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.
