    What A.I. Cannot Take From You

    A.I. has stripped all value from generic content. Content is not only abundant, it's become practically infinite and worthless. So, where does that leave us mere mortals?   There are 5 things you have that you might not recognize as assets, but they absolutely are. This week, I'll give you the breakdown of 5 things that you have that AI can never replicate. Key Insights Seth Godin's Talking Dog metaphor Don't Dismiss the Miracle ... and don't give it everything Nate B Jones: When AI makes building free, the question becomes "Do I own something structural that AI cannot replicate?" When AI makes everything abundant, the scarce things become infinitely more valuable Content, code, images, research, first drafts...essentially free and infinite What things can AI not manufacture or copy  Trust: AI cannot manufacture the trust you've built with your audience Context: Providing AI with your body of work can help it replicate your thinking Distribution: Content is not scarce. The value of generic content is 0. Your list (email, podcast, customers) - the direct lines you control are extremely valuable Your Taste: AI has no point of view. Your ability to look at 100 options and know which one is right is something you've built through years of experience Accountability: Somebody has to be responsible. Your name carries weight.

    How To Build An Audience Without Showing Your Face

    I've coached a lot of people to "start making videos". It's an essential part of building your brand and attracting the right people. Putting your personality on display will weed out those you don't click with and strengthen the bonds with your fans. ​ ​That's all true, but the fact is...Not everyone can physically do this. As a person living with Parkinson's, I have windows of time where my body is willing to cooperate with me and do what I need it to. Some days those windows are very short...Other days they're nonexistent.  ​ ​There are millions of people with physical and mental challenges that make it difficult or impossible to be on camera. This week, I want to prove to you that you're not out of the game because of these limitations. You have options!  ​ Key Insights The notion that the only pathway to success for a content creator is through a lens is false If you have a condition (ADHD, Parkinson's, Anxiety) that makes it hard or impossible to be on camera, AI has given you options This is not "cheating" Be open and transparent. This will enhance your credibility with your audience Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" Your physical limitations do not disqualify you from participating The gatekeepers are gone. AI has kicked the gate wide open! Life is not happening to you…it's happening For you.

    AI or Die

    Imagine you have a disease that is consuming your mobility...your speech. All of the tools you're accustomed to using to communicate with others are taken from you. Perhaps only months ago you were known as a compelling storyteller...a charismatic figure who could light up the room with charming wit. Now a disease has reduced you to blinking once for yes and twice for no. It's a horrible thought, but for some it's an unstoppable reality. ​ ​A.I. is changing this. It's on the verge of freeing many people from this isolation, and that is AMAZING! ​ ​This week, Sean and I catch up on life in the coffee biz, discuss the importance of honesty and transparency, and highlight some of the former science fiction that AI is making possible. ​ ​Incredible things are happening right now. Things that this nerdy kid who was raised on Star Trek never thought he'd live to see...but here we are. In the business world, AI is empowering entrepreneurs to achieve feats that traditionally require teams of high-dollar experts. Not anymore. The playing field is more level than it has ever been in modern times. It's not too late to be one of the "early adopters" who skyrockets to success by mastering a few tools.  Don't get sucked into the Luddite, fear-mongering click bait. Focus on the positive impacts this new technology is making and learn how to use it to improve your life and the lives of others. FYI: That is exactly what the AI Accelerator Summit is all about - Successful entrepreneurs showing you how their businesses have been propelled by a few tools that are available to all of us.

    Fear, Loathing, and A.I.

    Despite my best efforts to prune the doom and gloom from my feed, the algorithm still serves me plenty of worst-case, "out there" scenarios regarding AI. No doubt many are concerned and perhaps discouraged by this fluff. So, how do you embrace the new stuff in a way that is useful and exciting? This week, I'm giving you three recommendations for AI-powered tools that will improve your business in ways you may not have considered. Key Takeaways Still "doom and gloom" in my feed despite my best efforts (If it bleeds it leads) "Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle" - Ecclesiastes 11:6 "We suffer more in imagination than in reality," a principle from Stoic philosopher Seneca Anxiety is high (the news of the day) AI is changing the marketplace regardless of how you feel about it The repetitive work is drying up AI is *not* 100% reliable...and it may never be Are you a technological optimist?

    How to Replace a $30,000 a Month Agency With This Framework

    First off, I'm happy to announce Sean has returned! This week, we're talking about a framework can do the work (and produce the results) of a $30,000 per month agency. Make no mistake, this framework includes A.I., but it's not "just" a.i. It turns out the "new tech" works best when you marry it to some "old techniques"​. Spiritual Foundations - Let's talk about Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord, ​ and he will give you the desires of your heart. ​Does this mean that the faithful followers get everything they want? Would truly taking delight in the Lord change your desires? Feature Presentation ​ AI's role in business Where to start with all of this new stuff What can it really do for you? (and, what you must still do for yourself) A simple, modern marketing framework that works for any business AIDA - Attention, interest, desire, action  The "infomercial" formula. Cheesy, but effective. How would it work for a coffee shop? What's on tap for next week How You Can Help Subscribe to the show in Apple Podcasts or on Spotify, and give us a rating and review.
