    Dan Martell's Claude Strategist Exposes How to Replace yourself with AI

    August Motorcars: https://www.augustmotorcars.com/ You hear "AI" 50 times a day. Nobody actually tells you what to do with it. This week, Cory Silva sat down with Host, Matt August to fix that. Cory's the co-founder of Six Summit, an AI software agency building real tools for real businesses. He went from a failed tech startup and 10 years in corporate retail to founding an AI company — all in the last three years, while becoming a dad and nearly running out of money. We get into what your business should be doing with AI this week, the conversation you need to have with your kids, what your job actually looks like two years from now, and the one habit that puts you ahead of almost everyone still typing into ChatGPT like it's Google. If AI feels like it's moving too fast and nobody's slowing down to explain it, this is the one to watch. Subscribe so you don't miss the next one. New episodes of August After Dark every week. ______________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ►   / @AugustAfterDark   INSTAGRAM:   / https://www.instagram.com/augustafterdarkpodcast/ _____________________________________________________________________ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 02:15 - The AI Founder Who Wants a '67 Mustang (Meet Cory Silva) 05:45 - He Was Down to His Last Dollar — Then This Happened 13:30 - What Is AI?

  3. He Almost Didn't Survive. Now He Calls It the Best Time of His Life.

    He Almost Didn't Survive. Now He Calls It the Best Time of His Life.

    This podcast episode lives at the intersection of hope, community, and the quiet heroism of parenthood.  It is not a cancer story — it is a story about what human beings are capable of when everything is stripped away.  On Canada Day 2019, Janelle Stanley's 2.5 year-old son Finley was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. His platelet count was 9. He could have bled out internally without a single warning sign. Within hours, Janelle was on a Learjet to BC Children's Hospital — no wallet, no change of clothes, no plan. Just her son, and the terrifying unknown. What she didn't know yet was that the place waiting for them — Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon — was a place she had helped design. In this episode of August After Dark, Janelle shares the raw, real, and deeply moving story of what it means to let go of control, lean on community, and watch your child not just survive — but thrive. Today, Finley is in remission, approaching five years cancer free. He describes his time during treatment as the best time of his life. This conversation is for every parent who has ever felt helpless. Every family who has sat in a waiting room not knowing what comes next. And everyone who wants to understand what Ronald McDonald House truly means to the families inside its walls. 🔗 Donate and support Finley's 5-year cancer-free milestone: augustafterdark.com

    What It Really Takes to Build a Dream Business (Supercar Edition)

    Matt August and Mike Hall have been the guys behind August Motor Cars from the beginning — and in this episode, they're finally telling the whole story.  From bidding on a foreclosed building their families thought was a terrible idea, to sneaking into the Indy 500 pits, getting dressed as pirates at a supercar rally, crashing a Radical at track, and eventually taking a McLaren 765LT across America on the Gumball 3000 — this is the unfiltered origin of one of Canada's most recognized exotic car brands.  But more than the cars, this episode is about what it actually takes to build something real: the doubt, the roadblocks, the police pullover that wasn't their fault, and the guy who traded two Clydesdale horses for a supercar. If you've ever had a dream that people told you was too crazy, this one's for you.

    The Algorithm Was Designed to Keep You Miserable — Here's How to Fight Back

    What does it actually mean to be successful — and what if everything you've been chasing has been keeping you from the peace you already have? In this episode of August After Dark, host Matt sits down with entrepreneur, digital marketing pioneer, and consciousness explorer Nicholas for one of the most honest, wide-ranging conversations the show has ever had.

They cover it all: How Nick went from church pastor to Facebook ads pioneer — generating close to a billion dollars in client salesThe dark side of social media algorithms and how platforms are engineered to keep you anxious, scrolling, and never enoughWhy your identity might not actually be yours — and how to start questioning the stories you've inheritedThe McLaren obsession — from a six-supercar test drive to hunting down a 765LT and why toys are just toys when you know who you areDream Rally — and the unexpected ripple effect it has not just on the kids in the cars, but on every single person watching from the sidewalkNick's new documentary "Unbecoming" — a two-year, seven-country journey through monasteries, neuroscience labs, and psychedelic research centers asking one question: What if fulfillment isn't about becoming more, but unbecoming everything you're not?The 5MEO DMT protocol Nick and his team have developed — combining clinical therapy, neurofeedback, Buddhist coaching, and psychedelic medicine to collapse the patterns that cause sufferingWhy presence, not performance, is the new definition of successThis episode will challenge the way you think about ambition, identity, social media, philanthropy, and what it means to truly know yourself.

    The Voice of Country Music Tells the Truth About Why He Almost Quit | Casey Clarke

    Casey Clarke will tell you his voice wasn't good enough. He'll say it before you get the chance to ask. He left broadcast school without a diploma. Took a job in a town called Westlock, Alberta. Figured getting paid to learn beat paying someone to teach him. Thirty years later — one of 3 Canadians to win the CMA Broadcaster of the Year. In this episode, Matt sits down with Casey to go through all of it. The small-town Alberta start. Overnight shifts on satellite radio. Sixteen years at CMT. Coming home to Kelowna. And the part Casey doesn't lead with: the anger he carried through his twenties. The years where the most upbeat voice on the radio wasn't doing so well privately. He talks about what cracked it. A sidewalk in Toronto. His wife stopped to talk to a stranger for ten minutes — warm, easy, like they'd known each other for years. Casey asked who she was. His wife had no idea. That stayed with him. Each month, August After Dark supports a family close to Matt's heart. This month: the Relvas family — two years at Ronald McDonald House GUEST: Casey Clarke  HOST: Matt August

    August After Dark Trailer

    Some conversations only happen after the lights go down. August After Dark is  hosted by Matt August. Each episode he sits down with operators, athletes, builders, and creators and asks the questions nobody bothered to ask them on the main stage — how they built it, what it cost them, and what they actually do with it now. Here's what Matt keeps seeing: the people who build the most are almost always the ones giving the most away. That's what this show is really about.
