  Larry Wilson: Hi, this is Larry Wilson, and this is How to Talk to Humans.
• 0:04
  Larry Wilson: This is the podcast that shows you how to improve your communication skills.
• 0:10
  Larry Wilson: Are you looking to get a better job?
• 0:12
  Larry Wilson: Are you looking to find a relationship?
• 0:15
  Larry Wilson: Are you trying to do things in your life that have frustrated you and eluded you so far?
• 0:22
  Larry Wilson: I can show you so easily how to change that.
• 0:25
  Larry Wilson: Now, I can only do it with humans.
• 0:27
  Larry Wilson: If you're looking to deal with vampires, anomalies, extraterrestrials, this is not the joke.
• 0:33
  Larry Wilson: But if you're really looking to improve your communication skills, I can show you what I've learned in 40 years in the show business working with the biggest celebrities and superstars in the world.
• 0:47
  Larry Wilson: And their secrets are unbelievable.
• 0:52
  Larry Wilson: What I'm going to be teaching you during the course of this podcast every week are tools that you can use to communicate toward Signet.
• 1:05
  Larry Wilson: Hi, thanks for joining me again for part two of last week's show.
• 1:13
  Larry Wilson: There was so much I wanted to share with you, I didn't want to take up too much of your time.
• 1:20
  Larry Wilson: So here's all the good stuff that follows up the good stuff from part one.
• 1:28
  Larry Wilson: And for those of you who are late to the party, communication is human.
• 1:36
  Larry Wilson: That's great news.
• 1:37
  Larry Wilson: It's great news for you.
• 1:40
  Larry Wilson: It's great news because we're humans.
• 1:43
  Larry Wilson: And if you accept that, now I realize some people may object to that, same way other people may object to gravity or the seasons.
• 1:52
  Larry Wilson: You know, it's not fair that summer doesn't last all year.
• 1:56
  Larry Wilson: It's not fair that it gets cold in winter.
• 1:59
  Larry Wilson: Okay.
• 2:01
  Larry Wilson: But we have to play the cards we've been dealt here.
• 2:05
  Larry Wilson: And if in this world this is the way humans interact, it might be in our best interest to study it, practice the skills involved with it, develop an expertise at it so that we have something very few other people have.
• 2:28
  Larry Wilson: Expertise in communication.
• 2:31
  Larry Wilson: That's really all we're talking about here.
• 2:34
  Larry Wilson: And as you know, none of it's hard.
• 2:38
  Larry Wilson: None of it.
• 2:39
  Larry Wilson: None of it requires a college education.
• 2:42
  Larry Wilson: It requires you being able to speak and understand English well enough to understand what I'm saying.
• 2:49
  Larry Wilson: But I would be the first one to say there's probably people out there who don't speak English who are expert communicators in their own language.
• 2:57
  Larry Wilson: I cannot address that because English is really my primary language.
• 3:03
  Larry Wilson: I can speak a little bit of a couple other languages, but not the way I can speak in English.
• 3:08
  Larry Wilson: And that's what we're talking about here.
• 3:11
  Larry Wilson: We're all storytellers.
• 3:15
  Larry Wilson: So you better hone those skills.
• 3:17
  Larry Wilson: You better learn what appeals.
• 3:21
  Larry Wilson: And the wonderful part of this, the reason I say it's great news about AI, is if Homer could write this story, The Odyssey, 3,000 years ago, means anything we come up with now has to be in the same vein, the same tradition.
• 3:42
  Larry Wilson: All the Odyssey is, is a man who goes to war to defend his country, to defend his principles.
• 3:49
  Larry Wilson: We'll see what Christopher Nolan says.
• 3:52
  Larry Wilson: But he wants, when he's done and victorious, he wants to return home.
• 3:56
  Larry Wilson: And he does not have the luxury of airplanes or things like that.
• 4:00
  Larry Wilson: He has the luck, not really luxury, but he's required to use ships that rely on men to row them.
• 4:08
  Larry Wilson: Hundreds of men rowing to get home, thousands of miles.
• 4:13
  Larry Wilson: It takes him 20 years to get home.
• 4:16
  Larry Wilson: And everyone's telling his wife that he's dead.
• 4:20
  Larry Wilson: If he was alive, he'd be back.
• 4:22
  Larry Wilson: Well, we, the audience, whether we're listening to the poet Homer tell this story 3,000 years ago, or whether we're listening to the story retold a thousand years later at the time of the birth of Christ, or whether we've only learned it in the last few years, 3,000.
• 4:47
  Larry Wilson: We're listening to this, thinking, no, he's alive, he's alive.
• 4:51
  Larry Wilson: And his wife, the most beautiful woman in the world, but his wife refuses to give up on him.
• 5:01
  Larry Wilson: And his wife is saintly and stalwart, and she's she's beleaguered by suitors, hundreds of people who think if I marry her, I'll be king.
• 5:17
  Larry Wilson: And so it has nothing to do with love or how they feel about her.
• 5:22
  Larry Wilson: So this is this is all the stuff.
• 5:25
  Larry Wilson: Can you feel it?
• 5:27
  Larry Wilson: This is all stuff of a great story.
• 5:29
  Larry Wilson: I mean, an unbelievable story.
• 5:32
  Larry Wilson: And so we know, I hope you know by now, as I've tried to drill into you, if his aim is to get home, and he just jumps on a ship and they row home, and there's his wife, and then his wife.
• 5:48
  Larry Wilson: We the audience don't really enjoy that.
• 5:51
  Larry Wilson: We want drama.
• 5:53
  Larry Wilson: What does this mean?
• 5:54
  Larry Wilson: Where does drama come from?
• 5:56
  Larry Wilson: Conflict.
• 5:57
  Larry Wilson: Conflict.
• 5:59
  Larry Wilson: Now, some of you are saying, I'm not a screenwriter, I don't want to be a screenwriter.
• 6:03
  Larry Wilson: Uh, I'm not a book writer, I don't want to be no, no.
• 6:07
  Larry Wilson: But if you sell cars, there's a story to be told here.
• 6:14
  Larry Wilson: Because you might be able to say to a customer who comes in, if you're using Wilson method technique, you might ask them why they've come to you.
• 6:28
  Larry Wilson: And hopefully you're listening, you're using active listening.
• 6:33
  Larry Wilson: So when they say, Well, you know, I wanted a safe, reliable, cost-effective car for my daughter.
• 6:44
  Larry Wilson: How old is your daughter?
• 6:46
  Larry Wilson: My daughter's 19.
• 6:48
  Larry Wilson: Okay.
• 6:49
  Larry Wilson: And what does your daughter do?
• 6:51
  Larry Wilson: Does she drive a lot?
• 6:52
  Larry Wilson: Does she drive a lot?
• 6:53
  Larry Wilson: There's there's a lot of active listening for you to get information.
• 6:58
  Larry Wilson: They're telling you what story they want to hear.
• 7:02
  Larry Wilson: So that you can say, you know, it's interesting you should say this.
• 7:07
  Larry Wilson: Because I'm not asking you to lie.
• 7:10
  Larry Wilson: I'm hoping that you're able to use your personal real life experience to craft a story.
• 7:17
  Larry Wilson: The story might be: I have a friend who felt the same way, and he got his daughter the most expensive car that's laden with all these safety features.
• 7:29
  Larry Wilson: And his daughter didn't drive it.
• 7:32
  Larry Wilson: Why?
• 7:33
  Larry Wilson: Because it was too complicated.
• 7:35
  Larry Wilson: She couldn't figure out some of the electronics.
• 7:38
  Larry Wilson: Maybe that's part of the story.
• 7:41
  Larry Wilson: Until she found this car, that is the car you're representing at your car dealership.
• 7:48
  Larry Wilson: Maybe that's what this car has a lot of electronic elements, but not too many.
• 7:54
  Larry Wilson: It's simplified them, it's made the experience better for the driver.
• 8:01
  Larry Wilson: It's got a better interface.
• 8:03
  Larry Wilson: Maybe that's part of the story.
• 8:04
  Larry Wilson: Or maybe the story is maybe the story is more hair-raising.
• 8:09
  Larry Wilson: Maybe the story is uh they bought one of these cars from you.
• 8:14
  Larry Wilson: They weren't looking for safety, they were looking for good fuel economy, and they found it because this is a hybrid car.
• 8:21
  Larry Wilson: It uses both gasoline and electric.
• 8:23
  Larry Wilson: Maybe that's your story.
• 8:25
  Larry Wilson: And then there was a terrible snowstorm, and the person driving the car drove off a cliff and fell hundreds of feet and was unharmed because of all these safety features they didn't know about.
• 8:42
  Larry Wilson: And the construction of the maybe that's the story.
• 8:46
  Larry Wilson: It's a fantastic tale for someone to tell someone who's concerned about some of their body.
• 8:52
  Larry Wilson: So you see, it's not just about screenwriters, it's more obvious about screenwriters.
• 8:58
  Larry Wilson: They have to come up with something to engage us.
• 9:01
  Larry Wilson: But we're all concerned about the same things.
• 9:04
  Larry Wilson: And if you're employing empathy and you're listening, actively listening, you have a ton of information.
• 9:11
  Larry Wilson: You might make up a story on the spot.
• 9:14
  Larry Wilson: Or you might have several stories, you might have three different stories that all emphasize different things.
• 9:21
  Larry Wilson: But whatever they are, that person I told you about before, who was just imagining we were making this up, someone who has uh offers services or creates some goods or something, that person who felt like I shouldn't have to tell a story.
• 9:37
  Larry Wilson: I should just be able to say, look here.
• 9:38
  Larry Wilson: Yes, look here, it's fine.
• 9:40
  Larry Wilson: But the person who tells a story, they're always going to do more business because it's hardwired into our brains.
• 9:50
  Larry Wilson: We want those stories.
• 9:52
  Larry Wilson: And, you know, I I've mentioned before young screenwriters, there's always some young screenwriter who thinks, oh, I'm gonna blow everyone's mind.
• 10:02
  Larry Wilson: I'm gonna write an unhappy ending to this story.
• 10:06
  Larry Wilson: All young screenwriters think they're the first one to ever think of this.
• 10:10
  Larry Wilson: And sometimes they might be mildly successful.
• 10:15
  Larry Wilson: I can't think of one off the top of my head, but it's possible.
• 10:18
  Larry Wilson: But you want to see a film with a happy ending?
• 10:20
  Larry Wilson: Stream Rocky, Sylvester Stallone's breakthrough film.
• 10:24
  Larry Wilson: You'll see unbelievably powerful, well-crafted, simple story.
• 10:35
  Larry Wilson: Doesn't have to be big, complicated affair, doesn't have to be that at all.
• 10:39
  Larry Wilson: Rocky is so simple.
• 10:42
  Larry Wilson: He's a low-level boxer, he's a paluka who gets a chance at the heavyweight championship of the world.
• 10:53
  Larry Wilson: That's the whole story.
• 10:56
  Larry Wilson: Now, there are obviously other elements in there, but that's the whole story.
• 11:01
  Larry Wilson: I'm telling you, you will find yourself on the edge of your seat, and you may even find yourself yelling in excitement at the end of that film.
• 11:14
  Larry Wilson: Stallone, I don't know him, I've never met him, but he's a tremendous writer.
• 11:21
  Larry Wilson: Or was, I don't know if he's written anything recently, but boy, does he understand people, or he did when he wrote this, and I think it was probably very close to his heart, this film.
• 11:33
  Larry Wilson: And not because of the boxing.
• 11:35
  Larry Wilson: I don't know if he really ever boxed or not, but the idea of being nobody and getting a shot at being somebody that's a powerful, powerful story.
• 11:48
  Larry Wilson: And you can see it could be extrapolated in a lot of ways onto a lot of other situations, and it could easily be that has to do with your business.
• 12:03
  Larry Wilson: It could be that you came up with something very simple.
• 12:07
  Larry Wilson: And uh again, I'm not telling you to pretend or or say something that isn't true.
• 12:14
  Larry Wilson: I don't want that, but I think if you start to look at your real life experience through this lens of being able to share it with others as a story, you may say, Oh, yeah, I guess I'm sort of like the Rocky of uh, I'm gonna try and make up something absurd here, I don't know what it would be, of uh frozen yogurt.
• 12:39
  Larry Wilson: Maybe you cook or you created confections or something like this, and you came up with a fantastic recipe for frozen yogurt, and you opened a little frozen yogurt, maybe you couldn't even afford.
• 12:55
  Larry Wilson: I'm making all this up, so but maybe you couldn't even afford to rent a storefront.
• 13:01
  Larry Wilson: Maybe you just had a a rolling cart that you sold your frozen yogurt out, and maybe because this is this is what grips us when you show us the obstacles the hero has to overcome.
• 13:19
  Larry Wilson: That reaches into us, and you've got us now, because we've all had obstacles we've had to overcome.
• 13:31
  Larry Wilson: They're just different ones for everybody.
• 13:33
  Larry Wilson: For somebody, it might be learning to read if you have dyslexia, maybe that's the obstacle.
• 13:40
  Larry Wilson: Somebody else, it might be uh finding a group of people that you can be friends with, maybe that's the obstacle.
• 13:50
  Larry Wilson: Somebody else, it might be they need a million dollars to do some kind of deal, and that's the obstacle.
• 13:58
  Larry Wilson: But they're all the same.
• 14:00
  Larry Wilson: Do you see?
• 14:02
  Larry Wilson: It doesn't matter what the specifics are, the hero, and there should always be one person who's the hero, has a goal, something they want to achieve, and there are obstacles in the way.
• 14:15
  Larry Wilson: So when you present this as a frozen yogurt stand, maybe the city shuts you down right when you start to get successful because you don't have the proper licensing for a cart, and then maybe a big yogurt franchise opens nearby where you usually have your cart.
• 14:35
  Larry Wilson: Maybe there's a ton of, maybe there's stuff you need, maybe you need a special kind of milk to make the yogurt active.
• 14:43
  Larry Wilson: But you can see how if you look at it, there are real obstacles in the path to you achieving your goal.
• 14:54
  Larry Wilson: That's great storytelling.
• 14:56
  Larry Wilson: And AI will never be able to do this.
• 15:01
  Larry Wilson: It can't.
• 15:02
  Larry Wilson: It's not a person, it's not a thing, it's a machine.
• 15:06
  Larry Wilson: It's like saying, Oh, I hope my car can make a really nice spaghetti sauce.
• 15:12
  Larry Wilson: Well, it can't.
• 15:13
  Larry Wilson: It's just a car.
• 15:14
  Larry Wilson: What are you crazy?
• 15:16
  Larry Wilson: It's just a car.
• 15:16
  Larry Wilson: I mean, gee, I really hope my telephone can um make this new girl I met fall in love with me.
• 15:26
  Larry Wilson: It can't.
• 15:28
  Larry Wilson: Now, these machines can imitate stuff if we teach them, but they're not alive, they're not humans.
• 15:38
  Larry Wilson: That's our ace in the hole.
• 15:41
  Larry Wilson: That's our incredible, undeniable power.
• 15:45
  Larry Wilson: We're the humans.
• 15:46
  Larry Wilson: And this incredible stuff I saw last night in this film Pomegranate, it lives or dies on the storytelling.
• 15:54
  Larry Wilson: Young person, I'm saying he's young, I'm just guessing he must be, who created this, did an extraordinary thing.
• 16:01
  Larry Wilson: I mean, he really think about the first men to walk on the moon.
• 16:07
  Larry Wilson: Yeah, that's the equivalent of what this guy did.
• 16:10
  Larry Wilson: Is it perfect?
• 16:11
  Larry Wilson: No, it's not perfect yet.
• 16:13
  Larry Wilson: But I'm telling you, it's going to improve in leaps and bounds.
• 16:17
  Larry Wilson: It's going to be.
• 16:20
  Larry Wilson: It's going to be transformative.
• 16:22
  Larry Wilson: But his I suspect his storytelling is good.
• 16:27
  Larry Wilson: I suspect he himself sees there, there are a lot of suggestions in that film, Pomegranate, showing how much he understands the importance of having a hero, having a goal, and the obstacles to getting there.
• 16:44
  Larry Wilson: He clearly understood it.
• 16:45
  Larry Wilson: I don't know if it's consciously he understands it.
• 16:48
  Larry Wilson: You know, there's some people who are storytellers who just work by instinct.
• 16:52
  Larry Wilson: But when they hit those points, that's when they're successful.
• 16:57
  Larry Wilson: And I'm positive that this guy's storytelling is going to get better and better and better because he's human.
• 17:07
  Larry Wilson: And there was almost a suggestion in pomegranate that that was the thing that was missing from these artificial experiences.
• 17:18
  Larry Wilson: It was almost self-referential.
• 17:21
  Larry Wilson: Like the director writer was talking about what he was doing and how he felt about it.
• 17:29
  Larry Wilson: I may be reading too much into it, but that's how it felt to me.
• 17:32
  Larry Wilson: You'll see if you go and look at it.
• 17:34
  Larry Wilson: It's free online.
• 17:36
  Larry Wilson: If you look up pomegranate, I'm sure it's there.
• 17:40
  Larry Wilson: And like I say, in another couple weeks, it'll be a lot of people be talking about.
• 17:46
  Larry Wilson: So the point is that we humans have the ability to tell the stories.
• 17:56
  Larry Wilson: If you're a screenwriter or a fiction writer, or even a non-fiction writer, I guess, still up to you.
• 18:05
  Larry Wilson: If you're in business, still the same thing.
• 18:10
  Larry Wilson: You're still a fiction, I guess.
• 18:14
  Larry Wilson: Well, I'm hoping you're not telling people stories that are untrue and pretending they're real.
• 18:19
  Larry Wilson: Oh, yes, I'm a congressional medal of honor winner.
• 18:22
  Larry Wilson: Please don't do that if it's not true.
• 18:25
  Larry Wilson: If you are a congressional medal of honor winner, what a fantastic tale you have to tell.
• 18:31
  Larry Wilson: But that's, you know, that's so obvious.
• 18:34
  Larry Wilson: That's like saying Helen of Troy, most beautiful woman in the world.
• 18:38
  Larry Wilson: That's so much the peak experience, you know.
• 18:44
  Larry Wilson: It doesn't have to be.
• 18:45
  Larry Wilson: And that's part of the lesson of Rocky, is that nothing as grand as Congressional Medal of Honor winner.
• 18:53
  Larry Wilson: But you'll see.
• 18:54
  Larry Wilson: You'll see with all these things.
• 18:57
  Larry Wilson: But everything we talk about here, honing your ability to communicate, this is the future.
• 19:06
  Larry Wilson: This really is the future.
• 19:08
  Larry Wilson: And you've heard me talk about, I think there's a divide of people who are bad at communicating, and you see them on TikTok and stuff going, hey man, I mean, just like, I don't know, I mean, whatever.
• 19:23
  Larry Wilson: And you think, I don't really know what you're talking about.
• 19:26
  Larry Wilson: Well, versus people like me.
• 19:32
  Larry Wilson: I think my communication is very, very clear.
• 19:38
  Larry Wilson: I'm sure it could be better, but I strive always to keep improving it.
• 19:44
  Larry Wilson: But I think it's pretty clear at this juncture.
• 19:50
  Larry Wilson: I should also mention another precept of Wilson method that I often harp on is that you must ask for what you want.
• 20:02
  Larry Wilson: And this could not be more apropos than in regards to dealing with AI.
• 20:09
  Larry Wilson: It's not a person.
• 20:11
  Larry Wilson: Yes, it may be loaded with a whole bunch of information, but it's not we know because of our lives of growing up things that real people do when we talk to them.
• 20:23
  Larry Wilson: Unspoken things, semiotic information they may convey with a raise of an eyebrow or a downturn or downturn of the mouth or per all these little tiny things.
• 20:38
  Larry Wilson: Yes, AI can learn those and mimic them, but it's not a human being.
• 20:43
  Larry Wilson: So it's very important that we not assume that other people know what we're thinking, what we're trying to say.
• 20:54
  Larry Wilson: It's our job.
• 20:55
  Larry Wilson: It's our job to practice these tools to make it almost impossible to misunderstand us.
• 21:07
  Larry Wilson: Now, we're talking about AI, it may just have a blind spot about something because somebody didn't program it with that, and that's really beholden on you then to ask it.
• 21:22
  Larry Wilson: That's what those prompts are.
• 21:24
  Larry Wilson: You're asking it.
• 21:26
  Larry Wilson: I want you to blah blah blah, whatever it is you're asking.
• 21:31
  Larry Wilson: The clearer you are, the better you're able to paint a picture with words, the more successful you'll be, the better the result.
• 21:42
  Larry Wilson: Doesn't mean you have to hit a home run every time you're bat.
• 21:48
  Larry Wilson: How about just a bunch of singles?
• 21:51
  Larry Wilson: You give it a prompt, it returns something.
• 21:55
  Larry Wilson: Now you go back and say, that was pretty good, but I want it to be more like a manual.
• 22:00
  Larry Wilson: You clarify and clarify.
• 22:03
  Larry Wilson: And every time you keep going, I think the computer people call this iterations, but you might just call it versions of whatever it is you asked it to do.
• 22:16
  Larry Wilson: But the good news is, unlike a human who might get frustrated with you and say, hey, I've given you five versions if your communication makes what you're asking for.
• 22:27
  Larry Wilson: And I'll tell you something.
• 22:30
  Larry Wilson: Perfect example to wrap this up.
• 22:34
  Larry Wilson: Perfect example in real life.
• 22:36
  Larry Wilson: Many of you know, I'm the founder of a nonprofit here in northern Nevada that's devoted to fostering children's literacy.
• 22:47
  Larry Wilson: I have this crazy idea that it might be a good thing if kids learn to read.
• 22:52
  Larry Wilson: And everywhere in this country, they're not learning very well.
• 22:58
  Larry Wilson: Nevada's way down the list.
• 23:00
  Larry Wilson: There's so many kids in Nevada who are not reading at their grade level.
• 23:07
  Larry Wilson: It's dreadful.
• 23:08
  Larry Wilson: And of course, like anything else, it's not hard to do if you have someone to help you, to mentor you, to assist you.
• 23:17
  Larry Wilson: So I started this nonprofit called Education Renaissance of Nevada Initiative.
• 23:24
  Larry Wilson: We've been doing this big event called Spellbinders every year for the last 12 years.
• 23:30
  Larry Wilson: This year we'll be doing it first week of October, and it's free for the entire community.
• 23:34
  Larry Wilson: It's fantastic.
• 23:36
  Larry Wilson: But I have more board members this year who've been extremely helpful.
• 23:40
  Larry Wilson: And one of them said, you know what?
• 23:42
  Larry Wilson: We need to have a gala as a fundraiser, a dinner, special dinner, where we're able to raise money and talk about what we do.
• 23:50
  Larry Wilson: So I said, great.
• 23:51
  Larry Wilson: So we've put together this gala, which is September 8th.
• 23:54
  Larry Wilson: It's a five-course dinner, and then I'm bringing in these gold medal-winning close-up artists to perform at people's tables.
• 24:03
  Larry Wilson: And then there's going to be a whole special auction of some wild things that we've brought together from a bunch of different sources.
• 24:14
  Larry Wilson: It's going to be incredible.
• 24:15
  Larry Wilson: But we have to sell tickets to it to raise money.
• 24:18
  Larry Wilson: And the tickets are not inexpensive.
• 24:21
  Larry Wilson: Some of my board members have been stymied by this.
• 24:27
  Larry Wilson: They've sent out emails, and I've said this is great sending emails.
• 24:31
  Larry Wilson: I've managed to sell a number of tickets by asking people to purchase them.
• 24:39
  Larry Wilson: I mean, our nonprofit is a 501c3 nonprofit, which means that if you were to buy a ticket to the gala, it's tax deductible.
• 24:53
  Larry Wilson: I'm supposed to say to the fullest extent allowed by law.
• 24:57
  Larry Wilson: So my experience has been that it's not, uh please don't misunderstand, it's not the most efficient way.
• 25:04
  Larry Wilson: I understand sending out an email to 7,000 people who follow you on social media, that's reaching more people.
• 25:14
  Larry Wilson: I'm just not sure it's as effective when I speak one-on-one to people, or one-on-two, or one-on-three.
• 25:24
  Larry Wilson: They understand more of what we're trying to do with this nonprofit.
• 25:28
  Larry Wilson: They understand why we need money.
• 25:30
  Larry Wilson: They understand we're trying to raise money.
• 25:34
  Larry Wilson: And so we're putting together this spectacular evening, this gala, that will be really, I think, uh, it may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
• 25:45
  Larry Wilson: And that's when people seem to respond to me and say, okay, sign me up for two tickets right away.
• 25:54
  Larry Wilson: And I say, thank you very much.
• 25:57
  Larry Wilson: It's because I've asked for what I want.
• 26:01
  Larry Wilson: It's not just me telling them about the gala and crossing my fingers and hoping, it's me telling them, we really need your support.
• 26:10
  Larry Wilson: Here's what you can do.
• 26:12
  Larry Wilson: I really would like you to buy a couple of tickets.
• 26:17
  Larry Wilson: A woman I spoke to last night, I think, was talking about buying five tickets.
• 26:22
  Larry Wilson: And once she does, I'm going to reach back out to thank her and ask her if there's some more friends of hers who are also interested in helping children learn to read.
• 26:37
  Larry Wilson: Because if they are, maybe she can get them and they'll all be at one table and we'll have a special thing just at their table.
• 26:44
  Larry Wilson: There's all kinds of things we can do.
• 26:47
  Larry Wilson: But it's so simple, it works, and you can do it.
• 26:52
  Larry Wilson: It's as simple as that.
• 26:54
  Larry Wilson: To ask for what you want.
• 26:57
  Larry Wilson: And I hadn't planned to say that, but it's funny that it sort of comes full circle around you have to ask AI for what you want.
• 27:11
  Larry Wilson: You have to be very clear, very specific.
• 27:16
  Larry Wilson: You can't be vague or hemming or hawing.
• 27:19
  Larry Wilson: It's funny, isn't it?
• 27:21
  Larry Wilson: It works with humans, it works with machines.
• 27:25
  Larry Wilson: It's incredible.
• 27:26
  Larry Wilson: Oh, and I should sign off by saying, those of you, if if any of you are interested in coming to the gala, I'd love to have it.
• 27:34
  Larry Wilson: Oh my god, it would be fantastic.
• 27:37
  Larry Wilson: You can find out all about it at Nevada Shines.org.
• 27:45
  Larry Wilson: Thank you for being here.
• 27:48
  Larry Wilson: And if you have any questions, it doesn't have to be about the gala, could be about AI, could be about what we've discussed here.
