Now let's jump in. who

2:01

is intent on learning it's a

2:03

really fascinating exploration of

2:05

human potential now the

2:10

founder podcast even

2:12

the greatest entrepreneurs had help if you want

2:14

to learn from the most successful founders

2:16

on the planet you are in the

2:19

right place is

2:33

not your average entrepreneur podcast

2:36

founder podcast we've

2:43

got a true icon that

2:46

I've been following his work for a while

2:48

now I'm excited to have him part of

2:50

this incredible

2:53

virtual conference so

2:55

Dominic okay mr. grateful the

2:58

first question that ask everyone that comes on

3:00

is how did you get your job okay

3:02

how'd you find yourself doing the work you're

3:04

doing today what is my job

3:07

I guess is how I would start

3:09

how I would define that my

3:12

job is to right now create

3:14

content I'm a content creator I'm

3:17

a tech entrepreneur but

3:19

honestly I don't feel like I have a job I

3:22

feel like I am of service I serve

3:26

people by inspiring them like through my

3:28

creations and how I

3:30

came about doing that is by creating I kind

3:33

of trust the downloads that come to

3:35

me and I act on them but

3:38

now how I make money I

3:40

guess would be the job question

3:42

is by multiply the impact

3:44

of the things that I'm creating and

3:49

I think that what's valuable from that

3:51

is the inspiration and kind of giving

3:53

people knowledge that they think that they

3:55

can't find elsewhere And I

3:57

started doing that by removing. Removing.

4:02

My ego. And. Teaching people

4:04

saying that. I. Knew they couldn't

4:06

get elsewhere and giving people. Answers

4:09

that I needed myself. And

4:12

that all started from what I just turned on

4:14

a camera on my song and I posted my

4:16

for his video on Instagram. And.

4:19

Ah, that was only. Four.

4:21

Months ago. And. Right now

4:23

I have three hundred thousand followers on Instagram

4:26

and my life has completely changed and. A

4:28

lot of other people's lives are changing the process out.

4:31

How I came about doing that was

4:33

starting. To. Post Content in

4:35

Removing My ego. From

4:37

my creative process. So

4:40

used to run an agency before

4:42

but then you wince am basically

4:44

all the non a. And.how

4:47

I sound you was are

4:49

actually you find this interesting?

4:52

I found you see months

4:54

ago before we connected. I'm.

4:57

In. A Y P O group chat. Were.

5:00

One. Of my body said hey, have

5:03

you heard of this guy who's

5:05

trying to build a new one dollar

5:07

business just from using I And

5:09

then I went down this rabbit hall

5:12

and ah sound out that you

5:14

grew. Like to I think

5:16

was a hundred and fifty thousand plus

5:18

followers in a month just using I.

5:21

And. Then not yeah. Been following in

5:23

a sand to be content of the

5:25

scene so I'll have to. Just like

5:28

gets dry to a man like can

5:30

you tell us about kind of how

5:32

you grew your social following just using

5:34

I in thirty days? Like what did

5:36

that look like. Yeah. So

5:38

when I first started on Instagram.

5:41

I made about four posts and

5:43

I started at three thousand followers.

5:46

And. i made about three posts

5:48

and i think something clicked for somebody

5:50

who ran a page called shadier beauty

5:52

tricks i immediately started talking about a

5:55

i and i was giving people little

5:57

tips about how to use artificial intelligence

5:59

i forget My first video was

6:01

when Dolly 2 came out and

6:03

what you could do is you could insert a picture and

6:06

then you could kind of hover over an area where

6:08

the picture was cropped off and you could generate the

6:10

rest of the Picture and at the

6:12

time this is when image generation was first

6:14

becoming mainstream and people were pretty surprised by

6:16

that So, you know that

6:18

immediately kind of got me on the radar and

6:21

someone saw me Who ran a page

6:23

with about two hundred thousand followers at the time and they

6:25

were like, hey Do you want to collaborate on a post

6:28

now somebody with 150k at that time when

6:30

I went 3k was very and you know

6:33

Impactful to me. So we collaborated and I

6:35

got me another few thousand followers

6:37

in the next couple of weeks But

6:40

I knew that the rate of growth there

6:42

wasn't as fast as I wanted to I needed to

6:44

make massive change in my life at the time So

6:48

I had seen three pieces of inspiration that

6:51

I did not know we're going to come

6:53

together So first this this one

6:55

guy on Twitter

6:57

said that he was going to create like a hustle

6:59

GPT It was gonna try to make a bunch of

7:01

money from like a hundred dollars just let chat GPT

7:03

tell him what to do and

7:05

then there is I then I had a conversation with

7:07

an agent from California and he

7:10

was telling me how like the whole influence or

7:12

economy works and everything and then

7:15

third There's this man who

7:17

tried to learn a new skill every single day

7:19

and then post about it So

7:21

one day when I was meditating these three

7:23

points kind of came together just

7:26

they snapped and I

7:29

thought agent GPT I

7:31

can use Artificial intelligence to help me

7:33

with my social media. I had been trying

7:35

to grow on social media for years I

7:38

tried doing the whole like hype beast thing where I

7:40

was buying a bunch of expensive clothes and taking pictures

7:42

in it trying To make that work. I

7:44

was teaching I was a you know doing like

7:46

the carousels where I was having like, you

7:49

know Informational slides where I would go back. Yeah,

7:51

you know you would swipe and then get a

7:53

new piece of information each slide That

7:56

didn't work You know,

7:58

and then I tried doing some very artistic. Things because

8:00

I will. I've always been good with design that

8:02

didn't work so I had given up. You know

8:04

another are this is my last straw. Well.

8:08

Often those three piece of inspiration came

8:10

together. And. I

8:12

lost it and I just said i'm gonna

8:14

use artificial intelligence to help me get one

8:17

hundred thousand followers and thirty days was the

8:19

if it works if it does it normally

8:21

of out of the she saw I tried

8:23

right. Well.

8:26

Out! I immediately got a

8:28

million views on that first

8:30

video. And. Every

8:32

day. After that I was getting about. First.

8:36

I start to get about one thousand followers a

8:38

day than it was two thousand. There was three

8:40

thousand. And then come day

8:42

like ten, I'm getting ten thousand

8:44

followers per day. At. A

8:46

really have for me that was actually going to work when I made

8:48

it halfway through. And. What I was

8:51

doing was. I. Was

8:53

giving Shadier Be t all of the

8:55

information about me already. So I was.

8:57

I was telling it's who I was,

9:00

the type of creator I wanted to

9:02

be. I was giving it context about

9:04

who I am. Which. Is a

9:06

crucial step the some people miss. Ah,

9:08

They kind of expect this a linear relationship

9:11

with artificial intelligence where you tell it to

9:13

do something and they should do it right

9:15

the first time. But. It's artificial intelligence.

9:17

It's not absolute intelligence so you have to

9:19

give it information yet the give good data

9:22

in the dead out and gonna have the

9:24

circular relationship with a i almost like ping

9:26

pong or tennis back and forth. So.

9:28

I started to give it information about myself.

9:31

And in every single day. I

9:33

would give it a transcript of is a real

9:36

that I made. And. In the

9:38

metrics of how that real performed like

9:40

my likes my views, my comments my

9:42

shares a saves all of that it

9:44

was start a pair these things up.

9:46

So. After about a week I could start

9:49

asking shadier be t hey what has worked

9:51

so far. And wide it at

9:53

work in a started to. Connect.

9:55

Some dots and find the patterns. And

9:58

then at that point. That had information

10:00

about myself in law was working I could

10:03

didn't ask it. Can you write a script

10:05

about this topic based on what has worked

10:07

in the past. And. This is like

10:09

that snowball effect. It started to happen. Where.

10:12

I'm where people were starting to connect with

10:14

me and understand who I was so my

10:17

gaze what was going up it all. It

10:19

was streamlining the consecration process because the I

10:21

was starting to learn me alone what works

10:23

such as overtime it snowballed and by day.

10:26

By. Day Twenty two we had

10:28

retired thousand followers. In

10:30

you. Right now I'm at three hundred the a

10:32

little over three undergo. Yeah, crazy

10:34

and I know there's like a lot

10:37

more common nuances into that we can.

10:39

Are you going to go through an

10:41

hour? I excel of write a program

10:43

you teaching part of but some. Like.

10:47

Easy just chat gp t that you

10:49

use or is it. Is. It's

10:51

I pod like like what is

10:53

what is your preferred to yeah.

10:56

Yeah. Well, I have preferred to

10:58

based on what I'm actually trying to

11:00

do. So. I do use multiple.

11:03

I use a suite of tools throughout my

11:05

day. But. It all depends on what

11:07

I'm trying to do. So if you're talking about

11:09

large language models like Chad to be T. I'm.

11:12

Essentially okay, I use three

11:14

different. Types. I used

11:16

to be t i use board. And

11:19

I use cloud. And

11:21

I also use pie unless you have any bias

11:23

out of pie. But I use pie well and

11:25

I can. Can I tell you about that? So.

11:27

I. Said to be T for

11:30

my more creative endeavors. Are

11:32

things that are going to require

11:34

strategy In reasoning I use as

11:37

you bitty, It's superior in that

11:39

way. It

11:41

for example, a can. It can solve riddles.

11:44

Were. As other platforms have a really

11:46

hard time connecting those dots and

11:48

making. A Making conclusions on

11:50

their own given multiple problems in one.

11:52

prompt. So I use that

11:55

for maybe scripting, cotton ideas and things. That.

11:58

are used flawed for

12:01

longer documents, for let's

12:03

say research papers when I'm trying to research a new

12:05

AI tool and I need to understand it better sometimes

12:08

these documents and these web pages are you

12:10

know 20 pages long and

12:14

also for contracts a

12:16

lot of contracts that I deal with are multiple

12:18

or many pages long and

12:21

I use Claude for this because Claude has a large

12:24

token limit and what a

12:26

token is is you can essentially think as one

12:28

token is like four characters of text so

12:31

chat GPT can process around 32,000

12:35

tokens at a time or Claude can process

12:39

100,000 so I'm able to basically upload a

12:41

book you could you could upload the equivalent

12:43

of like a Harry Potter book into Claude

12:45

and It can process all of that text

12:47

So for longer pieces of information I use

12:50

Claude and then I use

12:52

Google bard for things that I need a

12:54

direct connection to the internet with In

12:57

the past chat GPT did not have Web

13:01

browsing it has opened up to some

13:03

beta users, but it isn't always there So

13:06

I've started to use Google bard for

13:08

things that require an internet

13:10

connection so Those

13:13

are the three tools that I use and

13:15

it just depends on What type of

13:18

thing that I'm actually trying to achieve in that

13:20

moment? Hmm interesting

13:23

so you grew your social

13:25

following you in 30 days very very

13:27

fast over a hundred thousand and Basically

13:33

you didn't stop there Then

13:35

you started this founder GPT initiative. Can

13:37

you tell us about that how that

13:39

all came about and like Yeah,

13:41

what what was the how this project come about

13:44

and where is it at currently? Absolutely,

13:47

so I started founders you BT after

13:49

I had achieved with agent GPT. I

13:51

just I have this I

13:56

have this obsession to make people's

13:58

eyes go really wide and make

14:00

them say wow and kind of break people's

14:02

mental frames and I

14:04

just try to think of what is the next

14:06

thing that would make somebody

14:09

have that moment for themselves

14:11

that realization like oh wow I didn't know

14:13

that was possible and then make them realize

14:15

it was. I kind

14:17

of make myself the guinea

14:20

pig for situations like that

14:22

so that I can break other people's mental frames

14:24

and make them think wow maybe that's possible for

14:26

me and the

14:29

next step for me that a lot of people

14:31

have been asking after I got in this following

14:33

is how do you like how do you

14:35

actually monetize that though so that

14:37

was my next step I just thought okay how do

14:39

I monetize this I don't know I haven't been doing

14:41

before so agent

14:44

GPT you know AI helped me with my

14:46

social media maybe AI can help me with

14:48

monetizing as well and it has since

14:51

I started it I made a little over

14:53

a hundred thousand dollars just from just

14:56

from the help that founder GPT has

14:58

given me through

15:00

that revenue stream of just like

15:02

working with founder GPT and

15:05

trying to come up with revenue stream ideas

15:08

and using AI to help me I made

15:10

a little over a hundred thousand dollars you

15:12

know and I've done that

15:15

with the help of challenge GPT and a

15:17

few other tools that I can get into

15:20

and the whole goal of this was to

15:22

see if I can make a million dollars

15:24

only using artificial intelligence as the co-founder of

15:27

my business so without

15:30

there was this quote that I heard from Peter

15:32

Thiel and he said we

15:34

don't invest in ideas

15:37

we invest in teams we

15:40

don't invest in solo entrepreneurs we

15:42

invest in teams of entrepreneurs I

15:44

thought okay I've always had a personality though

15:47

where I want to make you

15:49

know choices fast I want to do it on my terms

15:51

and I want to just I want to get moving with

15:53

things I want to I want to move in whatever direction

15:56

of the downloads that I'm given at the time and

15:59

that's really really hard to do sometimes when you have a

16:01

large team and you're breaking up equity and

16:03

ownership and all that. So I

16:05

just thought well AI doesn't really have

16:07

any agenda of its own, it doesn't want equity,

16:10

it just wants to help. So I thought well

16:12

okay well maybe AI can help me you

16:14

know run this business and

16:17

it has come up with revenue

16:19

stream ideas, it has told

16:21

me, it has helped me with my financial projections,

16:23

it's helped me with my branding, it

16:26

has helped me come up with products,

16:30

it has helped me with just the overall marketing

16:32

strategy of actually how to execute all of it

16:35

and it's actually been working. So it's

16:39

working slower than I anticipated but

16:43

it was more my fault than founder GPT's

16:45

fault. You know we can get into

16:47

that if you want but yeah

16:49

so that was the goal is just to make

16:51

a million dollars with AI and we're still on

16:53

course to do that. We have 90% more to

16:55

go. Awesome

16:58

and like tell me about

17:00

how it's been more your fault

17:03

than chat GPT. Well

17:07

I haven't said any of this in public yet, I

17:09

haven't like said anything about it but the

17:12

thing that got

17:15

me my success was

17:17

my selfless

17:22

transparent content creation

17:26

and what happened when I started

17:28

founder GPT is every single day

17:30

my vision would get bigger and bigger and

17:32

bigger and bigger and I

17:34

started to realize okay it's not just this

17:37

isn't just about doing a brand deal, I can

17:39

also do brand deals and build tools with these

17:41

companies. Oh it's not just

17:44

about building tools with these companies, I

17:46

can build my own internal tool and

17:48

try to revolutionize education completely. So

17:52

the whole idea was to what founder

17:54

GPT told me was I can make

17:56

money five different ways. I

17:58

could have brand deals,

18:01

I could I could

18:03

sell a course, I

18:06

could make my own product,

18:09

I could there were like

18:11

two other ones and I just decided okay

18:13

I'm gonna bring all five together and

18:16

what I decided to do was build this platform

18:18

where people could go on and watch

18:21

educational content while

18:24

having an AI tutor modeled

18:26

after the human teachers help

18:29

them through the content to create personalized

18:31

it you know education and

18:34

that's a huge endeavor. My first

18:36

concept was to make this million dollars in a hundred days

18:39

that's ambitious and then

18:42

I decided I'm gonna do it by creating

18:44

a revolutionary tool. Well when

18:46

I when you become a founder of a

18:49

company at that scale you

18:51

are spread very thin you have to you have

18:53

to hire teams, you have to be a project

18:55

manager, you have to do your marketing, you have

18:57

a lot of things to do and

19:00

the problem with like a founder GPT is

19:02

that you have to be actively

19:04

doing it. It'll give you advice but you

19:06

have to be the human hands that are

19:09

actually you know making the choices. So

19:12

what I did was as I started building a company

19:14

instead of making content and you

19:17

know it takes away from the thing

19:19

that actually makes you that actually made

19:21

me successful in the first place. We have an

19:23

amazing tool that's being built and I really do

19:26

think that it's going to revolutionize the way that

19:28

people learn online and it's

19:30

going to change people's relationships

19:32

with artificial intelligence completely. However

19:36

it was more my fault because I decided to

19:38

focus on that rather than the content itself and

19:41

I think that I actually maybe

19:43

could be at a million dollars right

19:45

now if me as a human wasn't

19:47

being so toxically ambitious you know what

19:49

I'm saying. So AI

19:51

does not have that emotional capacity to you

19:54

know tell me to just go hard and forget

19:57

about sleep and work and you know or sleep

19:59

and working out and... family and all that I

20:01

do and I you know

20:03

I kind of inserted myself in that way

20:05

so you know it's

20:08

it this is kind of where pie comes

20:10

in I was telling you about pie pie

20:12

is very like pie is a

20:14

very it's a

20:16

very it's an emotional AI I would say

20:18

it's very chill and like you know it's

20:20

pretty like trendy and it can talk to

20:22

you like a friend does so

20:25

when I'm having those kind of quarrels internally

20:27

where I'm like I don't really

20:29

you know I'm not sure which direction to go

20:31

here I could actually talk to pie and pie

20:33

is less business like and much more like relaxed

20:35

and just kind of relates with you and talks

20:37

to you in that way so that's

20:40

another tool that I use kind of internally but not

20:42

on a business side. Hey guys

20:44

I hope you're enjoying this episode and

20:46

learning a ton as you know in

20:48

this series we interview some of the

20:50

greatest founders of our generation to find

20:53

out how they did it however if

20:55

you're thinking of starting your own business

20:57

and you want to hear from some

20:59

incredible stories from everyday people like you

21:01

or I who are actually in the

21:04

trenches only been building their business for

21:06

maybe one year or two years like

21:09

they're building right now and then really in

21:11

the early stages but they're getting success you

21:14

should come and check out our new

21:16

podcast from zero to founder hosted by

21:18

our community manager Molly Flynn these are

21:20

in the trenches stories from our very

21:23

own successful students that have gone through

21:25

some of our programs people

21:27

just like you who are deep

21:29

within the process of building their

21:31

very own successful business these are

21:34

the founders of tomorrow you can

21:36

find the from zero to founder

21:38

podcast on all platforms and remember

21:40

it's founder without the E alright

21:43

now let's jump in the shot

21:45

well thank you for being open and honest and sharing

21:47

man because it yeah it was a bold thing to

21:50

do and I'm curious you said

21:52

there was other tools that you use what

21:54

are the other tools that you could go

21:56

into yeah of course so

21:58

there's two tools One is

22:01

going to be very applicable

22:03

to businesses, especially the e-commerce

22:06

side and the other one is going

22:08

to be very personable and Humanitarian.

22:11

So the first one that I

22:13

use is called Cassidy AI and

22:16

it was actually built by my

22:18

friend Justin Feinberg He's

22:20

only 24. He's built multiple tech companies before he

22:22

has an office in New York right now. He's

22:24

an awesome guy. He makes Educational

22:27

AI content as well and

22:29

he has this tool called Cassidy AI and what

22:31

it does is it References all

22:33

of the pieces about your all the information

22:35

about your business like your products your pricing

22:38

who your customer is It

22:40

has all your your legal documents your

22:43

internal policies everything you can insert everything

22:45

into this and what it does

22:47

is it creates a team of Different

22:51

a eyes so you can have a

22:53

sales Like a

22:55

sales agent you can have a marketing

22:57

officer a finance officer in

23:00

Assistant and each one

23:02

of them have kind of their own

23:04

personality and will reference information from your

23:06

internal documents to then provide you with

23:08

the information or the or generate Content

23:11

as you need it based on what

23:13

their role is So

23:15

instead of me going into just chat GPT and

23:17

having multiple threads in there where I got to

23:19

kind of train each one this

23:21

tool allows you to have all of your internal

23:23

policies in one place and Then

23:25

source from those and it speeds up

23:27

the process like it multiplies it like

23:29

crazy So that's one of

23:31

the tools that I would suggest. It's called Cassidy AI

23:34

Justin Feinberg is on Instagram and Twitter and tick-tock

23:37

and all that you can definitely

23:39

tap into him. He's great And

23:41

that's a tool that I've been using The

23:43

other tool that I've been using that's been more personable

23:45

and my surprise people is I have

23:48

cloned my voice professionally

23:50

and I

23:52

have had and I generate I Generate

23:56

meditations and podcasts and

23:58

content in my own own voice

24:01

so I can listen to it back. And

24:03

what I do is I will go into chat

24:05

GPT and I will generate a full

24:08

20 minute podcast on a

24:10

content on content that I'm interested

24:12

in. So let's say I'm

24:14

it for that day I'm interested in tau

24:16

philosophy. I'll generate a full

24:18

like 20 minute you know script on that

24:21

and then I will plug it into 11

24:23

labs is what I'm using. I'll plug it into that. I

24:25

got my voice cloned like

24:27

99% there professionally like hand-signed tune

24:30

by the team out in Poland

24:33

and it's like 99% you

24:36

my friends can't tell the difference. I send

24:38

them like voice notes and stuff and they

24:40

can't tell the difference. I personalize my emails

24:42

a bit also I'll just copy and paste

24:44

the text from my email and throw it

24:46

into and put like the voicemail into my

24:48

email and it kind of personalizes the that

24:51

email a little bit and creates a cool experience that

24:53

people will like remember. And

24:56

yeah I will throw you know my voice in

24:58

there or that you know the text in

25:00

there generated in my voice and

25:02

I'll listen to that. Sometimes when I'm driving

25:04

around or working out like you know

25:06

certain you know when like certain songs or certain podcast

25:09

they just are hitting my

25:11

voice listening to me back that always

25:13

hits. It's like you're you know you

25:16

think in your own voice. So that's

25:18

a tool that I use that maybe

25:21

surprised some people and they haven't really

25:23

thought about that but it's been very

25:25

helpful and pretty like novel for myself.

25:28

Yeah that's crazy. So you find that when you

25:30

hear things in your own voice you

25:33

have better comprehension. One

25:35

hundred percent. One hundred

25:37

percent. Yeah it absolutely multiplies

25:39

the comprehension. Absolutely. It's

25:42

not just the limitations, affirmations, knowledge,

25:44

information all that. Yeah. Yeah

25:47

wow. That's crazy. There you

25:49

go. Okay. Yeah

25:51

I mean you think in your own voice right. Your

25:54

thoughts are in your voice so you

25:57

know if you're healthy. So you know

25:59

I'm saying like. It's definitely

26:01

helpful, absolutely. It's

26:04

been a cheat code for me for sure. Yeah,

26:06

there you go. Okay. So,

26:09

let's talk about other tools. Like, you

26:11

know, we'd be foolish not to. But

26:14

like I said, you're teaching a component of an

26:16

AI accelerator program and you're going to go through

26:18

all this stuff in depth. It's going to be

26:21

next level. It's going to be Q&A. All sorts

26:23

of stuff. It's going to be game changing, which

26:25

people can find out more soon. But I was

26:27

going to say, what other

26:29

tools should e-comfounders be thinking about using

26:31

any other game changes, any other goal

26:33

that you could share? Because you're a

26:35

wizard of this stuff, man. My

26:39

philosophy on this is that a lot

26:42

of people are, you know,

26:44

a mile wide and an inch

26:47

deep. And

26:49

they're trying to find a breadth of different

26:51

tools instead of understanding

26:54

and diving deep and having methods

26:56

and systems on what's presently

26:59

working. You

27:01

know, I do use a lot of different tools

27:03

just like throughout my content process. So I can

27:05

just name those out. But I

27:07

do want people to realize that, you know, the tools

27:10

that I'm going to say, we're going to dive

27:12

deep into each one of them, like you said,

27:14

in the actual summit

27:16

and those workshops. I want

27:18

to dive deep into each one of those so that people can

27:20

get like a deeper understanding of

27:22

the actual methods and systems that are being

27:24

used for each of these tools. But if

27:26

you want to know about more tools and

27:28

kind of have a library of them, first

27:34

one, obviously, Chaggity. I'm

27:36

creating separate threads in each one for

27:38

each different type of topic

27:40

that I want to talk to it about. Second

27:44

obviously is Mid-Journey. I use Mid-Journey because

27:46

it's the most... Mid-Journey

27:48

is an image generation AI platform.

27:52

And I'm using that to generate

27:55

images for my landing pages, for

27:57

pitch decks. I have

27:59

to pitch. a lot to maybe

28:01

investors or to clients. So I'm

28:04

using that to generate images of

28:07

products or of scenes

28:09

of storyboards so

28:12

that people can understand what my vision is without

28:14

me having to actually draw it all out, right?

28:18

Third, what I'm using is Adobe. I use

28:20

Adobe a lot. Now, Adobe has done a

28:22

great job of integrating AI features

28:24

into their tools. And I

28:27

really like Adobe because everybody is

28:29

pretty familiar with it already. It's

28:31

something that's typically in somebody's arsenal.

28:33

And now they're just adding in

28:35

AI tools. So for example, in

28:37

Photoshop, they've added generative sale. And

28:39

what this allows you to do is take pictures

28:42

maybe of your e-commerce images.

28:44

And you can completely change the

28:47

background or add in different objects

28:50

or change the position of

28:52

objects there using

28:54

the AI. And it's literally one click.

28:57

They've introduced this feature called

28:59

a contextual taskbar. And

29:02

what it is is the AI predicts what

29:05

your next move is going to be based on

29:08

the tools in your past activity within the app.

29:11

So there's this contextual taskbar and in the

29:13

bottom, it'll pop up. Once you have

29:15

your layer selected, it'll pop up generative sale. Now all

29:17

you do is click that button once, type

29:20

in whatever you want after you've had your

29:22

area selected, and then hit submit. And

29:24

it will either remove whatever you're asking

29:26

it to remove or change the objects

29:28

in there or add objects. And this

29:30

is a game changer for people who

29:32

want to have like stunning landing pages

29:35

and get people to buy things

29:38

based on the beauty of that

29:40

web experience. So that's a game

29:42

changer right there. Adobe

29:45

has also introduced AI into Premiere

29:47

Pro into their video editing software

29:49

as well. So you can go

29:51

in there and basically change. You

29:54

can remove and change the

29:58

video clips and work. that are

30:00

being said just through the text in

30:03

the text bar at the top. So you

30:05

can change the captions and then it'll remove

30:07

add or like change the actual video within

30:09

Premiere Pro. And

30:12

now they have also introduced AI

30:15

vectorization. Now you may not know what that

30:17

means if you're not like a graphic designer

30:19

or whatever. So what it means is

30:21

that you know how like you

30:23

have the sounder logo for example and that

30:26

are at the end sometimes you change the color

30:28

of that. Yes, not just red

30:30

or it's purple or whatever depending on the context.

30:33

Okay so what vectorization

30:35

means is that you can turn

30:37

shapes or letters like that into

30:40

changeable and it means

30:42

that you can take them and put it

30:44

into a digital format that allows you to

30:47

change the size or the color infinitely. Now

30:49

typically if you're downloading an image let's say

30:52

from Google and people have tried you know if

30:54

you're ever trying to download a logo or an image from Google you

30:56

download it at that one resolution that that is

30:58

that and you can't really change it. Well

31:02

what Adobe has just announced

31:04

at their most recent summit

31:07

is that you can now generate vectorized

31:11

logos and text

31:13

just using text prompts within Adobe

31:16

Illustrator. So typically

31:19

the gap between like logo designers and

31:21

just people who are trying to start

31:23

a business is because people

31:26

don't know how to like vectorize their logos.

31:28

People don't know how to make a logo

31:30

or make text and then vectorize it so

31:32

that it can be put on t-shirts and

31:34

business cards and websites and change colors of

31:36

it. People don't know how to do that.

31:39

Now all you have to do

31:41

is go into Adobe Illustrator type in the

31:43

prompt of whatever image that you want and

31:45

it automatically creates a vector for you. So

31:47

you can change the size the colors of

31:49

all of these different graphic shapes that

31:52

you're going to use across all of your

31:54

platforms. So those three things have been game

31:56

changers for me absolutely. Yeah crazy

31:58

so that's basically you day

32:00

to day, I'm curious

32:03

when it comes to the future.

32:06

I have to ask you about the future. Like where

32:08

do you see all of

32:11

this stuff going, especially for entrepreneurs, business

32:13

owners in the next five years? My

32:15

take is, I personally believe

32:18

it's going to be easier than ever to start

32:20

a business. There's

32:22

going to be so much competition that

32:26

yeah, like you, you have to

32:28

be able to really outcompate, really

32:30

stand out because AI is going

32:32

to make it so much easier

32:34

to get started. Yeah,

32:37

yeah, absolutely. Okay. So let me speak on

32:39

that for a moment because I

32:41

am definitely in like a non-competition mindset and

32:43

it has been working for me once I

32:45

got out of it. Um,

32:48

because I think

32:50

that we're going to start reverting back to almost

32:52

like a, I don't

32:55

want, this is so weird, but like a tribal

32:59

type of society. And we're already kind of going

33:01

back to that where each

33:03

person can have their own business

33:06

and thrive. Everybody can basically

33:08

have the same, have

33:10

their own business and thrive. And it's

33:12

because there will be a group of people that

33:15

specifically like how you do things.

33:18

And specifically like, even if it's the same product,

33:20

they like you, they like how you do it.

33:22

They like how you produce it. And

33:25

AI is just breaking down the

33:27

barriers for everybody to

33:29

be able to create and produce products

33:31

and services that are unique to them.

33:33

You can now generate things that are unique to you.

33:36

I think that there's this notion that

33:38

artificial intelligence is going to make everything

33:40

the same. And I,

33:42

I have the opposite mindset. I think

33:45

that AI is allowing people to make

33:47

things that are personalized to them. That

33:50

is one of the superpowers

33:52

of AI. There's three like

33:54

main superpowers of AI automation,

33:56

prediction, and personalization. And personalization

33:58

is the main. main one that's going

34:00

to allow people to make things the way that they

34:03

like them and then produce it in the way that

34:05

their audience resonates with as well. So

34:07

I don't think that there's going to be

34:09

necessarily increased competition. There's just going to be

34:11

increased personalization so that you can find the

34:13

type of people that really resonate with how

34:15

you do things and how you create. Now

34:19

when it comes to the future

34:21

of artificial intelligence other than just

34:24

that like economic structure. The

34:28

software is here. The technology is here.

34:30

The technology is insane. We've all seen

34:32

it. It's crazy. The

34:35

barrier that we have to overcome

34:37

that will be overcome in the

34:39

next five years that's going to change

34:41

everything is the hardware. It's

34:43

allowing AI to then be

34:46

integrated, the software to be integrated into the

34:48

tools that we use every day, into

34:51

our phones, into our laptops. So

34:54

for example, into our

34:56

fashion. So for

34:59

example, products like

35:01

Metas Ray-Ban glasses that

35:03

they just announced. They have

35:05

cameras that are inside of the Ray-Bans and

35:08

the AI is multimodal which means

35:11

it can process text and images.

35:14

So in these glasses when you put them

35:16

on it will observe the objects that are

35:18

in your surroundings in your real physical world

35:20

and be able to give you information about

35:22

them, identify them, and help you to interact

35:24

with them in the real world. Apple's

35:27

Vision Pro is literally some

35:29

of the best technology that we've ever seen

35:31

as a human race and

35:34

it is integrating AI into its process even

35:36

though they aren't actually saying the word AI

35:38

because they're not trying to go down that

35:40

rabbit hole. There

35:43

is artificial intelligence that's allowing their

35:45

digital interface to exist in our

35:47

physical world and if you've

35:49

heard of, speaking of Apple, two

35:52

of their product designers started their

35:54

own company called Humane and

35:57

they have a piece of hardware called

35:59

an AI Pit. this was just

36:01

debuted on models during

36:04

I think New York Fashion Week and basically

36:07

it's this pin that it's like a it's

36:09

like a rectangular box about this big and

36:12

you can put it onto your your shirt

36:14

and it has the same thing typically as the

36:17

as the Ray-Bans. There's a camera

36:20

in there, there's a microphone, there's

36:22

a speaker and you can it it

36:24

recognizes and understands the

36:27

the objects in your

36:29

surroundings, information about yourself, you

36:31

can clone your voice and

36:33

for instance let's say that you're having a

36:35

conversation with somebody while you're in another country

36:37

and they don't speak your language, you can

36:39

have a back-and-forth conversation with that person in

36:41

your voice but through the AI pin.

36:44

So I think that what we're

36:46

going to see in the future is more hardware that's

36:49

enabling this artificial intelligence to actually

36:51

exist in our day-to-day

36:54

lives instead of this being something that's kind of

36:56

scary that seems like only a niche amount of

36:58

people know about that kind of freaks people out.

37:01

It's just going to be invisible

37:03

meaning it works without you really knowing that it's

37:05

there and that's where the future is going

37:08

to thrive. Yeah it's so crazy

37:10

man. So dude I

37:12

could talk to you about this kind of stuff

37:14

all day, it is so fascinating. I'm walking away

37:16

just super inspired, I want to go use these

37:18

some of these tools, I want to run this

37:21

interview back and then also

37:23

also start having a play but then at the

37:25

same time I know you're doing this incredible workshop,

37:28

we're going to walk people through this stuff

37:30

step-by-step. We have to work towards wrapping up. Final

37:34

question, just two more questions if

37:36

I could. People

37:39

that are watching this, early-stage startup

37:41

founders in the e-commerce space, what's

37:44

the number one piece of advice you would

37:46

give to them to get started when it

37:48

comes to implementing AI in their business and

37:51

then secondly was there any question that you wanted

37:53

me to ask that didn't ask or any final

37:55

words of wisdom? Okay

37:58

yes I have an answer for

38:00

both. So first is

38:02

this is not going to you guys

38:06

are gonna get a lot of AI from me over

38:09

the next few forever.

38:12

So I want to end this on

38:15

a high note and it's that if

38:17

you want to get started in anything,

38:19

building your business, if you want to get

38:22

started to get healthier, if you want to improve

38:24

your relationships, the very first thing

38:26

that you can do is give

38:28

thanks. That is the

38:31

habit that I have instilled in

38:33

my life that has multiplied the quality of

38:35

my life and the amount of money that

38:37

I make and the amount of relationships that

38:39

I have is giving thanks. Right

38:42

when you are in a mindset

38:44

of gratitude, when you're thinking about

38:46

what you already have, what

38:49

is already in your grasp, the

38:51

technology that is here, you're not

38:53

you cannot be simultaneously afraid of the technology

38:55

and grateful for it at the same time.

38:58

Be grateful for the era that we live in.

39:00

You have the you have access to this knowledge,

39:03

you have access to me and

39:05

Nathan, you have access to this technology

39:07

and to the people that

39:11

can help you. So giving thanks to that

39:13

has opened my mind to all of the

39:15

possibilities and opportunities that I've been asking for.

39:18

So right when I changed my mindset from

39:21

fear and kind of lack to just gratitude

39:23

and you know being thankful for what we

39:25

have and the opportunity that we have right

39:27

now in this era, it's multiplied

39:29

my life. So that's the very first thing that

39:31

you can do is you know give thanks and open

39:34

your mind up to that. A

39:37

question that I that you did not ask

39:39

that you should have is

39:43

no I think I'd

39:45

say you know what am

39:47

I what am I most grateful for I guess

39:50

would be a good follow-up question to that and

39:53

the thing that I'm most grateful

39:56

for is the thing that I'm I'm

40:00

most grateful for is the

40:04

people that make this

40:07

possible. It's

40:09

been a lot of talk that artificial intelligence

40:13

blocks human

40:15

interaction and blocks human

40:18

creativity and I have

40:20

had the direct opposite experience with it.

40:22

It has connected me with millions of people around

40:25

the world. It's made me understand

40:27

how important human beings actually are to

40:29

making these products accessible to us, making

40:31

these experiences and technology accessible to us.

40:33

So the thing I'm most grateful for

40:36

is people and human beings that

40:38

actually make all of this even worth it. You

40:41

know, we can get carried away on our phones and with

40:43

new technology and stuff but it can

40:45

actually connect us more as human beings

40:48

and I'm incredibly thankful for you and

40:51

for you watching and you

40:53

know for the people who have helped me along

40:55

this journey actually get here. So thank

40:58

you. Amazing man.
