
Speaker:There's a handful of these services that you can use to enhance that data.
Speaker:So I would take those emails and then first and last name and email
Speaker:and I would enrich that data so you can get things like zip code, buying
Speaker:power, like a, a bunch of hygiene data metadata around those customers.
Speaker:And you can actually take that spreadsheet and upload it to Claude or chat GT
Speaker:and say, Hey, here's my ideal buyer.
Speaker:Here's what I sell.
Speaker:Looking at this data, help me rank this list of people so that
Speaker:I can, I can understand who are the best buyers and who are the,
Speaker:the, the worst buyers for my offer.
Speaker:Right, and then it's great in that data if you have a column that's
Speaker:like Date last contacted, so they
Speaker:know how stale it is, and then at the after that you can just say, Hey, like,
Speaker:great, now help me order this list so I know who to reach out to first.
Speaker:Then once you have that ranked and 'cause that's available to everybody,
Speaker:there's more sophisticated tools, but everyone has chat, GBT, then you
Speaker:rank it.
Speaker:Then you can hook up a tool like Vapi, VAP i.ai to to like go high level.
Speaker:Possibly even with like a make or, or, or an NAN type of automation
Speaker:where it's, you know, vapi is gonna connect to an LLM,
Speaker:like, like Chat GT or Claude.
Speaker:It's going to sync up with your CRM to get the data.
Speaker:Uh, and you, of course, you could use this with a spreadsheet too, but
Speaker:definitely recommend, uh, CRM automate it.
Speaker:And then it can update contact records in the CRM.
Speaker:It can mow through the list and make calls.
Speaker:It can
Speaker:pass off, like if you have go high level, you can pass off to a live
Speaker:human and if that's appropriate.
Speaker:Um, and then just have it work the list.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And, and it's, there's a little bit more to it, you know, like the,
Speaker:but buttons to push and all that.
Speaker:It's probably
Speaker:more than we want to get into here.
Speaker:It's literally that simple.
Speaker:And you could set up a voice agent that mows through dead leads.
Speaker:Uh, with, with, that's if you wanted to do it yourself.
Speaker:There's a handful of off the shelf tools.
Speaker:I haven't used them personally, so I don't feel comfortable endorsing them.
Speaker:But like the, what I, the thing I just described, not only have I used it, I've
Speaker:helped other people set it up multiple times and that's what seems to be working.
Speaker:It's straightforward, like what you just said, and thank you for
Speaker:sharing all the little details.
Speaker:I figured you had like a solid process to this, you know?
Speaker:And, uh, yeah, and Vapi, you know, just looked up really quick.
Speaker:I've heard of it, but haven't used it.
Speaker:That's the voice agent part that does the actual calling once it has the list.
Speaker:Yep, exactly.
Speaker:And you know, there's, there's more, a little bit more to it.
Speaker:Some of these, um, large language learning models, the APIs get saturated.
Speaker:So the API calls start to slow down and there's some technical nuance in
Speaker:there that's worth paying attention
Speaker:to, but I. My, what I found, Joe, is that like speed of implementation is the most
Speaker:important factor for business success.
Speaker:Like if
Speaker:you're sub 10 million a year in revenue, you just gotta take action
Speaker:and measure what didn't work and just make one thing better each time.
Speaker:So I wouldn't get caught up in the details.
Speaker:I would just see how fast can I scrape it together and ship it.
Speaker:And then just fix it as you go.
Speaker:Worst case scenario, you're calling people that didn't wanna
Speaker:hear from you.
Speaker:Anyway, the, the bar is quite low, and that's just my, my mental model for
Speaker:AI is like, speed of implementation.
Speaker:Don't let your story around technology and the limits that you have of your
Speaker:relationship to technology get in the way of you helping more people.
Speaker:That right there held me up.
Speaker:This was what, a couple years ago?
Speaker:You know, I was always into tech, but I told myself, I was like, ah, just,
Speaker:you know, this is too much right now to take on and dumb story, you know?
Speaker:It didn't take long for me to break it.
Speaker:You know, I was just like, okay, the faster I get in here, you flex the
Speaker:muscle of ai, even if it's baby steps.
Speaker:And even if that's you right now, listening, watching, you know, just
Speaker:baby steps, hop in, they're all free to at least try, you know, like Chachi
Speaker:pt, Claude Perplexity, whatever it is.
Speaker:Just get comfortable and, um, like you said, like just do
Speaker:some of these quick actions.
Speaker:I mean, we all have these things that we can, uh, think a little clearer
Speaker:or maybe automate in our lives and.
Speaker:Or have it even just write a script for us.
Speaker:Like just experiment and,
Speaker:Yeah, just you'd be shocked if you just use it every day and then start adding
Speaker:a new capability and a new capability.
Speaker:How much
Speaker:farther you can get.
Speaker:We kind of knew, right?
Speaker:So the way daily AI started is.
Speaker:Um, I, I was in the middle of selling my last company.
Speaker:I'm a five time founder.
Speaker:I've had three successful exits and I was in the middle of selling
Speaker:my last company and I was like, I wanna do this one more time.
Speaker:So I got introduced to Peter Diamandes and Evan Pagan, who are my two business
Speaker:partners now, and we had access to the, uh, open ai API like pretty
Speaker:early, like before chat PT came out.
Speaker:So we were like toying around and playing with things.
Speaker:We, we had about a year to kind of figure out what we wanted to
Speaker:do and what we realized is that.
Speaker:The capabilities of AI are gonna be coming out so quickly that the rate
Speaker:limiting factor is gonna be people's acceptance of, of any AI solution.
Speaker:Like, like how much will they deploy and use it and how much will they trust it?
Speaker:And of course, if you look at the distribution of markets,
Speaker:there's early adopters.
Speaker:It's a bell curve in the first little third on the left as an early adopters.
Speaker:So we knew there was a market for that, but we also knew that AI's
Speaker:capabilities would outpace people's willingness to accept solutions.
Speaker:So from day one at ai, our, our, our daily ai, our.
Speaker:Main mantra has been outcomes over outputs.
Speaker:Anybody can type in a ChatGPT and get an output, and that's actually very cool,
Speaker:but how do you apply that in the business so it actually moves the
Speaker:needle and gets you an outcome?
Speaker:I. Right.
Speaker:And so we started thinking about, well, where do people need the most help?
Speaker:And we noticed that it was in leads and conversions.
Speaker:And then where's the biggest opportunity there?
Speaker:It's in the follow up man.
Speaker:It's in the nurture, right?
Speaker:So people are pretty good at getting leads and converting them, but this nurture
Speaker:thing in the middle has been a struggle.
Speaker:So we launched, our very first product is in ai, automated email newsletter.
Speaker:Um, 80% of our customers have a 40% or greater open rate.
Speaker:That
Speaker:means, you know, that's the number of people that open each
Speaker:email, which is insane because the average open rate, depending on
Speaker:industry is between 15 and 20%.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:Oof.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:it's, it's quite low, so most of the time we're able to double people's open rates,
Speaker:and just to pause for on that stat, like, 'cause that open rate stat's been going
Speaker:down, from what I understand, right?
Speaker:Like just in general with email and sending
Speaker:Yeah, it's been going down because last February, Google and Yahoo and
Speaker:Outlook made a bunch of changes.
Speaker:You
Speaker:can't hide under like these big group IP and domains anymore, but that doesn't
Speaker:matter because we do all the boring stuff before you ever launch a newsletter,
Speaker:like we clean all that up for you.
Speaker:So like you upload your list.
Speaker:And our machine learning will, will go through your list, add metadata to it,
Speaker:rank it, remove all the spam traps, dead emails, known troublesome people on your
Speaker:list, and then it will actually rank them.
Speaker:And let's say you have a hundred thousand person list.
Speaker:It'll break it into little chunks and warm your list up based on
Speaker:who's most likely to open it.
Speaker:Um, and it knows that because every time someone opens our email newsletters
Speaker:right from our customers, the
Speaker:AI gets smarter and smarter and smarter.
Speaker:So it's actually learning what people wanna click on and watching
Speaker:what they're, what they're doing.
Speaker:I'll give you an example.
Speaker:So we, we did the newsletter, uh, for Robert Kenny Jr.
Speaker:During his presidential campaign.
Speaker:And that's not like an endorsement or an indictment of the man's politics.
Speaker:He was just a customer.
Speaker:I happen to, like the guy, we, we've hung out a handful of times,
Speaker:so he, his list was massive.
Speaker:I'm not able to say how many people on his list, but it was massive.
Speaker:When he, when we uploaded his list to our platform, over 20% of his
Speaker:subscribers already subscribed to other newsletters of customers on our platform.
Speaker:So our machine learning already knows when they open it, the
Speaker:subject lines that resonate.
Speaker:So
Speaker:if we're gonna warm his list up, the machine learning's going, great.
Speaker:Let's start with the people that we know will open.
Speaker:First,
Speaker:right.
Speaker:So there's all this getting it in the inbox.
Speaker:Stuff that most people are just falling over on right now.
Speaker:We've built backend workflows that you never see.
Speaker:It just works.
Speaker:You just upload your list and we walk you through the process.
Speaker:And so that, just so we can win the first war of email, which
Speaker:is land in the primary inbox,
Speaker:and then
Speaker:like, I've seen so many smart people, partners of mine
Speaker:and clients, but I'm like.
Speaker:When they switch a provider or whatever it is, or just start emailing something
Speaker:fresh, it's just spam, spam, spam.
Speaker:And it's like, how the hell do I get outta here?
Speaker:And it's a constant struggle, like long time for some folks, and it sucks.
Speaker:Yeah, It's, an uphill battle.
Speaker:Look, if you've scraped or bought your list, it doesn't work.
Speaker:Don't
Speaker:come to us.
Speaker:Like, figure
Speaker:that out.
Speaker:Like if this, you know, if you scraped it off of like Instagram or bought
Speaker:some third party list, the just the, the algorithms are too smart for you.
Speaker:Now they're gonna know that you don't have, like, they just know, right?
Speaker:So, but if, but if you are coming from a, a reputable sort of email
Speaker:service provider, like daily ai.
Speaker:It's, it's warmed up.
Speaker:And those people are encouraged to engage with it in a way where Google Outlook
Speaker:and Yahoo go, yeah, this person's real.
Speaker:They want this.
Speaker:And you deliver content that those algorithms, email algorithms go,
Speaker:yeah, this is real stuff, right?
Speaker:Because they, they actually analyze it at the individual email
Speaker:level to decide if they're gonna put it in the spam box or not.
Speaker:It used to not be like that.
Speaker:And so with daily, we have, it's like three or four thumb scrolls of content,
Speaker:like an image, a headline, and a summary.
Speaker:It's meant to feel like Instagram in the inbox, right?
Speaker:Um, in that format, we reverse engineered from hundreds of different
Speaker:formats because we figured out that that's what, that's what Outlook,
Speaker:Gmail and Yahoo love to deliver.
Speaker:They know that that's valuable content.
Speaker:That format is used by millions of companies all over the world.
Speaker:So we just reverse engineered that and basically started making it smarter.
Speaker:I like to say there's three forms of truth in the game of marketing.
Speaker:There's what the business thinks the market wants,
Speaker:there's what the market says that they want, and those
Speaker:what they actually click on.
Speaker:And we like to over index on that third one, right?
Speaker:Like, so what are they clicking on?
Speaker:And then give them more of what they're clicking on
Speaker:the next thing that's Dynamically.
Speaker:So, so that's, that's why we're able to warm people's lists up more efficiently.
Speaker:'cause like our machine learning is starting to understand like
Speaker:what lists are good, what clusters of customers are likely to open.
Speaker:It does like an ideal buyer persona analysis.
Speaker:And it starts looking at like, oh, these people are kind of like these people.
Speaker:So it's not just like.
Speaker:A chat, GPT summarized newsletter.
Speaker:There's like a whole bunch of backend machine learning intelligence that's,
Speaker:that's like fighting the war of email on your behalf and making it better
Speaker:every time you send an an email out.
Speaker:Because at a surface level, like if someone were to look at
Speaker:daily ai, and when I first heard about it, I was like, awesome.
Speaker:They're like, it creates many email newsletters for me, like super fast.
Speaker:And it, it's does it in a smart way, but without diving deeper into it,
Speaker:you don't realize, yeah, it's dynamic.
Speaker:It's actually changing depending on their actions, which like there's no way you
Speaker:can keep up with that with chat GBTI mean you could, I guess try to string
Speaker:together a whole bunch of automations, but, um, that's a pain in itself when
Speaker:most people aren't even sending emails.
Speaker:I. You know, consistently.
Speaker:That is.
Speaker:that leads to a question like, so you, you mentioned obviously there's a gap
Speaker:for any kinda industry, like anyone can use email to connect with folks.
Speaker:But like, what are some of the best ways you've seen Daily used and you
Speaker:know, 'cause I'm just thinking of like, there's individual, you know, there's
Speaker:newsletter companies now that are like, just around that kind of model.
Speaker:And then there's obviously a company that might be listening here that
Speaker:needs to really ramp up email.
Speaker:So what are you seeing
Speaker:Yeah, if, if, first of all, if you want your newsletter to be the product, not
Speaker:a promotional channel for your business, then hands down without any debate, you
Speaker:should go make a newsletter on beehive.
Speaker:Like they, they, they don't have any of the like, machine learning
Speaker:intelligence to tell you what, what to create with more of what people want.
Speaker:They have some AI GPT wrapper stuff, but as far as like the
Speaker:newsletter is the product, like they've, they're very good at that.
Speaker:We didn't, we very intentionally didn't build for that market because
Speaker:that's more of the creator economy.
Speaker:Price expectations are a bit like quite low.
Speaker:We said we wanna work with real business owners that wanna win now with AI
Speaker:and nurture their audience in less than five minutes of effort a week.
Speaker:So literally like.
Speaker:We, we make the newsletter for you and by when I say we, like, we have an AI
Speaker:automated workflow that does it for you.
Speaker:Um, we do all the backend stuff to clean your list and prep it
Speaker:and make sure that it's warmed up.
Speaker:And then we can personalize every email after six sends.
Speaker:I can personalize an email that's like Joe's picks.
Speaker:It'll, it'll be just for Joe and it'll be a little section that's just
Speaker:for you, stuff that you would open.
Speaker:Um, the other big use case that we just launched is like, that's worth pausing on.
Speaker:So like, why is that important?
Speaker:Because all of AI and plus marketing is going from one to many.
Speaker:I send one email to lots of people, to one-to-one.
Speaker:Slowly but surely what's gonna be one-to-one messaging across all platforms.
Speaker:It'll be weird for you to get a bulk message.
Speaker:That's for everybody.
Speaker:But no, almost no ESPs that I know have built their platform.
Speaker:It's all built on one to many.
Speaker:Our ours was built from day one to send to individuals.
Speaker:'cause we saw this vision that it was going to be personalized.
Speaker:You're absolutely right and that's the game changer right there.
Speaker:Like I don't think I'm on any email list that it's a personalized, like,
Speaker:hey, you know, for picked for you.
Speaker:And it's not just some under disguised thing that's getting sent to everybody,
Speaker:it's actually legitimately, dynamically picked based on my actions from before.
Speaker:A hundred percent even
Speaker:like when you open it and like when it's sent, um, the
Speaker:other use case, like, and we're just rolling this out right
Speaker:now, but it's so exciting.
Speaker:I was talking about speed to lead.
Speaker:So, and then our newsletters are basically like a, it's like
Speaker:a. Instagram and the inbox.
Speaker:It's three or four thumb scrolls of content.
Speaker:Well, you can put advertisements, we call them conversion cards inside of your
Speaker:newsletter for your products and services.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Well, every time someone clicks on one of those ads, it's automatically gonna fire
Speaker:off an email to them that says, you know, Hey, Joe, did you wanna buy the widget?
Speaker:If so, here's how you take the next step.
Speaker:If not, thanks for being a subscriber.
Speaker:We saw that you clicked on the latest, something like that in your brand voice
Speaker:with copy that you would approve, right?
Speaker:But
Speaker:immediate speed to lead.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And then, and then in, um, in June, we're rolling out SMS.
Speaker:So if they, if you have their phone number and you've gone through
Speaker:the pain of authenticating for SMS
Speaker:marketing.
Speaker:Then you can also send them a a, a text message that's like, Hey, I saw that you
Speaker:might've been interested in the widget.
Speaker:Um, do you wanna jump on a call or do you wanna do this thing to get immediate
Speaker:support to finish your purchase?
Speaker:And that way you're just like getting back to them super fast and having
Speaker:a conversation that's designed to drive them forward instead of praying
Speaker:that your landing page is going to, uh, do all of the heavy lifting.
Speaker:'cause most cases it's not, especially as people start to get used to interacting
Speaker:with chatbots, everything's gonna need to feel like a chat bot and the landing page
Speaker:is gonna feel old and boring and slow.
Speaker:So if you just get them in chat mode over email or text.
Speaker:We skip the landing page, we get them right into the buying mode, and we
Speaker:make sure they have the support that they need so that you can actually
Speaker:maximize conversions.
Speaker:it.
Speaker:I mean, that's why, uh, I think you're familiar with delphi.ai.
Speaker:I'm one of the advisors there.
Speaker:I was their first user and, and like I live and breathe kind
Speaker:of what you're saying there.
Speaker:But now from from the chat bot side, because everything's a conversation.
Speaker:And that's what people want.
Speaker:They wanna be talked and you know, actually have a unique
Speaker:conversation that they can take an action, take 'em on a journey.
Speaker:Which like now I'm thinking, I'm like, man, I really want
Speaker:Delphi to play with daily ai.
Speaker:Like, 'cause I could see that perfect match being made.
Speaker:Maybe that's a separate conversation, but I
Speaker:we love those guys.
Speaker:Love, love their, love their team.
Speaker:Um,
Speaker:huge fans of what they've built.
Speaker:This is freaking,
Speaker:it's really good, man.
Speaker:Um.
Speaker:I, I like it like when I give keynotes, I, I'll have a slide that
Speaker:says The future of marketing, and it's a picture of C3 PO and Han Solo.
Speaker:You remember that scene at Star Wars?
Speaker:Like, never tell me the odds, because today it's going to
Speaker:be non portable intelligence.
Speaker:It's like it's in your computer, it's in your phone, it's, but, and it'll
Speaker:get to personalization where, why would I need to see a software screen?
Speaker:Software is dead.
Speaker:It has stage two cancer.
Speaker:Like it's all gonna be talking to an LLM that gets the result for you, And
Speaker:I've never heard software stage two cancer.
Speaker:It's
Speaker:Well, It's not, it, it's not gone yet, but it's, you
Speaker:know, it's, and I don't wanna make light of cancer, you know, my father
Speaker:passed away from cancer, so I don't want anybody to take offense to that.
Speaker:I'm, it's just, it's just an analogy.
Speaker:Like it's, it's not gone, but it's in trouble.
Speaker:It
Speaker:needs to be helped.
Speaker:And, and, and the way that it's gonna be helped is things are gonna start
Speaker:to look more like an LLM chat type personalized experience where it's
Speaker:automatically updating and having almost like a C3 po conversation with
Speaker:you in the computer or the phone.
Speaker:Then if you've been paying any attention to robotics, it's, it's very quickly
Speaker:gonna become portable intelligence.
Speaker:It'll be that.
Speaker:But in a robot helping you doing physical things in the real world
Speaker:and talking to you and being connected to the internet.
Speaker:So if your products and services aren't moving in that direction and
Speaker:the AI vendors that you're working with don't seem to be trending in
Speaker:that direction, there's a fairly good chance they're not gonna survive.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:I agree.
Speaker:It's, it's almost like the way I see it, because, uh, and I want to talk
Speaker:about this version in Del in, um, and not Delphi, but in, uh, daily AI is
Speaker:essentially having these triggers and actions built into a system like Delphi
Speaker:has that, it's almost like Zapier make.
Speaker:To an extent built in within there before it can go out to another layer.
Speaker:And I think, yeah, what you're saying is, you know, you have like the smart
Speaker:intelligence of whatever software platform that makes it unique to you, but also
Speaker:it could take actions on your behalf
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And, and that's why having companies that are building with real machine
Speaker:learning, like where they take your corpus of data, like your customer
Speaker:interactions and your individual things,
Speaker:and then they remember them and build on top of them.
Speaker:'cause that's gonna be the critical input.
Speaker:'cause eventually, um, and not, probably not that far from now.
Speaker:It's gonna be AI is talking to ai.
Speaker:You know, marketing will become, you know, it's, it's already here.
Speaker:I've been saying this for about a year and a half, but like marketing is going
Speaker:to become a member matching algorithm.
Speaker:And it's really gonna come down to how good is your offer, where
Speaker:you take your offer and you go to the marketing ai and you say, I
Speaker:want I the ideal buyer for this.
Speaker:And it will make the creative, it will write the
Speaker:copy.
Speaker:And when I say creative, I don't just mean imagery.
Speaker:I mean the videos too.
Speaker:Tiktoks doing it.
Speaker:All the platforms are about to start doing it.
Speaker:It'll make a fake influencer video, it'll publish it, and
Speaker:it'll find who resonates the most.
Speaker:It'll test where the drop off points are, and it'll optimize for it.
Speaker:Now, if your offer is extraordinary.
Speaker:Then what's going to happen is you will end up getting customers back for cheaper
Speaker:than it costs for what they paid you.
Speaker:You have a positive customer acquisition cost, and that's what,
Speaker:that's where marketing's going.
Speaker:So it's, it's already halfway there with, with the new, like you look
Speaker:at Facebook, like they're absolutely getting away from interest targeting.
Speaker:If you understand paid ads, it's just, give me your people.
Speaker:Who do you want?
Speaker:And gimme your offer.
Speaker:You gimme like 10 versions of your creative and I will go find the thousand
Speaker:weirdos that are weird like you and love your weird stuff, and hopefully it's.
Speaker:Acquire them cheaper than what?
Speaker:What they pay you.
Speaker:That's we're already there.
Speaker:So like that's where it's going man.
Speaker:It's like AI is talking TOIs and doing all these workflows for you
Speaker:and getting you customers and leads while you, well, you just work on
Speaker:having great offers and products.
Speaker:So like that's where all of these things are going.
Speaker:And so if your products and services that you're buying from people
Speaker:aren't moving in that direction, then they're probably not gonna survive.
Speaker:Again.
Speaker:That's a real thing.
Speaker:And that, that may be okay,
Speaker:but that's just the way it is.
Speaker:and I, I welcome this future because it, it sounds more fun.
Speaker:It's like we get to, as entrepreneurs as problem solvers, literally create
Speaker:these problem solvers for people, these products and services, and
Speaker:then have, have AI do the marketing.
Speaker:It's like, yeah, we might be great at marketing and love doing it, but
Speaker:it's like, let's be honest, let's solve the problems and actually
Speaker:match to the right people to actually help people faster and scale.
Speaker:And, and now we have the tech here.
Speaker:It's almost here.
Speaker:I mean, shoot, even like you, that that process you talked about dead leads, I
Speaker:mean that finding the people who you can rank, you can kind of do this a little
Speaker:bit yourself by, you know, now going to chat GBT or all these other places.
Speaker:Like, hey, write me a script based off the, the information or the
Speaker:people you have in this list.
Speaker:And you know, you can do all sorts of things.
Speaker:Take that over to Nvidia, make a video or Hagen or Delphi
Speaker:or whatever it is, you know.
Speaker:Um.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's just like when you start to see how the, how the pieces
Speaker:connect and then, and then get your hands dirty and start practicing.
Speaker:Exactly what you said becomes almost like second nature.
Speaker:A hundred percent.
Speaker:And, and just to put it in practical, like ground it.
Speaker:'cause we've we're kind of in
Speaker:big future possibilities like.
Speaker:It's simple, man, like use an LLM every day.
Speaker:Like I highly recommend.
Speaker:Use Chatt PT for most things.
Speaker:Use Claude for writing copy and creating marketing content.
Speaker:Just use those things every day.
Speaker:If you wanna do a video clone, definitely go get on Delphi
Speaker:and they're best in the world.
Speaker:Hands down, like amazing.
Speaker:Um.
Speaker:And then if you want to work on your marketing, like we've made
Speaker:Daily AI so that you don't even need to know how to spell ai.
Speaker:You fill out like 10 or 12 questions on a survey and our AI agent will
Speaker:make your newsletter ship it, and it's really, really easy.
Speaker:Um, but, but get in the game.
Speaker:Like find tools that have practical applications that are focused
Speaker:on outcomes, not just outputs.
Speaker:They're cool, but, you know, in our kinds of businesses, we wanna make money
Speaker:and serve people and you know, like we wanna move the needle in the business.
Speaker:So I, I think that's the big opportunity is just start with
Speaker:daily usage and graduate the tools that will get you the outcome.
Speaker:I think if you use that lens when you're making your purchase decisions and you
Speaker:act on speed of implementation, um, you're gonna be a lot farther ahead
Speaker:than your competitors and that you otherwise would've been, um, and your
Speaker:future self.
Speaker:Definitely.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:Yeah, that's for sure, man.
Speaker:And, uh, yeah, I actually have a Delphi made for my future self to
Speaker:tell me all the stuff that I'm like, yeah, I wouldn't have thought of that.
Speaker:Like, there you go.
Speaker:Um, one use case there.
Speaker:Well, on daily ai.
Speaker:So, uh, you, I mean, you're, I think it's gotten be, well, it has gotten better,
Speaker:obviously releasing these features.
Speaker:You're, I feel like it's now, um, it's, it's framed in a way that a lot more
Speaker:business owners can actually jump on it and I think see it as like a no brainer.
Speaker:Like, hey.
Speaker:You obviously need email in your business.
Speaker:It's still, you know, a, a form of communication that it's not going away.
Speaker:It's just changing.
Speaker:It's modulating in a way that, um, probably most of us don't
Speaker:understand until right now.
Speaker:So thanks to you, Joe.
Speaker:Uh, what's like a, uh, I guess what's the next best step to maybe describe daily ai?
Speaker:Or at least like, say, okay, so here are some of the, I dunno, um,
Speaker:any kind of roadblocks that people might have at this phase where it's
Speaker:like, okay, I see what I need to do.
Speaker:Uh, obviously daily AI just kind of solves a lot of it for you.
Speaker:Um.
Speaker:I dunno what the perfect question here is, but I just wanna kind of just dispel like,
Speaker:like eliminate any blockage of even having email consistently used in a business.
Speaker:Uh, now knowing that you have this really cool tech that's like available
Speaker:Well, well, well, first of all, let me, let me just talk about email as a
Speaker:category and then we'll talk about daily,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:To land a plane on this, um, email has more daily active users than any single
Speaker:social media platform on the planet.
Speaker:And you own the data, so you can, I can take those emails anywhere I want and
Speaker:that, so your email list is an arguably.
Speaker:More valuable intangible asset on your balance sheet than
Speaker:your social media followers,
Speaker:because I don't know about you, but I don't know how many of our friends have
Speaker:like built social media follows and then gotten banned or blocked because
Speaker:they said the wrong thing and then the number one lead source in their
Speaker:business just totally took a nose dive.
Speaker:That doesn't happen with email, right?
Speaker:It's, it's, there's different rules and it's morphing, but it is massive.
Speaker:I do these talks all over the country and I say, you know, Hey, raise
Speaker:your hand if you use email in your business, and every hand goes up.
Speaker:I say, keep your hand in the air if you use TikTok.
Speaker:Most hands go down.
Speaker:I'm picking on TikTok, but it's true.
Speaker:Email is the first killer app that's ever been created on the internet,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:And so it's gonna be very difficult to degradate that in, in human psychology.
Speaker:I'm sure it'll happen one day, but that one day is not today.
Speaker:And everybody has emails and everybody has an email list.
Speaker:Um, and so my, my big thing is, man, like we've made it so easy.
Speaker:Like if you just like, we have a, we have a promo that we put together just
Speaker:for your audience, go to dailyai/joe.
Speaker:Which I thought would be funny 'cause we're both named Joe
Speaker:Daily, AI slash Joe.
Speaker:Dude, just sign up.
Speaker:We,
Speaker:we will make and ship your newsletter in seven days and if it doesn't
Speaker:have a 40% open rate, then you can tell us to kick rocks, right?
Speaker:Like, and by the way, like for people that don't have a 40% open rate, we
Speaker:put like a human tiger team on to help you develop all this, but we also have
Speaker:all these bonuses for your people.
Speaker:It's like we have a whole course on how to grow.
Speaker:An email list.
Speaker:We've, we've done this like hundreds of times.
Speaker:You know, we've built three different email newsletters that have over a hundred
Speaker:thousand subscribers on them ourselves.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Just 'cause So we know, we know what works.
Speaker:If you're trying to, if you're interested in learning ai, we have a whole,
Speaker:uh, course called Master Game ai.
Speaker:It's all the basics.
Speaker:How do you prompt, how do you make images, how do you do voice cloning,
Speaker:video cloning, all the top tools.
Speaker:That's also given as a bonus.
Speaker:Um, and then we also have like a, just a growth course.
Speaker:Like how do you grow?
Speaker:How do you grow, how do you use this stuff to grow your business?
Speaker:So,
Speaker:um, we've tried to make it as easy as possible, right?
Speaker:Like our big objections are like, well, you know, um, like I, number one, I
Speaker:don't know how to grow an email list.
Speaker:Great.
Speaker:We just document all the best practices and gave it to you.
Speaker:There you go.
Speaker:Uh, number two, does email still work?
Speaker:Yeah, it works.
Speaker:And if you don't believe me, just try it.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Uh, and then number three, like, I don't know, ai, I'm not familiar with it.
Speaker:Great.
Speaker:We'll literally do everything for you or.
Speaker:Product and team will do all the heavy lifting.
Speaker:You don't have to do anything.
Speaker:And then if you wanna learn ai, we have a whole library, like a year's
Speaker:worth, like every, I went and taught something every week for a year,
Speaker:and it's just like almost everything you would ever possibly want to
Speaker:know for you or your team to get gamed up on the most common tools.
Speaker:So we've tried to make this as easy as possible, whether you're like totally
Speaker:into AI and you're like a maker, or you have like, you literally can't
Speaker:spell AI for people to get started and, and get them some exposure
Speaker:to something that will actually move the needle in their business.
Speaker:No, it's a, it's a hell of an offer.
Speaker:So yeah, definitely daily.ai/joe.
Speaker:Pretty easy to get to and yeah, it's, it is a no brainer, especially
Speaker:with, I mean, even if you're great at email, I'm like, I don't see free
Speaker:yourself from some of the manual labor.
Speaker:I mean, because that's what, that's why I feel like it is nowadays.
Speaker:I mean, back in the day it was really manual labor, even if
Speaker:you're using chat GPT or anything to kind of craft your own stuff.
Speaker:You're obviously not getting the full dynamic play of like what you
Speaker:described earlier, these emails.
Speaker:a hundred, a hundred percent.
Speaker:Um, in fact, if, uh, if anybody has questions on ai, they can go to DM
Speaker:Joe, as in direct message DM joe.com.
Speaker:I'll take you to the dms of my Instagram.
Speaker:Um, I have a whole team that just helps people with AI stuff.
Speaker:You have questions, you need help.
Speaker:Just say, Hey, I heard about you on
Speaker:this podcast, and we're, we'd love to help you.
Speaker:So just to be a resource.
Speaker:Nice.
Speaker:Well, dude, uh, I hope everyone takes action on that.
Speaker:And also just to finalize or finish this all off, like what's,
Speaker:I guess what's another thing?
Speaker:Um, are there any interesting, like workflows or, or things that, how you
Speaker:use AI in other parts of your life?
Speaker:Like let's say like just your personal life, like is there
Speaker:anything that comes to mind?
Speaker:I've always, I'm always fascinated with how people are taking it outside too.
Speaker:I think one of the biggest things we, as entrepreneurs that we do,
Speaker:and why we do this is like we, we really want freedom, right?
Speaker:We want freedom of location, freedom of time, freedom of,
Speaker:uh, having to work all the time,
Speaker:snow white, clear calendars.
Speaker:And,
Speaker:um, I want time with my family.
Speaker:You know, I've been with my wife 20 years.
Speaker:We have two kids, another one on the way,
Speaker:so I, I, I'm pretty.
Speaker:Thank you, man.
Speaker:I, I, I try to get a little bit better with how I invest my time
Speaker:and I just recommend that you think about your time as investing it because
Speaker:it's more precious than your money.
Speaker:Money is u ubiquitous, you can get it anywhere.
Speaker:The time thing's a little trickier.
Speaker:So I'm thinking all the time, like an investor, how can I reinvest my time?
Speaker:How can I reinvest my time?
Speaker:And so, um.
Speaker:I have a prompt that I run every single week that's around
Speaker:how I can optimize my time.
Speaker:And I did.
Speaker:I feed it the prompt and it asks me questions back.
Speaker:I track my time each week and I answer the questions.
Speaker:Um, but even if you don't track your time, you can just answer the questions
Speaker:and it will give you ideas for how to get the most out of your time, how to save
Speaker:up to five hours a week to remove stuff.
Speaker:Uh, eliminate things, help you mostly say no to things that you
Speaker:should be, should be saying yes to.
Speaker:And just clean up your calendar five, five hours a week at a time.
Speaker:Um, I think if you go to dm joe.com and send me the word time,
Speaker:I have an automation that will send you that prompt and that,
Speaker:that's just like, that's one way.
Speaker:And I, I do that every week, man.
Speaker:Every Sunday I do it.
Speaker:I have my EA send me a report, and then I just, just try to get better
Speaker:with how I invest my time and get a little bit more focused on family and
Speaker:impact and creating and, and a little bit less on, you know, pretty much
Speaker:everything else that isn't helping grow daily AI and serving our customers.
Speaker:Um, you know, and, and it seems like the older we get, man, the more, um,
Speaker:things there are, the more opportunities there are for you to invest your time.
Speaker:But I think the, the first paradigm shift is, you know, you're not spending
Speaker:your time, you're investing it.
Speaker:And the second one is.
Speaker:Just get a little bit better each week, and this prompt can help.
Speaker:Seriously, it's helped me.
Speaker:I've been using it for a long time.
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:Oh man, I love it.
Speaker:months.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So you said, uh, DM joe.com.
Speaker:And then, uh, and then what?
Speaker:Just put time right there
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:dm.
Speaker:joe.com.
Speaker:That'll open up, if you're on Instagram, be be logged in, and then that'll
Speaker:take you right to my ig uh, DM inbox.
Speaker:Just send me the word time and then there'll be like a, a, a mini
Speaker:chat automation that we'll just follow up and take care of you.
Speaker:Sick.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:I'm gonna do it right now.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I, I see it exactly the same two kids of my own, you know, they're young and.
Speaker:At the same time, you're right.
Speaker:Like the more successful, or at least the more you're in the
Speaker:game, the more conversations and things happen and show up.
Speaker:And if you don't have that no muscle built in or like blockers on your
Speaker:calendar, whatever it is to create that Snow White calendar, um,
Speaker:yeah, it's, it's gonna be tough.
Speaker:So, appreciate you brother.
Speaker:Um, this has been fun.
Speaker:Thank you so much for sharing, being open with it all, and, uh,
Speaker:hope everybody jumps on daily too.
Speaker:So thanks for making the platform, bro.
Speaker:Dude, my pleasure.
Speaker:I'm here to help.
Speaker:Thanks for
Speaker:having me.
