Thank 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: you so much. 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: It's probably been about almost two years since I interviewed 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: your last time. Yes, yeah, and you impressed me so much. 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: I heard an interview on series XM like one one, 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: and I tracked you down and I was able to 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: get you on your show. So in that period, tell 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: us what's been going on with your career and how 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: much has AI changed since I interviewed you almost two 27 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: years ago. 28 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 2: Their AI has changed so much. There's so many new tools, 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: and then as business owners were using new strategies and 30 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 2: using AI differently and really leaning into it even more. 31 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: For me, I used to do summits every year, you know, 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, But 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five I started doing it every single 34 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: month because people wanted to know, like they couldn't wait 35 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: a year anymore. They needed every month and then, so 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: that's the biggest thing that changed for me is that 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: I started doing a lot more training and teaching. I 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: was already doing a lot of speaking and speaking at 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: events and corporations and that sort of thing, but I've 40 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: really gone all in and teaching the entrepreneur and the 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: small business owner and especially women how we can really 42 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: leverage artificial Alicia. 43 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: This was the show is my small business owners, nonprofits, entrepreneurs. 44 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: When you say training and AI, what exactly you talking about? 45 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: Sure, I show them how to use AI. So I 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 2: don't just talk about it like this is what artificial 47 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: intelligence is. Now, I'm like, open your laptops, open up chat, GBT, 48 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: and let me demonstrate to you how you can use it. 49 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: And then I want you to use the same prompt 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: I use. See what results that you've just got. So 51 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: what I like to do when I say training, it's 52 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: let's do some interactive hands on exercises together so that 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: you understand how to use AI, because I believe that 54 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: if I can show you how to do it, you 55 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: see me do it and you're like, oh, she can 56 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: do it, and you're like, wow, I can do that too, 57 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: and then I'm like, go ahead, do it, try it, 58 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: and then you try it and you like I did it. 59 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: Now people are more able to say, after I learned 60 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: from her, I can keep going, And that's what I 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: want them to do. 62 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: Unslowed this down a little bit for me, you know, 63 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: because my staff uses AI for editing, marketing, social media plans, 64 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: and in general rewriting. We download our shows. Now we 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: go to AI and use it to write our summaries 66 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: descriptions much more professional. It's turned my company and created 67 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: a much more professional output format. Now, when you said 68 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: did learning you show them? What are you showing them 69 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: that's helping them? Because that's the mental block for me, 70 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: is like when I hear professionals like you who know 71 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: it so well, but help a dummy like me. 72 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: First of all. So what I like to do is 73 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: I'll say, let's use this episode an example. So you 74 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: take the YouTube link of this episode and I'll say, okay, everybody, 75 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: open up notebook LM. It's a Google tool notebook LM 76 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: dot Google dot com. And then when you're on notebook ALM, 77 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: click on create notebook, click on that plus sign and 78 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: then that opens up and you see where that YouTube 79 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: button is. Click on that and paste the link to 80 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: this episode in there. So they follow that, they paste 81 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: the link in and then they see that, oh, now 82 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 2: I have a summary of the episode. And then you 83 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: can tell notebook LM create show notes from this, and 84 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: it will create the show notes. And then you say, 85 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: write seven emails to send out to my list to 86 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: tell them to watch this and why a series of 87 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: seven And then if you go on the far right 88 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 2: hand side, which is called studio. There's three six, maybe 89 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: nine buttons over there. Click every button. It's like, it'll 90 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: create a mind map for you. It'll create an audio 91 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: overview of the show for you. It will create a 92 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: PowerPoint presentation, it will create a video overview, it will 93 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: create flash cards, a quiz, a study guide. So you 94 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: click on all of that and you see what can 95 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 2: be created, and you're like, wow, you could take this 96 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: one episode and repurpose it into all these different these 97 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 2: content ways. So people learn differently. Some people might want 98 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: an audio from it, some people might want a summary 99 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: in a video format or a quiz, and you'll get 100 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 2: all of that in nopok LM. So I just tell 101 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: people step by step, here's the example. Like I said, 102 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 2: here the you know, put the url of this episode, 103 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: follow it all the way through, see what's created, and 104 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: now do it for whatever you need in your use 105 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: case to do it. Now that I've showed you one 106 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: way to do it, run and test different. I tell 107 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: you about the air. 108 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: Tell you was talking. It was like wow, because you 109 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: hear so many Let me reference everybody. I'm speaking of 110 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: Elasi a little She's the CEO and co found of 111 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: AI Innovations. She is known as the Queen of AI. 112 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: Before I go to for you to extend that question, 113 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: how did you you seem to be? You saw it 114 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: coming and you jumped in this lane? Wow. 115 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. So back in twenty seventeen, I spoke at a 116 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: Walmart event. It was called Walmart Tech Live. It's an 117 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: internal Walmart event only for their employees. And the speaker 118 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: before me, he was fifteen years old at the time, 119 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: tanmy Boshki is his name, and he talked about IBM Watson, 120 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: which is an AI tool that IBM had fifteen. So 121 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: I was paying attention, first of all, because I was 122 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: not on stage at an event like that at fifteen, 123 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: So I was celebrating him and like paying attention to 124 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 2: every word. I need to pay attention to what this 125 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 2: fifteen year old is saying. And so when I learned 126 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: about IBM Watson that day, and I learned that a 127 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: computer program had beaten the nation's best jeopardy champions in 128 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: a game of Jeopardy. And I saw this computer acting 129 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: as if it was a human. I said, oh no, 130 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 2: come on, now, what is this about? And I really 131 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: started to get interested in AI, especially its ability to 132 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 2: do things that I only thought was possible for a 133 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: human to do. I don't think a computer could play 134 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: a game of Jeopardy against two humans, right. 135 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: With logic, right to pool and direct. 136 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: Answer the questions the right way, and that sort of thing. 137 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 2: So I became really interested, and then shortly I couldn't 138 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 2: use IBM Watson, and then it was too complicated for me. 139 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 2: I don't have a tech background, right, so I come 140 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 2: from the digital marketing space, but my background is environmental 141 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: science and geology, and so far away from where I 142 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: am now. 143 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on now environ tho science, the geology, 144 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, which means that it's a complex logical world 145 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: that you were in. You know, well you use word sciences. 146 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: Logic is tied to that. But as you build your brand, 147 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: you start opening these different layers. What were your peer 148 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: groups saying to you, all your industry people saying to you, 149 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: because they. 150 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: Were not in this lane, right, I mean my business partners, 151 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: my sister, and my team, they were very concerned when 152 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty two I said we're closing this 153 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: business completely, pivoting and going all into AI training and 154 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: consulting and they were like, what are we talking about here. 155 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to work with AI right now, so why 156 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: would you do that? But I said that in the future, 157 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: in the near future, it's going to be the most 158 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: highest in demand thing, and corporations and businesses are going 159 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: to need to know how to integrate AI. So we 160 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: need to be the ones to say, hey, we can 161 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: show you, we can teach you because we know how 162 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: to use AI. And then we started. This was back 163 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, as soon as chatchipt came out. 164 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: I'd been using tools before that called Jasper and writer, 165 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: but when Chatchept came out, it changed the game. Because 166 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: of accessibility. There was a free, free version, it was 167 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: available for everyone. Everyone could use it, and then the 168 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 2: rate that people started using it, it started to get 169 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: international attention. Every new station started talking about it. So 170 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: now I felt like, Okay, people are not only going 171 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: to want to use this tool, but the other AI 172 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: tools that are out there are going to start to compete, 173 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 2: and we're going to be in an AI race war 174 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 2: where all these tools will start competing. But then who's 175 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: going to be training all of these businesses on how 176 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: to use these tools? 177 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: We always hear that the African American community is at 178 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: the end of our line, especially in tech space. Now 179 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking to an African American woman. Yeah, who Phil, 180 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: I believe is at the front of the line. How 181 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: do you feel about that? 182 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? Thank you? First of all, thank you. And my 183 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: mission really is to make sure that not only does 184 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: our community not get left behind, but that we're ahead 185 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: of the curve right now. So I'm speaking as much 186 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: as I can at every event where black entrepreneurs are 187 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: and black business owners saying hey, pay attention and go 188 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: all in on this because it will be a game 189 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: changer for you. Never has there been a better time 190 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 2: in history. I've been an entrepreneur for twenty six years. 191 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: Since my twenty six year never have I seen a 192 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: better time for people to start, build or scale a 193 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: business than right now. Because if you remember back in 194 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: the day, to build a website, it takes a lot 195 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: of work to build a website. 196 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: They charge a lot of money. 197 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: And a lot of money. Now I could build a 198 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: website right here in front of you and be done 199 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: in three minutes and it would just take me typing in. 200 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: Just look at it as it does. All my website 201 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: I'll be done in three days. Can you talk about 202 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: three minutes? 203 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: And three days is still really fast when building with 204 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: traditional like that's pretty fast. But usually we have you know, 205 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: a usual website agency is going to tell you they 206 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: need a month or two to build your website. But 207 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: today we can build websites at the speed of typing 208 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 2: in our request to a tool. I use a tool 209 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 2: called Lovable Lovable dot dev to create my websites and 210 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: my software tools. 211 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: Now you know, first of all, I'm in enjoin this interview. 212 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: In some ways, I'm kind of in all of you 213 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: because you're just talking so casual about all these tech 214 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: lanes that we should all be using. And then but 215 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: how do we use them? How do we get in 216 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: touch with you? At lastia? 217 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: Sure, so I do a summit, a free summit every month. 218 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: It's the AI Business Summit, So I would invite everybody 219 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: to join that. So the last summit, on day one 220 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: when I started off, we had twenty one thousand people watching, 221 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: twenty one thousand people watching live on the summit. They 222 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: get bigger and bigger. 223 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: You need to stop. I'm like, oh, twenty one no, 224 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: twenty one thousand people listening to. 225 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: You Live Are You Live? And we had a lot 226 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: of people coming in and out on that day, but it. 227 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: Was a lot hundred lead hundred may come in. 228 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: That's incredible and it's completely free. And by doing that, 229 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: I really feel like we can empower and teach and 230 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: lead the way when it comes to teaching our families 231 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: and our communities. So I tell people be on your computer, 232 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 2: so they're on their computer and then they watch me 233 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: do something, and then I have them do it, and 234 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 2: then we're off to the races. So we always start 235 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 2: off with something fun. Like one session, everybody turned themselves 236 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: into a superhero, so graphic design for thumbnails to get 237 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 2: attention and this sort of stuff. The last one they 238 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: turn themselves into a plushy and put their brand name 239 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: on it and then they had their plushy dance on stage. 240 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: You know. So we do we do fun things to 241 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: get people to say, oh, this is cool. I see 242 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: how I can use it my business. And then we're like, 243 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: let's write emails, let's write sales copies, let's build web pages, 244 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: let's build a software to them.

It has to take experience, It's 259 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: take credibility. What are do they all start? Because number 260 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: when you told your staff AI is coming, they looked 261 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: at you and going, we need to talk time. 262 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 2: So yeah. Now it's about scaling the business that we 263 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 2: have and it's about doing as much self promotion as possible. 264 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: So when I talk to business owners and entrepreneurs and 265 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: say you want a bigger audience, you've got to talk more, 266 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 2: You've got to show up more. I'm always showing up 267 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: at summit sessions, radios, interviews and talking about my passion. 268 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: And the more that I do that, the more people 269 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: that I can attract my summits and I talk about 270 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: my mission all the time. It's to help demystify, demystify 271 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: artificial intelligence and help people cash in on the AI revolution. 272 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: That's it. You want to cash in on the AI revolution, 273 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: you need to learn some AI, come to my summit, 274 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 2: and then I'm easy to reach on all social media platforms. 275 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: But since the last time we were we did the interview, 276 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 2: I my social media has grown by probably one hundred 277 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: thousand on Instagram, yeah, fifty thousand on YouTube. So but 278 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: it takes dedication, commitment, and no matter how much AI 279 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: I use, it still work. It still works. So it's 280 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 2: that as entrepreneurs and business owners, we have to say 281 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: the amount of effort that I put into my business 282 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: is a direct result. I see the results on my 283 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: bottom line. 284 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: So let's talk about it. Alicia, you know, I'm an entrepreneur. 285 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: I'm confused. I hear by AI, I hear AI. There 286 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: are formats out there, you said, chat, GPT, Yeah, I 287 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: think I used copilt a lot because it's tied to 288 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: my Microsoft platform. I hear Gemini is themoll? 289 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: It is? 290 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: How does one make a decision on which one of 291 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: these platform? And I'm sure I'm leaving something out? Sure, yeah, 292 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: how do you make recommendations? Or you allowed the client 293 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: to make the recommendation and you because you're going to 294 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: look like you're pushing somebody somewhere because you getting the 295 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: side payment or whatever. How does that work? So? 296 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: I usually the tools that I folk on, I usually 297 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: look and say, is this has this tool been around 298 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: for a while, what are the chances that it will 299 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: be around for a longer time? What are the investments 300 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: looking like into this tool? Who's running the tool? So 301 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: that gives me some sense of longevity of the tool, safety, 302 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: you know, on the tool. So for example, I love 303 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: a tool called Hagen which I use for video cloning. 304 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: They used to be called Movio back in twenty twenty 305 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: three when I first demoed them, and they've constantly improved, 306 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: like constantly improved. So if you're using a tool and 307 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: you constantly see the improvements that they're making, you know, 308 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: all right, this is someplace that I can invest my 309 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: time into learning this tool and using it for my business. 310 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: But over the years, I've just formed my toolbox. But 311 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: I have tested hundreds, if not thousands of tools AI tools, 312 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: testing them all the time and seeing can you knock 313 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: out my number one? You know, I'm always looking for 314 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 2: what's better, and especially what the new and upcoming tools 315 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: can do. But there are some core tools CHATCHYBT, I 316 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: love you mentioned co Pilot great for companies that have 317 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: Microsoft three sixty five already. Is not my favorite tool, 318 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: but it's great, especially the integration of it. There's Google Gemini, 319 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: which Google came out like and open their doors and 320 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: they're like, we're here and weren't taking over here? They 321 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: did so good, so they have They have amazing tools 322 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: Notebook LM that I was telling you about as a 323 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: Google tool, and they have Nano Banana that creates great graphics, 324 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: and they have vo three which creates great video.

It's a 327 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: fantastic research tool. 328 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,119 Speaker 1: So it sounds like you're just giving away information. 329 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: How are you making money? Well? I also teach people 330 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: to do exactly what I do, so I have a 331 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 2: consultant program, and I teach people if you want to 332 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: be a consultant like me and go in businesses and 333 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: teach them which tools to use, do trainings and stuff 334 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: for them.

And by 337 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 2: me really getting out my mission and saying hey, I'm 338 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 2: going to demystify AI for you and show you how 339 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: to cash in, I pull people in and they're like, 340 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: what else do you have to offer? 341 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: Right? 342 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: Right? And so then I can take them into different 343 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 2: levels where they're getting different types of support. I do 344 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 2: live events in Atlanta all the time, and people pay 345 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: to come to those live trainings and bring their laptops. 346 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: So I make money on entertaining. 347 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: I say it is because I'm being entertained by the 348 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: information because it's so important. 349 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 2: It is. 350 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: But even in this conversation, I want to go through 351 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: I want to be one of the twenty one thousand online. 352 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: I want to go see you as a as a 353 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: your part entertainer. Part. 354 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: No, no, definitely not I'm saying it. I'm not. But 355 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: when I think when you have a passion for what 356 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 2: you teach, it becomes fun and easy. And I also 357 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 2: want to make I'm not know. 358 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: She's just a passionate person what you do, which is 359 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: AI right. 360 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: I know you know the entertainment industry so well. So 361 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: that is such a compliment. 362 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: Because we know any time you go on stage, you 363 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: know there's a there's factors. I always tell people, there's 364 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: a want, and that's why people follow you. You know, 365 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: they feel you can do something that they can't do, 366 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: or you do something that makes them feel good. So 367 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: when you walk on that stage, you're giving people knowledge 368 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: which some people need and some people want to grow 369 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: on and go how can I get that that that 370 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: that knowledge or that passion or that information that she's delivering. 371 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: And when you walk out there in front of a 372 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: room full of people, because that's different than being online. 373 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: When you walk out there on that stage, what's going 374 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: through your mind? And how do you feel and react 375 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: to the love? 376 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, the first thing that I do is like, am 377 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: I going to trip in these high heels? No, I'm not. 378 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: I'm not. That's a first, But I feel left to 379 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 2: be on the stage in front of all of these people. 380 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: The last event that I did in Atlanta. There were 381 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 2: twelve hundred people that came live and we only had 382 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 2: three weeks to put it together. It was a lot 383 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: of work, sleepless nights, but I was so grateful that 384 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: so many people. How did you get the word out 385 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: through the people that come to my Summit's? Hey, if 386 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 2: you want to come, bring your laptop and we have 387 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 2: an event, and so people come, they want to learn. 388 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: Here's the thing people want to learn, you know, people 389 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 2: want to learn. And the next thing was I had 390 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: fifteen years ago. I had gone through a very difficult divorce. 391 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: But the person I was married to at the time 392 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: did not want me to be a speaker. He was 393 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 2: a speaker, so he didn't want me to be a speaker. 394 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: Oh God's selfish, very very so. 395 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: Anyway, one time we were speaking on stage an event 396 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 2: together and the promoters like, I want both of you 397 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 2: to speak. So I spoke first, and I spoke about 398 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 2: Twitter and I was teaching it to real estate investors. 399 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 2: And when I was about to get off stage, when 400 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: I was done, I lifted up my husband time and 401 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 2: I was like, if you like me, you're gonna love 402 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 2: my husband. He's coming up next. Because I always believe 403 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 2: lift up the next person right if I shouted him out. 404 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 2: But people came on stage before I could get off stage, 405 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 2: so they came up the stage to ask me questions. 406 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 2: Somebody wanted a picture with me, and it kind of 407 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: caught me off guard. You know, they were playing music 408 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,479 Speaker 2: during the transition, so they got all the people off 409 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: stage so I could leave. 410 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: But we dropped. 411 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: I had a fun time on stage. 412 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: Somebody's followed me. 413 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: When I was leaving the stage and my ex husband 414 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: was coming up the stage. He looked me in the 415 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 2: face and instead of saying congratulations, he said, there's only 416 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 2: one quarterback on a team, and you will never speak 417 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 2: again and looked me in the face and said that, 418 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: and then he kept walking. And you know, I know 419 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 2: the audience sees me, so I have to try to 420 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: change my face, try to change my face. And I 421 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 2: was like, you, she should have congratulated me, and I 422 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: lifted him up, but he couldn't take the fact to 423 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: that I had done well. So my sister was there 424 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 2: watching me, and I come to the back and she's like, 425 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 2: I saw your face. What happened? What did he say 426 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: to you? When I told her, and I said, but 427 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: any idiot knows there's more than one quarterback on the team, 428 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 2: you know. And then I had called my friend. I 429 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 2: left the room and I call one of my friends 430 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 2: who's a motivational speaker, and I told him about it, 431 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 2: and he, you know, he pulled me back and said, 432 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 2: forget about that. You will be speaking on the best stages. 433 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: In fact, people will come to see you speak. So 434 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: he was my first speaker at the event that I 435 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: had for myself, that friend that I had called, And 436 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 2: when he came out on the stage, unknown to me, 437 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 2: he told that story and he was like, I'm so 438 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: proud of her because the last time we talked about 439 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: her speaking on stage, this is what her ex husband 440 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: had said. And now look at this, twelve hundred people 441 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 2: here to see her and for her to teach them. 442 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: So I believe that, you know, the energy that we 443 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: put out and what we want to do for people 444 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: will always shine. Just we just have to remember to 445 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: get away from the people that try to pull us 446 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: down sometimes. 447 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: I this conversation could be I want to just I'm 448 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: going to keep on brand, keep on brand. I brought 449 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: you need to educate other people. Okay, now you have organization, harness, 450 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: AI powered automation drive innovation and scale impact across industries 451 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: such as finance. I want to talk about that, healthcare, 452 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: government and entrepreneurship. Let's talk about finance. 453 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, so in every industry, AI is impacting every industry. 454 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: And when we look at the finance industry, we're looking 455 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: at how are they using AI. We have some banks 456 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 2: now that have really integrated artificial intelligence into a way 457 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 2: where they have AI agents answering the phone calls and 458 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: helping customers before it would ever get to a human. Right, 459 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 2: you don't like the agents. 460 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: Right, just let you know, I go zero agent, agent, 461 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: agent person. 462 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 2: You're you are talking to the ones that aren't good. 463 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: So there are great AI receptionists now. They haven't gone 464 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 2: mainstream yet. We're using them in our business. I have 465 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 2: one and Leslie I have another one, Monica, and Monica 466 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: makes me so much money because people call our phone 467 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: number and before I had it going to voicemail, and 468 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 2: the voicemail people don't leave messages. But now we have 469 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,239 Speaker 2: our average is ninety two percent of people interact with 470 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 2: Monica till the end. Sometimes it's have our director of 471 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: business development callback or leaving a message or something for 472 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 2: customer service. But at least people interact with her. But 473 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: here's what we do that's different. When our AI receptionists answer, 474 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 2: she says, Hi, I'm Monica, an AI receptionist for at 475 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 2: least ye a little. And so right off the bat, 476 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 2: we're not we're being transparent that she's AI and that 477 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 2: really helps us. But back to the finance. You know, 478 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 2: in every industry people are using it, but also financially 479 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 2: when we look at small businesses and entrepreneurs, we need 480 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 2: to be using it in our own finances as well. 481 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: So make sure that you set the tools where you 482 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 2: have a level of security with them. So chat GBT, 483 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: go to your settings, click on security, turn on multi 484 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 2: factor authentication. Then go back to settings, click on data 485 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: controls and turn off the ability for CHATCHYBT to share 486 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 2: your data with their big model. And now you go 487 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 2: to it and you say, these are my p and 488 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: ls from last year, right, what revenue gaps was I missing? 489 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: How can I ten x my income? So I've done this, 490 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 2: I do this all the time and it's helped me 491 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 2: go from well, let's just say that I made the 492 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 2: income that I made and the whole year for twenty 493 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 2: twenty four I made in one month in twenty twenty five. 494 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 2: And this is by using artificial intelligence to say what 495 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: gaps are I missing? Where do I need to go 496 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: based on this information and what you know about me 497 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 2: and these things that I'm doing, and the plans that 498 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 2: it can spit out for you if you follow them. 499 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 2: Because that's the hardest part is then the implementation, like, 500 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: let's follow it can be a game changer for small businesses, 501 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: the biggest game changer. 502 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: Cool, Now let's talk about healthcare. 503 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're seeing AI in healthcare and all parts 504 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 2: of healthcare, right from the administration part to the tool 505 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: that they're using in hospitals now and in private doctor's offices. 506 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: And we're seeing so when you say that healthcare, would 507 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: you go into the mental side as well, because I 508 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: it's a lot of AI agents that are really delivering 509 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: health care advice. They mental healthcare advice? 510 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 2: Are they are? I will tell everybody you need to be, 511 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 2: you know, cautious about using AI for mental health care advice, 512 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 2: but go into it knowing that you're using an AI 513 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 2: and just make sure that the settings are you know, 514 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: favorable to you, so that you know that if you're 515 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: using an AI therapist how that therapist acts and what 516 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: data they're trained on and knowledge that they're trained on. 517 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 2: But let's say that somebody is going through something. Sometimes 518 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 2: there's not a human for you to talk to. There's 519 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: so many people who struggle and don't have a person 520 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 2: to talk to. But now they're opening up their phone 521 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: and they're using AI and we call this conversational AI. 522 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 2: But they're having a conversation with AI to help them 523 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: get through something, and so or we call these AI 524 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: companions a lot and older people are using AI companions 525 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: as well, So it makes a big difference when someone 526 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: doesn't have someone to talk to that at least they 527 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 2: have an AI to talk to. And we're going to 528 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: see this more and more. This is going to be 529 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: a really big. 530 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, because of the fact that you know, 531 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: they already got a little robots bringing your stuff around 532 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: the city and you see these cars driving around mapping 533 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: out and you just hop in the back and to 534 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: take you to the airport right now. But the government, 535 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: you know, we people always that's what the big fear. 536 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: People always talking about AI is going to take my 537 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 1: job right, take my job right. So when I hear 538 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: the word government, what role does AI play with people 539 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: who feel is going to take their job. Really, if 540 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: they tweak their opportunities, they can benefit from AI. 541 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you've packed a lot of things into that 542 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 2: question right there. So let's talk about the government and AI. 543 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: First. 544 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 2: Our government is really pushing AI. They want America to 545 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 2: be the number one at AI adoption and AI integration. 546 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 2: And then when you talk about jobs and people losing 547 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: their jobs, yes, we're seeing that people will be losing 548 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: their jobs. People have lost their jobs. Companies have come 549 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: out and said we're laying off those who are not 550 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 2: AI literate to hire people who are, or we've laid 551 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 2: off a group of people because AI can now do that. 552 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: So to the person, I say, you need to go 553 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: out there and be AI literate, you need to be 554 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: AI fluent because right now there are not enough people 555 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 2: that are AI literate and fluent to take all of 556 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 2: the jobs opportunities that are available. In fact, is AI 557 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 2: consultants and strategists. There is a huge crisis right now 558 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 2: where there are not enough AI trainers out there to 559 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 2: help these companies integrate and use these AI tools. So 560 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 2: I'm telling people like, look and see, this is your 561 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: second you know, this is your second move, think about 562 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 2: a new career in doing something with AI, or if 563 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: you're in a job right now, future proof yourself and 564 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 2: learn artificial intelligence and integrate it into the work that 565 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: you're doing and raise your hand in your jobs and 566 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 2: say hey, I've taken AI classes, I'm AI certified, I 567 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: know what to do. Let me help. So we've seen 568 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 2: a lot of people do that, who've been put on 569 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: AI committees, who are starting AI committees, and they're future 570 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 2: proofing themselves. They're making themselves more valuable. And in the 571 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: times that we're in today, we're in an AI revolution. 572 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: If you want to make sure that you have a 573 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 2: job or your business is growing, you have to There's 574 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: not should I maybe I will later know. You have 575 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: to learn how you can leverage AI because those using 576 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: AI will replace you, those using AI will as your 577 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: competitors will far surpass you. So you need to be 578 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 2: paying attention to things like that. 579 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: Well, we started out talking about small businesses and entrepreneurship, 580 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: so that's what this whole show is about.

So we get more into coaching and 601 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: integration specifically for them. We also help people write books 602 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 2: with artificial intelligence, so we do a lot, but I'd 603 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 2: say a lot of people start off with joining one 604 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: of our summits or sending me a contact us message 605 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 2: and seeing how I can help them. 606 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: You say, and one of the questions you will sit 607 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: to me is an AI is a human first technology? Yes, 608 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: why do you say that? 609 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so when we're using artificial intelligence, it's AI plus 610 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 2: human intelligence, right, So the AI plus HI, it's the 611 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: human that's using artificial intelligence that can that knows how 612 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: to use it well, that can take things to the 613 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: next level. Okay, but AI just sitting there, sitting right here, right, 614 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 2: we have chatgypt right here. Let's say it's not doing 615 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 2: anything without me or you telling it what to do. 616 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 2: And the better we are at telling it what to do, 617 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 2: the better results that we get from it that we 618 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 2: can then use to grow, multiply and expand our business. 619 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 2: So we have to make sure that as humans, right 620 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: is that we talk now like we have to make 621 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: sure that the humans are making sure that they know 622 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 2: how to use the AI. And I foresee in the 623 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 2: near future where work changes. So where we're working, you know, 624 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 2: right now we're working, we're doing our work. Right in 625 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 2: the near future, we're going to be watching AI do 626 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 2: our work for us, and we're going to be managing 627 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: and monitoring the AI, and we'll all have AI doing 628 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: work for us right at the personal level in our 629 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 2: households and then also at the professional level in our workspaces. 630 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: The least here little experience. That's right, I had you 631 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: know you've walked me through a journey of AI. I 632 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: still don't know what I should know. I still am 633 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: in the dark of a lot of things because you 634 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: unpacked a lot on this show. But you also told 635 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: me where I can go to disseminate all this information 636 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: and they very organized and recognizable path to discovery.
