  Dave Hamilton: Business Brain, episode 789 for Casual Friday AI, September 18th,
• 0:05
  Dave Hamilton: National Tradesman Day, 2026.
• 0:09
  Shannon Jean: Love the trades, dude.
• 0:11
  Dave Hamilton: And there is a shortage of trades people out there, especially younger trades
• 0:17
  Dave Hamilton: people. There's so many people. Absolutely.
• 0:20
  Dave Hamilton: It started to get a stigma about it where it's lesser than or something,
• 0:24
  Dave Hamilton: which is I call very few things stupid, and I would agree with you on this one. It is, yeah. Yeah. Yep.
• 0:31
  Shannon Jean: But I get it. I mean, when you're, yeah, it's easy to get caught up into this and.
• 0:35
  Dave Hamilton: Yep. Gotta go to college, gotta do this.
• 0:37
  Shannon Jean: Yeah, yeah. Where are your kids going to college? Yeah. If they get into Princeton,
• 0:40
  Shannon Jean: you're gonna, whatever.
• 0:41
  Dave Hamilton: Whatever.
• 0:41
  Shannon Jean: You know, let it go.
• 0:42
  Dave Hamilton: Yep. Yep. No, it's, I, I, there's a, there's a lot of money to be made in the
• 0:47
  Dave Hamilton: trades and there's great businesses there.
• 0:50
  Dave Hamilton: I mean. Absolutely. Spectacular businesses.
• 0:53
  Shannon Jean: Massive. I still think you need to move from tradesman to business owner,
• 0:56
  Shannon Jean: but that's just another step in the, you know, thing.
• 0:58
  Dave Hamilton: That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Greetings, folks, and welcome to Business Brain,
• 1:01
  Dave Hamilton: the show where we take some ideas, we crunch them, we dissect them,
• 1:04
  Dave Hamilton: we use them to tune our business brains and level up our charmed lives.
• 1:09
  Dave Hamilton: Our sponsors include hymns.com slash business brain, where you can go to get
• 1:13
  Dave Hamilton: a personalized, affordable health plan that gets you, and Somnipods 3 earbuds
• 1:18
  Dave Hamilton: from Fitnexa, where you get $10 off at go.fitnexa.com slash brain.
• 1:22
  Dave Hamilton: We'll talk more about both of those in a little bit.
• 1:25
  Dave Hamilton: For now, here in Durham, New Hampshire, I'm Dave Hamilton.
• 1:28
  Shannon Jean: And here I'm in the Sierra foothills today. I'm Shannon. Glad to be here. Happy Friday.
• 1:33
  Dave Hamilton: I happy Friday. I indeed. Where do we want to.
• 1:37
  Dave Hamilton: Oh, you know, I promised an update in Wednesday's episode.
• 1:41
  Dave Hamilton: We were talking about the domain that I sold and I promised that I would update
• 1:46
  Dave Hamilton: people on the thing that I did with the proceeds from this domain because I
• 1:51
  Dave Hamilton: figured this is found money.
• 1:53
  Dave Hamilton: And I've been wanting, A, I've been wanting to be a little more active as an investor.
• 2:01
  Dave Hamilton: And I know that I need to be more
• 2:03
  Dave Hamilton: active about it. But I don't have the expertise nor the time to do that.
• 2:09
  Shannon Jean: Versus just like putting it in an EFT or something like that.
• 2:11
  Dave Hamilton: Well, maybe not an EFT, but like an ETF is what you meant.
• 2:15
  Shannon Jean: ETF, that's what I meant, ETF.
• 2:17
  Dave Hamilton: Very different.
• 2:18
  Shannon Jean: Beginner mind, Dave. That's it.
• 2:20
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah, yeah. Right, exactly. And so I thought, well, here's this found money.
• 2:24
  Dave Hamilton: And essentially the AI helped me find this money. Like I said in the last episode,
• 2:28
  Dave Hamilton: if I didn't have Claude to help me, I would have ignored this email.
• 2:32
  Dave Hamilton: And suddenly I had 10 grand.
• 2:34
  Dave Hamilton: And so that I didn't expect to have, it was found money essentially.
• 2:39
  Dave Hamilton: And so I sat down with Claude one afternoon and I said, all right,
• 2:43
  Dave Hamilton: here's what we're going to do. We're going to take this 10 grand that you earned
• 2:46
  Dave Hamilton: and we're going to do a 90 day experiment.
• 2:49
  Dave Hamilton: And you're going to, you're going to, you do whatever you want with this.
• 2:54
  Dave Hamilton: I am happy to answer questions. However, I cannot be allowed to,
• 3:00
  Dave Hamilton: the system needs to be built so that I am not the thing that holds up progress.
• 3:06
  Dave Hamilton: You make all the decisions and propose them to me if it, you know,
• 3:11
  Dave Hamilton: if it's a big one or something, and then I can say yes or no.
• 3:15
  Dave Hamilton: But if I say nothing, in 48 hours, we go with you.
• 3:20
  Dave Hamilton: And this is what we worked out, you know, kind of going back and forth.
• 3:22
  Dave Hamilton: But that's the system. So it is an algorithmic.
• 3:28
  Dave Hamilton: Trading system meaning the ai built a um
• 3:33
  Dave Hamilton: an algorithm but the algorithm is is not ai run it is static meaning if a stock
• 3:41
  Dave Hamilton: gets to x percent over this happens no matter what there's no like emotion and you prompted
• 3:48
  Shannon Jean: That when you.
• 3:49
  Dave Hamilton: First i it no it told me it was like i we think this is how this needs to run
• 3:54
  Dave Hamilton: it like we will have check-ins uh
• 3:58
  Dave Hamilton: what there will be sort of lightweight check-ins i'll call them once a week
• 4:02
  Dave Hamilton: and heavy one heavyweight check-in at the 45 day mark to make sure that our
• 4:07
  Dave Hamilton: strategy is good but the strategy is firm unless we change it which we've been
• 4:13
  Dave Hamilton: we're past the 45 day mark we did not change the strategy it was okay it was it was fine
• 4:17
  Dave Hamilton: but otherwise it was like no because otherwise we're trading with either human
• 4:21
  Dave Hamilton: emotion or ai I, you know, fabricated emotion.
• 4:24
  Dave Hamilton: And then we're going to get off the rails because we're going to,
• 4:27
  Dave Hamilton: we're going to like, it's like, I'm no better at this than you because,
• 4:31
  Dave Hamilton: you know, I'm going to make stuff up too, just like you would.
• 4:34
  Dave Hamilton: I was like, love it. Yep. So we have a very formulaic, maybe formulaic is better
• 4:37
  Dave Hamilton: than algorithmic approach.
• 4:39
  Dave Hamilton: And it's been doing it. And, and it, you know, we were down a little bit at
• 4:42
  Dave Hamilton: first and it was doing some things.
• 4:44
  Dave Hamilton: We are at day 69 right now. Okay.
• 4:48
  Dave Hamilton: And we are up 11%.
• 4:51
  Shannon Jean: Nice.
• 4:52
  Dave Hamilton: In 70 days yeah yeah yeah that's killer it what it told me to do was go get
• 4:56
  Dave Hamilton: it it said i think we should do 60 crypto 40 in equities
• 5:02
  Dave Hamilton: and i was like that's fine and it said so go get an account at kraken because
• 5:06
  Dave Hamilton: i can trade with their mcp connector with kraken and do that on your behalf as long as i give it
• 5:12
  Dave Hamilton: the api keys which of course i did and uh alpaca is the one for equities and
• 5:17
  Dave Hamilton: it said you You've got to go fund these accounts.
• 5:19
  Dave Hamilton: And it actually made me make the first trades, like the first buy.
• 5:24
  Dave Hamilton: Just, it was like, you need to be the one to kick this off, and then I'll take
• 5:29
  Dave Hamilton: it from there. Okay. I was like, you know what? That's fair.
• 5:31
  Dave Hamilton: That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:33
  Dave Hamilton: And it's Claude, so it's a little bit, you know, extra sensitive about,
• 5:36
  Dave Hamilton: like, you know, being safe and all that stuff. So, it was like,
• 5:40
  Dave Hamilton: yeah, okay, that's fine.
• 5:41
  Dave Hamilton: But I haven't done a thing. In fact, I looked. Today's Monday, so it's the review day.
• 5:46
  Dave Hamilton: And there's, like, three decisions that I need to make that I haven't looked
• 5:49
  Dave Hamilton: at yet. And I'm about to leave for New York. So, there is a decent chance that
• 5:53
  Dave Hamilton: by Wednesday morning I will not have looked at these and it will just go and run.
• 5:58
  Shannon Jean: I like that idea. You know, with X just rolled out X money.
• 6:02
  Shannon Jean: And so now when you get paid your creator revenue share, and when you get paid
• 6:11
  Shannon Jean: for subscriptions, if you have both those things turned on, it dumps it into X money.
• 6:15
  Shannon Jean: So it stays and it lists it in your X profile. When you go to your page,
• 6:21
  Shannon Jean: you can see your X money balance.
• 6:23
  Dave Hamilton: I got it.
• 6:24
  Shannon Jean: And they send you a debit card and all this kind of stuff. But the interesting
• 6:29
  Shannon Jean: thing is right now they pay 6%.
• 6:31
  Dave Hamilton: That's pretty good. Yeah. Pretty good.
• 6:33
  Shannon Jean: But I think I'm going to do the same thing. Once I hit some dollar amount like
• 6:37
  Shannon Jean: you're talking about, because before it was just transferred to my bank.
• 6:40
  Shannon Jean: I'm like, yeah, I'm going to leave it in there.
• 6:41
  Shannon Jean: I'll earn 6%. But once I get $10,000 or whatever in a couple of months,
• 6:47
  Shannon Jean: I'm going to go ahead and start doing something like that. So maybe you'll share
• 6:49
  Shannon Jean: that prompt with us or with me.
• 6:53
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah, I'll I'll I'll I'll have Claude kind of distill down what anonymized it.
• 7:00
  Dave Hamilton: Well, not even anonymized, but like it was a it was a, you know,
• 7:03
  Dave Hamilton: 90 minute process that we went through going back and forth and kind of,
• 7:07
  Dave Hamilton: you know, what decision? What do you want to do? It's asking me.
• 7:09
  Dave Hamilton: I'm like, I don't friggin know. That's why I asked you, man.
• 7:11
  Dave Hamilton: Yes. And it was like, OK, all right, great. You know how it did ask how much of this.
• 7:17
  Dave Hamilton: Are you able to lose? And I told it.
• 7:21
  Dave Hamilton: Very important. All of it. Yeah. Right. And everybody's going to answer that
• 7:25
  Dave Hamilton: question differently. And depending on the amount that you put in.
• 7:28
  Dave Hamilton: And it was like, okay, great. I like, I, but I, when I answered,
• 7:31
  Dave Hamilton: even when I answered, I said all of it, but I don't want to, I want this to win.
• 7:35
  Dave Hamilton: Of course. And it was like, well, your win for this is that you are going to
• 7:40
  Dave Hamilton: have an active trading system that you don't need to, that is not reliant on you as the bottleneck.
• 7:47
  Dave Hamilton: That's the win and i was like oh actually that's true like that for me that
• 7:53
  Dave Hamilton: was the win because it was like oh i'm gonna get to this at some point and that's been you know
• 7:58
  Dave Hamilton: whatever i mean you could say five years you could say 20 years like i mean
• 8:01
  Dave Hamilton: i i buy some stuff here and there and i've i've gotten lucky and done really well but
• 8:06
  Dave Hamilton: that that then makes me realize oh i like now i'm petrified because i had some
• 8:11
  Dave Hamilton: big wins but like i i didn't know what i was doing yeah it's
• 8:15
  Shannon Jean: Better Like you said, it gets emotion out of your hands.
• 8:17
  Dave Hamilton: Got to get the emotion out of it.
• 8:18
  Shannon Jean: It's a huge argument to have a financial planner.
• 8:22
  Dave Hamilton: For the same reason.
• 8:23
  Shannon Jean: Because it separates you. Correct. Yeah, you're going to pay 1% or.
• 8:27
  Dave Hamilton: However it is.
• 8:28
  Shannon Jean: You're going to pay half of a percent depending upon what you're doing.
• 8:30
  Shannon Jean: But you don't see it day by day.
• 8:33
  Shannon Jean: No. And I only look at it when it's going up. And when it drops,
• 8:37
  Shannon Jean: I just don't look at it. And then it just constantly levels up. So I think it's great.
• 8:41
  Shannon Jean: Right, and I think getting the AI involved is huge because it takes the emotion out of it. I love it.
• 8:46
  Dave Hamilton: It's really interesting, yeah. And like I said, I...
• 8:51
  Dave Hamilton: I happen to be up 11%. I realize that if the timing were different, I might not be. Right.
• 8:59
  Dave Hamilton: But it came up with a formula based on where we were in the market cycles,
• 9:04
  Dave Hamilton: and it made some predictions.
• 9:07
  Dave Hamilton: It has bought and sold some things. It was like, oh, we're down 25% on this one thing we bought.
• 9:12
  Dave Hamilton: We're getting the heck out of that. We're not going to wait for it to recover.
• 9:15
  Dave Hamilton: We're going to put the money somewhere else.
• 9:17
  Dave Hamilton: And so and it did but it didn't do it because it was thinking that was a good
• 9:22
  Dave Hamilton: idea it did it because our formula said this is how we and and the formula was
• 9:27
  Dave Hamilton: obviously a collaboration mostly it but
• 9:30
  Dave Hamilton: you know i signed off on the formula but it was like this is this is really
• 9:34
  Dave Hamilton: the right way to do it it gives you some room to move up and down without it being crazy
• 9:37
  Dave Hamilton: but if if something's losing you just got to get out and don't don't worry it's
• 9:41
  Dave Hamilton: a sunk cost man i'm like yeah love this love this it's all of the averages it's
• 9:46
  Dave Hamilton: all yes that's it that's it so yeah
• 9:48
  Dave Hamilton: uh awesome all right we have i know we have something oh you're gonna tell me
• 9:53
  Dave Hamilton: about something i want to share
• 9:54
  Shannon Jean: A new ai that i'm using that's.
• 9:55
  Dave Hamilton: Really blowing my mind wait but i'm going to wait because the next thing that
• 10:01
  Dave Hamilton: we want to do is talk about our sponsors listen entrepreneurs our problem usually isn't falling asleep
• 10:08
  Dave Hamilton: it's that the world keeps talking right the house the street and the brain still
• 10:13
  Dave Hamilton: running a stand-up meeting all by itself at midnight
• 10:17
  Dave Hamilton: so i've been using somnipods 3 from our sponsor fitnexa
• 10:22
  Dave Hamilton: and the noise cancellation knocks down enough of what's around me that i can
• 10:27
  Dave Hamilton: just tune it out and wind down right and this is great on an especially distracting
• 10:31
  Dave Hamilton: day like that's the whole ball game
• 10:35
  Dave Hamilton: You know, these have absolutely earned a spot in my travel kit.
• 10:38
  Dave Hamilton: I will be bringing them with me to New York this week without question.
• 10:42
  Dave Hamilton: They're already packed.
• 10:43
  Dave Hamilton: And yes, the noise cancellation is important. Comfort is what makes it work, though.
• 10:49
  Dave Hamilton: They're flat enough that I can lie directly on them. You know, I sleep on my side.
• 10:54
  Dave Hamilton: And for me, these stay comfortable with my head on the pillow.

  Dave Hamilton: All right Shannon my instincts tell me you're gonna tell us about something cool yeah so
• 13:32
  Shannon Jean: I get a lot of DMs. I get this DM from this rando, you know,
• 13:38
  Shannon Jean: and it says, hey, I got you an invite to this private beta for, you know, instinct AI.
• 13:45
  Shannon Jean: And I was like, I don't know this guy. I'm not clicking this link.
• 13:47
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah, right. Yeah.
• 13:48
  Shannon Jean: No way. No way. And so I didn't, I just like, oh, I didn't really respond first.
• 13:53
  Shannon Jean: And then he came back and said, hey, I'd love, I'd love for you to check it out.
• 13:57
  Shannon Jean: You know, you post on about AI and stuff. And so I said, all right.
• 13:59
  Shannon Jean: All right. So I looked, I was like, well, I looked this guy up.
• 14:02
  Shannon Jean: He kind of looked legit and everything. And then, but I still sat on it and
• 14:06
  Shannon Jean: he came back again. He said, we'd really like you to try this.
• 14:09
  Shannon Jean: Okay, fine. So I put, I, I grabbed, I clicked the link. I signed up for this instinct AI, um,
• 14:18
  Shannon Jean: And at first, when the terms came up, and I was like, man, they want access to everything.
• 14:24
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah. All right?
• 14:25
  Shannon Jean: All your Gmail, all this kind of stuff. And I was like, well. So I waited again.
• 14:29
  Shannon Jean: And then they came back. He was really dogging on me. He said,
• 14:32
  Shannon Jean: okay, look, this is the way it's going to work. I said, all right,
• 14:35
  Shannon Jean: are you SOC2 compliant or whatever? Okay, great. So I signed up.
• 14:41
  Shannon Jean: And there's no app. It lives on your iPhone. It lives in your messages.
• 14:47
  Dave Hamilton: Right? Okay.
• 14:48
  Shannon Jean: Okay. So I get a text says, Hey, this is instinct. Thanks for signing up.
• 14:55
  Shannon Jean: What do you want to do? I could do anything for you. I said,
• 14:57
  Shannon Jean: Okay, well, I don't know, you know, and this guy who's, who's now we're having
• 15:02
  Shannon Jean: a conversation. He says, Yeah, test it. Try something really hard.
• 15:05
  Shannon Jean: And it's like, Well, okay. I said, Hey, I just renewed my insurance.
• 15:10
  Shannon Jean: And I want to look at all but I don't have, you know, if I up,
• 15:14
  Shannon Jean: if I give you my insurance documents, can you go through it?
• 15:16
  Shannon Jean: And it's like, you've already given me access to your Gmail.
• 15:20
  Shannon Jean: I found the insurance documents already. I've already reviewed them.
• 15:24
  Shannon Jean: And it gives me this breakdown, like literally.
• 15:27
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah.
• 15:28
  Shannon Jean: The second. So I'm like, oh, that's cool. I've seen this trick before, but it's cool.
• 15:31
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah. Right. Yeah. I mean, if you, you can build this yourself with either,
• 15:37
  Dave Hamilton: you know, clawed with MCP connectors or open claw or probably your grok bot,
• 15:42
  Dave Hamilton: like, you know, all these things. Yep.
• 15:43
  Shannon Jean: And then, and then it goes, but you know, I noticed you just bought a new truck.
• 15:48
  Shannon Jean: I noticed I saw you posting about that truck. But when I looked at your insurance,
• 15:53
  Shannon Jean: they have your son as the primary driver. Wow.
• 15:57
  Dave Hamilton: Oh, wow. That's going to be expensive. Yeah.
• 15:59
  Shannon Jean: Right. And he's like, if you look on the renewal, I didn't even look,
• 16:03
  Shannon Jean: I hate to tell you that, but it was like $3,118.
• 16:08
  Dave Hamilton: Increase on the truck. Yeah.
• 16:11
  Shannon Jean: And so I was like, wow, okay, I guess I'll give him a call. He's like,
• 16:15
  Shannon Jean: you don't need to call. He's like, I'm going to reach out to Hans, who's my agent.
• 16:19
  Shannon Jean: And he's like, is this email work okay? Can I send it? And I'm like, yeah.
• 16:22
  Shannon Jean: And so he sends it. And then he's like, what's next? he goes i see your your
• 16:26
  Shannon Jean: wife is headed on a girl's trip how about sending something to where she's staying
• 16:31
  Shannon Jean: dude i was like great that's a great idea dude so it says all right,
• 16:36
  Shannon Jean: what's i don't see the address can you put the address on the calendar so because
• 16:39
  Shannon Jean: it has access to my calendar yeah yeah,
• 16:40
  Shannon Jean: and i and i had to give my iCal i pushed my iCal backwards up to my google calendar
• 16:46
  Shannon Jean: so i could access it that way too okay yeah and it says okay got the address
• 16:50
  Shannon Jean: i had my wife put the address on the calendar and it's like okay,

  Dave Hamilton: Back and forth,
• 17:22
  Shannon Jean: And it's,
• 17:23
  Shannon Jean: over dude over and over it's coming up it's like.
• 17:26
  Dave Hamilton: What and i realize it's in in beta right now what yes do you have any idea what
• 17:32
  Dave Hamilton: the cost will be of this okay no idea because that i mean that's where having built
• 17:40
  Dave Hamilton: ish things like this with like open claw we also like in one of my businesses
• 17:45
  Dave Hamilton: we just built a harness for for ai oh yeah i want
• 17:49
  Shannon Jean: I want to talk more about that too.
• 17:50
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah yeah
• 17:52
  Shannon Jean: I'm looking at the.
• 17:53
  Dave Hamilton: Timing. We'll talk about that next week. It is much harder than you think.
• 18:01
  Dave Hamilton: And so we'll tease that up for next time. But with open claw,
• 18:07
  Dave Hamilton: I've got something like this running. My son's got his open claw probably tuned way better than mine.
• 18:14
  Dave Hamilton: And either one of them, and even Claude could do this for me, but there's a...
• 18:22
  Dave Hamilton: Recurring need for management of the infrastructure of the thing yes and i think sounds like instinct
• 18:32
  Dave Hamilton: is owning that that part of it right because they're like no you don't have
• 18:36
  Dave Hamilton: to go like if if if it was open claw or something to be like yeah yeah go sign up for a you know
• 18:42
  Dave Hamilton: at best it would be go sign up for an instacart account give me the password
• 18:46
  Dave Hamilton: put it in this dot env file tell me where i can read it from and i'm going to
• 18:49
  Dave Hamilton: build it and then it's going to be like wait i had a problem let you know let's
• 18:52
  Dave Hamilton: talk through this and you build it and then it's like okay now it's great but
• 18:56
  Dave Hamilton: that just derailed you for correct at best 30 minutes finding probably two hours yeah yeah
• 19:02
  Shannon Jean: I'm looking at my email less i'm looking at my calendar less and it's prompting
• 19:07
  Shannon Jean: me like it'll drop in and say hey um like this morning it's it came up and said
• 19:12
  Shannon Jean: uh you got to pay for that domain here's the.
• 19:15
  Dave Hamilton: Link yeah uh
• 19:16
  Shannon Jean: Just set it up like okay great and it's the interaction is great and they it
• 19:22
  Shannon Jean: just keeps pushing me what else you can ask me to do anything ask me.
• 19:26
  Dave Hamilton: Again all right yeah i want to sign up for this and so
• 19:28
  Shannon Jean: I have a bunch i have some i got some beta like 15 banks will share if if you
• 19:34
  Shannon Jean: send a feedback at businessbrain.show and i'll share with you dave cool um and,
• 19:40
  Shannon Jean: it's they just released, I think, uh,
• 19:42
  Shannon Jean: yesterday or Friday where if you, if somebody else has instinct, they can talk together.
• 19:48
  Dave Hamilton: Oh, cool.
• 19:48
  Shannon Jean: So if you, so if you have your family, if everybody's using instinct,
• 19:52
  Shannon Jean: you can use it to connect and create calendar events or do whatever and coordinate.
• 19:56
  Shannon Jean: You want dinner reservations. You want this. And yeah.
• 20:00
  Shannon Jean: The last thing i'll say is i had it do these business reviews for me i had to
• 20:04
  Shannon Jean: drive like three hours yeah and it talked to me
• 20:08
  Shannon Jean: in 10 minute snippets about different aspects of my business the whole time
• 20:12
  Shannon Jean: it just kept researching coming back it's it's impressive i definitely highly recommend it.
• 20:16
  Dave Hamilton: Yep it's
• 20:17
  Shannon Jean: It's going to be i think it's life-changing.
• 20:20
  Dave Hamilton: For me yep yeah i you know i i have built with open claw
• 20:25
  Dave Hamilton: pieces and and claude i kind of have things you know in different places but
• 20:29
  Dave Hamilton: i built pieces of this and like when once i got the email portion of it tuned
• 20:35
  Dave Hamilton: i was like like that then things went nuts you know it was like oh man this
• 20:41
  Dave Hamilton: is great because i get three times a day it's pinging me and saying hey uh
• 20:46
  Dave Hamilton: you need to look at this thing in your inbox or this thing came in i let me
• 20:51
  Dave Hamilton: know if you want me to draft a reply for it you know that kind It's just
• 20:56
  Shannon Jean: That interaction and prompting you. The proactiveness.
• 20:59
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah.
• 21:00
  Shannon Jean: And I'm feeling now my role as a founder, as a manager, is really changing.
• 21:06
  Shannon Jean: And I'm becoming more of a conductor.
• 21:08
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah, that's it, man. That is the word that the guy who, like the engineer,
• 21:16
  Dave Hamilton: the architect of Claude Code, that's because he doesn't write code anymore.
• 21:22
  Dave Hamilton: Um and and he is just the conductor of hundreds of different agents doing
• 21:28
  Shannon Jean: The thing the same i hit the morning i grok for the morning grok bot is doing
• 21:32
  Shannon Jean: certain things for me and i'm asking for updates claude is prepping calls different
• 21:36
  Shannon Jean: things for me yeah and now instinct is doing these different things for me it
• 21:40
  Shannon Jean: it's incredible man yeah it's incredible.
• 21:42
  Dave Hamilton: I agree so this is interesting because last week
• 21:49
  Dave Hamilton: Our big takeaway was to sign up for GrokBot. And this instinct thing is really,
• 21:56
  Dave Hamilton: it's in a sense, if we zoom out enough, it's the same, right?
• 22:01
  Dave Hamilton: It's you want to have, you want to integrate...
• 22:04
  Dave Hamilton: Ai into your life in a way that it's actually taking workload off and and taking distractions away
• 22:14
  Dave Hamilton: and being that filter now there is risk here because it's going to get it's
• 22:19
  Dave Hamilton: going to miss things that it decides are not important that you would say are
• 22:24
  Dave Hamilton: important of course and so like
• 22:26
  Dave Hamilton: there's a training process and and there's going to be a cost to that like an
• 22:30
  Dave Hamilton: opportunity cost, because you're going to miss something, right?
• 22:32
  Dave Hamilton: You know, and so I think, at least my vote for the big takeaway is
• 22:39
  Dave Hamilton: evaluating, try these things. Don't wait to start. Don't wait to start. But
• 22:48
  Dave Hamilton: what I was going to say is my advice is evaluate and start to learn what things
• 22:54
  Dave Hamilton: are actually important to you.
• 22:57
  Dave Hamilton: Cause you, we don't know until you miss one. Right.
• 22:59
  Dave Hamilton: And, and, and, and have the, and, and then train your ai assistant whatever
• 23:06
  Dave Hamilton: that is yeah to actually be your assistant but the only way you're going to do it is to start yeah
• 23:12
  Shannon Jean: Yeah this is the future of how you're going to interact with your computer correct
• 23:16
  Shannon Jean: in my opinion there's no doubt about it in my mind yeah you're
• 23:19
  Shannon Jean: you doing jumping on a bunch of apps and doing different things no it that's
• 23:24
  Shannon Jean: going to go away you're going to come up what's going on today here's all i
• 23:27
  Shannon Jean: need to do reach out to this person have them do this jump into Slack,
• 23:31
  Shannon Jean: it's going to be so much more interactive and focused in one spot.
• 23:37
  Shannon Jean: So the more you learn, and I think that is a big takeaway.
• 23:40
  Shannon Jean: You need to be experimenting with these different AI platforms and the UI,
• 23:45
  Shannon Jean: right? Because what Instinct has that I really like is it's in iMessage.
• 23:49
  Dave Hamilton: Yeah. Well, it's just text message. It's not iMessage. Just text message.
• 23:52
  Dave Hamilton: It's just so you could use it if you have Android.
• 23:54
  Shannon Jean: You can use anything you want. Yeah. So I love that interface,
• 23:57
  Shannon Jean: whether it's at or WhatsApp, whatever. Yeah.
• 24:00
  Shannon Jean: Yeah, so we'll break down that interaction in our business blueprints after the show.
• 24:06
  Shannon Jean: You can grab it at businessbrain.show slash blueprints, and we'll break it out
• 24:11
  Shannon Jean: and create a massive business plan that you can dig into to expand your brain.
• 24:16
  Dave Hamilton: Love it. Make sure to check that out and feedback at businessbrain.show if you
• 24:20
  Dave Hamilton: want your sign up for instinct.
• 24:24
  Dave Hamilton: And keep living that charmed life. We'll see you next week. Later. Have a great weekend.
• 24:27
