0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome the Money and Wealth with John O'Bryant, a production
0:03
Speaker 1: of the Black Effect podcast Network and iHeartRadio. Hey, Hey
0:15
Speaker 1: is John Hope Bryant. And this is Money and Wealth
0:18
Speaker 1: and an exciting episode. I am talking about artificial intelligence
0:22
Speaker 1: once again, one of my very important focus areas for
0:28
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six, when there's a
0:31
Speaker 1: whole series, So buckle up. So I'm in my office
0:36
Speaker 1: downtown Atlanta, the offices for the Global Corporation. It was
0:46
Speaker 1: a time where everything happened here. It didn't happen at all.
0:51
Speaker 1: If you weren't sitting behind one of these computers, if
0:54
Speaker 1: you were not sitting in one of these cubicles, if
0:55
Speaker 1: you're not in an office mailite meeting, then nothing mattered.
0:59
Speaker 1: Didn't it didn't record, it didn't happen. You needed the infrastructure,
1:03
Speaker 1: you needed this system. And before this, there was another system.
1:09
Speaker 1: And now we're about to experience a whole new way
1:14
Speaker 1: of life through AI, and it doesn't require you to
1:19
Speaker 1: sit in this office building. Now we gather here for
1:22
Speaker 1: a different reason. It's building culture. I think culture is cool.
1:28
Speaker 1: I like making smart sexy, as you know, one of
1:30
Speaker 1: my phrases and I think that by getting people together
1:34
Speaker 1: and gathering it matters. But for you to benefit from
1:40
Speaker 1: the power of artificial intelligence, you don't necessarily need all
1:44
Speaker 1: this infrastructure that I have and that we've paid millions
1:48
Speaker 1: of dollars for. You can do this right from where
1:53
Speaker 1: you sit. I don't want you to be afraid of AI.
1:57
Speaker 1: I don't want you to be pushing away from the
2:01
Speaker 1: table because you're afraid that artificial intelligence is going to
2:06
Speaker 1: take your job. I'm thinking about people who occupy the
2:12
Speaker 1: seats of my company. I've told them, and I'm telling
2:16
Speaker 1: you what I told them. Your job's not going to
2:20
Speaker 1: be replaced by AI. Your job is going to be
2:24
Speaker 1: replaced by someone who can use AI, and I hope
2:28
Speaker 1: it's you as in them. But one thing that is
2:32
Speaker 1: absolutely the case. Everybody's got to become comfortable with artificial
2:36
Speaker 1: intelligence very quickly. This is not optional. It's not the
2:41
Speaker 1: cassette tape, this is not the DVD. This is not
2:44
Speaker 1: a movement to digital music or something. This is not
2:47
Speaker 1: even the Internet, which was quite powerful. You had an
2:50
Speaker 1: option whether you wanted to use it or not. This
2:52
Speaker 1: is not that there are no options. This is the
3:00
Speaker 1: new world, and I want to teach you. I want
3:03
Speaker 1: to inspire you to participate in it. So let me explain.
3:08
Speaker 1: Explain first where we came from, so that you understand
3:12
Speaker 1: how powerful this moment is and what it compares to.
3:16
Speaker 1: I've told you it doesn't compare to, you know, any
3:19
Speaker 1: other sort of transformations in American society. So let's we
3:24
Speaker 1: have to go back one hundred years. We have to
3:30
Speaker 1: come back one hundred and twenty five years, We have
3:34
Speaker 1: to go back almost two hundred years to give you
3:39
Speaker 1: a snapshot of with this moment looks like. Think about
3:43
Speaker 1: eighteen fifty the horse and buggy. Think about eighteen sixty,
3:48
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy, eighteen eighty, eighteen ninety, nineteen hundred. Those periods
3:55
Speaker 1: were defined by the horse and buggy. It was divined
3:59
Speaker 1: by the horse. The horse was machinery. The horse was luxury.
4:05
Speaker 1: The horse was wealth. The horse was transportation. The horse
4:11
Speaker 1: was flossing. Think about the Mercedes of this day. That
4:16
Speaker 1: was your horse. Think about your Louis Veuton, whatever it
4:22
Speaker 1: is that you think is flossing, that was a horse.
4:25
Speaker 1: Whatever you believe is wealth, that was horse. However, you
4:29
Speaker 1: brought in your crops, that was led by the horse.
4:33
Speaker 1: In fact, one out of ten jobs in eighteen seventy ish.
4:37
Speaker 1: One of our ten jobs was a fairire. A fairire
4:44
Speaker 1: is somebody who changes horseshoes. And my guess is a
4:51
Speaker 1: number of other jobs were tied to folks tied to
4:55
Speaker 1: the fairire. So the folks who gave the metal for
4:59
Speaker 1: the ho shoes or the iron, the folks who gave
5:03
Speaker 1: the staples or the mini nails, the tax the horse
5:11
Speaker 1: shoe hammer, all of the pieces, the medicines of case.
5:17
Speaker 1: There was an infection. A lot of industries ground up
5:21
Speaker 1: around a failure. This was everything. We got the word
5:28
Speaker 1: phrase horsepower from the horse being the center of our universe.
5:35
Speaker 1: But by nineteen oh one you had a surge of
5:38
Speaker 1: automobile companies, this new invention that showed up. But by
5:41
Speaker 1: nineteen ten you had one hundred automobile companies. A lot
5:45
Speaker 1: of them failed, by the way, but by nineteen ten,
5:49
Speaker 1: one thing was absolutely sure the most valuable use of
5:56
Speaker 1: the horse. I'm sorry to hurt the feelings of horse lovers.
5:59
Speaker 1: I don't mean this intentional. It's not personal. I'm just
6:02
Speaker 1: telling you what history says. The most valuable thing for
6:06
Speaker 1: a horse. By nineteen twenty or nineteen ten ish was
6:10
Speaker 1: glue as in horse glue or horse as glue. The
6:15
Speaker 1: automobile changed everything. So we're gonna go that took sixty years.
6:19
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. We're going to go from the horse
6:24
Speaker 1: being the center of the universe to the automobile that
6:28
Speaker 1: was sixty years to labor of human beings with the
6:33
Speaker 1: beginning of industrialization. We're going to go from being labor
6:38
Speaker 1: centric to technology centric in six years between twenty twenty
6:45
Speaker 1: five twenty twenty four. I really believe is when it
6:48
Speaker 1: started in twenty thirty. By twenty thirty, you won't recognize
6:52
Speaker 1: the world as we know it today. But don't be afraid, right,
6:56
Speaker 1: I want you to be empowered. I want you to
6:58
Speaker 1: embrace this. So I'm here to talk to you today.
7:01
Speaker 1: If you got limited times and you want your friends
7:03
Speaker 1: and listen to this episode, I want you to tell
7:06
Speaker 1: them to start around marker seven, minute seven where John
7:11
Speaker 1: Bryant gets into this. So the title of this podcast
7:16
Speaker 1: today is rebuilding the world with ai millionaire opportunities hiding
7:22
Speaker 1: in plain sight. Get out your pen or pencil, or
7:25
Speaker 1: your iPad or your iPhone or Android, whatever it is,
7:28
Speaker 1: you take notes on Le's time It's time to take
7:32
Speaker 1: the time to write the future of time for yourself.
7:38
Speaker 1: So start writing your business plan, because if you're not
7:40
Speaker 1: writing it is not real. What's the difference between a
7:44
Speaker 1: hustler and a businessman or a businesswoman? Paperwork, details, documentation.
7:51
Speaker 1: I want you to document this because this just might
7:54
Speaker 1: be one of the most important conversations in your life,
7:58
Speaker 1: because it's going to help you to pivot. Let me
8:01
Speaker 1: tell you what AI is not very quickly. It's not
8:03
Speaker 1: checking sports results. You can do that on it with
8:07
Speaker 1: an internet search. This is not a fancy internet search, right,
8:12
Speaker 1: this is the beginning of everything artificial intelligence. I use
8:17
Speaker 1: AI as my co creator in my life. That's right.
8:21
Speaker 1: I use artificial intelligence as a co creator in my life.
8:25
Speaker 1: So as I'm doing something, I turned the artificial intelligence
8:29
Speaker 1: to help me make up time, to quicken things, to
8:35
Speaker 1: cut through the haze. But I know what I want
8:38
Speaker 1: to get to, I know what I'm trying to solve.
8:41
Speaker 1: I use this global machine of artificial intelligence to help
8:45
Speaker 1: me get there. That's just that's my purposes. Now, let
8:48
Speaker 1: me tell you in a practical way. You I'm talking
8:50
Speaker 1: to you now, somebody who's not in an office building,
8:53
Speaker 1: not running a multi million dollar corporation. Not saying you're not.
8:56
Speaker 1: I'm saying this is the average person. What can you do?
8:59
Speaker 1: So let me tell you this quick story about a
9:02
Speaker 1: young man, and I want to give Gary Vee credit
9:05
Speaker 1: for inspiring me to do this. Is an example a
9:09
Speaker 1: young man or a young woman who's fourteen or fifteen
9:13
Speaker 1: years of age and they have mastered artificial intelligence. They
9:21
Speaker 1: have gotten this down. There are a techno geek, like
9:25
Speaker 1: I grew up being a techno geek. They're in a
9:28
Speaker 1: small town or a medium to do outsize city, and
9:34
Speaker 1: they're gonna start calling around to small businesses and saying,
9:39
Speaker 1: mister and miss a small business. You have a website
9:43
Speaker 1: that you paid four thousand and five thousand, maybe twenty
9:46
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for. Let's just pick a mental range. Five
9:49
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for that website five years ago, eight years ago.
9:53
Speaker 1: It's outdated. I can I will with the help of
9:57
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence and plugging you into e commerce like Shopify,
10:03
Speaker 1: et cetera. I'm going to redo your whole website and
10:06
Speaker 1: update it for five hundred dollars, so it costs you
10:11
Speaker 1: five thousand. I'm wanting to update it for five hundred.
10:17
Speaker 1: How many takers do you think that young man or
10:20
Speaker 1: young woman would get on that little idea. I'm gonna
10:23
Speaker 1: let you think about that for a moment, because if
10:26
Speaker 1: somebody had called me with that offer, as a hustling
10:31
Speaker 1: small business owner, who I don't have time to change
10:35
Speaker 1: my mind. I don't have time to check up check
10:37
Speaker 1: my website. I don't understand artificial intelligence. I'm trying to
10:41
Speaker 1: meet payroll, and I'm trying. I got too much month
10:44
Speaker 1: at the end of my money. I'm hustling from can't
10:46
Speaker 1: see in the morning, I can't see at night. I
10:49
Speaker 1: would say yes, sure, particularly if he sounded like he
10:52
Speaker 1: knew what he was talking about. If that young man,
10:55
Speaker 1: if that kid using AI two s like chat GBT
10:59
Speaker 1: my favorite. I'm co chair of the AI Ethics Council
11:01
Speaker 1: with my friend Sam Aultman are Wix, ai, wix, our Shopify, Magic,
11:08
Speaker 1: Right are all the other tools? Google and everybody else
11:11
Speaker 1: has their own tools now right? I would charge five
11:16
Speaker 1: hundred dollars if I was his kid, and I would
11:20
Speaker 1: see the business immediately lift and if the kid does
11:25
Speaker 1: ten of these a month, that's five thousand dollars. Do
11:31
Speaker 1: it for a year, that's sixty thousand dollars. This is
11:34
Speaker 1: middle class income. Now add some strategy. You've got a
11:39
Speaker 1: six figure business at a team, you've got a million
11:44
Speaker 1: dollar agency. Let me be very specific, because you know,
11:49
Speaker 1: I like math because it doesn't have an opinion. That's
11:51
Speaker 1: a melody hopsing quote that I have co opted, and
11:54
Speaker 1: I give her credit for it. She's a friend. If
11:57
Speaker 1: you did, if this young man or young woman and
12:00
Speaker 1: a medium sized city targeted this strategy on dominating this
12:06
Speaker 1: area of AI upgrading of software and did over the
12:12
Speaker 1: course of a year two thousand contracts for five hundred
12:19
Speaker 1: dollars each, which again these are not crazy numbers that small.
12:27
Speaker 1: That young man or young woman right would be a
12:31
Speaker 1: millionaire on paper. In other words, they'd have a million
12:33
Speaker 1: dollar revenue business at two thousand contracts. And that's one
12:37
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty contracts give or take a month. It's
12:42
Speaker 1: not unreasonable. One hundred and sixty contracts a month is
12:52
Speaker 1: about five new contracts, six new contracts a day. Now,
12:57
Speaker 1: you have to be really assertive to do that as
12:59
Speaker 1: a person, as an individual, But think if you had
13:01
Speaker 1: a team of three or four people doing this, three
13:03
Speaker 1: or four young people with endless, boundless energy, just walking
13:07
Speaker 1: door to door, knocking on doors, saying can I upgrade
13:09
Speaker 1: your website? Can outgrade your website? Sign here this new contract,
13:13
Speaker 1: can upgrade your website. Sign here, We'll schedule you. And
13:17
Speaker 1: then once you got three or four of these signed up,
13:21
Speaker 1: then you use that this credibility to go get some
13:23
Speaker 1: others signed up because you say, look, I've got Joe,
13:25
Speaker 1: Jack and Schmoe around the corner who've already has signed
13:28
Speaker 1: a contract with me. You couldn't show the contract privacy ruse,
13:33
Speaker 1: but you could tell the new client, the new perspective client,
13:36
Speaker 1: who the other clients were that have signed up to
13:38
Speaker 1: your business. And now the new ones want to sign
13:41
Speaker 1: up because you, oh, because the risk is already rung
13:43
Speaker 1: out of this model, You've gotten other people to take
13:45
Speaker 1: the risk on you, so they say, yes, I'll do
13:48
Speaker 1: it too. This is not a very complicated example, is it.
13:56
Speaker 1: What if I told you that everything around you, literally
14:01
Speaker 1: everything is about to be rebuilt with artificial intelligence with AI,
14:07
Speaker 1: and you can be the one to do it now
14:10
Speaker 1: I just gave you again. That was inspired by Gary V.
14:15
Speaker 1: But there's so many examples that you can now imagine.
14:20
Speaker 1: For yourself, and I'm going to help you with some
14:23
Speaker 1: of those. Listen, now, think about the great AI rebuild.
14:32
Speaker 1: Every industry, every tool, every process is being completely reimagined
14:41
Speaker 1: right now. The fear is out front in everybody's mind
14:45
Speaker 1: is because if you're a corporate leader today racing with
14:49
Speaker 1: your competitor, these are big companies now to invest in AI. Essentially,
14:54
Speaker 1: what you're doing is trying to become what they call
14:56
Speaker 1: it efficient, and there's a guest of it now. Artificial
15:00
Speaker 1: intelligence will increase businesses efficiency by about thirty percent. That
15:07
Speaker 1: means in the short term, extraction. It means anything that
15:10
Speaker 1: can be processed, remove it, repetitive process, remove it, replace
15:15
Speaker 1: it with automation, robotics, artificial intelligence technology, et cetera. That
15:20
Speaker 1: means people in the short term. So the fear in
15:22
Speaker 1: everybody's mind is I'm going to lose my job. And
15:25
Speaker 1: if you're in customer service or some of these low
15:28
Speaker 1: level fields, that might be actually the case if you're
15:30
Speaker 1: making six figures and the business that you're in can
15:34
Speaker 1: be processed. Then in time, if you're working for somebody else,
15:38
Speaker 1: that might mean you too. Yes, what did I say
15:42
Speaker 1: to you earlier? You're not going to lose your job
15:46
Speaker 1: because of AI. Are too AI, You're going to lose
15:49
Speaker 1: your job to somebody who can use A I'm want
15:54
Speaker 1: to teach you now how to use AI so you
15:57
Speaker 1: can make money and build wealth. The last time something
16:11
Speaker 1: like this happened to us was during the Industrial Revolution.
16:16
Speaker 1: That was a focus on machines. Through Internet Revolution, that
16:21
Speaker 1: was a focus on websites. By the way, I remember
16:27
Speaker 1: in two thousand when the Internet was a new rage,
16:32
Speaker 1: all the rage, I remember thinking I was going to
16:34
Speaker 1: change the name, literally change the legal name of Operation
16:38
Speaker 1: Hope to Operationhope dot org and Brian grew companies as
16:42
Speaker 1: it was called back then, Brian grew companies into briangrewcompanies
16:45
Speaker 1: dot com. That's how manic this was, which you thought,
16:50
Speaker 1: you have to change everything. It's all going to be
16:53
Speaker 1: Internet based, and it was a big shift for everybody,
16:58
Speaker 1: and we all know how or in the Internet is today.
17:02
Speaker 1: But that was over blown. I'm not sure that the
17:07
Speaker 1: current hype, if you want to call it that, on
17:10
Speaker 1: AI is actually over blown. I think it may be
17:14
Speaker 1: underestimated how much this is going to transform society, because
17:19
Speaker 1: it truly is another intelligence which in some ways outstrips
17:26
Speaker 1: for the first time ever a level, not all, but
17:30
Speaker 1: a level of a portion of human intelligence over time.
17:34
Speaker 1: We haven't gotten it yet, but one can see the
17:36
Speaker 1: writing on the wall. By the way, as an entrepreneur,
17:40
Speaker 1: I do not think AI will take my job right
17:42
Speaker 1: so as there are talents and tools that human beings
17:48
Speaker 1: bring to something that I do not think can be replaced.
17:51
Speaker 1: But anyway, that was the Internet revolution, the mobile app explosion,
17:55
Speaker 1: that's iPhones, Uber, etc. So these are some examples where
18:02
Speaker 1: a lot of things changed all at the same time.
18:06
Speaker 1: AI is bigger than all of these, But unlike those eras,
18:11
Speaker 1: the barrier to injury is now free or near free.
18:16
Speaker 1: Please please hear me. You don't need a factory. You
18:21
Speaker 1: just need to focus. There's your quota for the day.
18:25
Speaker 1: You don't need a factory. You need a focus and
18:28
Speaker 1: you need to focus. You know, racism is a big deal.
18:33
Speaker 1: We talk about it, discrimination, etc. My friend Van Jones,
18:38
Speaker 1: who's on the AI Ethics Council with me and I
18:40
Speaker 1: think he's underestimated in his brilliance, particularly this technology area.
18:45
Speaker 1: He said to me that of black folks, in his estimation,
18:50
Speaker 1: don't really know a thing about AI. Not their fault.
18:54
Speaker 1: But then he said, you know, it's also true that
18:56
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of white folks don't know a thing
18:59
Speaker 1: about AI either, So we're all equal opportunity discriminated against.
19:06
Speaker 1: Here this everything starts at a new baseline. But the
19:10
Speaker 1: access at the moment is basically free. Bottom up millionaire
19:20
Speaker 1: AI opportunities, Bottom up AI millionaire opportunities. These are some
19:26
Speaker 1: opportunities that anyone with hustle and curiosity can act on.
19:31
Speaker 1: No PhD required. Number one website upgrades for small business.
19:38
Speaker 1: Just explained that business, walked you through it, even walked
19:42
Speaker 1: you through a little of the math of how you
19:44
Speaker 1: can run a million dollar a year business, and basically
19:48
Speaker 1: you can control your market. Like look at do an
19:52
Speaker 1: evaluation in your town and your city, and your county
19:55
Speaker 1: and your community. Do an evaluation of how many small
19:59
Speaker 1: busines as there are where you live. You don't need
20:02
Speaker 1: a national platform, you don't need to be an international business.
20:05
Speaker 1: You can do this in the Caribbean, in a small
20:08
Speaker 1: community in one of the Caribbean nations. You can do
20:12
Speaker 1: this in a small town in South Carolina. You can
20:15
Speaker 1: do this in Alabama. You can do this in the
20:18
Speaker 1: Mojave Desert in California. You can do this in Buffalo,
20:21
Speaker 1: New York. You can do this in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. You
20:25
Speaker 1: can do this in the most rural areas of America.
20:31
Speaker 1: And you can control your marketplace with this one little
20:35
Speaker 1: business and create a business with an enormous profit margin
20:42
Speaker 1: on that five hundred dollars. I explained to you earlier,
20:45
Speaker 1: profit margin in that thing is about ninety percent. I
20:49
Speaker 1: mean as much as ninety percent. So they bought it
20:53
Speaker 1: for five thousand or more. The website. You can do
20:57
Speaker 1: it for five hundred. It may cost you fifty bucks
21:03
Speaker 1: to do everything you need to do. You want to
21:07
Speaker 1: hire people whatever and scale up. That maybe a different situation,
21:10
Speaker 1: but you see what I'm saying. There's just there's a
21:13
Speaker 1: lot of room there for you to be great wherever
21:16
Speaker 1: you are and make a living, dignified living in this
21:20
Speaker 1: new AI era. So in this example, you have AI
21:27
Speaker 1: powered redesigns, SEO updates, chat, bought installs, right you do,
21:35
Speaker 1: in my opinion, you plug in some e commerce again,
21:38
Speaker 1: I love Shopify as an example to that. You also
21:41
Speaker 1: have Amazon that does it, and so on and so forth. Walmart,
21:46
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they have an e commerce platform.
21:49
Speaker 1: You can lock it log into, but you should look
21:52
Speaker 1: at what they're doing because they do it as a
21:54
Speaker 1: best in class organization and maybe take some ideas from them.
21:58
Speaker 1: Number two Digital marketing revamps use chat, GPT and Canva
22:04
Speaker 1: AI to create better ads, better emails, social media strategies.
22:15
Speaker 1: Number three Digital marketing revamps was if you need me
22:22
Speaker 1: to go into that more. But that's an easy one
22:25
Speaker 1: for somebody who's running let's say an advertising agency, a
22:28
Speaker 1: public relations agency, anybody who's who is involved in marketing
22:35
Speaker 1: and pr. Again, this is not going to replace you.
22:38
Speaker 1: You've got to augment what you do so you're your
22:42
Speaker 1: own replacement. You're upgrading your own software so you can
22:45
Speaker 1: compete in the twenty first century because you want to
22:48
Speaker 1: be in this example, the example of loves gives. You
22:50
Speaker 1: want to be Netflix not Blockbuster. Right, Blockbuster could have
22:54
Speaker 1: bought Netflix for a very small amount of money. They
22:57
Speaker 1: got arrogant, got obnoxious through their nose up at Netflix
23:01
Speaker 1: told them to go away. Remember the Blockbuster dates on
23:03
Speaker 1: every corner every week, and over time, Blockbuster we're out
23:08
Speaker 1: of business. Netflix surged is one Blockbuster in the world today.
23:11
Speaker 1: So you want to be blocked. You want to be Netflix,
23:12
Speaker 1: not blocked Blockbuster. You want to be Amazon Walmart, not
23:19
Speaker 1: Seers and Robucks or Kmart that we're out of business.
23:24
Speaker 1: You want to be the iPhone today, not Kodak. So,
23:31
Speaker 1: if you're running a PR firm, a marketing firm, et cetera,
23:36
Speaker 1: an ad first, an AD agency, I want you to
23:38
Speaker 1: think about how you augment what you're doing with artificial
23:41
Speaker 1: intelligence to take you from good to great and competitive
23:45
Speaker 1: for the twenty first century. Number three, as I mentioned,
23:49
Speaker 1: create a local AI concierge service. This is so cool.
23:54
Speaker 1: Help older businesses and older business owners adapt AI for bookkeeping, scheduling,
24:03
Speaker 1: customer service, etc. Someone will pay you to do this.
24:10
Speaker 1: I guarantee you this is the case. This is a
24:14
Speaker 1: huge opportunity. I'm gonna repeat that creating a local AI
24:18
Speaker 1: concierge service will help help you help other businesses, older
24:25
Speaker 1: businesses right to adopt AI for bookkeeping, scheduling, customer service,
24:31
Speaker 1: and other essential services. Number four, there's a number of
24:36
Speaker 1: ways you can do that. You do as a consultant.
24:37
Speaker 1: You can do it as a cost saving analysis. Anyway,
24:42
Speaker 1: there is a huge, huge opportunity there. Both of America
24:46
Speaker 1: are small businesses. By the way they call it, the
24:48
Speaker 1: fortune five hundred because there's only five hundred of them, right,
24:52
Speaker 1: But there are literally tens of thousands of businesses in America,
25:00
Speaker 1: and you want to target the portion that's in your
25:05
Speaker 1: neighborhood or your community. Help them help themselves, and you
25:09
Speaker 1: do well and do good with good capitalism at the
25:11
Speaker 1: same time. Number four, start an AI tutoring and literacy
25:16
Speaker 1: class in your neighborhood, class or classes. Teach others how
25:21
Speaker 1: to use AI charge twenty to one hundred dollars per
25:26
Speaker 1: session per person. Again, pull out that calculator, do that math,
25:31
Speaker 1: not that revenue. This going to be your side hustle.
25:34
Speaker 1: By the way that you're nine to five financier five
25:37
Speaker 1: to nine, work somebody's job, get their health care, give them,
25:40
Speaker 1: give them good service. Rather they don't cheat on the
25:43
Speaker 1: good job. Deliver. But when you come home, you can
25:46
Speaker 1: then pursue your dream. And this is something you can
25:48
Speaker 1: do part time. Teach others how to use AI in
25:53
Speaker 1: charge twenty to one hundred dollars per session per person.
25:58
Speaker 1: Number five. AI powered resumes and LinkedIn makeovers help job
26:06
Speaker 1: seekers become future proofed. Number six write AI powered books
26:14
Speaker 1: and e courses. Use AI to help others tell their
26:18
Speaker 1: stories or share their knowledge. Again, you're comfortable with something
26:24
Speaker 1: other people are not. Don't wait two years to do this.
26:27
Speaker 1: The market will be flooded. I want you, if you're
26:29
Speaker 1: going to do any of this, do it right now.
26:32
Speaker 1: Be in a hurry, be excited about this, and master
26:37
Speaker 1: it before other people become comfortable with it. Number seven,
26:44
Speaker 1: reimagine the church bulletin. I just love this one. We
26:48
Speaker 1: can all relate to it because we all growing up,
26:51
Speaker 1: most of us went to a church and we knew
26:55
Speaker 1: how raggedy these church bulletins were. Reimagine the church bulletin,
27:01
Speaker 1: community newsletter or indoor community newsletter with a I digitize it,
27:09
Speaker 1: brand it logo for the church, a community group, make
27:13
Speaker 1: it interactive, sell it as a service. So you're gonna
27:18
Speaker 1: get them out of the paper business. By the way,
27:21
Speaker 1: we'll save some trees, stop polluting the earth. Maybe, and
27:25
Speaker 1: you're gonna get it. Because most people have a phone,
27:26
Speaker 1: they've got a digital phone. They've got you can put
27:30
Speaker 1: a you can put a you know, a code on
27:34
Speaker 1: the phone, I'm sorry on the pamphlet, a QR code
27:39
Speaker 1: that people can pull from to pull their pamphlet up
27:43
Speaker 1: at church or their bulletin. There are many ways to
27:47
Speaker 1: do this, but the point is everybody do these days
27:49
Speaker 1: has a digital phone in their hand, and so you
27:52
Speaker 1: don't even need to worry about what they's going to
27:54
Speaker 1: read it on. They've got something to read it on.
27:56
Speaker 1: You just need to move folks into the twenty first century.
28:01
Speaker 1: Launch a micro AI agency for local elected officials or nonprofits.
28:08
Speaker 1: I'm talking about speeches, strategy, email writing, grant writing, and
28:15
Speaker 1: you've become the hub for the new intelligence in the
28:19
Speaker 1: community for folks who want to do the work but
28:21
Speaker 1: understand the technology. They've confused business with busyness. They want
28:26
Speaker 1: to go out there and just sell and hustle, but
28:28
Speaker 1: they need somebody to be that back room business manager
28:31
Speaker 1: in that new world. That could be you. And you're
28:33
Speaker 1: not doing it for one business in this example, or
28:36
Speaker 1: one nonprofit or one elected official. But this example is
28:39
Speaker 1: elected official or nonprofit. You can have a range of clients. Okay,
28:44
Speaker 1: number nine, Start to fix my biz mobile AI consulting.
28:49
Speaker 1: Pop up a physical booth or truck where you offer
28:53
Speaker 1: quick AI solutions to small business owners you want to
28:57
Speaker 1: be mobile. Combine this with Uber if you like or
29:00
Speaker 1: do too. Give people rides and when you're not doing that,
29:04
Speaker 1: do a pop up with an AI fix my buzz
29:07
Speaker 1: mobile app business or mobile AI consulting business. A physical
29:12
Speaker 1: booth or truck where you offer AI solutions to small
29:15
Speaker 1: businesses and you move around again. People who don't like
29:19
Speaker 1: being stuck in an office and want to see new things,
29:22
Speaker 1: new places. Number ten, create an AI based voiceover or
29:27
Speaker 1: video business. You can use eleven Labs, Pictory that's p
29:35
Speaker 1: I C T O R Y, or other apps to
29:39
Speaker 1: offer a fifty dollars explainer video or ads from mom
29:44
Speaker 1: and pop shops. And there's so many more examples. I
29:51
Speaker 1: just gave you some that don't require, as I said,
29:55
Speaker 1: a PhD, don't wait to be hired by the future.
30:00
Speaker 1: I want you to create it for yourself. Okay, I'm
30:12
Speaker 1: gonna think I'm looking around my office now, just to
30:16
Speaker 1: take this to another level, I'm looking at this painting
30:20
Speaker 1: in front of me of an eagle. That photographer had
30:24
Speaker 1: to wait for the ego and take spend all day
30:28
Speaker 1: hunting for the right photo of the eagle, and I
30:30
Speaker 1: mean the right imagery of the egle, wait for the
30:33
Speaker 1: son to be in the right place, and he might
30:36
Speaker 1: have spend all day trying to maybe days hunting for
30:38
Speaker 1: the right situation. Now you can do this same photo
30:45
Speaker 1: in minutes with the help of artificial intelligence. But let's
30:49
Speaker 1: maybe you say no, no, I want to keep the creative
30:51
Speaker 1: process pure. Okay, that's fine, So let's step away from that.
30:55
Speaker 1: You still want to go out and photograph, photograph the
30:57
Speaker 1: ego in your own and frankly, I do believe anything
31:00
Speaker 1: is better than artificial anything, but the process of making
31:06
Speaker 1: the art piece itself, the photograph on the metal in
31:12
Speaker 1: this particular example, the backing, all of the creation of
31:16
Speaker 1: this art piece on my wall is going to be
31:19
Speaker 1: reimagined with AI. AI and microphone production, AI and picture
31:26
Speaker 1: frame production. I'm looking at my desk AI and water
31:31
Speaker 1: bottle production, AI and office supply creation and production, AI
31:39
Speaker 1: and furniture production, AI and television production and technology, AI
31:47
Speaker 1: and award production. AI and picture frames. I mentioned picture
31:54
Speaker 1: frames already, but I was talking about art. I mean, literally,
31:58
Speaker 1: everything in my office is going to be reimagined by
32:01
Speaker 1: somebody who gets obsessed with that thing. AI and sports
32:07
Speaker 1: AI and baseball within sports, and basketball within sports, AI
32:13
Speaker 1: and basketballs based balls in sports. Like literally, everything's gonna
32:19
Speaker 1: get reimagined with the help of artificial intelligence, because AI
32:25
Speaker 1: will make it better, more efficient, the process, the system,
32:28
Speaker 1: the way you go about it, and the product that
32:31
Speaker 1: gets output. On the other side, let me now talk
32:36
Speaker 1: about why most people will miss this. It will just
32:40
Speaker 1: miss it. It's fear. The worst thing to fear is
32:46
Speaker 1: fear itself. Let me remind you that. But it's fear,
32:48
Speaker 1: it's distraction. I talk about ignoring the noise in your life.
32:52
Speaker 1: You cannot create magic in noise. It's entitlement. I don't
33:00
Speaker 1: think this applies to you. You think that somehow the
33:03
Speaker 1: world's going to work out for you. Know. God helps
33:05
Speaker 1: those who help themselves. And it is biblical to be poors,
33:10
Speaker 1: not to not have anything, to be poors, not to
33:13
Speaker 1: not do anything. And lazy hands make a man poor.
33:16
Speaker 1: That's proverbs in the Bible. So God helps those who
33:20
Speaker 1: help themselves. I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to
33:23
Speaker 1: be an agent here of God to help you to
33:28
Speaker 1: get moving so you don't get run over when you're
33:32
Speaker 1: being run out of town. Get in front of the
33:34
Speaker 1: crowd and make like a parade. Can I get an amen?
33:37
Speaker 1: It's not even a religious comment, but so somebody, even
33:40
Speaker 1: though not even the person who doesn't believe in anything
33:42
Speaker 1: or anyone or God. Please say, man, this is everything
33:46
Speaker 1: so real. Talking seriously. I don't want you to have
33:49
Speaker 1: an entitled mentality. That's not good for you. I don't
33:52
Speaker 1: want you to be distracted. That's not healthy for you.
33:54
Speaker 1: I don't want you to be fearful. That's not you.
33:57
Speaker 1: You are great. Worse, is so some mighty just waiting
34:00
Speaker 1: for someone to give them permission. No one's going to
34:05
Speaker 1: give you permission. No one's going to sit you down
34:09
Speaker 1: and walk you through this unless it's one of these people.
34:11
Speaker 1: Is we've start a business based on one of these
34:13
Speaker 1: ideas and goes and consults with you in their neighborhood.
34:16
Speaker 1: But other than that, you're going to have to do
34:17
Speaker 1: this for yourself, and that if you don't do it now,
34:20
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the world's going to walk right past you.
34:23
Speaker 1: AI doesn't require you to be rich. I'm gonna repeat that.
34:27
Speaker 1: AI does not require you to be rich. This is
34:31
Speaker 1: mind blowing because for most other things, you've got to
34:34
Speaker 1: start with resources, money, connections, contacts. You've got to do something,
34:37
Speaker 1: you got to start with. You got to have some
34:39
Speaker 1: starting place. This makes this puts you at the same
34:41
Speaker 1: basic starting place as a multimillionaire, maybe even a billionaire.
34:46
Speaker 1: And maybe you're in a better position because you got
34:48
Speaker 1: hustle and you've got and you're hungry for success, and
34:50
Speaker 1: maybe they're not. Maybe they're just sitting around chilling. I
34:53
Speaker 1: tell you something about wealth. First generation makes it, second
34:56
Speaker 1: generation spins it, third generation loses it. That's historic over
35:02
Speaker 1: thousands of years. So if you have the hustle of
35:04
Speaker 1: a first generation entrepreneur, a small business owner or worker,
35:08
Speaker 1: somebody who's an immigrant or migrant, or somebody with just
35:11
Speaker 1: you know, bottoms up hustle, and you're willing to work
35:14
Speaker 1: from can't see in the morning, I can't see at night,
35:15
Speaker 1: and you're nosy, you're willing to get into this. How
35:18
Speaker 1: do you not succeed? Is what I'm thinking about. As
35:21
Speaker 1: my friend Tony Wrestler would say, if you don't quit,
35:24
Speaker 1: you can't fail. So AI doesn't require you to be rich.
35:28
Speaker 1: It requires you to be curious and consistent. This is
35:32
Speaker 1: the new pick and shovel economy. Be the one handing
35:38
Speaker 1: out the tools. Can I get an amen? I'm gonna
35:42
Speaker 1: repeat that, this is the new pick and shovel economy.
35:46
Speaker 1: Be the one handing out the tools. Doctor Dorothy Hyde,
35:50
Speaker 1: god wrestler Soul, once told me John, I like you
35:52
Speaker 1: because you're a dreamer with a shovel in your hands.
35:55
Speaker 1: I want you to be a drummer, a dreamer with
35:57
Speaker 1: a shovel in your hand. I want you to now
36:03
Speaker 1: have the right mindset to seize it. Okay, I want
36:06
Speaker 1: the work. I want you to have the right work
36:07
Speaker 1: ethic right, and in fact, I need you to have
36:10
Speaker 1: more work ethic than tech skills. Yes, this is different
36:13
Speaker 1: from science, technology, engineering, and math STEM. This is different
36:19
Speaker 1: from coding. This is different from the computer class that
36:22
Speaker 1: you needed, the coding classes that you took, where it
36:25
Speaker 1: took years and years and years and you had to
36:27
Speaker 1: get that right before we could do anything right. No,
36:30
Speaker 1: you don't need that with AI. I'm sorry you don't. Now.
36:33
Speaker 1: Computer skills may be better for other things like repairing
36:35
Speaker 1: the computer, and there's places where coders and people got
36:38
Speaker 1: these computer skills. They will have a job and a place.
36:41
Speaker 1: But for this that I'm talking about here, you do
36:43
Speaker 1: not need to be a tech genius. You need to
36:46
Speaker 1: have a work ethic that's undeniable, and some tech skills
36:52
Speaker 1: learn just enough to be dangerous. My friend Tim Burke
36:55
Speaker 1: would say, be dangerous from the neck up. I agree
36:59
Speaker 1: with him. In fact, I want you to be dangerous
37:02
Speaker 1: more than I want you to be famous. YouTube and
37:06
Speaker 1: chat GPT are your mentors. Focus on adding value to others.
37:13
Speaker 1: AI is the tool. You are the bridge. I hope
37:19
Speaker 1: you guys are writing this down. If you don't, rewind
37:21
Speaker 1: the podcast episode and listen to it with friends, listen
37:25
Speaker 1: to it with family, share it with those you love,
37:27
Speaker 1: pull out that pitted paper or that digital inc on
37:31
Speaker 1: your mobile device, and create a business plan for your
37:34
Speaker 1: life based on what I'm telling you. Number six, I
37:39
Speaker 1: want you to have a call to action, the AI challenge.
37:44
Speaker 1: Challenge your audience that's in front of you, your family members,
37:48
Speaker 1: your coworkers, your loved ones, whoever your audience is. Maybe
37:52
Speaker 1: the audience, by the way, is yourself. But challenge that
37:57
Speaker 1: audience to pick one of these idea. Let's start with
38:03
Speaker 1: the audience of you. Pick one of these ten ideas
38:08
Speaker 1: and try it for the next thirty days. Just give
38:11
Speaker 1: it a shot, and even if you fail, you'll fall forward.
38:14
Speaker 1: Even if you're not doing that, you end up doing
38:16
Speaker 1: something else. I guarantee you no different than the advice
38:19
Speaker 1: I give to people about Operation Hope and the coaching
38:22
Speaker 1: and counseling we do with Operation Hope, people who have
38:25
Speaker 1: taken me up on that their lives have been transformed.
38:28
Speaker 1: If I have never had somebody who said, I did
38:30
Speaker 1: what you told me to do about credit score, increasing
38:32
Speaker 1: your credit score or lowering debt, increasing savings, and I
38:34
Speaker 1: didn't end up a better person, less drama, less stress,
38:38
Speaker 1: more opportunity, more optionality, I didn't have, I mean more
38:42
Speaker 1: self esteem. I've never met anybody who did what I
38:45
Speaker 1: instructed them to do and their lives have not been transformed.
38:49
Speaker 1: I can stop every day by people who tell me
38:51
Speaker 1: Operational is transform their lives. There'll be a special announcement
38:55
Speaker 1: soon coming from Operation Hope where we're going to expand
38:58
Speaker 1: the work or work of literacy and include AI literacy
39:03
Speaker 1: with it. Stay tuned for that. In the meantime, check
39:06
Speaker 1: out the AI Ethics Council that Sam Altman and I
39:09
Speaker 1: co chair. Check out the AI LP three, our partnership
39:12
Speaker 1: with Georgia State University and Mayor Andre Dickens and the
39:15
Speaker 1: Atlanta Public Schools. That's some primer work for the work
39:19
Speaker 1: to come. But I want you to just fall forward,
39:22
Speaker 1: don't be afraid, don't let the perfect become the death
39:24
Speaker 1: of the good. Just step into this world. Invite people
39:29
Speaker 1: you love to try to try this, and then collaborate
39:34
Speaker 1: with you in a bit of an informal club. And
39:37
Speaker 1: I want you to DM each other. I want you
39:39
Speaker 1: to tag each other on social media with the tagline
39:43
Speaker 1: write this down AI Rebuild challenge right, And I'm going
39:49
Speaker 1: to be looking for that over the next weeks and months.
39:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be looking for the AI Rebuild challenge and
39:54
Speaker 1: the rebuild is you right? But I want you to
39:56
Speaker 1: infect your friends and those you love with this new mindset,
40:01
Speaker 1: starting with you. So one year from now, you could
40:06
Speaker 1: be telling me you made your first one thousand dollars
40:10
Speaker 1: or your first one million dollars. What you do today
40:15
Speaker 1: will decide that here's some tools for the trade for you.
40:21
Speaker 1: Which tools should you use? First of all, and very
40:23
Speaker 1: much like we do it Operation Hope in the banking
40:25
Speaker 1: actor area, I don't tell you what to invest in.
40:28
Speaker 1: I tell you how to invest I don't tell you
40:29
Speaker 1: what banking products or what bank to use. We give
40:31
Speaker 1: you options and you choose. I'm not going to tell
40:34
Speaker 1: you which things or companies to use. But I'm going
40:37
Speaker 1: to tell you ones that I think are credible, and
40:38
Speaker 1: then you decide what you want to use. Here's some
40:41
Speaker 1: quick fire AI tools to start with. My favorite chat Ept, Canva, Magic, Durable,
40:54
Speaker 1: dot Co that's instant Websites, Durable, dot coeo, Pictory Slash,
41:06
Speaker 1: Runway Email that's AI Videos, eleven Labs as Voice AI,
41:14
Speaker 1: Opus Clips short Form Video, Opus Clip Agent, gt, GPT Agent, GPT, Godmode,
41:27
Speaker 1: dot Space. These are build agents. So for that kid
41:31
Speaker 1: business I told you about, I give you an example
41:34
Speaker 1: here of a tool you can use. You tell me
41:39
Speaker 1: in the comments when you see that this is a
41:41
Speaker 1: clip on social media, you tell me which one of
41:44
Speaker 1: these apps you use to start that website upgrading business.
41:49
Speaker 1: I want you inspired and educated. I want you to
41:52
Speaker 1: have a PhD and a PhD too right. I want
41:56
Speaker 1: you to have agency in your life. I want you
41:59
Speaker 1: to have hustle and belief, and I want you to
42:03
Speaker 1: understand the free enterprise system and capitalism can work for you.
42:09
Speaker 1: I want you to understand that the AI is for everyone,
42:12
Speaker 1: not just for coders and techies. I wanted to give
42:16
Speaker 1: you today some practical action steps, not just theory. I
42:24
Speaker 1: hope that you felt empowered by this. I hope that
42:26
Speaker 1: you feel that there's something in here for you. If
42:30
Speaker 1: you want more on this topic, let me know and
42:33
Speaker 1: let me know what you want me to cover, and
42:35
Speaker 1: I'm happy to do that. I plan on doing this
42:38
Speaker 1: as a series already have in mind episode two in
42:43
Speaker 1: this series, but you tell me what you want me
42:47
Speaker 1: to focus on. And also, I'm bringing back a couple
42:49
Speaker 1: friends from a very popular AI episode I did with
42:53
Speaker 1: them because I think that they can add some context
42:58
Speaker 1: for the larger discussion of how this is going to
43:02
Speaker 1: change our world by twenty thirty. So they're going to
43:06
Speaker 1: give you some theory and some strategy and some perspective
43:09
Speaker 1: when I come back with Van Jones and others for
43:12
Speaker 1: that conversation, go back and read, read, watch the prior
43:16
Speaker 1: episode we did. It's in season two this year, and again,
43:20
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a regular diet of this
43:23
Speaker 1: so that I walk you into the future, so that
43:25
Speaker 1: you're not afraid. I want you to be bold, I
43:30
Speaker 1: want you to be audacious. I want you to believe
43:32
Speaker 1: in yourself. I didn't know a thing about AI two
43:35
Speaker 1: and a half years ago, and now I use it.
43:37
Speaker 1: I don't know thirty fifty times a day as my
43:41
Speaker 1: co creator. I have one just to wrap this up.
43:44
Speaker 1: I have one product I used by plot Plaud, and
43:50
Speaker 1: I use it to record staff meetings and to record
43:55
Speaker 1: my ideas on the run. It's not just a transcription.
43:58
Speaker 1: It's artificial intelligence. One's powered by chat GBT and it
44:02
Speaker 1: will take my meeting or my comments on the run.
44:06
Speaker 1: It will summarize it. It'll give me a mind map
44:09
Speaker 1: of it. It'll give me a transcripts of the meeting.
44:12
Speaker 1: It'll tell me what my to does are, who I
44:14
Speaker 1: met with, what I promised them, the names I forgot
44:19
Speaker 1: after the meeting. It remembers. It gives me a to
44:21
Speaker 1: do list of what I need to follow up on.
44:24
Speaker 1: So you see, AI is not going to take your
44:26
Speaker 1: job or do your job, but it will make it
44:27
Speaker 1: easier for you to be excellent at your job or
44:31
Speaker 1: your chosen profession. And if you don't do this, you
44:33
Speaker 1: can easily see I think why somebody else doing a
44:38
Speaker 1: job even have baked with AI will clock you doing
44:42
Speaker 1: your job excellent without it. This is John O'Briant. I'm
