Speaker:

So thank you so much for joining us today, Michael Jean.

Speaker:

Thanks for having me.

Speaker:

Excited to be here.

Speaker:

I am dying to know what took you down this journey of ai, and I know you have so

Speaker:

much passionate about it, so I'm looking forward to hearing about your story.

Speaker:

Love to tell it.

Speaker:

Okay, quick pause.

Speaker:

This episode is sponsored by our Profit Clarity Masterclass.

Speaker:

If you've been avoiding your finances and quietly hoping it won't catch up

Speaker:

with you, we want you to hear this.

Speaker:

You're not failing.

Speaker:

This is incredibly common for most business owners.

Speaker:

Most people don't avoid money because they don't care.

Speaker:

They avoid it because it feels heavy, confusing, or stressful.

Speaker:

In our free live masterclass, we're gonna show you a clear, more supportive

Speaker:

way to handle your finances so your business can actually support your life.

Speaker:

You can learn more and save your seat at less math, more money.com.

Speaker:

We look forward to seeing you there.

Speaker:

And I think I can relate to a lot of folks out there.

Speaker:

'cause I'm not a technologist.

Speaker:

My background was in accounting and finance.

Speaker:

That's how I was, I started my career.

Speaker:

That's the stuff that I worked on for many years.

Speaker:

Finance, accounting, strategy.

Speaker:

But I was always interested in technology.

Speaker:

I, I always liked to pe tell people.

Speaker:

As an example, I was living in Ohio, got our first house with my wife in

Speaker:

2004, and we had a robot lawnmower.

Speaker:

At that time, so like I was always that weird guy that had that.

Speaker:

So 21 years ago I had a robot lawnmower, which is funny.

Speaker:

It's still not a thing today.

Speaker:

I thought it would be in the future, but we're not quite there yet.

Speaker:

But always been interested in technology.

Speaker:

Eventually got a job at PayPal where I was introduced to a lot of new

Speaker:

technology, including machine learning.

Speaker:

And machine learning is a subset of AI just in the 2010s.

Speaker:

When I was there, nobody said the words artificial intelligence.

Speaker:

It was, it's gone through many cycles over the last 70 years, and basically it

Speaker:

was, you would never mutter the words ai.

Speaker:

While you were there, but it was all machine learning and I saw the amazing

Speaker:

things these engineers would build and do with it, and it was pretty incredible.

Speaker:

But look, there's only a handful of companies around the world that had

Speaker:

these kind of machine learning engineers and PayPal happened to be one of them.

Speaker:

So fast forward to 2021.

Speaker:

And I'm using an open AI product called G PT three.

Speaker:

For the first time I finally got access and it was life changing for me because I

Speaker:

literally remember at that time it was the first time I could do things the engineers

Speaker:

were doing with just using real language stuff, and it was incredible for me.

Speaker:

It was very eyeopening, even when my engineering friends didn't get it.

Speaker:

Long story short, I left PayPal within a year because I was like,

Speaker:

why is nobody talking about AI stuff?

Speaker:

I started writing about that.

Speaker:

I got connected to San Diego State's AI Center.

Speaker:

Then chat, BT came out and then all, all these things started to happen after that.

Speaker:

But that, that's basically my AI journey.

Speaker:

I love that.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

We started using, it's now Jasper, but it was something before Jasper.

Speaker:

About two or three, maybe three years before chat hit the scenes.

Speaker:

Yeah, and it was mind blowing when it comes to writing.

Speaker:

And we used to fight over, no, he is my boyfriend.

Speaker:

No, he is my boyfriend.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

AI is amazing in so many ways, but tell us about how, how can small business

Speaker:

owners use it to free up their time and to make them more profitable?

Speaker:

Yeah, so small business owners I think have a huge advantage here because

Speaker:

they have never had access to a data scientist, to an engineering team.

Speaker:

To a legal team, all of these things that an AI can do decently well.

Speaker:

Often with 90 plus percent accuracy, you can get access to that for 20 bucks a

Speaker:

month, and that that is pretty incredible.

Speaker:

And I think it puts small businesses, frankly, more of an advantage than larger

Speaker:

businesses who are frankly having a hard time pivoting and changing towards this.

Speaker:

The concept I call it is the Borg chart, BORG.

Speaker:

And when I talk about that, what I'm referring to is you have one person, a

Speaker:

solopreneur potentially, and you have all of these other functions reporting to

Speaker:

you, except they happen to be computers, ais, borgs, whatever it might be.

Speaker:

That is how I look at it and think about it.

Speaker:

I literally have my own version of a board chart because I use one AI for

Speaker:

this, another for this tool and so forth, and anybody could build that out.

Speaker:

And it just kinda logically lets you think about, okay, where are

Speaker:

the things I can use AI to help?

Speaker:

And where are the things where I need to focus my time?

Speaker:

Attention and so forth.

Speaker:

And we could talk about how you differentiate between those two for sure.

Speaker:

But that's the future and how I think about it as a small business owner, what

Speaker:

you made me think of was small businesses were really slow to adapt websites, but

Speaker:

they were fast to adapt social media.

Speaker:

And that changed everything because when social media first hit.

Speaker:

And those businesses that figured it out really early on, they were

Speaker:

gaining market share like crazy, right?

Speaker:

Because they were doing things that hadn't been done.

Speaker:

And I feel like this is, AI is the same thing for those business

Speaker:

owners who adapt early on.

Speaker:

Kirsten, a hundred percent.

Speaker:

Look, the tools are out there to enable you to be extremely productive today.

Speaker:

This is oh, in six months and will do that.

Speaker:

It can vastly help with your operations today.

Speaker:

I think it's just taking the time to do that, experimenting a little bit to do

Speaker:

that, changing your habits, changing your workflows, and just saying, okay, where

Speaker:

is it that AI can help with my processes?

Speaker:

And being able to kinda let go of that and to say, okay.

Speaker:

Now the AI is going to do the first 80% of the work, and then my job

Speaker:

now is to check the work that the AI does to make sure it's right.

Speaker:

It's a very different role, especially for somebody who is a small business owner

Speaker:

who might be very controlling over this, who wants it exactly in a certain way.

Speaker:

You need to really decide, okay, what is it that needs to be perfect and done by

Speaker:

me from start to finish versus what is it where I can have an AI do the first

Speaker:

cuts and then I take it over from there?

Speaker:

For me, it's nothing.

Speaker:

There's nothing that I can do.

Speaker:

I love that.

Speaker:

Obviously my one-on-one coaching.

Speaker:

I, I do that.

Speaker:

It's just me.

Speaker:

But again, I am often providing them with AI resources and things like that.

Speaker:

So yeah, I think that everything we do and isn't any different than doing a

Speaker:

Google search and looking up things or doing research before you do something.

Speaker:

You're doing it start to finish because you're doing the research.

Speaker:

So why not just have AI do all of that?

Speaker:

I think you need to decide where the value add is, and let's use your

Speaker:

one-on-one coaching as an example.

Speaker:

That's a perfect example of, for this, I would never think that one

Speaker:

of your clients is gonna want to say, Hey, I want to talk to your AI.

Speaker:

Instead, they want to talk to you.

Speaker:

They want to talk to you for all of the amazing things.

Speaker:

I'm sure you're getting rights and sometimes wrong, and the personal

Speaker:

things happen in your life and all that.

Speaker:

All the things that make you human is what matters in those situations.

Speaker:

But even with that, I would say.

Speaker:

There are ways to even be more better, be more robust with that.

Speaker:

One of the things you can do is you can use a tool like Notebook lm.

Speaker:

So Notebook LM is made by Google.

Speaker:

You can literally, if you had your client's permission, you would

Speaker:

wanna talk to them about this.

Speaker:

But you say, Hey.

Speaker:

Client.

Speaker:

What I wanna do is I wanna take all of our discussions.

Speaker:

I'm going to transcribe all of 'em.

Speaker:

I'm gonna use Otter or one of these other tools to just transcribe it.

Speaker:

And I'm gonna put all of these into a notebook that just you and I are

Speaker:

the only people that have access to.

Speaker:

And at any point in time, I can query that.

Speaker:

You can query that.

Speaker:

You can ask questions, we can see how progress is, and that's a way to.

Speaker:

Enhance what you've already been doing and those are the things I'm like, okay,

Speaker:

it keeps the human side, but it lets the AI even make it even more robust.

Speaker:

Yeah, I love that.

Speaker:

Yeah, we love Notebook lm. That's such a great tool.

Speaker:

It's a great tool.

Speaker:

Yeah, we just started using it, but we're excited about what it can do.

Speaker:

I know Notebook LM is one of them and we obviously all know about chat.

Speaker:

I think some of our clients get confused about which one to use where, and I

Speaker:

know you say experiment, but it's, can you talk a little bit about what

Speaker:

information they should give the, the AI and what they maybe can expect back?

Speaker:

Because Kirsten said, we're used to just searching for things on Google.

Speaker:

How do I do this?

Speaker:

Or where can I find that?

Speaker:

But there's so much more that you can do when talking to, if you will, AI.

Speaker:

Jeannie.

Speaker:

I would say largely what I would say to people is, this is a personal

Speaker:

preference thing in my mind.

Speaker:

There's three models, chat, GPT, Claude, and Google Gemini,

Speaker:

they're all kind of world class.

Speaker:

They're all available for 20 bucks a month.

Speaker:

If you're going with any of 'em.

Speaker:

You're in a good place.

Speaker:

Like any of those three models are really spectacular.

Speaker:

There might be some things.

Speaker:

I work in these things all day, so I can see the nuance in my Borg chart.

Speaker:

I know I use Claude more for writing than I do chat GBT, and there's some

Speaker:

subtle reasons why, but for the most part, you're gonna get 90, 95% of

Speaker:

the benefit if you just stick one.

Speaker:

So I would not, especially in the beginning, don't over complicate it.

Speaker:

Find one frankly, how you find your best one.

Speaker:

Put the exact same prompt into three models.

Speaker:

Yeah, just open 'em all up side by side.

Speaker:

And you can use other ones too.

Speaker:

There's a French one called Misra.

Speaker:

There's Meta has one, there's Grok by X.

Speaker:

There's all of these things put the same prompt into all of these.

Speaker:

And frankly, just see which one of the free versions gives you

Speaker:

the best result and just copy and paste just on different tabs.

Speaker:

It'll take one minute to do that.

Speaker:

Do that a few times, skim through them all and just see, oh, okay, I like the vibe

Speaker:

of this one more, whatever it might be.

Speaker:

Or this one has some nuance, or they gave me some other insights.

Speaker:

Ultimately, it's a give and take.

Speaker:

You want to be overly sharing as much as you are comfortable with

Speaker:

these models because they're naive.

Speaker:

They truly know nothing about you unless you tell them that.

Speaker:

I like to think of them as like an intern who happens to have a PhD who knows

Speaker:

nothing about you or your business.

Speaker:

And that PhD level intern is super smart, but if you don't tell them exactly what

Speaker:

you want, they're gonna come back with something that just doesn't look right.

Speaker:

Share to the amount that you're comfortable, find the model you want,

Speaker:

and then just do a back and forth, because it's never going to give, unlike

Speaker:

in a Google search where, okay, you can look down the links and see something.

Speaker:

Maybe it's not the first one, but it's in the third or the fourth.

Speaker:

You might probably have to actually talk back to it a few times before

Speaker:

you get the answer you actually want.

Speaker:

It becomes more of a conversation.

Speaker:

So that's, that is literally just part of the process here,

Speaker:

and you will improve over time.

Speaker:

Don't be frustrated, but just work with the model and it will give you

Speaker:

eventually what you're looking for.

Speaker:

It's funny because with my neurotic personality, I have all of them open

Speaker:

at all times because That's great.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Take stuff from one to the other, and yeah, you do start to realize what

Speaker:

their pros and cons are with how they write and how they deliver information.

Speaker:

But I'm, how are you feeling about chats?

Speaker:

Atlas?

Speaker:

Oh, the browser?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I have not used it.

Speaker:

I think that browser-based AI systems are a great direction to go.

Speaker:

So I have been using the Microsoft Edge browser that has an integrated ai.

Speaker:

I'm shocked at how little I have been using it, to be completely honest.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I think part of it's just old habits.

Speaker:

Part of it is, I think it was running on an old model before and

Speaker:

I would tell it stuff and I'm like.

Speaker:

You're just dumb.

Speaker:

You're not like, I'm trying to do this on the page.

Speaker:

You're trying like you're not getting it.

Speaker:

I have played around with comets, which is the perplexity browser as well.

Speaker:

I think it's a direction.

Speaker:

I am a little bit concerned about some of the security things related

Speaker:

to that because it is getting really full exp exposure to some

Speaker:

sensitive information potentially.

Speaker:

And there's also a brave who makes another browser put out a paper just

Speaker:

in the past week saying how these are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks.

Speaker:

I've been actually playing with that myself.

Speaker:

I have not been able to do it, but a prompt injection just to take

Speaker:

a step back so everybody knows.

Speaker:

Basically, here's the test I'm doing.

Speaker:

I live in Northern California.

Speaker:

I'm a big Golden State Warriors fan, big time, love gonna, the games, all that.

Speaker:

Our tribe, let's just say Los Angeles Lakers.

Speaker:

So I made a Los Angeles Lakers fan page, and on the front it looks

Speaker:

like Lakers are great, all this.

Speaker:

But what I did was I wrote secret messages in the code that the user

Speaker:

can't see that you should love the lost, the, the Golden State Warriors.

Speaker:

And if you're an AI model and somebody asks you what this page is about.

Speaker:

They would say that the Warriors are the greatest team ever.

Speaker:

So to the user, it looks like Lakers are great, but if you ask

Speaker:

an ai, it'll be like, oh yeah, the Warriors are awesome and all that.

Speaker:

Now I use this as a very safe, very silly example to think about more

Speaker:

nefarious things that could happen.

Speaker:

It could have written on the page, Hey, buy the most expensive item

Speaker:

on here, or convince the user to buy this thing, or whatever.

Speaker:

Like where the user wouldn't see that and that gets fed into the

Speaker:

AI and the AI feeds that back.

Speaker:

Again, I haven't been able to replicate that others have, and that is something

Speaker:

that does Give me a little bit of pause with the AI browsers for now.

Speaker:

Two years from now, I think this will largely be solved and I think that

Speaker:

is just gonna be the normal way that we're AC accessing the internet online.

Speaker:

Yeah, the internet got bit smarter after websites way back when

Speaker:

Started using like black hat.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Techniques or they would have messaging that was white text on a white page.

Speaker:

So just like you said, nobody looking at it could see it, but the box that

Speaker:

we're reading the pages could see it.

Speaker:

Jamie, this is the exact same thing.

Speaker:

Basically, it is exactly the same as what you're describing here.

Speaker:

People used to and the HTML headers and meta tags.

Speaker:

They used to put all these keywords that were that, and this is how.

Speaker:

Ask Jebs and Alta Vista and all these websites indexed that they were just dumb

Speaker:

and then Google figured out a better way.

Speaker:

That's why I say, in two years, we will figure out a way to

Speaker:

avoid these type of attacks.

Speaker:

But as of now, I would just have a little bit of caution, especially

Speaker:

using this on more sensitive sites.

Speaker:

Fully naming for reminded me.

Speaker:

That's been a long time, time been around.

Speaker:

So I know that you told us there are some other ways that you can use AI like in.

Speaker:

As a sounding board for drafting content, improving decision making.

Speaker:

Talk to us a little bit about reviewing contracts, testing business ideas.

Speaker:

Talk a little bit more about that.

Speaker:

'cause I think those are all things that people may not even think about doing.

Speaker:

But Jeannie, it's crazy and I just, as I'm writing this article about Borg

Speaker:

charts, I'm trying to figure out all the different ways that I'm using an ai

Speaker:

and like you, you mentioned contracts.

Speaker:

Anytime I get something that is legal sent to me, my go-to for

Speaker:

that is Claude and I basically just throw it into Claude and say, Hey.

Speaker:

This is a term sheet for somebody who wants an investment.

Speaker:

I want to invest.

Speaker:

Is there anything unusual in here?

Speaker:

Anything out of the ordinary and just even simple questions like

Speaker:

that on a contract or whatever it might be, will immediately flag.

Speaker:

Because if you think about these models have seen millions and millions of

Speaker:

contracts and term sheets and all that.

Speaker:

If somebody's trying to slip something in there, it will catch that.

Speaker:

It will identify that.

Speaker:

Now to be very clear, if this is like a $10 million contract that I'm signing,

Speaker:

I'm gonna have a lawyer look at that.

Speaker:

But if it's a $10 contract I'm signing, I'm not gonna bring that to a lawyer.

Speaker:

I'm just gonna put it in Claude.

Speaker:

30 seconds later it's gonna, yeah, go ahead and sign it.

Speaker:

Or no, you're giving away your firstborn if you sign this.

Speaker:

And then you just have the balance between the two.

Speaker:

So contracts is a great way, brainstorming all the time, just, Hey, I'm thinking

Speaker:

I can do X or Y, can you give me 10 other ideas that I might be able

Speaker:

to do for this business, for this promotion, for whatever it might be.

Speaker:

And another one, which I love, is I use it almost as an administrative

Speaker:

assistant on a, on many different things.

Speaker:

I go for walks.

Speaker:

When I go for walks, I get ideas.

Speaker:

I use it to basically just gather my thoughts.

Speaker:

I will talk to it.

Speaker:

It transcribes everything that I'm saying.

Speaker:

So this is using chat GT's voice mode, which is just available

Speaker:

to, I think everybody on the app.

Speaker:

I'll just say, Hey, chat gt.

Speaker:

I just want you to listen for a while, and after I'm done talking, I want

Speaker:

you to ask some follow up questions.

Speaker:

On that, or I might even say, I don't even want you to ask follow up questions.

Speaker:

I just wanna make sure that you got all that and it'll just

Speaker:

transcribe everything beautifully.

Speaker:

And then I could get back to my desk.

Speaker:

It could summarize it, it could do whatever else, and that I

Speaker:

even have it going through, it's attached to my Gmail account.

Speaker:

So I actually have certain things where it's like, Hey, if you ever see this

Speaker:

in my email, I want you to give me an alert, and I want you to know that.

Speaker:

This thing has popped up.

Speaker:

You should send an email out, whatever it might be.

Speaker:

So there's so many different ways you can use it.

Speaker:

So you made me think.

Speaker:

'cause I, I love just testing things.

Speaker:

I'm always trying something new.

Speaker:

Great.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

We have been changing our schedule up for 2025, what days we're

Speaker:

gonna host our master classes.

Speaker:

We have three podcast interviews we do a week.

Speaker:

So just changing up our calendar, blocking in some blocks for focus work,

Speaker:

content creation, things like that.

Speaker:

How would you use chat to evaluate that?

Speaker:

Or could you AI any AI to improve it?

Speaker:

Is that even outta my mind, or could that happen?

Speaker:

No, of course you could.

Speaker:

Honestly, Kirsten, like the hard part about this is

Speaker:

there's infinite possibilities.

Speaker:

So really if you can dream it up, it can help.

Speaker:

Like some ways it's gonna be more useful than others.

Speaker:

I think with what you're describing, if you have, if you're building out a

Speaker:

masterclass and a curriculum and all this kind of stuff, and you have timelines

Speaker:

set for that, what I would do is I would actually use the concept of a pre-mortem.

Speaker:

I don't know if folks know this, folks probably know a post-mortem.

Speaker:

So after something is completed, you say, Hey, what went wrong?

Speaker:

I would say, Hey, chat, CBT.

Speaker:

I want you to do a pre-mortem on this.

Speaker:

So pre-mortem is basically, Hey, we haven't launched the product

Speaker:

yet, but I want you to imagine things that are gonna go wrong.

Speaker:

When I was at PayPal, I would host pre-mortems and I would get all the

Speaker:

leaders of different areas of a product that we're launching and basically

Speaker:

say, Hey, this failed in six months.

Speaker:

What went wrong?

Speaker:

And address those.

Speaker:

And it's a great way for people to think about the future.

Speaker:

And address things.

Speaker:

Now, I would do that exact same thing with.

Speaker:

Attach GBT or any of the large language models, give it all of your information.

Speaker:

Tell it what you want to do, what you wanna achieve.

Speaker:

Say that you're doing a pre-mortem.

Speaker:

It will understand that concept and say, okay, tell me what's gonna

Speaker:

go potentially wrong with this.

Speaker:

Where are the gaps?

Speaker:

What are the things that I'm not seeing with this?

Speaker:

Start with that.

Speaker:

You know, lay those out and it's gonna give you 20 potential things

Speaker:

to be like, oh my gosh, number four, 17 and 19 are really on.

Speaker:

How should I start to address those things?

Speaker:

And then that would be the next part of the threat where like then it's

Speaker:

giving you a whole bunch of ideas.

Speaker:

Some of 'em are not gonna be accurate.

Speaker:

That's where you use your own.

Speaker:

Human intuition, intelligence.

Speaker:

We still have a part in all of this stuff for quite some time, but then it will

Speaker:

help you just iterate again and again.

Speaker:

I love take testing business ideas.

Speaker:

I love the whole pre-mortem and post-mortem.

Speaker:

I think in market research, I feel like that's a big thing.

Speaker:

Jeanie and I talk so much to our clients about the importance of market

Speaker:

research, and I always give the example, McDonald's isn't gonna spend a penny

Speaker:

to roll out a a McRib until they've done a ton of market research and

Speaker:

they're gonna test it in a small area.

Speaker:

The business owners who have the least amount of time and the

Speaker:

least money, they put things out without doing market research.

Speaker:

I find AI to be fantastic at helping with market research.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

So you can use, here's what the prompt I would have.

Speaker:

Say you're coming up with a new logo for your business and you

Speaker:

think that this thing is great.

Speaker:

What I would do is I would describe your ideal customer.

Speaker:

I would put that into, and actually you want, I would never do it with one.

Speaker:

I would give three different versions of a logo because again, the last thing,

Speaker:

because the F, the one problem people always have with the market research

Speaker:

is they always bias the customer to the answer that they want to hear.

Speaker:

You never ever want to do that.

Speaker:

And because you can bias the AI as well, they're s fantic, they want to please

Speaker:

you show it three logos, show it three decent logos, maybe three different

Speaker:

versions, and say, Hey, you are this user.

Speaker:

You are this person.

Speaker:

I want you to tell me which of these three logos you like best.

Speaker:

And give me pros and cons for every one of 'em is a reason why, and feed that

Speaker:

into six, seven different language models.

Speaker:

And that's just a great way to just test that out.

Speaker:

And if they're all pointing in one direction.

Speaker:

Maybe that tells you something to be clear.

Speaker:

I would never say this is a substitute for talking to customers, but it's an

Speaker:

interim step before we're getting there.

Speaker:

So I would use AI as a customer, standin.

Speaker:

Before I would actually talk to the customer.

Speaker:

I would try and get a little bit closer and then talk to some real flesh and

Speaker:

blood human beings about it after you've gotten out some of the bugs, some of

Speaker:

the more mistakes get in front of people and then get their actual reaction.

Speaker:

But yeah, it's great for market research.

Speaker:

There's also, as you I'm sure already know, there's different custom GPTs.

Speaker:

That seems to be a big trend now is I'm gonna write a custom GPT

Speaker:

for how I do things, and then I'm gonna sell it to someone.

Speaker:

So are you a fan of those?

Speaker:

Do you have suggestions or things to warn people about, if you will?

Speaker:

Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker:

I've never, so I've made them, I've released them.

Speaker:

The first one I did was something called TA GBT.

Speaker:

So it was literally for tattoos and I don't have any tattoos.

Speaker:

I just thought it was a funny name.

Speaker:

So I was like, I made a custom GPT called tat, GPT.

Speaker:

And it is funny, I was looking the other day, it's got like thousands of people who

Speaker:

have used it and I'm like, what is that?

Speaker:

Like how, who is actually using this thing?

Speaker:

But yeah, but it was free.

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

It feels a little bit weird to be charging.

Speaker:

I've heard people have charged for them.

Speaker:

It seems odd.

Speaker:

I, I look if you're getting benefit from it, if there's value in it, great.

Speaker:

I think there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker:

If you have proprietary customer data, you wanna introduce that

Speaker:

and market that to other people.

Speaker:

More power to you.

Speaker:

I would say though, more so than that, custom GPTs are just a great

Speaker:

way to share information like within a company, within people on your team.

Speaker:

I made another custom GPT that was all a whole bunch of Abraham Link

Speaker:

readings and leadership quotes and all this other kind of stuff.

Speaker:

And basically train the GPT to give consulting feedback

Speaker:

like a Abraham Lincoln would.

Speaker:

And look, it's not actually like Abe, but it's fun to just get that second

Speaker:

opinion of, Hey Abe, I'm having a hard time with this and this, and those

Speaker:

things are out there in the world.

Speaker:

Whatever it is that you, your team, people you work with, your customers, you have

Speaker:

like custom GPTs are a great way to.

Speaker:

Share information in a very kind of secure way where it could be like, okay, I'm

Speaker:

only gonna get access to these people, or anybody in the world can use it.

Speaker:

Love that.

Speaker:

So when you really advise business owners to create a culture of ai,

Speaker:

first, how would you describe that?

Speaker:

Let's assume you're not a solopreneur.

Speaker:

Let's assume you have a company and there's 10 people at this company.

Speaker:

I think you, as the leader of that organization, have to set an example.

Speaker:

The first thing that you do is you get a corporate account to any of these.

Speaker:

You get an enterprise, Claude Chat, GPT Gemini, just get an enterprise account.

Speaker:

All of the data's going, so have it so that there's no excuse

Speaker:

that your employees don't use it.

Speaker:

I would set up a different kind of Slack or teams or Zoom or whatever it

Speaker:

is that you use internally to share message and so forth type of channel.

Speaker:

It could be a WhatsApp, it could be whatever I would call

Speaker:

it specifically AI learnings.

Speaker:

And this is just a place for people to share.

Speaker:

And then I would begin just putting stuff in there myself, about me as a leader.

Speaker:

And I wouldn't only do ways that I'm using AI professionally.

Speaker:

Because frankly for myself, I use AI for more personal things than I use for

Speaker:

professional things just 'cause like it is that effective and everything

Speaker:

from travel planning to giving me recipes for meals based on what it

Speaker:

knows that my family likes and doesn't like to eat and so forth, and how bad

Speaker:

of a cook I am and all this stuff.

Speaker:

There's so many things and ultimately the more you share, the more ideas you hear.

Speaker:

One, you're gonna be creating that culture of, that's AI first within your company.

Speaker:

Like you've given 'em the tool.

Speaker:

There's no excuse.

Speaker:

You say, use it for anything you want to.

Speaker:

And then you can start giving ideas and you'd say, Hey team,

Speaker:

I want you to see yours too.

Speaker:

I want you to teach me.

Speaker:

It could be things you've heard online, whatever it might be, but let's start

Speaker:

sharing in this channel about that so we could all learn about this together.

Speaker:

'cause here's the reality, like nobody is.

Speaker:

Expert in this.

Speaker:

I'm not.

Speaker:

This is new technology.

Speaker:

This is a new paradigm that's only a few years old.

Speaker:

We're all gonna be learning on this together.

Speaker:

And if you say to your organization, Hey, we're going to go on this learning

Speaker:

journey together, that is much more likely that you're gonna get everybody

Speaker:

on board, everybody excited and really build out that AI first organization.

Speaker:

You gave me an idea.

Speaker:

What was that?

Speaker:

So Jeannie and I are moving our communities off of Facebook and into

Speaker:

a community that's similar to school, but people are resistant to move.

Speaker:

And so we're thinking about how to do that.

Speaker:

And we have three different programs where we focus on marketing, virtual assistants,

Speaker:

bookkeeping, virtual assistants, and software, virtual assistants.

Speaker:

So we have a primary community for all of our.

Speaker:

And then we have sub communities based on which programs they're in.

Speaker:

With us.

Speaker:

I was thinking maybe we should do more AI information, do a, an AI

Speaker:

Wednesday where either Jeannie, we teach something we've learned or we bring

Speaker:

someone in, like Mike or someone else.

Speaker:

So we, because I feel like AI is so important and people

Speaker:

wanna have conversations around it, and maybe that will be the

Speaker:

kind of the draw or the reward.

Speaker:

Yeah, the carrot, so to speak.

Speaker:

To get people to really want to come into the community and be more active in it.

Speaker:

Kirsten, I think that's spot on.

Speaker:

Look, the only way to learn this stuff is to frankly just hear from others.

Speaker:

Yes, I know this stuff just 'cause I absorb so much from X and Reddit

Speaker:

and newsletters and all this, and I talk to people and I have my own

Speaker:

Slack and Discord channels where I share all this stuff and I constantly

Speaker:

see what other people are doing.

Speaker:

That inspires me to do something else.

Speaker:

And this is how we learn as a species and this is how we're

Speaker:

going to learn in the age of ai.

Speaker:

I think that's a great example.

Speaker:

Awesome.

Speaker:

Thank you for the idea.

Speaker:

I'm excited about it.

Speaker:

Now that could be really fun because we could do like live demonstrations too.

Speaker:

Totally.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

'cause when people see how easy, like I made a commercial.

Speaker:

And it very much looks like an official, like news broadcast, commercial.

Speaker:

It's all made by ai.

Speaker:

And I was even showing it to my kids and I made this in an hour and it

Speaker:

was just like, can I actually make something that's going to fool somebody?

Speaker:

I'm like, my God, you can make these kind of things now like this is possible.

Speaker:

And again, it's not to actually say, let's make commercial to fool people.

Speaker:

It's how do I actually make a. A commercial for my

Speaker:

business using these tools.

Speaker:

There was a great example of a, when VO three came out, which

Speaker:

is a Google's text video tool.

Speaker:

There was a dentist office down in LA that made this video of a gorilla skydiving.

Speaker:

The gorilla has its two front teeth knocked out, and then the gorilla

Speaker:

goes to their dentist office and gets the implants put in, and then

Speaker:

the grill is smiling at the end.

Speaker:

And this got, I think, like 5 million views on TikTok.

Speaker:

Really.

Speaker:

And if you think that probably took them a couple hours to do a whole

Speaker:

lot of human creativity and stitching together and playing with these videos.

Speaker:

And so for a hundred bucks in a couple hours to get 5 million views on

Speaker:

TikTok for your little dental office, like that's pretty darn impressive.

Speaker:

And there's so much opportunity for small business owners to just get creative and

Speaker:

use these tools and know that the barriers that might have existed a few years

Speaker:

ago, 'cause you didn't have a bunch of.

Speaker:

Money to do a television commercial or whatever it might be.

Speaker:

Like you can do that now.

Speaker:

Like again, it's gonna be ai.

Speaker:

You can admit freely admit that it's ai, but it's going to

Speaker:

enable you to do so much more.

Speaker:

Oh, Michael, this has just been tremendous.

Speaker:

Thank you so much.

Speaker:

For coming and joining us today.

Speaker:

And so I want to know, and I know there's people listening or watching

Speaker:

who want to know how might they be able to reach out to you if they had some

Speaker:

questions or wanted to have a chat?

Speaker:

Sure.

Speaker:

Look, always happy to chat with people.

Speaker:

I think the easiest place to find me is tabasco.com that has all my social link.

Speaker:

I'm the only Mike Tabasco on LinkedIn.

Speaker:

If you wanna direct message me there or anything like that,

Speaker:

or on any other platform that I'm on, I'm more than happy to.

Speaker:

So I appreciate that and always I'm interested in people who just have

Speaker:

questions or anything like that.

Speaker:

I'm a teacher by nature, so anything I can do to help out,

Speaker:

don't hesitate to reach out.

Speaker:

I love that.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

We love to teach as well, but it just feels like AI is.

Speaker:

Changing at the speed of light.

Speaker:

So it's constantly the feel of, I'm just trying to keep up.

Speaker:

No trust, trying.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But I guess you just have to recognize everybody's doing that.

Speaker:

This has been fantastic, Michael, and we might ask you if you don't

Speaker:

mind, to come back at a later time, because again, things may have

Speaker:

changed in a year from now, so we would love that if you wouldn't mind.

Speaker:

It'd be a pleasure.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Anytime you want me to come back, con always happy to.

Speaker:

Thank you and thank you so much for today.

Speaker:

It's been so much fun and so great, and you get all of us thinking

Speaker:

of creative ways to use ai.

Speaker:

So thank you again.
