  Welcome in to another exciting episode of the scene.
• 0:04
  I am your host, Bubba Starts.
• 0:05
  And with me today from m two a I, my good friend, Ali Porter.
• 0:09
  Welcome to the show, Ali.
• 0:12
  Hello.
• 0:13
  Thank you so much for having me, Bubba.
• 0:14
  I really appreciate it.
• 0:16
  No.
• 0:16
  This is great.
• 0:17
  You know, we've been talking for the last several months.
• 0:20
  And as this AI ecosystem continues to evolve and change, We've been kind of in constant
• 0:28
  contact, at least when I'm home and in the office and not out gallivanting all around the
• 0:32
  world.
• 0:33
  So, before we get too far into everything, why don't you go ahead and and introduce yourself
• 0:36
  and the company and tell us a little bit about what you do?
• 0:39
  Wonderful.
• 0:40
  Thank you.
• 0:40
  I really appreciate it.
• 0:41
  So, yeah, my name is Ali, and I am from Fort Worth, Texas.
• 0:45
  I have four kids and a husky and a husband.
• 0:47
  I'm a busy busy mom.
• 0:49
  But at the same time, I love to help people to save time and money in their business and in
• 0:55
  their life.
• 0:55
  I own an AI agency called Millionaire Momentum with my business partner, Elise Smith, and we
• 1:01
  help to implement AI into your business whether you're a solopreneur all the way up to a big
• 1:05
  corporation.
• 1:06
  We're here to help.
• 1:08
  So
• 1:09
  Nope.
• 1:09
  And you've been helping a lot of companies lately with these agents that you have built,
• 1:14
  and it's really it's so interesting to me where this space has gone in just a short short
• 1:20
  amount of time.
• 1:21
  And as someone who uses AI on their podcast and in their social media and in everything really
• 1:27
  nowadays, it's it's mind blowing to me the power of this technology.
• 1:34
  Can you talk a little bit about specifically kind of the not you know, too specific on the
• 1:40
  agents themselves, but kind of the structure of what you are offering now to to companies?
• 1:45
  Yeah.
• 1:46
  So in the past, we created all these really cool agents, and we love them.
• 1:50
  Like, they're they're awesome.
• 1:51
  They do all kinds of really cool things.
• 1:52
  They're not just chatbots.
• 1:54
  They're actually agents that can do stuff for you.
• 1:56
  But they have names and they have like personalities and what they, you know, all the
• 1:59
  different things that they do.
• 2:00
  But what we found was that people just want their problem solved.
• 2:04
  Like they like the idea of a cool agent and stuff, really they just need the result.
• 2:09
  And so what we've shifted to is we now just really a la carte it.
• 2:13
  So we will give you a deep dive into your business.
• 2:17
  We'll figure out the holes or the things that you're struggling with, and then we will pair
• 2:21
  you with the perfect agents to help whatever it is that you need.
• 2:25
  And if you don't need it, we're not gonna offer it to you.
• 2:27
  Right?
• 2:27
  So it really has helped to to see what's possible because some people don't even know
• 2:34
  what's possible.
• 2:35
  And so that's why we do, we still have some agents on our site so you can check it out and
• 2:39
  stuff and see some, some options of what can what's possible.
• 2:43
  But we really, we really just want to get you results.
• 2:47
  And the thing that people get so worried about, and I don't know if you've had this in in your,
• 2:52
  experience, but but some people will say, well, I don't want AI to take over.
• 2:56
  I don't wanna lose the human connection.
• 2:58
  I want, you know, I wanna make sure that, you know, we're still, you know, people and all the
• 3:02
  things and and we're very much that way.
• 3:04
  We really believe the AI is here to enhance us, not to replace us.
• 3:08
  And so we're very much like where we wanna work hand in hand together, and it actually can
• 3:14
  allow you, if you use it correctly, it can allow you to be more human, more present, more,
• 3:20
  you know, be able to do the thing that you do best and only humans can do.
• 3:23
  Right?
• 3:24
  With AI doing all the back end stuff.
• 3:26
  Right?
• 3:27
  And so it's just a different way to look at it.
• 3:29
  Well and for me, RAI is, you know, podcast editing and doing so many things that, like,
• 3:36
  drive me crazy.
• 3:38
  Right?
• 3:39
  Like, I just the things that are sucking time away from me that I just don't I don't enjoy
• 3:44
  doing and that don't necessarily need a human touch.
• 3:48
  It's freeing me up to do more of this, right, to do more podcast interviews because I'm not
• 3:52
  spending four hours behind a computer then editing each episode out and and making all of
• 3:57
  these things.
• 3:58
  And I think there's so many things that don't necessarily need a human touch.
• 4:02
  I'm sounding like a transhumanist now.
• 4:04
  I know.
• 4:04
  But what would you say are are the biggest challenges you face when you're kind of in
• 4:10
  these deep dives with with people?
• 4:12
  Is it an understanding of what AI actually is, or is it a, you know, kind of a a personal fear
• 4:18
  of theirs of kind of that letting go to artificial intelligence?
• 4:23
  Yeah.
• 4:24
  I would say it's kind of a little bit of both, but I would say mostly mostly it's helping to,
• 4:30
  like, educate them on what's possible because we've done stuff that we've run businesses the
• 4:36
  same way for so long.
• 4:38
  Like, we've had automations, right, in place.
• 4:40
  We've had, like, other types of AI, but the way AI is now, we have not had.
• 4:46
  And so, I think helping people to understand what's possible to really like help them
• 4:52
  realize that the way like the process that they've been doing things, whether it's a
• 4:56
  podcast episode, whether it's operations, whether it's sales, whether it's whatever it
• 5:00
  is.
• 5:01
  The way you've been doing it, you don't actually have to do it that way.
• 5:04
  And or you can cut out a bunch of steps and now only do it this way and make it happen quicker
• 5:09
  and faster and more efficiently and you're not dropping balls as much and you're not feeling
• 5:14
  as stressed because you're able to rely on, you know, a, an artificial intelligence that never
• 5:19
  gets sick, and never calls in, and never you know, like that kind of thing.
• 5:23
  However, I will say that, the other piece to it that I found really interesting is that when
• 5:31
  you hear what people would love, when you hear from them what they're excited about or what
• 5:36
  would be a game changer for them, it gets the creative juices flowing because then we get to
• 5:41
  push the limits and see where AI can actually go.
• 5:44
  Sometimes AI can do what they're asking.
• 5:47
  Sometimes it's limited in some capacities and so we have to find workarounds or it's just not
• 5:52
  there yet, you know, and that's okay too.
• 5:54
  But it's super fun to be able to see their eyes light up and get excited about like, oh my
• 6:00
  gosh, you're telling me that I can get twenty hours back in my day, so now I can go, you
• 6:05
  know, or or in my week and so now I can go to my kids, you know, soccer practice and I can
• 6:10
  like go out with friends or I can like it's interesting because so many people think that
• 6:17
  and this is one of my big big big pet peeves is I don't want people to have that free time that
• 6:22
  they've been able to free up now with AI and go work more.
• 6:26
  Like, you can do you can do more with less.
• 6:30
  And I think that it would be better for us as a human race to be like, okay, I get my time
• 6:34
  back.
• 6:35
  Let me actually use that time to like spend it with family, hang out with friends, like, you
• 6:40
  know, read a book, go work out, like I don't know.
• 6:42
  Whatever it is that you wanna do because that is going to then enhance the rest of your life
• 6:48
  because now you're in your life and you're not just chasing the almighty dollar.
• 6:51
  The almighty dollar is gonna still come because you're being a better version of yourself, and
• 6:56
  that's how I see AI is really enhancing us and making us a better human because now we're not
• 7:03
  running ourselves ragged.
• 7:04
  And that's such beautiful statement from you there, very few people I feel like in the AI
• 7:09
  space are really talking about that.
• 7:11
  Obviously, you know, you're talking to marketers and business owners, and everybody
• 7:15
  wants to make more money, but we often at the expense of our own personal, you know, growth,
• 7:22
  really.
• 7:23
  Right?
• 7:23
  So Yeah.
• 7:24
  So I I think the same as you, Ali, and I love your approach to it.
• 7:27
  I know you're the less techy side of M2AI.
• 7:30
  You are the interpersonal side of the company and and kind of the face that's out there and
• 7:37
  connecting with people.
• 7:38
  Mhmm.
• 7:39
  And I I love your approach to it.
• 7:41
  You mentioned earlier, and I don't know if you wanna break the news here or not, but you're
• 7:45
  starting a new podcast as well that's kind of focusing on that side of it.
• 7:49
  Do you wanna tell us a little bit about your podcast?
• 7:51
  Yes.
• 7:52
  I'll tell you about both of our podcasts.
• 7:53
  So Elise, my business partner runs the Mastering AI Momentum podcast.
• 7:57
  And so that is for people who are, you know, you can be a solopreneur or you can be a big
• 8:02
  corporation, whatever, but you're really interested in, you know, building your business
• 8:07
  with AI, whether it's integrating it or whether you just love AI and it's cool or whatever.
• 8:12
  It's very AI focused.
• 8:15
  And so I highly recommend it.
• 8:17
  Really cool, cool interviews that that she does on there.
• 8:22
  The other podcast that we're coming out with is called Millionaire Momentum.
• 8:26
  The Millionaire Momentum Show and it really focuses on time and money freedom, and it
• 8:31
  focuses on everything I just shared where, yes, we talk about AI because we're super geeky
• 8:36
  about it and we love it and it's super fun.
• 8:38
  But we but we do it in a way where we wanna live you wanna live a full life.
• 8:43
  You wanna have that millionaire, life which is basically not just the money in the bank
• 8:49
  account, but you wanna feel rich in your relationships, in your health, in your
• 8:53
  marriages, with your kids, like you like even with hobbies, like what's a hobby?
• 8:59
  Like nobody knows what that is anymore, or it seems like a waste of time.
• 9:02
  Right?
• 9:03
  But that's not actually why God placed us on this planet, or why the universe created what
• 9:07
  it does.
• 9:08
  So we we need to get our lives back and that's what, you know, AI can help us do is get our
• 9:14
  time back and our lives back.
• 9:16
  But then don't don't waste it by continuing to, you know, keep moving forward.
• 9:21
  So that's what the new podcast is about is just helping people to create their new millionaire
• 9:26
  life from a holistic standpoint where it's like, yes, I love making money, I love being
• 9:34
  able to serve people, I love business, I love all of that stuff, but I also love to read a
• 9:39
  book, I also love to hang out with my family, I also wanna get in better shape, I also, you
• 9:43
  know, wanna walk my dog and be able to go on vacation and just enjoy the life that I have
• 9:48
  because we only have this one life.
• 9:49
  And I don't wanna spend it working all the time behind my computer, you know?
• 9:53
  Yeah.
• 9:53
  And especially working behind the computer.
• 9:55
  I mean, most of the time by, you know, most days by three a, you know, 3PM, my eyeballs are
• 10:01
  burning because I've been staring at a screen all day and doing it.
• 10:04
  And I just you know, I'm always looking for ways to make my life easier and to save time
• 10:09
  and to get that back.
• 10:11
  Now that the kids are back in school, I was like, well, I can spend a little more time in
• 10:14
  the studio.
• 10:15
  I don't need as much time.
• 10:16
  But, yeah, taking the summer to really just I was with my kids.
• 10:20
  Right?
• 10:20
  I'd work till maybe noon and then be able to take the rest of that day off, but that's only
• 10:24
  really because of the AI still being efficient for me in the background and doing all the
• 10:30
  things that I would otherwise be behind the computer doing that I was able to do that, and
• 10:34
  it just continues to get more and more powerful.
• 10:37
  Mhmm.
• 10:38
  Yeah.
• 10:38
  I mean, and it's been really fun to hear on your side, like, all the things that are
• 10:41
  happening, like, with your podcast stuff and, like I mean, guys, definitely check out what
• 10:46
  he's doing.
• 10:46
  It's so exciting.
• 10:48
  I mean, I'm just ugh.
• 10:49
  It's so cool.
• 10:50
  It's so cool.
• 10:50
  Because I I really and here's the other thing too that people could see as like, oh, well,
• 10:57
  the world is being taken over by AI.
• 10:59
  There's tons of AI agencies doing all of this stuff, but here's the thing.
• 11:03
  AI is AI.
• 11:04
  Right?
• 11:05
  But it's the people behind the AI that make the difference.
• 11:09
  And so if you wanna partner with Bubba for all of his stuff that he's doing with AI, if you
• 11:14
  wanna partner with us too, like, there there's enough for everybody.
• 11:19
  Like, and we all kind of have gone in our own little lanes of like what we wanna focus on.
• 11:25
  And so, like, ours is kind of more on the sales side.
• 11:27
  Like, we wanna help people with their sales.
• 11:29
  Right?
• 11:29
  But like, Bubba, you know, you like to focus on podcasting and all things around, you know, AI
• 11:34
  in that space and and a bunch of other things too.
• 11:37
  And so everybody can have like their own expertise within the bigger framework of AI,
• 11:43
  and it will never get saturated because you're not plugging into the thing itself.
• 11:51
  You're plugging into the person behind it because that's where the customer service
• 11:56
  experience is gonna come from.
• 11:57
  That's where the the actual experience of AI is gonna come because AI is just technology.
• 12:04
  It's just an implementation of technology.
• 12:06
  Right?
• 12:07
  It doesn't have a personality.
• 12:09
  It doesn't it doesn't care about you in that way.
• 12:12
  Even though you may think that your chatty PT does, which sometimes I do.
• 12:15
  I named her Sage.
• 12:16
  Right?
• 12:16
  Like, it's okay.
• 12:17
  I'll just be honest.
• 12:19
  But it's just technology.
• 12:21
  And so we have to remember that AI is awesome, but it will never replace the human being.
• 12:27
  And you're doing business with the human being, not with the technology.
• 12:32
  Exactly.
• 12:33
  I couldn't have put it more beautifully myself, Ali.
• 12:36
  What does the future of m two AI look like?
• 12:39
  You guys got any big plans or some new features coming out in the next three months, or is it
• 12:43
  just all, all hands on deck kind of getting this technology out into the public using the
• 12:49
  deep dive kind of methodology now that you spoke about earlier?
• 12:53
  Yeah.
• 12:54
  So it is all hands on deck now.
• 12:56
  We we've had a lot of, trial and error.
• 12:58
  I will be honest.
• 12:59
  I mean, it's a new industry, so everybody's just kind of figuring it out as we go, and
• 13:03
  everything changes so fast.
• 13:05
  Like, one day you can't do something and then the next day you can.
• 13:08
  And so we're it's just constantly staying up to date on what's coming out, what what is
• 13:12
  available, how, you know, how everything can be implemented better.
• 13:17
  So so now, yeah, we've just really figured out that the best way to help people is through the
• 13:22
  deep so if you are wanting to, you know, figure out where we can help in certain areas, we just
• 13:29
  hop on a call and we go through your business and we figure out we ask you a bunch of
• 13:33
  questions.
• 13:34
  We figure out, like, what it is that, you know, would light you up.
• 13:42
  You're excited about your business again and pretty pretty simple, pretty straightforward.
• 13:47
  Fantastic, Ali.
• 13:48
  Well, I appreciate you taking some time for me today.
• 13:51
  It was so good just to see your face and to get to chat, pre pro for a bit and to catch up.
• 13:57
  Can you go ahead and tell everyone where they can find you gals online?
• 14:00
  Yes.
• 14:01
  You can go to m2aiagency.com, and, you can also go to millionairemomentumlife.com.
• 14:09
  So we have two different types of our businesses where it's more AI focused, and then
• 14:13
  we have one that's more holistic of, you know, creating your millionaire momentum life.
• 14:17
  So, you can find us in both places.
• 14:20
  So we're
• 14:20
  really Well, Ali, thank you so much for coming on the show, and thanks for being part of the
• 14:24
  scene.
