EPISODE OVERVIEW

Duration: Approximately 45 minutes

Best For: Business owners who feel trapped by daily operations and want to leverage AI without adding more complexity

Key Outcome: Understand the difference between using AI and building with AI, and discover practical steps to start creating systems that work without you

THE BOTTOM LINE

If you have been telling yourself you will learn AI when things calm down, this episode is your wake-up call. Marnie Wills shares her journey from skeptical educator to AI strategist, revealing why 95% of business owners using ChatGPT are barely scratching the surface. She exposes the real gap that is widening between those who merely use AI and those who build with it. More importantly, she provides a clear pathway to get started today, even if you have zero technical background. The businesses that thrive in the next 12 months will be the ones who stop treating AI like a glorified spell-checker and start treating it like the smartest collaborator they have ever had.

WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS TO YOU


You will learn how AI can amplify your thinking rather than replace it, giving you hours back each week to focus on health, family, or strategic growth


Discover why your competitors who build with AI will leap ahead while those who only use it for email rewrites get left behind


Understand how to stop being the bottleneck by creating AI-powered systems that capture your business knowledge and work without you


Recognize what you are sacrificing by waiting, as the gap between AI adopters and resisters grows wider every single month


KEY INSIGHTS YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TODAY


Start using AI as your thinking partner by brain dumping everything into it and letting it organize your priorities, reducing mental load immediately


Move beyond basic ChatGPT use by creating customized projects or spaces that act as a second brain for your business, trained on your specific knowledge


Audit your business knowledge right now because if your processes only exist in people's heads, you have a massive risk and AI cannot help automate what is not documented


Give AI your outcome and let it figure out the tactics, shifting from step-by-step instructions to mission-based collaboration with agentic workflows


Protect your business intellectual property by moving your team to paid AI accounts where data is encrypted and you maintain ownership of valuable business conversations


GOLDEN QUOTES WORTH REMEMBERING


"Those that use AI are good, you'll stay ahead of the curve. But those that build with AI will really make the impact." - Marnie Wills


"If we don't look after ourselves, we cannot show up for others. People don't live it. They don't live it." - Roy Castleman


"AI is here to amplify our intelligence, not replace it." - Marnie Wills


"The leverage has changed. With AI, the leverage is the ability to create products, services, to solve a problem at the speed of light without needing people, labor, money, code, or media." - Marnie Wills


"Instead of thinking inside our brains, we can start thinking outside our brains. We just need to know what the problem is." - Roy Castleman

2

:

I'm here with Marnie Wills and Marnie is an entrepreneur

3

:

and she's embracing AI and yet just here to

4

:

hear all about it. So, Marnie. Yeah, welcome. Ah, thanks,

5

:

Roy. It's good to be here. So tell us, tell

6

:

us a little bit about yourself. Tell us, how do

7

:

you get to be doing the AI game? I know

8

:

it's a bit crazy. If anyone had told me that

9

:

I would call myself a vibe coder and be known

10

:

as an AI trainer and strategist, I think I would

11

:

have just laughed because I love all things sport and

12

:

I grew up playing sport in Australia, wanted to be

13

:

a PE teacher from the age of five, would bunk

14

:

as many classes as possible just to get out on

15

:

the field and be playing. To be fair, it was

16

:

probably the only thing that got me through school and

17

:

through uni was being so driven to become a PE

18

:

teacher, which I did. I graduated in 2004 as a

19

:

physical education and secondary science teacher. And then massive

20

:

change happened. There were no jobs on the coast in

21

:

Australia, where I grew up, because everybody wanted to be

22

:

PE teacher. There wasn't many jobs. So you get sent

23

:

rural and this, this name will make you laugh. I

24

:

got sent to a place called Gunda Windy, which basically

25

:

is six hours from anywhere. Anywhere. And I just didn't

26

:

think I could hack it, if I'm honest. An opportunity

27

:

came up, come up to move to the UK and

28

:

play a bit of netball. Netball was my main sport

29

:

at the time, so I took it and. And then

30

:

it was really easy to get jobs over here in,

31

:

in London. And it wasn't long before I was moving

32

:

up the ranks within the education sector in London. But

33

:

there was a lot of schools where I was like

34

:

on Danger Pay, which I just then fell out of

35

:

love with teaching pe especially because. Danger Pay? Yeah,

36

:

yeah. I mean, there's some academies in London which are

37

:

tough, right? Yeah. To keep teachers and keep a bit

38

:

of consistency. You get paid a little bit extra and

39

:

they call it Danger Pay. There was some really nice,

40

:

not nice stuff. A couple of children have been stabbed

41

:

or died or unfortunately not nice things done to some

42

:

girls in the toilet. It was honestly not very nice.

43

:

And I think I learned a lot about myself in

44

:

that time of why do I do what I do?

45

:

And I think I like to, as a person, see

46

:

progression in people. And I realized that through all of

47

:

my sport, I managed to represent England for netball and

48

:

touch rugby for England as well. And I did that

49

:

for quite a long period of time and I realized

50

:

that I Love working with kind of high performance and

51

:

I love the mindset related to being a high performer

52

:

and I realized that I needed to change my environment.

53

:

So I tried a few different types of school. So

54

:

I went to a private school, I went to a

55

:

primary school, I worked as a school in school, sports

56

:

partnership. So I just tried a whole lot of different

57

:

things and it was all going really well. Progressing through,

58

:

finding different love. It was actually. It sounds from the

59

:

outlook, talking about it sounds like great opportunities. But for

60

:

me, because I was so set on being a PE

61

:

teacher my whole life, actually making those changes initially, because

62

:

I wasn't enjoying it was actually hard. But I was

63

:

just trying to find a bit more purpose because I

64

:

wasn't getting it initially. Anyway, Fast forward to 2013 and

65

:

it was a big year for me. I'd gone to

66

:

Dublin to play touch rugby. I was off to South

67

:

Africa to play netball, but I was ahead of netball

68

:

at a private school in Bromley. And the TED teacher

69

:

basically said I couldn't go. She just said, you've already

70

:

had loads of time off. And I said, yeah, but

71

:

I'm your head of netball and I'm going to go

72

:

and put an England dress on, right, to play netball.

73

:

And she just said, we can't give you that time

74

:

off. So I just resigned and then just thought, oh,

75

:

yeah, yeah, just thought I was already in my late

76

:

20s by that point, or mid to late 20s. It

77

:

was important that I didn't have many years representing my

78

:

country at sport. Admittedly, they were all amateur expenses paid.

79

:

It wasn't. I wasn't paid because she said, if you

80

:

were a professional, it'd be a different story. And I

81

:

was like, if I was professional, I wouldn't be here.

82

:

And I'm so pleased. That was 2013, so I'm so

83

:

pleased. Twelve years later, women's sport, they do get paid,

84

:

admittedly, nowhere near as much as they should. Or with

85

:

the men, it's definitely, definitely a progression for women in

86

:

sport, which I'm a massive advocate for. Yeah. I decided

87

:

to put my resignation in. I thought, I can start

88

:

a business. Like most entrepreneurs, we've got quite a lot

89

:

of ideas. So I didn't start one business, I started

90

:

two. So I had a health and fitness business, just

91

:

started teaching, delivering functional fitness sessions on the common in

92

:

London for amateur athletes that, that would get injured a

93

:

lot because your general gym programs just wouldn't, wouldn't be

94

:

sufficient enough for the load they're putting on their body

95

:

and the movements they were doing. And then I saw

96

:

a Massive gap in the market to teach early years

97

:

physical education because I was getting girls, especially girls 11

98

:

who didn't know the fundamentals. Jump, land, throw, catch. And

99

:

then I would get boys that hated PE because they

100

:

didn't play football. But physical education, the subject is not

101

:

about football. So it's one sport in one area of

102

:

physical education which has seven areas of learning. I soon

103

:

found a bit of a gap in the market and

104

:

launched my early years physical education business. All going well,

105

:

traveling well, playing sport, happy days, had my first baby,

106

:

all good. Covid hit when everything went online, which actually

107

:

I loved, I loved. It just worked with my brain

108

:

like almost looking at like sales funnel. Then I doubled

109

:

down on marketing because marketing changed massively and yeah, I

110

:

just absolutely loved it. And then I kept my health

111

:

and fitness business online because the profit margins were so

112

:

much better, not having to pay for studio space and

113

:

that type thing and. And then I decided that I

114

:

would franchise my early years physical education business. And I

115

:

try and I hired a copywriter, but the copywriter, although

116

:

she was awesome, didn't quite give me what I needed.

117

:

So I discovered an AI tool called Jasper AI and

118

:

that was actually back in 2021, like crazy. So it

119

:

was OpenAI. So it was like what we know now

120

:

as ChatGPT. It was the early version and it was

121

:

just in a Wrapper. So Jasper AI, it was just

122

:

a platform that used that OpenAI platform at the time.

123

:

And yeah, like it was absolutely. I know this word

124

:

gets overused, but I'm not exaggerating. It was game changing

125

:

for me. I wasn't good at writing, I didn't really

126

:

know what I want, what I wanted in my franchise

127

:

Z and it just, yeah. So when ChatGPT did come

128

:

out I was already in. Right. I already had a

129

:

kind of almost that AI first mindset. How can AI

130

:

help me, collaborate with me? How can I get it

131

:

to get my genius out? How can I get it

132

:

to get my message across? Like I already had that

133

:

when ChatGPT come out. Early adopter. I used Chat GPT

134

:

to redesign my franchise opportunity through my earliest physical

135

:

education business to business partnerships. So instead of selling a

136

:

franchise, I now sell a business partnership opportunity where we

137

:

co own and start a region together. So that's been

138

:

super successful. We're up to five business partners now and

139

:

I absolutely love that journey and I love business startup

140

:

and that kind of works really nice for me and

141

:

giving people opportunities and painting the picture of what could

142

:

be. And then I managed to exit my health and

143

:

fitness business. Early 2024 because I created

144

:

a lot of digital assets thanks to Chat GPT and

145

:

so one of my trainers were able to buy a

146

:

lot of my assets off me and rebrand them. So

147

:

then just over a year ago, it was actually June

148

:

2024, I decided to do some AI training into some

149

:

local businesses. And when I say AI training back then,

150

:

it doesn't seem like that long ago, but it was

151

:

just like what is generative AI? Decades ago in AI

152

:

time. I. I know, right? What is Generative AI? What

153

:

is Chat GPT? Just crushing the myths about using it.

154

:

You don't being techie too old, it's going to take

155

:

everybody's jobs and to be fair, back then I probably

156

:

would have said yeah it would, it might do like

157

:

I probably wasn't as. Definitely wasn't as established in my

158

:

thought leadership concepts around where I think Generative AI is

159

:

having a transformation in business. But yeah, it was a

160

:

journey in that first six months of delivering workshops and

161

:

helping businesses and then yeah, at the beginning of the

162

:

year 2025 I went into the consultancy world, consult on

163

:

AI transformations for businesses and then where are we now?

164

:

October get opportunities to talk to people like you, talk

165

:

about all things business and life and yeah, really enjoying

166

:

the journey. So there we are. Amazing, amazing. And you,

167

:

yeah, having the sporting background, I presume you have a

168

:

routine that is non negotiable on, on your physical and

169

:

mental side. So let's talk a little bit about that.

170

:

I love the approach that I've got at the moment

171

:

that I've worked on quite hard, just getting my breath

172

:

work and getting my meditation and getting my cold exposure

173

:

and yeah getting some ptm and if I don't get

174

:

that four or five days a week or four or

175

:

five times a week, then I just don't perform as

176

:

well. How do you approach that and how do you

177

:

weave that into what you do? Yeah, I really love

178

:

that and I'm really pleased that we are having this

179

:

conversation now and not two weeks. Because two weeks ago

180

:

I was definitely heading towards some type of burnout and

181

:

I realized just last week I was on a business

182

:

retreat in, at the Belfry in Birmingham and the first

183

:

workshop we did was performance and I think that what

184

:

has got me where I am now has been my

185

:

high performance habits which I'll list off my routines in

186

:

a second. But what's going to get me to my

187

:

next level? I'm going to need to think about some

188

:

additions to that. What are the tweaks that are going

189

:

to need to my current habits. What's serving me now,

190

:

what's not, what have I outgrown, what's not challenging me.

191

:

I just felt very comfortable and I was like, this

192

:

is, this is not good for my next level. And

193

:

then because I wasn't feeling like I was pushing to

194

:

that next level, I. I then was in a mindset

195

:

of frustration, big word, like massive frustration. Feeling overworked,

196

:

like I was doing lots of extra things to help

197

:

people. But then I wasn't really helping people because actually

198

:

I was doing too much for them sometimes. And I

199

:

know you know this and your audience do as well,

200

:

sometimes you can do too much for people, which doesn't

201

:

help them at all. And I was really doing that.

202

:

And then the kind of resentment was coming in about

203

:

that and just all my feelings were getting on top

204

:

of me. And when I say burnout, I wasn't burnout

205

:

as in I didn't get up, I didn't. It wasn't

206

:

that extreme. I think I meant, I think what I

207

:

mean was burnout with that mental capacity because I was

208

:

having too many negative thoughts too often during the day.

209

:

And I think that I thrive myself to be the

210

:

person that does four top things for me. One is

211

:

I love setting intentions. I make sure my intentions are

212

:

set for the week. Sometimes even in the morning my

213

:

intentions are set for the day, sometimes they're not because

214

:

I'm a mom of two and my first three hours

215

:

of the day is my mom Judy. And then normally

216

:

I'm like chasing my tail or whatever, but I will

217

:

always set my intentions at the beginning of the week

218

:

of what I want to achieve. And I also, when

219

:

I put in that what I want to achieve, I

220

:

link it to the energy I want to feel. Because

221

:

if I put that energy, so energy of like clarity

222

:

energy or like CEO energy of, or high performance energy

223

:

or family mum supportive energy. If I don't, if I

224

:

don't put that energy link, I almost don't show

225

:

up in the right energy. Like I have to make

226

:

that link. Lots of people talk about emotions linked to

227

:

emotions, but for me that doesn't work because I think

228

:

I'm so driven sometimes that I'll overcome any emotions I'm

229

:

feeling and I'll put them aside. So the emotions doesn't

230

:

work for me, but the energy does. What energy do

231

:

I want to show up as? That works for me.

232

:

So yeah, intention setting for me is the first one.

233

:

The second one is reflection or like reflection time or

234

:

I just call it like mental load offloading time. I

235

:

try and make sure there's something transitioned in my diary

236

:

at least every day for that, whether that's in the

237

:

evening or whether that's. I just talked to you about

238

:

what we've been up to today. I said, oh, I

239

:

went to the gym and had a cheeky jacuzzi. And

240

:

that was my reflection, my reset time. I need to

241

:

make sure I do that. And then my third, like,

242

:

high performance habit is me physically feeling like I am

243

:

looking after my body and everybody looks different. What do

244

:

I want to be fit for purpose for at the

245

:

moment? What do I need to be fit for purpose

246

:

for? And how am I physically looking after myself? And

247

:

then my last one, which is probably where I really

248

:

felt let down in the last couple of months, which

249

:

I realized last weekend was social. A high performance habit

250

:

for me is being social. I can hide away sometimes.

251

:

I am very driven. So if I've got something on

252

:

my list or my intentions or my goals, I am

253

:

like all head down to get that done. And I

254

:

forget that actually the ability to socialize, whether that be

255

:

with one person, a lot of people showing up, sometimes

256

:

even that socializing is with my children. I know that

257

:

sounds silly, but, like, I need to get out of

258

:

my own head and be present with other people. And

259

:

that is like my four high performance habits that if

260

:

I somehow am not really aware of any of them

261

:

and I'm. I consistently let myself down. And that is

262

:

when the overwhelm hits for me and a little bit

263

:

of the mental load burnout comes. Yeah, I like that.

264

:

I think the. The reality for me and I just

265

:

spent. I said to you, I've just spent the day

266

:

teaching high performance leaders at Cranfield University. And yeah,

267

:

the reality is that if we don't look after ourselves,

268

:

we cannot show up for others. Yeah. And I know

269

:

that's almost. Oh, yes, obviously. But people don't live it,

270

:

right? They don't live it. And I talk about energy

271

:

a lot, the same as you alluding to there. And

272

:

there's the energy that we're given every day. We're given

273

:

a pot of 100% of energy. And if we are

274

:

thinking about yesterday and thinking about the things we haven't

275

:

done, we give some energy to yesterday. And if we're

276

:

thinking about tomorrow and what's coming, we're giving some energy

277

:

to tomorrow. So now we don't have the energy. And

278

:

for me, this is my. My routine as a morning

279

:

routine so I can set myself up for the day.

280

:

Breath, work, meditation, bet cold exposure. And those things just

281

:

clear Away the energy. You do something odd in the

282

:

morning and call the exposure. No matter how you do

283

:

it, it's hard. Right? Yeah. I've done 1500, 2000 ice

284

:

balls and every time I get in it's. What am

285

:

I doing? And I've just spent 10

286

:

days in Egypt. So tomorrow when I get in the

287

:

ice bath, it's going to be really cold because even

288

:

the cold showers in Egypt, a lot warmer than the

289

:

cold showers. Yeah. So I think it's so important, especially

290

:

as entrepreneurs, that we respect that we have to look

291

:

after ourselves. And I like the other thing you were

292

:

saying there about reinventing that because as a sports person,

293

:

you spent your whole life going through getting better and

294

:

getting better and getting better and we get comfortable, then

295

:

we don't get better. Yeah, I love learning. I spend

296

:

all day learning about all sorts of things and I

297

:

dig into learning and that's something that really feeds me.

298

:

And yeah, if I'm not learning, I start feeling very

299

:

stale. But I've also got a. I'm going to stop

300

:

learning in some stages that I can do. So that

301

:

becomes the bit of a challenge. And yeah, yeah, this

302

:

process of flushing up my previous emotions and breath work

303

:

is so good with that. I don't know if you've

304

:

done any breath work, but doing the breath work to

305

:

flush out my emotions every day, that really helps. Yeah,

306

:

yeah, yeah, yeah. Really interesting. I think I figured out

307

:

last week at the retreat, I was at the business

308

:

retreat, I was at one of the kind of, of

309

:

next level things that I'm going to start doing and

310

:

it was. And I don't know if you've heard of

311

:

this and I wish I remembered the author that put

312

:

this together. I might have to go away and look

313

:

for it, but it is the difference between the gap

314

:

and the gains mindset. So I think I've been. Because

315

:

I'm so driven and I felt like I was getting

316

:

frustrated. I think I spend a lot of time in

317

:

the gap mindset of, oh, gosh, I haven't reached that

318

:

goal yet, or I haven't done what I said I

319

:

was going to do there yet, or I haven't managed

320

:

to deliver this or, or I thought I would be

321

:

further along in my training. Like the gap. Like it's

322

:

that gap mindset of this is where I started, this

323

:

is where I want to get. But I'm so focused

324

:

on why I haven't got there yet. You know, I'm

325

:

like overanalyzing why I haven't got there yet and not

326

:

either. Not Trusting the process or getting really frustrated. So

327

:

the energy and the thoughts that come around in that

328

:

gap mindset is really limited thinking. There's a little bit

329

:

of fear, frustration, resentment. Like I said already, there's quite

330

:

a lot that hangs out in that area for me.

331

:

So one thing that I'm trying to work on now

332

:

is move to that gains mindset of, look

333

:

where I started, look where I am now, look at

334

:

what I've gained to get there and then reflect and

335

:

go. These three gains are gonna. What's going to propel

336

:

me to get to where I'm hoping to get to.

337

:

And I think that automatically. I don't know, I felt

338

:

that already. Just talk to like, I already felt like

339

:

almost like that next authority level of. Yeah, that's exactly

340

:

where I might. I just automatically. Something came through my

341

:

body just by saying, look how far I've come already

342

:

and just reflecting on what I've done to get where

343

:

I am now and what can I take forward to

344

:

to get to where I want to go. So that

345

:

gains mindset. So that's one of the things that I'm.

346

:

I've been working on this week. I think there's something

347

:

in that randomly. One of the things that I. I

348

:

have done and done a fair amount of is coaching

349

:

people to fly in the winter. So I coach skydiving

350

:

and I coach winter offline. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. I

351

:

love it. And skydivers are entrepreneurial

352

:

by nature in that, you know, they're always pushing and

353

:

pushing and they're always trying to. And they get very

354

:

much into that gap mindset. Yeah, I just want to

355

:

be. How many times I've heard somebody come and say,

356

:

I just want to be able to do this, I

357

:

just want to be able to do that. And I

358

:

learned a while ago that going through and going to

359

:

the next level, there's always another level. There's always another

360

:

level. There's always some guy who's 20 years old who's

361

:

just going to fly rings around you and you're always

362

:

going to want to push there. And if you can't

363

:

enjoy the journey, if you can't enjoy the process of

364

:

learning. Yeah. Then don't bother doing it. Literally, if you're

365

:

just going to keep on pushing. And that comes back

366

:

to what I was saying earlier about energy. Because by

367

:

doing the gap mindset, you're actually giving energy to the

368

:

future. You don't have it today, you literally. You can't

369

:

spend that energy today. And if you don't have it

370

:

today, if you think about what that's actually doing for

371

:

you. Right. You're not able to to put the energy

372

:

into today. So you don't get the outcomes today and

373

:

you don't get the progress today. And it's just this

374

:

in learning to enjoy the moment in everything we do.

375

:

I mean, this morning I woke up, we talk AI

376

:

broad. Do you use Claude much? Oh, Claude's

377

:

my go to. There's a Sonos 4.5 is out there.

378

:

And yeah, I was trying the new version this morning

379

:

and using a couple of different pieces and. It

380

:

just blew my mind entirely again at how detailed

381

:

and how well it's interacting and responding. And yeah,

382

:

I then went to chat because I put them next

383

:

to each other. So I use Jen Spark, I use

384

:

Claude, I use ChatGPT, I use, you know, Gemini and

385

:

put them together and just see which. Which is which.

386

:

And chatgpt, yeah, not so much, but they've really taken

387

:

a slight dive down in my estimation. My own humble

388

:

estimation. And Claude just entirely blue. I

389

:

was able to normally attach a bit to you when

390

:

you go in and you say, okay, I need a

391

:

long list of things done. It'll do the first five

392

:

things well and then the rest of this won't do.

393

:

Yeah, I literally had this entire list just spat out

394

:

for me. Implaud. So again, where it would have taken

395

:

me, I think when we started using AI, both of

396

:

us, it was this case of, okay, I don't write

397

:

very well either. I don't touch type. And being able

398

:

to vocalize and then getting that vocalization to come out

399

:

and my thoughts to appear on a page and then

400

:

to adjust those thoughts, keeping the thought leadership for sure,

401

:

was just such a game changer. Just allowed me to

402

:

do so much more. Now you're getting to the stage

403

:

where these things just become better and better. Yeah. If

404

:

you haven't already, Both Claude and chatgpt have gone very,

405

:

very bespoke down the agent like agentic workflows. So ChatGPT

406

:

have released SDK and their agent mode has really upped

407

:

the vibe. But Claude was amazing. So last night I

408

:

had a play around with have you used the Imagine?

409

:

No, but it's on the list for this afternoon. Honestly,

410

:

you are going to be blown away and you're gonna

411

:

have so much fun. It is out of this world.

412

:

The only thing that I love. I tell you what

413

:

I loved about it and this is a mindset thing.

414

:

Pushing my dog down. Sorry, please go away. This is

415

:

a mindset thing. So we are now working with generative

416

:

AI that You can almost given

417

:

give a outcome that you want with some context and

418

:

a little bit more openness about how the agent's going

419

:

to achieve it. And then you let the agent do

420

:

the thinking of how they're going to achieve what you

421

:

want. And that is a different way to think of

422

:

it. Because if we think about a general chat we've

423

:

been going and we've been can you do this for

424

:

me? And oh, can, you know, I'm looking for you

425

:

to be able to write this content or can you

426

:

be my brainstorm partner on this? But, but it's so

427

:

narrow thinking. It's almost like we, it's almost like we

428

:

have to give it step by step to get to

429

:

where we want to. Like we all have to change

430

:

like almost what we do in life when we do,

431

:

when we set one, three, five year goals or whatever,

432

:

like where do you want to get? And then sometimes

433

:

that's the vision, right? The mission, the vision. And then

434

:

if we break that down into strategy and then you

435

:

break that down to tactics and sometimes you don't know

436

:

the tactics, you only know the strategy and then other

437

:

times you know the tactics but you're not quite sure

438

:

how it fits into the strategy. But at the end

439

:

of the day you still have your mission and your

440

:

vision. And I think that's the same when working with

441

:

an AI, especially now that the agent modes can out

442

:

of this world what they can do, just hit them

443

:

with a mission or a vision or an outcome, hit

444

:

them with that, give it some context about the strategy

445

:

of why you need to do it and then let

446

:

it do the tactics, let it do that for it

447

:

because it's the smartest thing. Keep, keep adding that domain

448

:

expertise in which is your personal knowledge, experience and perspective.

449

:

Because at the end of the day generative AI got

450

:

as smart as it is from our human knowledge and

451

:

it's at the point now where it keeps training on

452

:

our human knowledge, but it's training on its own knowledge

453

:

now. And if we don't keep adding as much human

454

:

domain expertise as possible, we're going to have AIs in

455

:

2030 that are just AI trained on AI. There's not

456

:

enough per human elements to any of their training. So

457

:

it's really important that we think about that ethically of

458

:

adding as as much point as possible. But going back

459

:

to that mindset, it's give them a mission, give the

460

:

agent a mission, maybe give it some context to add

461

:

in a bit of strategy and then leave the rest

462

:

of the strategy and the tactics to it and let

463

:

it just blow your mind about what it can achieve.

464

:

And at the end of the day I believe AI

465

:

is here to amplify our intelligence. Yeah. Yeah. I agree

466

:

with that. I think on that point as well. We've

467

:

spoken a couple of times about thought leadership and I

468

:

think that's a very important piece of AI I work

469

:

with. I've been using a lot of N8N and make.com

470

:

and Zapier and these automations and flows. And as you

471

:

go through the process of actually setting these things up

472

:

and working with them, you end up understanding that you

473

:

have to still keep. Sorry. Hello.

474

:

How are you? Sorry everybody. No worries. Yeah. And being

475

:

the architect. Right. Yeah. There's this architectural role in AI

476

:

now that I think there's going to be a few

477

:

select humans that end up doing very well. Yeah. 100

478

:

without this architect role. Yes. I can go to a

479

:

court and say I'm building an innate hand workflow and

480

:

I want to do some this. And it'll go off

481

:

and it'll do a whole bunch of stuff. Yeah. And

482

:

then there's 10% of it or 20% or 30% that

483

:

just won't work as well. And if you don't keep

484

:

that human kind of element of what. I'm the thought

485

:

leader. I'm running the show here. Yeah. And I want

486

:

you to help me. I hope you're doing this wrong.

487

:

I hope you're doing that wrong. Over you. This wrong.

488

:

Yeah. You end up getting something that's not created by

489

:

you. Yeah. 100 yeah. And that's just keep on feeding.

490

:

And this is my vision. This is my goal. This

491

:

is. These are my words. Yeah. And I feel that's

492

:

really where the power is going to come from. If

493

:

you can. If we can bring, like you said, you

494

:

can keep on bringing more human into it and keep

495

:

on bringing the human up to the top. And AI

496

:

is pretty good at emotion now. Yeah. But then you,

497

:

you can tell the difference. Right? You can tell the

498

:

difference if you don't bring it in. And that's I

499

:

think what people start using it. They start using ChatGPT

500

:

and. Yeah. It's okay. Yeah. And then the hum and

501

:

horror about it because they haven't come back and reiterated

502

:

until they've got to almost their own words but not

503

:

quite their own words. That makes sense. Yeah. 100 and

504

:

I think also we don't realize that there is actually

505

:

an element of the education of AI. Like we have

506

:

been given generative AI models to play with the numbers

507

:

endless. I think we're up to something like 22, 23

508

:

AI models. Like, it's insane what's available, and we don't

509

:

really know how to use it. And we're, like, playing

510

:

around and testing and trying to keep up with things.

511

:

But there is a. There is an element of the

512

:

education of AI, like AI literacy. Do you know the

513

:

security measures? Do you realize some of the little arts

514

:

of prompting? Do you realize that you can customize your

515

:

AI? Do you realize you can use deep research? Do

516

:

you realize you can add a second brain to your

517

:

AI by creating a project or a space or an

518

:

agent, as it's called in Microsoft Copilot? You know that

519

:

second brain is extra files and then custom instructions. Do

520

:

you realize you can do that? Oh, and then. Do

521

:

you realize you can now use agent? An agentic workflow.

522

:

So an agent mode, an agent that again, you give

523

:

it an outcome, and then an outcome of what you

524

:

want, and then it sends off the agents that it

525

:

needs to do to achieve that for you. Did you

526

:

realize that you can do something called vibe coding, which

527

:

is basically talking to an agent, telling them what you

528

:

want, and it goes off and creates the code and

529

:

creates it for you. Like, the thing is, we don't

530

:

know we can actually do that yet, and we're using

531

:

it so simply because we haven't understood that

532

:

there is actually the education of AI. Like, you do

533

:

need to learn how to use this amazing technology not

534

:

just for business, but for life. I got to guest

535

:

on a podcast last night which was amazing. It was

536

:

called the two two Mums podcast, I think. And I

537

:

had to riff on, like, all of the ways that

538

:

I use AI for life, not anything to do with

539

:

business. It was so much fun. I talk about my.

540

:

My recipe. I call it Recipe Rascal, a project in

541

:

Gemini. I've got it. It's a gem in Gemini. And

542

:

I just take pictures of our fridge, and it's trained

543

:

on all things about my children, what they like, they

544

:

don't take a picture and, like, help me create a

545

:

meal. And this is. We did sausage and mash, and

546

:

my young one goes, we had this just the other

547

:

day. And I. We didn't. Gemini. When did I last

548

:

cook this? Oh, yeah, it was three weeks ago. And

549

:

even this morning, we were driving to school. Gemini is

550

:

my favorite to talk to. It's probably because it's a

551

:

bit more educational and the vibes not, I don't know,

552

:

corny. Like, it's quite a nice vibe. So we're driving

553

:

to school this morning, and this the moon is out

554

:

like full moon. It's absolutely beautiful. So I said, oh,

555

:

I wonder why that's out. And my four year old

556

:

obviously didn't know over her head. And my 8 year

557

:

old knew probably a little bit more to be than

558

:

me to be fair. She loves learning information. I said,

559

:

let's ask Gemini. So you jump onto Gemini. Gemini. We're

560

:

in Oxfordshire in the UK, it's 8am we can see

561

:

a full moon. Can you explain why we can see

562

:

that? And then I said, oh, Evie's here, she's four.

563

:

Can you. She's going to ask you some questions. And

564

:

then I think Evie's question was, how come I can't

565

:

see the stars right now when I can see the

566

:

moon? And then Ella Rose is my oldest one and

567

:

her question was something about the sun being a star

568

:

or something like that. And we just ended up talking

569

:

to Gemini all morning learning something. But it was fun.

570

:

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how I got to that

571

:

point, but I think the point of AI is it.

572

:

It. We can't just think about it for business, in

573

:

my opinion. We can't just think about it as business

574

:

processes or saving time. We have to think about as

575

:

a whole. I'll dig into that a little bit more.

576

:

You mentioned beginning of the conversation about the brainstorming and

577

:

I use AI specifically to help me unload my

578

:

mind. So I brain dump everything into it. Yeah. And

579

:

when I'm. Especially when I'm right now, I don't have

580

:

very much to brain dump because I've just got back

581

:

from Egypt. Yeah. So my mind's quite empty. Yeah. But

582

:

yeah, when I do get to the point of, okay,

583

:

I've got this on this one, I've got this on

584

:

over the next couple of days I'll just. This is

585

:

my goal for the next three weeks. Yeah. I need

586

:

to get these things done and I'm just going to

587

:

brainstorm everything that's in my mind and can you give

588

:

me a list of what order I should do it

589

:

in? So that was. That's very useful. And then I've

590

:

used ChatGPT extensively in the past that the talking function

591

:

to actually have a. You sit down. I'm an engineer

592

:

or I was an engineer for many years and I,

593

:

I learned something early on that if there's one engineer

594

:

sitting working on a problem, it might take a while,

595

:

but I put another engineer sitting next to them and

596

:

they just have a conversation. It gets done much quicker.

597

:

So how do we use this technology to. To supplement

598

:

the human Condition. Right. How do we use it for

599

:

this technology to actually say, okay, yeah, it is. AI

600

:

is the next evolution. Yeah. And we instead of thinking

601

:

inside our brains now, we can start thinking outside our

602

:

brains. And that's a bit of an odd statement, but

603

:

would let me go in a little bit deeper. Yeah.

604

:

Beforehand we take books and we learn and we learn.

605

:

Yeah. And then we process internally and we come after

606

:

something. But nowadays we don't. We don't have to do

607

:

it anymore. We just need to know what the problem

608

:

is. Yeah. And then we can go out and the

609

:

information is stored in other places outside and we can

610

:

then go in. Yeah. And solve the problem. So, yeah,

611

:

I'm just able to do so much more with so

612

:

much less internal processing that I think if we can

613

:

start using AI in that format. Yeah. And teaching that

614

:

the kids, the way the youngsters are using it is

615

:

so much different from the way we use it. Right.

616

:

Yeah. Yeah. So it's an interesting. It's an interesting player,

617

:

I think. Think. Where are we going to be in

618

:

schools? Where are we going to be in universities? Where

619

:

are we going to be in all these other places?

620

:

Because now we can actually solve much bigger problems because

621

:

we have access to all the knowledge everywhere. And information

622

:

is no longer an expensive thing. No. 100%. The leverage

623

:

has changed. I think back in the day it was

624

:

people with the leverage and then it was labor. It

625

:

was a group of people who thinks to manufacturing. And

626

:

then leverage become the ability to raise capital. And

627

:

then the leverage became the ability to hit big markets

628

:

via the Internet. And then the next leverage became media.

629

:

Right. That you could get a piece of content out

630

:

there. That was leverage. The Internet. The Internet was coding,

631

:

so that was the leverage. And then we're up to

632

:

media. And then I think with AI, the leverage is

633

:

the ability to create. Create products, services,

634

:

to solve a problem at the speed of light without

635

:

needing any of those leverages we've had before. Without needing

636

:

people, without needing labor, without needing money, without needing code,

637

:

and without needing media. So all of those are out

638

:

the window. We are at the point where all it

639

:

is solving problems. You know, if you could pick a

640

:

problem to solve and you're full of ideas, you can

641

:

MVP it at any point and you can progress from

642

:

there. And I think that's really exciting. But I think

643

:

that's also a bit scary because traditional businesses are going

644

:

to need to learn how to adjust to that. And

645

:

there was a stat that I was talking about to

646

:

a recruitment company this morning that I was doing a

647

:

Workshop with because it's very relevant for them. And Jen,

648

:

Jen Alpha, I think I might have told this stuff

649

:

to you before. Gen Alpha, who were born 2010-2013, 64%

650

:

of their jobs do not currently exist and they'll be

651

:

in the workforce by 2030. But also another stat that's

652

:

really important is 76% of them want to start their

653

:

own business, they want to be entrepreneurs. Only 13% of

654

:

them want to work for other people. So how does

655

:

that work with the shift that we're doing now? Will

656

:

businesses end up having more consultants or contractors? Will there

657

:

be more shares in a business? Will people be doing

658

:

business partnerships because they want to be entrepreneurs? They don't

659

:

want to come in at the traditional bottom level and

660

:

work them might work themselves up. They're only going to

661

:

be. Yeah, the stats are 13 that will want to

662

:

work for somebody else. 76% of them want to start

663

:

their own business and 64 of their jobs do not

664

:

currently exist. I can't even wrap my head up even

665

:

though I'm in the industry and I know where we're,

666

:

I know where we're going, I know we're all going

667

:

to have agents that are set up to do a

668

:

lot of tasks for us. I do believe that if

669

:

you're in the leisure industry, you're in a good position

670

:

because people are to crave human connection. I do believe

671

:

that there's a massive shift in education, online education. We

672

:

are implement information for free implementation for a fee. Online

673

:

courses are going to be dead. Like all of that

674

:

is massively changing and I know that, but I still

675

:

can't get my head around what on earth it's going

676

:

to. What on earth it's going to look like. Yeah,

677

:

really interesting. How do we go now into this next

678

:

stage? And actually I always used to pride myself on

679

:

being able to look forward five years and see where

680

:

things were going same and now I've got, if I

681

:

can do three months, I'm like, okay. What I do

682

:

see happening and you know there's going to be like

683

:

you say leisure travel, people that are massage people and

684

:

physically using their hands and interacting with people. Those will

685

:

be a much more attractive position. Yeah, but then you're

686

:

going to have all the 70% of people that are

687

:

currently not working flowing into those jobs. The plumbers, the

688

:

electricians, the, the builders. There's going to be a flux

689

:

there. So it's going to be this really intense change

690

:

of what we're doing and yeah, it's where it goes.

691

:

Who knows God, I know. Yeah, yeah. I'm wondering now

692

:

though, what do you think about the adoption of AI

693

:

across companies? What are you seeing out there? Yeah, there's

694

:

so many people. Yes, I use Chat GPT and 95

695

:

of people that are using ChatGPT or maybe rewriting emails.

696

:

Yeah. And it's just there's this perception that, oh,

697

:

it's going to make me lazy and yes, it will

698

:

in some cases, but it can also make you a

699

:

much deeper thinker. Yeah, but the calculator didn't make us

700

:

lazy and the Excel spreadsheet didn't make us lazy, it

701

:

made us more powerful. Anyway, I'm probably different to you

702

:

in many ways in my thoughts because I do not

703

:

start with automations and I know that's where, where your

704

:

superpower is. So, yeah, I don't start with automations. I

705

:

start with how do we amplify the human in every

706

:

element of what they're doing? How do we change their

707

:

job description? So their job description is them using AI

708

:

powered workflows. So that's where I start. And I often

709

:

start with a couple of things, like what AI system

710

:

are you guys is the business using? And does the

711

:

business own the intellectual property? You'd be surprised at how

712

:

many SMEs. I work with a creative agency the other

713

:

day where they're all using personal ChatGPT accounts and they're

714

:

trying to sell in two years. And I'm like, you

715

:

don't own any data. Like, it's got nothing to do

716

:

with, with data security or ip. They don't have any

717

:

secure information about any of the clients, anything like that.

718

:

They don't have any of that. That's not the problem.

719

:

They're all creative, they're just doing proposals. I'm like, what

720

:

if one of the ladies there's called Zoe? What if

721

:

Zoe leaves? You can't access any of her chats. So

722

:

that's the first thing of, okay, we are moving to

723

:

using AI every day. How are you keeping it within

724

:

the business for intellectual property? Because if you need to

725

:

go and try and chain an agent to create your

726

:

templates for some of your creative stuff, how do you

727

:

do that if you don't have the chat that to

728

:

do the training? Because all data, whether it be synthetic,

729

:

which is off the. Off what the AI creates or

730

:

whether it be real data, which is conversations between humans,

731

:

like it doesn't matter. They're both really valuable and you

732

:

need both of them and you'd have access to both

733

:

of them. So yeah, start a little Bit with that.

734

:

And then like I said, my kind of three stages,

735

:

which is your basic level security customization within your AI.

736

:

And then we look at next level which is creating

737

:

your assistants, your AI assistants, your GPTs, your however

738

:

else. I think they're called agents in copilot that next

739

:

level of personalized AI. And then we move to agent

740

:

what, what pre trained agents can you create or work

741

:

with? What agentic workflows can you create? And then we

742

:

look a little bit of. I do think the differentiation

743

:

is those that are using AI are good now and

744

:

I'm so pleased they are. We are using AI and

745

:

especially since this time last year, it was, it was

746

:

hard work to get some people to even try. So

747

:

the fact that they're using it is amazing. But where

748

:

the big advantage is going to be is that build

749

:

with AI. That is going to be the difference. It

750

:

was back in the revolution of industrial, it was those

751

:

people that use the machines and then those people that

752

:

built the machines. We know those that built the machines

753

:

were the ones that were able to fly above everybody

754

:

else. So it's the same with AI. Those that use

755

:

AI are good, you'll stay ahead of the curve, you

756

:

do your things. But those that build with AI will

757

:

really make the impact. So we start to look a

758

:

little bit about vibe coding and then we look at

759

:

agents and automations and so forth. But I tend to

760

:

do it last because one, it's probably not my superpower

761

:

like yours, but two, I do think in a lot

762

:

of businesses the systems are broken and no automation is

763

:

gonna. No AI automation. That's where I start. I look

764

:

at the business operating system, I Look at the SOPs,

765

:

you know, I look at what's the actual. Where are

766

:

the problems? Many businesses, I see the challenge is that

767

:

the knowledge sits in the admin person's head and the

768

:

salesperson's head and the marketer's head and they know how

769

:

to get the workflow from A to B to C.

770

:

But it's not documented anywhere. And if it's not documented

771

:

anywhere, that's your first massive risk because that person then

772

:

leaves and then you have to work it all out.

773

:

So yeah, you may as well work it all out

774

:

now. Once you have it properly documented, then you can

775

:

start the process, whether it's agentical or whatever it is.

776

:

But without that you don't, you just don't get that.

777

:

No. Yeah. So where do you think the next six

778

:

months will take us? Oh yeah. So I think with

779

:

your off the shelf large language models like Claude and

780

:

chatgpt, they, they have just gone and really upped the

781

:

ability to use agent mode. So your Imagine's a perfect

782

:

example. On Claude in Gemini, you can go to Google

783

:

Studio for free and start building apps which you can

784

:

now share. And ChatGPT have just released their kind of

785

:

connectors, their SDKs as well, Software development kit it stands

786

:

for. So it's definitely become more accessible. So I think

787

:

the next six months is us at the. What I

788

:

would call. And I don't love saying this, but I

789

:

think it resonates with people, us non techies. I think

790

:

for us, the next six months is going to be

791

:

exploring the capabilities of creating and building with AI and

792

:

personalizing your AI. That's where I think the next six

793

:

month lies. I'm seeing such a challenge at the moment

794

:

because people are not using the power of AI to

795

:

save themselves time and therefore use that time to learn

796

:

more about how to use it. Yeah, there's this block

797

:

against AI. Yeah, I don't want to use it, I

798

:

can't use it. I'm just going to carry on. But

799

:

if you start engaging and start using it, then you

800

:

can learn more about it. And so many people will

801

:

start with, I said I'll use this for your holidays,

802

:

use it for your recipes, use this for just getting.

803

:

Just start using it. Yeah, because once you plant the

804

:

seed and you're like, oh, yes, I can do this

805

:

or I can do this, I can do this, then

806

:

you can actually start thinking about how this affects your

807

:

business. That's a process. It's a process. I see people

808

:

getting left behind at the moment. I see there's this

809

:

gap widening and I think there's a whole new career

810

:

of the things that you're doing. Yeah. Coming in saying,

811

:

okay, actually, yeah, I'm gonna have to take your hand

812

:

and hold your hand and move you through this process

813

:

of learning. Yeah. So that people can shortcut it. And

814

:

one of the excuses I hear quite often is I'm

815

:

not going to learn now because in six months is

816

:

going to do it for me. It's getting more complicated

817

:

in a different way. Yeah, no, spot on. I agree

818

:

with all of that. But like, I just try and

819

:

remind people, like I come from an era of when

820

:

I was at uni, I was using a BlackBerry. The

821

:

BlackBerry is not around anymore. And it is a really

822

:

super simple analogy, but I had to learn to use

823

:

the smartphone and it changed my complete operating system. It

824

:

changed the way I access information, I communicate and I

825

:

make decisions. Everything is done through my Smartphone. The

826

:

same is going to be with AI. So, you know,

827

:

stop putting your ego ahead and stop putting any blocks

828

:

in there and address any fears you have. And of

829

:

course, just like any technology, there's pros and cons. Social

830

:

media, the amount of cons that are with there, that.

831

:

Do they outweigh the pros? I'm not sure. But at

832

:

the time, the pros were high for us all. And

833

:

then as time went on, there were cons. So there's

834

:

pros and cons to everything. Not saying that AI is

835

:

going to solve everything and it all smells like roses.

836

:

There are many issues, you know, related to that. But

837

:

at the end of the day, it is changing human,

838

:

humans. It's changing humans. Generative AI is changing humans. So

839

:

if it changes humans, it changes businesses and the economy

840

:

and therefore life. You know that now is not the

841

:

time to bury your head in the sand and make

842

:

excuses and let fear get in the way. Now is

843

:

the time to enjoy it, be creative of, use it,

844

:

create yourself a little challenge about it. And like you

845

:

said, enjoy the journey. I've got a little light behind

846

:

me. It says, enjoy every moment. And every time I

847

:

walk in, I turn it on. Every time I walk

848

:

out, I look at it, I go, did I enjoy

849

:

the moment of working today? Turn it off. Like, it's

850

:

just little reminders that you do have to enjoy the

851

:

journey. Because we don't know whether we're here tomorrow and

852

:

we don't. Sometimes we don't even know the positive impact

853

:

that we have on people in our lives unless we're

854

:

here and we're present. Yeah. And then that's just one

855

:

of the biggest blocks that I see, especially in businesses,

856

:

and it's such a difficult one. So I'm really interested

857

:

in your perspective. The element of security and

858

:

the perception of security in AI is causing many people

859

:

not to do AI. Yeah, it's insecure. I'm going to

860

:

put my. I've had questions about people saying, yeah, but

861

:

if I put my good idea into AI, then AI

862

:

is going to know about it and somebody else is

863

:

going to do it. And I come back to when

864

:

I've been in it for so long, your laptop, you

865

:

know, the settings on your Google, which is probably, if

866

:

you don't turn them off, it's recording every conversation. Your

867

:

phone, every single one of us is in the conversation,

868

:

and suddenly things pop up on your feed. What

869

:

is your perception of the risks of the security element

870

:

on AI? How do you mitigate those? The whole office

871

:

is talking, Everybody's Using that chatgpt from home. They're using

872

:

Gemini, they're doing the control element that people, companies think

873

:

they have, isn't there? Yeah. Conversely to that, what is

874

:

the actual risk of the security element in ar? Yeah,

875

:

a lot of lot to unpick there and I'm not

876

:

sure I could give it in a structured way, but

877

:

I'll just blurt out what I think. First of all,

878

:

there's the education of it. Like, like we have all

879

:

learned on emails that if something seems like a spam,

880

:

don't press the link. Like it is. You have to

881

:

learn that. You have to be told that you have

882

:

to. When. If you go into a corporate job, that's

883

:

like the whole data security and that whole process on

884

:

cyber security is one of your first trainings because it,

885

:

because, because it's the same in using AI. It is.

886

:

You should be on a paid version. If you're on

887

:

a paid version, your data is, is encrypted anyway. It's

888

:

only available on your cloud for 30 days as well.

889

:

It's only safe for 30 days. And you can easily

890

:

go into an AI. Perplexity is my favorite for this

891

:

and go in and say, I'm about to use this

892

:

AI tool. What is the security issues? And it's just

893

:

about up. It's just about upskilling yourself in that. And

894

:

all you've got to do is ask the question. But

895

:

it's the same. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like

896

:

you just have to learn these things. It they. It's

897

:

a very complicated field, but it's no different to email,

898

:

to tech spam, to, you know, people calling and trying

899

:

to get money off you, off the phone. It's the

900

:

same thing like that. We just have to be really

901

:

vigilant about it and understand that it's there. In terms

902

:

of flipping it to the ip, I disagree with it.

903

:

I want to be empathetic to the creative world. Don't

904

:

get me wrong, I totally do. And I think there

905

:

are a lot of companies doing their best to try

906

:

and encourage people not to use other people's intellectual property.

907

:

So if I went in and said I want to

908

:

train a GPT on this book, it will say this

909

:

book is copyrighted. There are steps like that available. But

910

:

in terms of like intellectual property, once you put something

911

:

out there to the world, yes, it is known to

912

:

come from you, but you can. Anyone's going to be

913

:

able to take that. Even if I go and read

914

:

your book, say you deliver a book, I've paid to

915

:

Read your book, but I can take your ideas and

916

:

I can put my own perspective on it and create

917

:

what I like. Mel Robbins is one of my favorite

918

:

motivational speakers. I don't know if you've heard of her,

919

:

but yeah, yeah. So one of her books, not Five,

920

:

four, three, the Concept Let Them, which is her last

921

:

book, she openly says that's her perspective on something she

922

:

learned from a personal development guru, which is she read,

923

:

but that's her perspective and she talked about how she

924

:

uses it. So once it's out there, it's creative. I

925

:

don't mean to be rude, but if you look at

926

:

all the pop artists like Bruno Mars, he got his

927

:

inspiration from Michael Jackson and then he goes and creates

928

:

a song and it's his intellectual, probably his copyright. I

929

:

get that. But at the end of the day, everyone's

930

:

learning off everybody. And I think AI just becomes.

931

:

Makes it a little bit more accessible and it makes

932

:

it a little bit more accessible for you to understand

933

:

a concept from your perspective or the questions that you

934

:

ask, which then allow you to produce something. So I

935

:

don't know. Look, I have empathy around the. Those in

936

:

the creative world, those that, that create scripts, you know,

937

:

that there's been their own work up until now, and

938

:

those that take pictures or draw artists and all of

939

:

a sudden, nano bananas recreating. I, I don't, I don't

940

:

get it because I'm not a creative. From that perspective,

941

:

I do empathize that it's tough, but I'm also believe

942

:

in abundance. And also I have, I have a mindset

943

:

that loves to create opportunities. So you can either sit

944

:

there and you can complain and you can, I don't

945

:

know, you can get upset about it and you can

946

:

rally and you can do all those things. Absolutely. But

947

:

you can also twitch switch something in your mind. That

948

:

said, that mindset that says, I have a superpower, I

949

:

have a skill set, I am experienced, I am knowledgeable,

950

:

and I have a perspective. What can I create? What

951

:

opportunities can I create for myself to move me forward,

952

:

to move the industry forward to. It takes people like

953

:

that in the world to step up. Up to allow

954

:

us to get through tough times where, you know, we

955

:

think that intellectual property is no longer safe. But yeah,

956

:

if you're on a. To go back to that. If

957

:

you're on a paid version of any large language model,

958

:

it's not using your data. Yeah. You know. Yeah. And

959

:

I think that. Yeah, we'll wrap up in a second.

960

:

I think there's so much going forward. Yeah. So much

961

:

change going forward that the only thing again that we

962

:

can guarantee is massive change. And yeah, best just prepare

963

:

yourself for it. And what do you say as a

964

:

final kind of statement? What would you say is the

965

:

best way for people to prepare themselves if they're not

966

:

even haven't even looked at AI yet? You got to

967

:

start, you got to start Delete. I'm not going to

968

:

say delete Google, but because Google now has AI search

969

:

so it's fine. Instead of going to Google for things

970

:

that you would go to, go to Perplexity AI download

971

:

Perplexity free version, use Perplexity instead of Google. Just start

972

:

chatting with ChatGPT or Gemini or Claude. Whichever one you

973

:

choose, just start chatting with it. Use the voice note

974

:

and just start chatting with it once a day. Get

975

:

ready to. Think about how you can be strategic using

976

:

an AI. Remember, it's not that it's not a intern

977

:

where you've got to give step by step instructions to.

978

:

It's the smartest thing we've done, we've had access to.

979

:

So just basically communicate what is an IT that you

980

:

think you want? And I say you think you want

981

:

because. My hubby will say something like, oh, if you

982

:

have a takeaway or something, he'll say something like, oh,

what takeaway do you want? And then he'll I don't

know, you choose. And he'll say Indian. I'll go, oh

985

:

no, I don't want an Indian. I don't know what

:

I want until I don't want that. I just say

:

we don't. We're humans, we think we want something, but

988

we don't. Keep that in mind when you're talking to

989

:

your AI as well or you're asking for something, just

990

:

start to think about an outcome that you want and

991

:

say the outcome that you want and then let the

992

:

magic happen around you. But remember that we have to

993

:

use it ethically and add as much human interaction to

994

:

the chat with your AI as possible. Get started, you

995

:

won't regret it. And like you say, Roy, enjoy the

996

:

journey. Thank you very much for joining me and I'll

997

:

put all your contact details on the podcast. And yeah,

998

:

we look forward to chatting in the future in six

999

:

month time and seeing what we actually have to say.
