Everything I started off withutting with me 43 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 4: catching up on emails and paperwork that I have to do. 44 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 4: I try my best not to schedule any meetings before 45 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 4: eleven am. Knowing if I can help it, because I 46 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 4: need time to set up my day. And I also 47 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 4: try my best on Mondays and Fridays not to schedule 48 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 4: any virtual meetings or in person if I can, because 49 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 4: I need money to set my week and I need 50 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 4: Friday to close my week so that through the weekend, 51 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 4: I'm not thinking of what I needed to do. Well. 52 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: Know, I always talk about stress on this show How 53 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: to Overcome Stress. You know I deal with stress, and 54 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: you know society you said morning meditation. Now I may 55 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 3: be doing the same thing. Tell us what exactly morning meditation? 56 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: Because you rarely have people talk about that, and they 57 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 3: may be doing it different ways than you're doing it. 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: We need to understand that we do have to set 59 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: a side time. We have to slow it down and 60 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 3: control the elements, because once you open that door, it 61 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: comes in hard and strong. 62 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: Yes, like a flood. So my mind saws with prayer. 63 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 4: I'm a granddaughter of a preacher of a pastor, but 64 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: mine definitely starts with prayer. And I try to make 65 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 4: sure I'm not saying the same prayer over and over, 66 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 4: but I am saying that an intentional prayer to God. 67 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: And then I start with just silence, meaning you know, 68 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: no TV. You know, we're so quick to grab our 69 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 4: phones as soon as we wake up and scroll social media, 70 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 4: check emails. I try to have just that moment of 71 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 4: silence to myself because you're right, once you open the door, 72 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 4: it's a flood of emails, a flood of social you know, 73 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 4: everything gets started. Your day is busy all day. So 74 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 4: that morning meditation for me starts with prayer and again silence. 75 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: Right, So let's go back about you. Let's tell your 76 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: story a little bit here. 77 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: So before we get into why I brought you on 78 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: the show to provide information to my listeners and viewers 79 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: who around this world, I want to know how to 80 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: get ahead. You know, they want to understand how they 81 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: can make money. And you tied to the teaching profession, 82 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: and we know that COVID really really laid an ugly 83 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: hand on the mental psyche of the teaching industry. Now, 84 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: talk about your education, and then we're going to talk 85 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: about the COVID experience, and then moving past the COVID experience, 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: give us some background on you. 87 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I started out as an elementary teacher. I 88 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 4: taught first grade. Before that, I was a pair of 89 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 4: professional teacher assistant as I was finishing college. After teaching 90 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 4: first grade for a few years, I moved on up 91 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 4: to the College Bulble and started teaching at my alma mater, 92 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: HBCU Albany State University down in Alberny, Georgia. Our early 93 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 4: child had education is when I taught. Then I moved 94 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 4: to the Technical College, Albany Technical College. I was a 95 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 4: dean of early child education and over the general core 96 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: programs as well managed chocer centers at both in both 97 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 4: that role at Alberdy Tech and Alberty State, and that's 98 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 4: what led me to the preschool part of early care 99 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 4: and education. So the rest of my career I pretty 100 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 4: much spent teaching others how to work with young children 101 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: and build quality programs for young children. 102 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: Now, you got two degrees at Albany State and then 103 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: two degrees at the University of Georgia correct. 104 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 4: Yes, early child education, Bachelors of Masters at Albany State 105 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 4: and then at UGA. I earned a second Masters of 106 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 4: Education and adult education and my doctor's an adult education 107 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: with a focus on community college leadership. 108 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you some doctor, Bison, I was tied 109 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: with my one math degree. 110 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to get away from school so bad. It 111 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: took me seven. 112 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: Years to get that one math degree. I'm to be 113 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 3: honest with you, sound like you got by four degrees 114 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: in your seven years. Now, I was a sophomore all 115 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: the way up to my fourth four and a half year, 116 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: I was still a sophomore. 117 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: So I was just in college. 118 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: Just I don't know if I was doing the right things, 119 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: but I know I was in advancing. So what about education? 120 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: You know, were you inspired by your parents? Were you 121 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: inspired by your teachers to pursue that level of education? 122 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 4: I believe I aspired. Interestingly, I was inspired by the barriers. 123 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 4: You know, I know is that people listen to you 124 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: more based on your credential level. 125 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: That's true. 126 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 4: That's true because if people with the bachelor, masters or 127 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 4: no degree could do some of the work that I do, 128 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 4: but I could not get into those same rooms or 129 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 4: gain the same attention. So, whether I'm providing professional development 130 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 4: or speaking or keynoting for school principles, college presidents, you know, legislators, 131 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 4: whoever I'm talking to, I'm comfortable, comfortable and confident in 132 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 4: that space there and they and I gained that listening 133 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 4: ear because of those degrees, so sometimes that those papers 134 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 4: just help you get in the room. Honestly, We'll be. 135 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 6: Right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashawn McDonald. 136 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 7: HBCUs represent Black Excellence.

What are you doing 197 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: out there? Doctor Bisa? 198 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 4: I know right, I think the way I was, you know, oh. 199 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: No, no, don't don't you don't you put that on 200 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 3: no teacher, The way they dress. I don't even know 201 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: how teachers dressed now. So you just got But when 202 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: you have four degrees, that's a lot of education. So 203 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: you're gonna act a little bit different than Rashon McDonald 204 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 3: will act. I will tell you, I'm talking to doctor Bisa. 205 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: She's well right now best selling off the Experience Educational 206 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 3: Authority with four degrees, two of the HBCU and then 207 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: she went up to down Country U g E got 208 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: two more degrees. And I can tell you I'm overwhelmed 209 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 3: and by the fact that it took me seven years 210 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: to get my one degree and a minor. I'm gonna 211 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 3: throw that out there, social miner and sociology to take 212 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 3: credit for that. Got a four point zero four point 213 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: oh in sociology changed my life. 214 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: That was one of the degrees that opened my mind 215 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: to life. 216 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: Because that's why that's why I have so much respect, 217 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: because of the fact that I would not be. 218 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: Sitting here without my teachers seeing. 219 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: Value in me, doctor Beson. And I think that that's 220 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 3: where we miss it. And as far as education and 221 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 3: now you see artificial intelligence coming in, do you think 222 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: AI will supplement some of the roles that teachers are 223 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 3: playing today? 224 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 4: Oh, definitely not. And the reason I say that is 225 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 4: because you still need that those experiences in the human mind. 226 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 4: So you know a lot of people are afraid of AI. 227 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 4: I embrace it. I love artificial intelligence. I think it's amazing. 228 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: It's all about the way it's used. But what I 229 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: do think is that it forced his education to change education, 230 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 4: especially in America, it needs to be transformed. It needs 231 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 4: to be transformed. What is not just about writing papers 232 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 4: and essays and doing research and theory, but it's about 233 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 4: practice and so now, as you may have seen on 234 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: social media, a lot of videos going around where faculty 235 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 4: are saying, hey, you know, we can tell now we 236 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 4: have this tool to use to see if you use 237 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 4: AI to write your paper. Well, maybe not assign as 238 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 4: many papers these days, because it's really not about what 239 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 4: you write, it's about what you practice. So more practice 240 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 4: based performance behave in practice based and performance more than 241 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: just papers. And technical colleges have been doing that forever. 242 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 4: Now universities are forced to do the same because at 243 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 4: the end of the day, your employer wants to know 244 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 4: whether you can perform their duties and not just write 245 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 4: about them. 246 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: That's important. 247 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: I remember when I worked at IBM, and you know IBM, 248 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 3: they you know, do they hire regardless undergraduate? Did they 249 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: hire me full time and a math degree? But I 250 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 3: remember they start going to liberal art degrees. It wasn't 251 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 3: about the technical It's about how they understood the role 252 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 3: and the responsibilities of communication, because in the end, communication 253 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: is still the key, and that's what you're saying BYuT 254 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 3: Ai can't replace that communication that hands on that confusion 255 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 3: that a child will have oftentimes when they're trying to 256 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: understand the lessons that are put in front of them. 257 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 3: But the thing that I was reading, the information that 258 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: was sent to me, I want to let everybody hear 259 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 3: that's correctly. Nationwide data shows teachers pay isn't keeping up 260 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 3: with inflation declining over the last decade. 261 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: You hear me, the. 262 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 3: People that we need to move this country forward, educate 263 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: our youth, take them to middle school, then to adulthood. 264 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: Teachers are making thirty six hundred dollars less on average 265 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 3: than they did ten years ago, and justin for inflation. 266 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: You know, I guess I keep asking that question over 267 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: and over again, doctor Sobiza. Within your industry, are teachers 268 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: leaving the industry all day? 269 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 4: Yes? Okay, sorry, yes. 270 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: You jumped right on. 271 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 3: I may have had some more to say, but you 272 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 3: said we shouldn't stop all this madness. 273 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: We out. 274 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 4: They are, they are leaving, and almost half of them 275 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 4: at this point are leaving or have left the profession. 276 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 4: You know, one thing that COVID taught everyone is that 277 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 4: there's life outside of work. The more people are choosing 278 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: remote work, more people are traveling more. I think, I saw, 279 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 4: I know, I saw online that over five there were 280 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 4: over five hundred thousand applications in Georgia alone for passports 281 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 4: this year and the end of the year is not 282 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 4: even he here yet. Because people now know that life 283 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 4: again is just outside of work, so they're traveling more. 284 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: And yes, teachers are finding other things they can do. 285 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 4: They are making more money and they don't have to 286 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 4: deal with some of the misbehaviors and some of the 287 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 4: you know, the expectations coming It was two things. 288 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: You got, the kids you got to deal with, and 289 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: sometimes their parents are worse than the kids. You'll need. 290 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 3: You think the parents about to come in there and 291 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 3: defend you from a from a disciplined standpoint, they were there. 292 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: You're talking about child like that, you'll touch my child. 293 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 3: It is really and that's where the confusion comes in 294 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: because if and that's where the teachers lose respect when 295 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: the parent won't give them the right to, you know, 296 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 3: with a discipline their kid. We're not talking about physically 297 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: disciplined the kid but being able to tell your child 298 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 3: to sit down, and if you don't sit down, there's 299 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: some repercussions that come with that and the parent come there. 300 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: You can't tell my child to sit down.

What are you thinking of? What skills do 355 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 4: you have to offer? Uh?

And then the D is for dollars? 360 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 4: How much money can you make? And making sure that 361 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 4: you do know uh information about the funds so you 362 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 4: know PA I D is an acronym. And if you 363 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 4: do the PAI, if you know your prospects, allies and information, 364 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 4: the dollars will come. 365 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 3: The D will come right because it's always by multiple 366 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: strains of income. It is now a teacher can be overwhelmed, 367 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 3: you know. Can you tell me, like you said, Rushan, 368 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 3: I wake up and I meditate. I don't know if 369 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 3: you're meditating as a teacher, because you had to get 370 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 3: to school real fast and deal with these students and 371 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: then get back. And I'll be honest with you, my daughter, 372 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: I felt I was doing homework for the teacher. It 373 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 3: was so much work that was being brought home to me. 374 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out what was the teacher doing. 375 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: Now? 376 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 3: What is the role of a teacher in modern day 377 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 3: education today? 378 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 4: Yes, oh, great question. So I want to make sure 379 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 4: I say this too. Meditation can be music whatever, why 380 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: it work. Listen to music to me, that's meditation. That's 381 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 4: what I did a lot when I was heading to work, 382 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 4: or listen to a book online, so on your radio, 383 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 4: and so for me, when it comes to working in 384 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 4: your profession, it is important ra Sean, that you are 385 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 4: thinking about what your skills are right right, And you 386 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 4: asked about you know, what might your skills be teaching 387 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 4: me to think about what their quality skills are that 388 00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 4: they offer. And as an educator, it's important that we 389 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 4: know that our job is to guide learning, right, So 390 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 4: to guide learning, that is what we should do. And 391 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 4: whether you know, I know we have textbooks and you know, 392 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 4: we have websites, and we have our curriculum, and we're 393 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 4: not teaching that word for word, page by page, but 394 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 4: we're looking at we're sexing their children in our program 395 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 4: or in our classroom to see what their needs are 396 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 4: and then we are developing our plan, our lesson plan 397 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: to guide their learning. So I think that's what people need. 398 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 4: People need to understand to guide their learning. And sometimes 399 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 4: we think that, you know, we can drill information into children, No, 400 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 4: we need to make sure that we're providing experiences to 401 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 4: guide their learning, their skills and abilities. 402 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 3: You know, It's like my daughter was she graduated from college, 403 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 3: you know, she graduated honors. Were so proud of her, 404 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 3: and it was like digital media and so and then 405 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 3: she ran out there looking for a job. And then 406 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 3: but then I totally be patient. And I think that 407 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 3: in any profession, you have to realize that you have 408 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: to deal with options. And that's what you're basically talking 409 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 3: about right now. Options being able to see beyond what 410 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 3: you're doing currently for the opportunities that may be available 411 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 3: to your skill set. So she got another job, a 412 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 3: couple other jobs, and then all of a sudden, she 413 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 3: fell into the job doing RFPs RFPs and that's when 414 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 3: I said, oh okay, I said, I said, hold up now, 415 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 3: I said, I know this is not graphic, but you 416 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: you into something really unique here now, RFPs. And so 417 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 3: she really loved it, she really got into it, and 418 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 3: she became a value. People started, you know, job seeking 419 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 3: her out, you know, headhunters and stuff like that. So 420 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: basically that's what you're saying. You know, she may have 421 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 3: gotten this degree over here, graduated with honors and all 422 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 3: this good stuff, but then another opportunity came over here 423 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 3: that she's very comfortable with and she can use her 424 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 3: skills of digital media in there. But the title right 425 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 3: now is RFPs, and we know that that's a position 426 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 3: that's going to always be in high demand. 427 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, oh yes, people love those quest for proposals 428 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 4: are soy important. I was spent you know, yesterday writing 429 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 4: a grant proposal. And so people don't always have that 430 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 4: writing skill set. They don't know how to connect all 431 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 4: the dots. So you know, yes, you know, writing proposal 432 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 4: is always something that you can definitely make money doing so. 433 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 4: I love that she found her skill set. And that's 434 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 4: what the ty is about for Sean is finding your process, 435 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,239 Speaker 4: making the list of how you can, what are your 436 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 4: skills to make money doing what you do best. For me, 437 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 4: it was curriculum. What my superpower was. When I was 438 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 4: in a classroom, I could always find a creative way 439 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 4: to teach a standard or teach a skill, and I 440 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 4: provided these great innovative activities, creative activities for children in 441 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 4: all the different subject areas. And in first grade we 442 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 4: have to teach eight subjects, right, so eventually, you know, 443 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 4: later I was able to make that the skill set 444 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 4: that I used to put out there. Now that's how 445 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 4: I came out with the Wings the whole curriculum. Wings 446 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 4: curriculum is up to five year olds and it's used 447 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 4: in thirty states. But that's my superpower. I thank you. 448 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 4: I chose twelve things, one for each month and for 449 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 4: every week four weeks of the month, there is a 450 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 4: subtitle or AI study and so using those things to 451 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 4: teach standards and all the different learning domains for children. 452 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 4: Again that's my superpower. Now it's in thirty states, so 453 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 4: I know, just like your daughter. Everyone who's listening out there, 454 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 4: think about hone in what is your superpower and how 455 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 4: can you monetize it? Okay, so someone out there needs. 456 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 3: It now, doctor BIZI I see right down here you 457 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: said it. Grant writing. Now do do you hire your 458 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 3: services or do just grant writing for your projects? 459 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 4: For nonprofit? I used to do it for others, but 460 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 4: it's something that I no longer do that for others. 461 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 4: But I do it for our Black Child Development Institute 462 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 4: Atlanta as a nonprofit that I'm happy to work with, 463 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 4: and we support black children and families eight to zero 464 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 4: to eight. We mainly work with adults children who have 465 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 4: young children in their lives, showing them how to build 466 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 4: programming and support families and young children a co responsive, 467 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 4: cult irrelevant way. And so I use that same skills 468 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 4: that I mentioned when it comes to curriculum and experiences 469 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 4: activities for young children. And I'm able to replicate that 470 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 4: superpower and use it for others to learn how to 471 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 4: work with Black children and their families appropriately. 472 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: That's awesome. 473 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 3: Before I go, now going to Doctorbisa dot com, that's 474 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 3: d R Bisa dot com. There's a guide that you 475 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: are for a complimentary that one can download. What exactly 476 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 3: is that guide when they go to the website. 477 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 4: Yes, so I actually came out with a journal so 478 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 4: that when The Day Educator came out in twenty twenty, 479 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 4: January twenty twenty was the bestseller, you know, yay, thank 480 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 4: everyone who knew that COVID was coming, you know, three 481 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 4: two months later. But I launched a journal following that 482 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 4: so that people would have a roadmap and they could plan. 483 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 4: So maybe that's what they do during their meditation time 484 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 4: in the morning. They get up and they work on 485 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 4: one section of their journal because it allows you to 486 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 4: think about your prospects allies information dollars, and they think about, hey, 487 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 4: this is my skills digital media, and they have questions 488 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 4: that they have to answer to help them to develop 489 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 4: a plan which leads to monetizing their superpower. 490 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 3: Yes, the paid method is trademark.

I don't want it 517 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 3: to look like different over here. No consistent is what 518 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 3: drives the train of reality. Consistence where people gain trust 519 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 3: in if they feel you know how to replicate something. 520 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 3: And I think that's part of your mentorship that you're 521 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: talking about, is that you're talking about sitting down with 522 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 3: individuals who are talented, but offering advice and also teaching 523 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 3: them the value of consistency means that they can be 524 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 3: profit tied to that consistency. 525 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 4: Correct, definitely, yes, And that's how people you get referred. 526 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 4: I don't care how much you are on how much 527 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 4: marketing you have or that you pay for people. That 528 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 4: word amount that's the best reference because people want to 529 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 4: know who has worked with you, and you can get 530 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 4: all of your business and you can have a full 531 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 4: time income on just referrals if you work with integrity, 532 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 4: honesty and trust. 533 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 3: Okay, cool, I want to say this before I go 534 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 3: doctor Beeson because of the fact that you know, you 535 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 3: come on my show, you and you offer information to 536 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 3: a profession that doesn't get respected, that's underpaid. And it's 537 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: very important that on this show is that this is 538 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 3: about uplift. This is about motivation. First of all, telling 539 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 3: that sty doing the military and thank you for your service. 540 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 3: We should in some ways say the same thing for 541 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 3: teachers who are educating our children because of the fact 542 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: that they're taking a blank slate, a blank slate, and 543 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: nowadays it's incredible because the violence that's out there, not 544 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 3: only just to go to school, you have to go 545 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 3: into school with the metal detectors are put in place. 546 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 3: It's just such a different system that's in place nowadays. 547 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 3: It's ridiculous, and the rules are changing. So as you 548 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 3: project the teaching system, because you said Richell and I'm 549 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 3: still in the game of teaching, where do you see 550 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 3: education going. 551 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 4: I definitely see more of technology being used, but again 552 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 4: I don't see it being a replacement. I see more 553 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 4: technology being used because during COVID it was almost as 554 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 4: it was the first time that a lot of people 555 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 4: utilize certain technology. Zoom was already out there. I was 556 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 4: already using Zoom before COVID, but people discovered what they 557 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 4: didn't know before. So now that they're aware of it, 558 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 4: there will definitely be more use of technology. And then 559 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 4: if you make learning more interesting, a lot of the 560 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 4: safety issues, behavior issues that we have and those that 561 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 4: you just mentioned, we don't have to worry about those 562 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 4: so much because children students are enjoying education a lot 563 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 4: more when it's more remote, and it's just writing this 564 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 4: and writing that in this paper and that paper. They 565 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 4: hate to go to school math class. But if you 566 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 4: make it more fun, relatable to real life, then they're 567 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 4: more excited about it. So if you're using AI for that, 568 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 4: ask AI, you know, chat, GPT or whichever one you 569 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 4: want to use on beings. 570 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: So you're not running from AI. You're you're you're, you're. 571 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 3: You're funding stop it, stop it no. But you know, Okay, 572 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 3: first of all, you know we already fight them. Let 573 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 3: let's talk from a minorities perspective. Okay, you know, minorities 574 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 3: or just say blacks or people of color because they 575 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 3: are not women. White women are now considering minorities. So 576 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 3: when I say that term, I have to kind of 577 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: like put a disclaimer on that. You know, Blacks, you know, 578 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 3: we generally all the law paid, were generally all the 579 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 3: last hired or the first released. You know, we don't 580 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 3: have the tech training that we want to compete. And 581 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 3: so so when I say that, I see myself, I 582 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 3: see these robotses going down these assembly lines. 583 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: I have to consider that AI. 584 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 3: Then that's replacing people who who got these well paid jobs. 585 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: Physically, you don't. 586 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 3: You don't see how do we how, as a community 587 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 3: that's always underserved from an economic and job employment opportunities, 588 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: how do we how do we overcome the AI imbalance 589 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 3: that's coming our way. 590 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 4: I love that you asked me that question. I just 591 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 4: had my fam one of my family unions a couple 592 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 4: of weekends ago, and you know, coming from a family 593 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 4: that's you know, deep into the word, uh, some of 594 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 4: my cousins were like afraid of AI and they thought 595 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 4: it was a double and all of that. And I 596 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 4: explained to them, I said, that's how we're We're we're oppressed. 597 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 4: Were we allow ourselves to be oppressed because you're worried 598 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 4: about something thinking it's the devil. And one of my 599 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 4: cousins is a football coach, and I explained to him, 600 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 4: I said, you're afraid of AI. You think it's the devil, 601 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 4: so you're not using it. But that competitor that you 602 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 4: had the other culch over at that other school, he's 603 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 4: using AI because he's not oppressed. He has to come 604 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 4: from an oppression's history. And not only he's used to 605 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 4: design plays because AI would be left for you and plays. 606 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 4: And now he's a super coach right, you're going against 607 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 4: a super coach with your old school plays, but he 608 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 4: has used AI to help him to determine some new strategies. 609 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 4: You keep wondering why you losing while they're winning. We're 610 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 4: always steps behind because at first we are afraid of 611 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 4: the new technology or anything that new that comes out. 612 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 4: Stop being afraid, stop being oppressed, and make sure that 613 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 4: whatever comes out you figure out how you can use it. 614 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 4: It's all about how you use it in an appropriate 615 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 4: way and that you're you practice integrity when you're using it. 616 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 4: That's what's most important. 617 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 1: A Doctor Doctor Visa hold on is the line I'm 618 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: gonna gold to break.

Because I think a lot 621 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 3: of people confuse AI will everyday life because they're dealing 622 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 3: with it now and they have a sense of not 623 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 3: believing they're living. 624 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: They are not living in the world of AI.

It's a nationally recognized trial lawyer. He 633 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 3: recently led to George Floyd's family legal team. Attorney Benjamin 634 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 3: Crump once told me that anyone should sit in the 635 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 3: courtroom during a trial, and you will clearly see there 636 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 3: are two systems of justice. 637 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 5: Just because they say it's legal, that doesn't mean it's right. 638 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 5: Everything Hitler did to the Jews in Germany was legal, 639 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 5: but that didn't make it right. Slavery was legal, but 640 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 5: that didn't make it right. And they tried to tell 641 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 5: us where they did. The trade by Martin and Breanna 642 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 5: Taylor and Eric Gardner and so many others was legal. 643 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 5: But I've on my bullet poor pit every chance I 644 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 5: get to remind America, no matter what you say is legal, 645 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 5: that doesn't make it right. 646 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: If you want to hear this full interview with attorney 647 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 3: Benjamin Crump, visit Moneymaking Conversation dot com. 648 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 6: Now let's return to Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashaan McDonald. 649 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: Before I go, I wanted to ask one question of explanation, 650 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 3: because a lot of people, you know, when they see AI, 651 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 3: they thinking about actors, They thinking about roy, thinking about 652 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 3: images that they look like them. They are doing their work, 653 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 3: but AI, you know, like like since it's when my car, 654 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 3: like sometimes when a car comes along next to it, 655 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 3: it'll a beep, or sometimes if I don't break fast enough, 656 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 3: it'll break for me. Or you know, like I said, 657 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 3: when you're doing basically GPS, that's AI. You know, whcause 658 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 3: it's redirecting you. If you have a traffic jam, that's AI. 659 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 3: So a lot of people are living the AI world, 660 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 3: but don't understand how they become so comfortable. They just 661 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 3: think that's AI is something some robotic world out there 662 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 3: or some artificial intelligence world of somebody coming in the 663 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 3: room looking exactly like them doing their work. 664 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: Am I right in assuming that's where the confusion is 665 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: coming from. 666 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 4: Yet, yes, and the other confusion. People always assume something 667 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 4: is new, you know, seana if the general public has 668 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 4: access to it.
