We are an. 31 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 6: Organizational development consultancy. So essentially what that means is we 32 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 6: work with large companies on people solutions, upskilling their talent, 33 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 6: on leadership skills, offering executive coaching services, and also building 34 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 6: programs that foster community. One of those programs includes the 35 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 6: Growth Google Digital Coaches program, which we've been working on 36 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 6: since twenty seventeen, So really making sure that we're thinking 37 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 6: about resources that communities need to upskill themselves and to 38 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 6: develop themselves as leaders. 39 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 40 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: Google's not going anywhere, right, No, And it's definitely like 41 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: who doesn't use Google every single day? 42 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 5: You know? 43 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: So, and I had no idea how many different ways 44 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 3: you can use it, especially with AI. So first of all, 45 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: tell us how you have used AI in your own business. 46 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 5: Absolutely well. 47 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 6: One of the big things that we've been focusing on 48 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 6: for the near term is doing a better job at 49 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 6: submitting for RFPs. And I don't know if you've ever 50 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 6: looked at a government RFP, but they are. 51 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 5: Like ninety pages long. 52 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so it'd be like, I don't, I can't. 53 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 4: Most people don't do them exactly. 54 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 5: They're so specific. 55 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 6: And that's also a great opportunity for more small businesses 56 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 6: to be thinking about because as industries experienced a lot 57 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 6: of change, government tends to be a little bit slower. 58 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 6: But in any case, the RFPs are really long, and 59 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 6: I could pop my RFP into Gemini and ask it 60 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 6: give me my deliverables that I have to do to 61 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 6: answer this, RFP also tell me the timeline important dates 62 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 6: I need to know because RFPs also have dates like 63 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 6: when to submit for questions, when you have to propose, 64 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 6: even down to the hour of day, and so it 65 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 6: goes through all that information for you. 66 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 5: So that's one of the ways. 67 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 4: The other way it cuts down days. 68 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: Of work days of work, and also make sure that 69 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: you meet those deadlines. 70 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, absolutely, And then make sure that my talent, 71 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 6: my quality employees who have a great array of skills, 72 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 6: they're not spending their time reading ninety pages. 73 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 5: Right, that's like a whole day of work. 74 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, so now I can repurpose that time back and 75 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 6: have them do something else. And then one other thing 76 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 6: I will call out that's been really helpful is notebook LM, 77 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 6: which is another tool where you can actually put in 78 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 6: a web address and have it scan a website and 79 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 6: tell you what it finds. And we did this. We 80 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 6: put our website in there and asked it to come 81 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 6: up going through our website looking at what would the 82 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 6: commonly asked questions be for our website, and it populated 83 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 6: a list, and now, without having to us much thought power, 84 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 6: we're adding frequently asked questions to our website to answer 85 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 6: some of those questions for our customers. 86 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: Wow, exact too, and I were talking AI is here. 87 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: Eighty percent of small businesses are using it, and especially 88 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: when I hear you describe how you're using it, it's 89 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: almost hurts your bottom line not to absolutely. 90 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, the businesses who aren't using it are putting themselves 91 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 6: at a disadvantage really because it's here, and as you 92 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 6: call out, businesses are already using it. Those businesses that 93 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 6: are using it are saying it's helping them increase productivity, 94 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 6: they're gaining more sales, and also they're reducing cost. 95 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 4: Right. 96 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 6: So when you look at that and you're just getting 97 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 6: started and you're not leveraging some of these things, it's 98 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 6: like you're actually it's not even that you're behind. It's 99 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 6: like you're taking steps backwards and not using AI. 100 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: Some people are really scared of it, right, and some 101 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: people are also nervous, like, well, it's this going to 102 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: take my job? Does this mean that people are going 103 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: to lose in the workplace and pretty soon they won't 104 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: need us? What would you say for people who are 105 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 2: scared of using AI. 106 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 5: Well, a couple of thoughts. 107 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 6: The first would be you have to continue to upscoe 108 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 6: yourself throughout your career. That's one of the things my 109 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 6: company helps people do, and so you want to make 110 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 6: sure you're tapping into trainings to keep leveling. 111 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 5: Up your skills. But the other piece of it is 112 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 5: AI is. 113 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 6: Really your companion. That's how we should be looking at it. 114 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 6: It's not creating or replacing your critical thinking or your 115 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 6: unique perspective. But what it is doing is cutting down 116 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 6: on some of that time it would take and for 117 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 6: those really administrative or sometimes repetitive tasks. And so I 118 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 6: would actually be encouraged and not discourage my AI. 119 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: It'll help you a lot, Yeah, because. 120 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 6: It's like it can actually make me better at my 121 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 6: job because now I have more time to showcase. 122 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: My experts and if you don't know how to use it, 123 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: you probably won't have a job at some point in 124 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: the future because that's a skill that I think everybody 125 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: is going to expect their talent to be able to do. 126 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, people hear about it, though I know someone who would. 127 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: I used to be a technophobe, but hear about new 128 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: technology and be like, oh, I have to get trained 129 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: in this. It's not that at all. Chat GPT has 130 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: become like my best friend. You ask it anything and 131 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 3: it's giving you research information, proposals that would take me 132 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 3: days to write. It's writing in a couple of minutes. 133 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: The key is asking the right questions. That's being trained 134 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: in AI. Talk about how important that is. 135 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely So. 136 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 6: We actually have a workshop that's free on demand online 137 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,119 Speaker 6: that's available for anyone g dot co Slash Girls, Slash 138 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 6: AI for SMB's completely free, and that workshop is all 139 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 6: about the quality of a good prompt. I always say, 140 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 6: if you want a good answer, you really have to 141 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 6: ask a good question. And so when we're leveraging prompts, 142 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 6: we need to be thinking about who's the audience of 143 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 6: whatever the end deliverable is, what is the format I 144 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 6: want that deliverable end. Do I want bullets? Do I 145 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 6: want it in a summary or social media post? What's 146 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 6: the tone? So I'll adapt a persona I am a 147 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 6: middle career social media manager, or I am the CEO 148 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 6: of an executive a big corporation for example, right, and 149 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 6: add those things in there and give it some context 150 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 6: and of course to ask what do you want it 151 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 6: to do? 152 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 5: And those help create that good quality prompt. 153 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 4: It's crazy. 154 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: I do financial wellness for corporations and I asked chat 155 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: GPT what would be a good outline for Stacy Tissdale 156 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: to do a financial wellness program for this company for 157 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: this maney employees. And it was like in seconds the 158 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: full outline.

But when I was on in the Google 203 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: app and then it has Gemini on top, and then 204 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: it says it now has you can get the app. 205 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 6: That has to be I haven't even let me upload 206 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 6: update my phone. 207 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 5: That's incredible. 208 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 6: And see what you just did, though, is when you 209 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 6: talk about being a technophobe, that's what we should be doing, 210 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 6: is when we hear about things exactly immediately diving into it, 211 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 6: playing with it, trying it. You're not gonna lose when 212 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 6: you do that, You're only going to gain. So I 213 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 6: love that you already down. 214 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: And Angelina also has so I was actually on a 215 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: work trip and she sent me because I was like, look, 216 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out like how to get better 217 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: at AI because I don't want to be the person 218 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: that's like, oh you know, I'm scared of this. 219 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. I do things the old fashioned way, 220 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: I want to make. 221 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: Sure that I'm always up in my skills as well. 222 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: And so she actually sent me her course on YouTube 223 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: that I was watching, and while I was on this trip, 224 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: other people were asking me about it and I was like, Angelina, 225 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: is it okay if I share your information? Because everybody 226 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 2: right now is trying to figure out how can we 227 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: make this something that is attainable for people, because sometimes 228 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: it can be intimidating. Like you said, people felt like, ooh, 229 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 2: I don't want to, you know, try something new, and 230 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: we've heard so many I think negative things about AI 231 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 2: too verrier. Yeah, but the truth is that if you 232 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 2: don't know how to do it, you are going to 233 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: get left behind. 234 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 6: You are and you know the key The scary pieces 235 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 6: come from people not being responsible in their uses. But 236 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 6: when you're responsible and your use you talked about not 237 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 6: copying and pasting right, so for example, and you want 238 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 6: to add your own tone and your own voice to 239 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 6: it because it's going to make it really truly reflect 240 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 6: what you. 241 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 5: Want to say. 242 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 6: But I even think just the fact checking before you 243 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 6: send things out, or if you are going to be 244 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 6: using AI for certain things, maybe let people know if 245 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 6: it's going to have an impact on them. That makes 246 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 6: a huge difference. But ultimately it's here, it's our companion. 247 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 6: I use it for pretty much everything.

I don't have time for this, 371 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 6: like I'm gonna have to yep, So that you said, right, 372 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 6: like there's. 373 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 5: A learning curve. I'm gonna have to learn how to 374 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 5: do this. 375 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 6: Who has the time to learn something new? But again 376 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 6: to that point, more and more I started to hear 377 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 6: about like out or see real life examples like how 378 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 6: you went from never creating social content so you have 379 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 6: calendars ready full of posts, or people putting more and 380 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 6: more blogs on their sites because they're leveraging AI to 381 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 6: help them produce more content. And so as I was 382 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 6: hearing more and more from other business owners, I was like, 383 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 6: I need to just engage with it. And then the 384 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 6: thing that was crazy is I didn't realize that AI 385 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 6: has already just been a part of things that we 386 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 6: already do, so it's not this big thing. 387 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 5: For example, when you're. 388 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 6: Watching YouTube yeah or yeah, any streaming. When you're watching 389 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 6: these things, it is serving you up recommendations based on 390 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 6: your past viewing history and that. 391 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's why sometimes you look at somebody else's 392 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 2: account and you're like, what the hell a day watching right? 393 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 5: Messing up my recommendation. 394 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: But yeah, it is something that you use whether or 395 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 2: not you're aware of it, and so you might as 396 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: well figure out how can you use it to the 397 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 2: greatest advantage possible. Even coming up with logos, you know, 398 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 2: business plans, putting together a deck, all of those things 399 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 2: that take so much time. 400 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: This can really help you with that. 401 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: I know people who are not good at writing emails, 402 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: so they say, and you know, I hate when somebody 403 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 2: sends an email out and things are like spelled wrong 404 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: or improper grammar. It can help you, you know, fix 405 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: that up so that at least you have the base 406 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: of what it is that you want to say. And 407 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 2: now a lot of times it'll finish your sentence for 408 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: you too. 409 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 6: I even ask to check my tone. So I remember 410 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 6: I was writing. 411 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 5: I was writing an email to someone and. 412 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 6: You know how things can be misread, and I was like, 413 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 6: I'm wondering if this. 414 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 5: Is sounding passive aggressive. 415 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 6: So I popped the email into Gemini and I'm like, 416 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 6: how is the tone on this? 417 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 5: Is it passive aggressive? 418 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 6: And it says it gave me exact language that I 419 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 6: could change. 420 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: Wow, to shift the tone a little passive aggressive? 421 00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 5: It was? 422 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 6: It was so I had to change a couple of 423 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 6: things around and be a little more direct, so you know, 424 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 6: better relationships. 425 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 5: See, Gemini can give you better relationships. 426 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: So Gemini the sign is a little crazy, but Gemini 427 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: to focus on the nuts and personally. I want to 428 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: talk about art because now I said that you did 429 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: something at your home with art in your house, and 430 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: then obviously I went to the art show that you 431 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 2: helped to curate the other day. So can you talk 432 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 2: to us about your in this art world, what it 433 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 2: is that you're you're doing. 434 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, I would just say what I'm doing is the 435 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 6: same thing that I'm doing with technology and everything else. 436 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 6: I'm taking spaces that have felt really uncomfortable for me, 437 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 6: and also because of just my personality and my mission 438 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 6: and life, I'm bringing community along with me and trying 439 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 6: to drive more comfort in these spaces. So I have 440 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 6: always engaged with art in some capacity or been interested 441 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 6: in it. My mom was the educator, taking us to 442 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 6: museums on trips. And then as I got older and 443 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 6: started thinking about how to decorate my apartment, and I 444 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 6: knew that I was beyond cutting out the I used 445 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 6: to have the Jacob Lawrence calendars and cut out the 446 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 6: photos and put them in frames. I was like, you 447 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 6: can't really do that anymore. How are you going to engage? 448 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 6: I said, let me take this seriously, and I joined 449 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 6: Black Arts Counsel at MoMA, founding member of Studio Museum 450 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 6: of Harlem and started just engaging meeting artists. And then 451 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 6: there are some amazing groups that exist, like Art Noir 452 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 6: that's who hosted the event in my home, that really 453 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 6: focus on making art less scary for us because a 454 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 6: lot of times we go into galleries, we historically haven't 455 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 6: had a lot of the resources to buy art. And 456 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 6: it is about listen. You can walk into a space 457 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 6: and learn when you're ready. At least you're building up 458 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 6: the knowledge that you need to engage in art, and 459 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 6: in the meantime, you should feel included in these spaces. 460 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 6: And this is really I don't want to get too 461 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 6: crazy ahead, but what I'm also learning is that there's 462 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 6: also an you know, you're building your financial portfolio if 463 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 6: you do diversify, if. 464 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 5: You're engaging in art the right way. 465 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 6: So that's the advanced place, but I think the starting 466 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 6: place is how do we get. 467 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 5: More of us in spaces? 468 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 6: And that makes a difference, right when the Met Museum 469 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 6: sees that everyone is going to the Ancient Egypt the 470 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 6: new exhibit that just came out, They're like, wow, people 471 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 6: do respond to more black art in our museum. Maybe 472 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 6: that should do this more right. So it's like us 473 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 6: engaging has an impact. 474 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we've tried to bring a lot of attention 475 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: to that art. Was one of the first alternative investments 476 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 3: that allowed micro investing. Also, that's the same thing that 477 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 3: brought a lot of people of color into the stock market, 478 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 3: all those micro apps. I think we had master works 479 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 3: up here. There's really ways to engage with it. But awesome, 480 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 3: Great on you as always for bringing the community and 481 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: community into those spaces and arming them. 482 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought that was fascinating. And I want 483 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 2: to make sure again I took the course. I don't play, 484 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: and I'm always about educating myself, So I want to 485 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: make sure that people again take this absolutely free course, 486 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 2: because why wouldn't you this year play. 487 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 6: It in the background while you're, you know, washing your dishes. 488 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 6: It's very quick, it's very efficient, and I would say 489 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 6: most importantly impactful, and you'll walk away with a new 490 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 6: knowledge of how to do something. You're using Google anyway, right, 491 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 6: like everyone is, so at least figure out now how 492 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 6: to adapt to that next stage, which is those AI 493 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 6: tools that are embedded. 494 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 4: One another angle. I want you to talk about this. 495 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 3: Black businesses, we always know the trouble that we have 496 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 3: access to capital that might even be changing and get harder. 497 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 3: People don't make that link between AI and your bottom 498 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: line and the whole access to capital situation. 499 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, when I was starting a business, and now almost 500 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 6: ten years ago is still crazy to me. But when 501 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 6: I was starting a business, the biggest thing was. 502 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 5: I didn't have enough resources. 503 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 6: I needed help, I needed more time, I needed. 504 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 5: More people around it. 505 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 6: You have to pay people, right, And so when we 506 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 6: think about AI, what AI can do is some of 507 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 6: those tats. Like you talked about creating a business plan. 508 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 6: People pay people to make business. 509 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 5: Plans, and now you need them a lot of money. 510 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 2: And I applied for grants and apply. 511 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: For a grant that can be very time consuming too. 512 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 6: All of that is very time consuming, and so leveraging 513 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 6: AI is kind of affecting your bottle online by giving 514 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 6: you money back right that you would have had to 515 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 6: spend in other places. 516 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 5: And so that's one big piece of it. 517 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 6: And then to the point of as we think about 518 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 6: our community in particular, we have been last at. 519 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 5: The table and a lot of spaces. 520 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 6: And I always think, every time something new comes out, 521 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 6: this is our opportunity to jump to the front, right 522 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 6: and really create something new, really figure out how to 523 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 6: build with it. If I leverage AI, Like let's say 524 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 6: I'm a local hair salon and I'm leveraging AI to 525 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 6: take care of my pos or do financial help me 526 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 6: with financial planning in some way.
