    How a Writer and Producer Uses AI to Prototype High-Budget Film Ideas Fast

    I sit with Jagger Waters, a multidisciplinary AI creator, writer, and producer, to talk about what’s changing in video right now and what it actually looks like to use AI in a real creative workflow. Jagger shares how she thinks about AI as a creative collaborator, not a shortcut, and how creators can prototype “high-budget” ideas fast, test concepts, and build worlds that used to require an entire studio pipeline. We also get into the creative mindset shift, why learning in public matters, and what’s coming next for AI-driven storytelling. 🔥 Topics We Cover: What it means to be an AI creator as a writer and producer (not just “a tool user”)How to prototype cinematic ideas fast without losing your creative point of viewWhy node-based systems are becoming a superpower for creatorsThe creative partner ecosystem and how creators are getting supported by platformsAI video as the new production pipeline: ideation, assets, edit, voice, soundWhat Jagger’s seeing in creator education right now and what people struggle with mostA quick SXSW pulse and what she’s bringing to the CapCut Creator Panel Tools & Concepts Mentioned in This Episode: AI Image + Video MidjourneySeedance 2.0 (Video Generator): ByteDance tool for cinematic, multi-shot storytelling with audio, and the ability to upload multiple assets for more controlSeedream (Image/Video): high-res generative images and video inside ByteDance’s broader “Seed” ecosystemNano Banana (Image Generator): image-to-image/text-to-image tool known for strong character consistency across different scenesCreator Programs + Education Creative Partner Program (CPP) 2.0College of Influence (G&B)Workflow + Production Systems Node-based systemsComfyUISpacesDesign Assets + Editing Freepik, CapCutAudio + Voice Epidemic Sound, ElevenLabsConnect with Jagger LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaggerwaters/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/glamorousreptile/   Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?

    How an Accounting Expert Uses AI to Organize Small Business Finances

    I sit down with Kelli Lewis, an outsourced CFO, author, and wealth coach for small businesses, to talk about the unsexy stuff that makes a business run: the day-to-day financial operations and the systems behind them. Kelli shares how she uses AI as a behind-the-scenes operator to train her team faster, document processes as SOPs, and stop repeating herself across clients and staff. We talk about how Kelli uses AI to streamline her team’s workflows, turn meetings into action, and reduce the constant back-and-forth that keeps businesses stuck in financial chaos.  We also get into what most people skip: the prompts. Kelli breaks down the kinds of questions to ask AI when you’re trying to get your finances under control, from organizing bank activity to clarifying what’s actually happening in your business each month.   🔥 Topics We Cover: What “day-to-day finance management” really includes inside a small businessWhy organized finances are less about spreadsheets and more about systemsHow AI can support team training, documentation, and repeatable workflowsTurning meetings into clear next steps, tasks, and accountabilityThe mindset side of wealth and why clarity creates confidence  Tools & Concepts Mentioned in This Episode: Finance + Accounting QuickBooksProject + Workflow Management AsanaTrelloZapierTime + Focus EverhourTime trackersMotion CalendarCommunication + Team Ops SlackMeetings + Notes FathomOtterDocumentation + Training LoomScribeScheduling CalendlyAI Email + Automation Jace AI  Connect with Kelli Kelli Works: Kelliworks.comEntrepreneurs Anonymous Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GJQQJ1YP  Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?

    How a Digital Literacy Coach Uses AI and VR to Help Seniors Stay Connected

    I sit down with Sandra Abrams, lifelong learner turned Web3 guide and founder of Onboard60, who is helping adults 50+ navigate AI, blockchain, VR, and health tech with calm, practical clarity. Sandra’s story is powerful. Just a few years ago she was learning how to copy and paste. Today, she’s guiding seniors through AI tools, crypto literacy, virtual reality, and digital safety so they can stay independent and connected in a rapidly changing world. In this conversation, we unpack what it really means to “bring our elders with us” into the AI era. We talk about fear, scams, financial literacy, telehealth, and how something as simple as five minutes a day with the right tools can completely shift someone’s confidence. This episode is less about hype and more about dignity, autonomy, and inclusion. 🔥 Topics We Cover: Sandra’s journey from self-described “I’m old” beginner to Web3 educatorWhy today’s 60+ generation cannot afford to ignore AI and blockchainThe digital confidence gap and how she helps clients move from overwhelm to empowermentHow VR platforms are helping seniors build social connectionWhy tech literacy is now tied to financial safety and independenceScams, crypto fear, and protecting older adults in digital spacesThe role of longevity health tech in modern retirementWhy simplicity matters when teaching AI to the 50+ community Tools & Platforms Mentioned in This Episode: AI & Research ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Delphi AIAudio & Creation AudacityVR & Metaverse Meta Quest headsets, Alcove (VR social platform for seniors), MyndBlockchain & Web3 Concepts Tokenomics, ROBLOX economy references, Crypto wallets and digital assetsHealth & Longevity Tech Telehealth platforms, Emerging longevity-focused technologies Connect with Sandra: Onboard60 Stan Store https://stan.store/onboard60 Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandra-abrams-5b408a239/ Ready to cut through the AI noise?

    Solo Episode: OpenClaw Explained, ChatGPT Shopping, and the Live Podcast Event

    I’m breaking down the OpenClaw moment and why people are losing their minds over AI agents right now. We’re officially shifting from “chat with AI” to “delegate to AI,” and that comes with both massive potential and massive safety tradeoffs. I also share my key takes from the Consumer Trends 2026 report.

    How a Former Teacher Uses AI to Make Shopify SEO Simple and Smart

    I sit down with Crystal Waddell, founder of Simple and Smart SEO, a longtime educator-turned-SEO strategist who helps Shopify sellers stop guessing and start getting found.  Crystal’s story is wild and human. She went from teaching and coaching to building a maker business, and she shares how a major health wake-up call reshaped what “success” even means.  In this conversation, we unpack how AI is changing search from “keywords and volume” to intent, trust, and semantic alignment.

    How a Product Leader Builds Enterprise AI Agents

    I sit down with Anuj Jain, a seasoned product leader who’s been building AI products long before the current hype cycle and is now shaping how enterprise AI agents work in the real world. Anuj is the Head of Product at Nurix.ai, where he leads the development of advanced conversational and voice AI agents used by enterprises across customer support, sales, and internal operations. His background spans AI platforms, growth systems, and large scale enterprise tools, with early work leading AI product teams at Sprinklr during the first major deep learning wave. In this conversation, we go beyond demos and buzzwords. Anuj shares how AI is being adopted inside enterprises today, why context engineering matters more than the model itself, and why AI is not a silver bullet but a system that must be trained, trusted, and evolved over time.  He also offers a fascinating look at how India’s tech culture is adapting to AI at scale, and how he personally uses a voice agent during his daily commute to think better, prepare for hard conversations, and challenge his own ideas. 🔥 Topics We Cover: What it really takes to ship enterprise AI agents into productionWhy context engineering is critical for reliable AI systemsHow AI is reshaping the workforce in India and globallyWhy AI should be treated like a new hire, not a magic fixHow voice agents can be used for thinking, decision making, and leadershipThe future of enterprise AI, agentic workflows, and internal operationsTools & Concepts Mentioned in This Episode: AI & Product Platforms-  ChatGPT  Claude Code  Vercel Enterprise AI & Agents-  Nurix.ai  Sprinklr Productivity & Workflow Tools-  Granola  Cluely  Expensify Connect with Anuj: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anujjain23/ Company: https://nurix.ai   Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?

    How a 14 Year Old Student is Building with AI at Alpha School

    I sat down with Ali Romman, a 14-year-old freshman at Alpha School in Austin who’s already using AI like a co-founder. He’s vibe coding an MVP in public and building an AI-powered tool that helps people design and buy the right gaming PC, even if they know nothing about computers. This conversation is a real look at what kids are facing right now: AI in schools, cheating vs learning, what guardrails actually work, and why the new “gap” isn’t access to tools, it’s curiosity, initiative, and how fast you can learn. Topics we cover: AI isn’t “coming”, it’s already in the classroom: what that actually looks like day-to-dayCheating vs learning: where Ali draws the line and why boundaries matterCollege and how AI is changing the value of traditional educationVibe coding a real MVP: how Ali’s building a PC configurator + chatbotBuilding in public at 14: confidence, pressure, and learning at startup speedFail fast mindset: getting beta testers and feedback instead of guessing forever Tools, Platforms, and References Mentioned: ChatGPT, Gemini 3 Pro, Claude 4.5 OpusAlpha School (https://alpha.school/)Cline (VS Code extension) (https://cline.bot/)Cursor“Fail Fast, Fail Often” (book) (https://www.amazon.com/Fail-Fast-Often-Losing-Help/dp/0399166254) Who this episode is for: Founders and builders who want a glimpse of what the next generation is actually doing with AIParents trying to navigate “should my kid use AI?” (spoiler: they already are)Educators and school leaders thinking about ethical AI policies and real guardrailsAnyone who needs proof that you don’t need permission, credentials, or a CS degree to build now  Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?

Bryan has spent over two decades studying how people actually behave inside complex systems, especially in cars, organizations, and high-stakes environments where “automation” can help… or quietly make things worse.
