How to Survive The Big AI Reset Happening Now, with Brad Sugars.

WEBVTT
00:00:00.021 --> 00:00:05.128
AI is waking people up to say, I need to take action.
00:00:05.479 --> 00:00:19.669
If you are alarmed about ai, you are thinking that maybe it's going too fast for you, or you've, been missing out already, or you're trying to catch up, then this interview with Brad Sugars is for you because Brad Sugars is the world's leading business coach.
00:00:19.669 --> 00:00:22.939
He's run action coach for over 30 years.
00:00:22.939 --> 00:00:30.039
and Brad answers some key questions about whether it's too late, how to get started with AI and what it means for you and your business as an entrepreneur.
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.988
And also what he would do if he had $500 and had to start all over again.
00:00:35.323 --> 00:00:35.713
So
00:00:35.713 --> 00:00:41.134
Brad with ai, tell us a little bit about, AI for you and when did you first encounter it?
00:00:41.134 --> 00:00:42.274
What made you think Aha.
00:00:42.274 --> 00:00:44.253
AI's gonna be It's
00:00:44.253 --> 00:00:48.993
interesting that we now call it ai, but Google's been AI for 20 years.
00:00:48.993 --> 00:00:52.774
The algorithm that Google goes and does its searches is artificial intelligence.
00:00:52.774 --> 00:00:54.933
It's an algorithm that searches data.
00:00:54.933 --> 00:01:03.973
Um, but when we look at what AI is becoming now, the speed with is adoption is a lot slower than most people think it is.
00:01:03.973 --> 00:01:09.996
You the average business owner is still struggling to update their Instagram and yet we are looking at ai.
00:01:09.996 --> 00:01:18.647
Now we've got about 80% of businesses saying they're using ai, there's only 1% to between one and 3% that are saying they're using it at a high level.
00:01:18.647 --> 00:01:19.727
Type thing.
00:01:19.727 --> 00:01:24.528
So we've still got time is the first thing that I think people need to understand.
00:01:24.528 --> 00:01:35.924
I've been playing with the AI programmes now for several years, When people understand we've moved from the information age into the intelligence age, I think that's where they start to get it.
00:01:35.924 --> 00:01:38.924
Because in the information age is all about getting information.
00:01:38.924 --> 00:01:49.245
and the intelligence age, it's interpreting that and there's too much information today for one person to be able to do it like you take a.
00:01:49.245 --> 00:01:51.712
CMO of a business right.
00:01:51.712 --> 00:02:03.832
So marketing, CMO, how would a CMO today read all of the analytics and all of the understandings of their website, their social, their HubSpot, like everything?
00:02:03.832 --> 00:02:07.852
To be able to read that every day or every week is almost impossible.
00:02:07.852 --> 00:02:26.518
Now to connect it all into, best one today is probably computer over on Perplexity to connect it all up to that and have it give you an analysis and then go and you, You know, that is one of the fastest ways to understand that take in all the information.
00:02:26.518 --> 00:02:29.698
AI can, and it can process it think
00:02:29.818 --> 00:02:35.307
we're also seeing is the move from information to the agent where it's doing the tasks with the information, right?
00:02:35.307 --> 00:02:38.397
So we've got the trend of having all the information on a dashboard.
00:02:38.397 --> 00:02:45.024
And now, Claude or Perplexity or Manus is able to take the information, actually do things, like with Claude Cowork,
00:02:45.038 --> 00:02:45.105
for
00:02:46.448 --> 00:02:50.237
When you say 1%, companies are really only implementing it at a very fractional level.
00:02:50.237 --> 00:02:54.948
Where do you think entrepreneurs and business owners should start, Brad?
00:02:54.948 --> 00:02:57.788
Because for many entrepreneurs, I think they're just overwhelmed, right?
00:02:57.788 --> 00:03:00.397
By the bombardment of do this, do that.
00:03:00.397 --> 00:03:02.138
where do you advise them to
00:03:02.323 --> 00:03:03.282
anything new.
00:03:03.282 --> 00:03:08.263
The idea is you start playing with You don't start using it First you start playing with it.
00:03:08.263 --> 00:03:12.402
So play with chat, play with copilot.
00:03:12.402 --> 00:03:13.182
start having it.
00:03:13.182 --> 00:03:14.502
Write something for you.
00:03:14.502 --> 00:03:16.002
Just do the basic things.
00:03:16.002 --> 00:03:22.152
The problem with most of it though, is that it's reactive, meaning you've gotta ask it to do something type thing.
00:03:22.152 --> 00:03:25.152
As you said, Now we're getting to a phase where suggest
00:03:25.152 --> 00:03:25.872
to you what
00:03:26.323 --> 00:03:27.432
doing type thing.
00:03:27.432 --> 00:03:35.763
So, for example, Our coaching app, it, it's not waiting for you to say, Hey Brad, what should I do today?
00:03:35.763 --> 00:03:44.872
It'll come to you and say, Hey, here's three things you should be thinking about based on, and so once you've connected it to your accounting or your sales or whatever it
00:03:44.872 --> 00:03:47.092
is, it will give you suggestions
00:03:47.212 --> 00:03:48.233
proactively.
00:03:48.233 --> 00:04:10.402
But the average business should be thinking about three Number one, are the companies you are having do work for you using So for example, if I've got a marketing agency, are they having people do the work or are they having AI do the Because if they're having people doing the work, it's costing me five to 10 times as much as it would if AI
00:04:10.462 --> 00:04:10.894
was doing
00:04:11.497 --> 00:04:15.318
So you think of ai as people got used to the idea of having.
00:04:15.318 --> 00:04:18.168
Virtual assistants that lived in other countries.
00:04:18.168 --> 00:04:19.697
So it was much cheaper type thing.
00:04:19.697 --> 00:04:27.737
Well, AI is the ultimate virtual but you've gotta be able to direct your virtual to be able to do now soon.
00:04:27.737 --> 00:04:29.807
You won't have to direct you.
00:04:29.807 --> 00:04:36.882
So that's the first thing are the agencies and companies you Second is the software you're using, AI enabled.
00:04:36.882 --> 00:04:46.218
If your accounting software isn't AI enabled, then you've gotta start upgrading to an AI enabled software so it can do the thinking for you.
00:04:46.218 --> 00:04:46.968
Okay?
00:04:46.968 --> 00:04:57.588
And third is get your team using So for example, if I'm sitting in a board meeting with my team, historically, we'd say, no computers today.
00:04:57.588 --> 00:05:05.117
We're Like have your laptop in there and any idea you have, I want it in chat, GPT or in whichever format you are using.
00:05:05.117 --> 00:05:09.077
I want it in there within 10 seconds of the idea And you getting it.
00:05:09.077 --> 00:05:14.057
'cause like I show the average business owner, go to chat GPT and say, chat GPT.
00:05:14.057 --> 00:05:17.447
Write me a prompt to do a SWOT analysis of my business.
00:05:17.447 --> 00:05:19.247
And this is the first lesson for everybody.
00:05:19.247 --> 00:05:21.468
Don't ever write the prompt yourself.
00:05:21.468 --> 00:05:23.237
Ask it to write the prompt.
00:05:23.237 --> 00:05:25.487
'cause your prompt will be like two lines.
00:05:25.487 --> 00:05:31.398
You ask it to write a prompt to do a SWOT analysis of your business, it'll write a 50 to a hundred line prompt.
00:05:31.398 --> 00:05:35.598
Copy it, paste it back into a new chat, and boom, away you go.
00:05:35.598 --> 00:05:46.283
But I get them to do a SWOT analysis of their business and within about 10 minutes, they're just blown away because a full SWOT analysis, you'll hit deep research use the full capability.
00:05:46.283 --> 00:05:48.432
So yes, You need a subscription for that.
00:05:48.432 --> 00:05:50.523
and I don't get any benefit from any of them.
00:05:50.523 --> 00:05:54.512
I like perplexity simply because it has great teams capability.
00:05:54.512 --> 00:06:01.262
Computer is phenomenal and it's, one subscription for all think that's where we should be starting.
00:06:01.593 --> 00:06:06.632
So we do some playing and I think, as you say, we're also seeing the, the existing legacy architecture.
00:06:06.632 --> 00:06:09.983
talk about perplexity Microsoft ecosystem.
00:06:09.983 --> 00:06:12.802
So you've gotta get your legacy systems.
00:06:12.802 --> 00:06:15.178
Working with whichever AI architecture
00:06:16.017 --> 00:06:16.298
Mm-hmm.
00:06:16.952 --> 00:06:20.413
You mentioned about letting the, AI start to do some work for you.
00:06:20.413 --> 00:06:22.692
What about some of the security issues?
00:06:22.692 --> 00:06:30.887
Because, you, can be training, especially if it's an open, an open platform, you can be training the LLM on your own Content.
00:06:30.887 --> 00:06:31.158
Right.
00:06:31.158 --> 00:06:31.877
your own data.
00:06:31.877 --> 00:06:32.507
So what
00:06:32.598 --> 00:06:37.218
of it you, do wanna train it on your own data because you want people to be able to find you too, remember?
00:06:37.218 --> 00:06:37.577
Oh, yeah.
00:06:37.577 --> 00:06:43.127
Because as an answer engine, people are using it like they use Google 'cause that's what they're used to doing.
00:06:43.127 --> 00:06:45.985
So they'll go to chat t and say, what's the best.
00:06:45.985 --> 00:06:50.478
Podcast for me to listen to on how to grow my business type thing?
00:06:50.478 --> 00:06:52.367
And it'll give it a few suggestions.
00:06:52.367 --> 00:06:55.577
So you definitely want it to be able to find you in that way.
00:06:55.577 --> 00:07:02.627
And anyone that tells you SEO is dead is completely because what does the LLM do to go and find itself?
00:07:02.627 --> 00:07:08.718
It still has to search the archives, which is still the Google or being architecture type thing.
00:07:08.718 --> 00:07:13.014
So we've still gotta have that, let's be blunt about the change in the world.
00:07:13.014 --> 00:07:17.197
when I started in business 30 years ago, I met Mike Bash.
00:07:17.197 --> 00:07:23.048
He was founding Vice President of Federal Express, and he said to me, Brad, 80% of business is, system is systemic.
00:07:23.048 --> 00:07:25.478
Meaning 80% of business is routine.
00:07:25.478 --> 00:07:27.577
You're doing the same job day in, day out.
00:07:27.577 --> 00:07:31.430
So build a system for it, checklist systems, et cetera.
00:07:31.430 --> 00:07:34.237
And he said 20% of business is humanised.
00:07:34.237 --> 00:07:38.535
So make sure you train your team well to handle the 20% that needs human interaction.
00:07:38.535 --> 00:07:42.458
we're going to, 80% will and robots.
00:07:42.458 --> 00:07:43.148
Now we're at about.
00:07:43.148 --> 00:07:43.687
40 to
00:07:43.687 --> 00:07:45.338
50% of business is computers
00:07:45.338 --> 00:07:46.350
and robots today.
00:07:46.350 --> 00:07:50.144
if you just look at the car manufacturing industry example.
00:07:50.144 --> 00:07:52.185
Cell phone manufacturing.
00:07:52.185 --> 00:08:11.149
It's it, no, there's five humans and a thousand bloody robots doing the whole thing So we've gotta understand that that's where we're moving now, a hundred years ago to this year, Henry Ford changed us in, from the 12 hours a day, he's like, sun up to sundown Six days a week he had the Sabbath.
00:08:11.149 --> 00:08:13.250
He moved us to a 40 hour work week.
00:08:13.250 --> 00:08:19.430
and He started paying his wages much higher than anyone else did, and everyone thought he's crazy.
00:08:19.430 --> 00:08:20.720
Business is gonna go crazy.
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.189
You can't possibly do that.
00:08:22.189 --> 00:08:30.319
My prediction is we're gonna move to approximately a 20 hour work week in the next 10 Now people will say, oh, you can't possibly do that.
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:47.129
Yes you can because your people are doing five to 10 times as much if they're actually using AI than they did before, And in your company will not be necessary, we will have Jim, I I'll make a prediction.
00:08:47.129 --> 00:08:47.250
Yeah.
00:08:47.250 --> 00:08:51.509
We will have a $1 billion a year company with one employee.
00:08:51.509 --> 00:08:52.769
We will have that the
00:08:52.924 --> 00:08:53.225
10 years.
00:08:53.225 --> 00:08:59.299
I've heard there's a couple of brothers that have got a billion dollar business and so it's completely doable and it's happening
00:08:59.509 --> 00:09:06.950
Yeah, you'll have agencies and outsource stuff, but you won't need more than one employee to have a dollar company the way the world is moving.
00:09:06.950 --> 00:09:12.659
So these are some of the things that we've gotta be understanding the labour force.
00:09:12.659 --> 00:09:14.340
This is a massive
00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:14.712
shift
00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:20.490
You're moving from the old business model of labour being what you sold.
00:09:20.490 --> 00:09:27.210
So you hired someone and you sold them out at a higher rate than you hired them Well, now it's about capital.
00:09:27.210 --> 00:09:30.330
So how does the capital be work?
00:09:30.330 --> 00:09:36.600
So it's instead of just having people working for you now your money working is going to be much more of a thing.
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:36.929
So.
00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:57.465
There is some massive shifts happening and I think a lot of people are still stuck in the current thinking type thing and it's hard to get outta current thinking if you're a small business owner and you are facing problems like, well, the economy shifted and I've now gotta change this immediately type thing.
00:09:57.465 --> 00:10:03.825
And that's where a business on the back foot is gonna find it hard to take advantage of AI because they're on the back
00:10:03.825 --> 00:10:04.095
foot.
00:10:04.095 --> 00:10:04.424
Yeah.
00:10:04.424 --> 00:10:05.745
but I think there's a couple of questions in there.
00:10:05.745 --> 00:10:08.715
One is, first of all, about the legacy workforce.
00:10:08.715 --> 00:10:10.615
'cause Brad, you talk about that, if it's going down to 20
00:10:10.644 --> 00:10:12.384
hour those
00:10:12.565 --> 00:10:14.695
will probably be more productive than the 40 hour.
00:10:14.695 --> 00:10:15.894
'cause we are now getting Correct.
00:10:15.894 --> 00:10:17.029
it's it's a superpower.
00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:17.330
Right.
00:10:17.389 --> 00:10:20.804
a 20 hour work week's gonna e equal an 80 to a hundred hour work
00:10:20.835 --> 00:10:21.024
Yeah.
00:10:21.024 --> 00:10:21.230
Yeah.
00:10:21.230 --> 00:10:23.210
I think of it like the shado, the Egyptian
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:23.690
water.
00:10:23.690 --> 00:10:23.960
mm-hmm.
00:10:24.470 --> 00:10:24.875
Lifter.
00:10:24.875 --> 00:10:27.429
One person has now 10, 10 x the power.
00:10:27.429 --> 00:10:27.850
Correct.
00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:34.230
Using ai, What do you do in terms of helping the company to bring the team along?
00:10:34.230 --> 00:10:39.809
Because there are gonna be some winners and some losers in the workforce as Well, changes
00:10:39.914 --> 00:10:40.455
the workforce.
00:10:40.455 --> 00:10:44.565
I don't see that there's gonna be losers in it because the workforce just changes.
00:10:44.565 --> 00:10:51.855
When we invented dish washing machines, Jim, instead of having three people washing dishes in my restaurant, now we have one machine.
00:10:51.855 --> 00:10:53.820
change happens.
00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:53.909
Yes.
00:10:53.909 --> 00:10:56.639
And we can go back to dish washing machines.
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.980
We can go back to a, a a fishing net versus a fishing pole when the first net was introduced.
00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:10.379
So all of these introductions changed the So for example, 20 years ago, you wouldn't have paid someone to walk your dog for you.
00:11:10.379 --> 00:11:14.789
Now People pay people to come and pick up the dog poop, sake.
00:11:14.789 --> 00:11:17.529
I mean, these are the changes in the world of, of work.
00:11:17.529 --> 00:11:20.690
you wouldn't have 30 years ago paid someone to walk you.
00:11:20.690 --> 00:11:24.320
Nowadays people get a personal trainer and they go, oh, it's my trainer.
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:24.710
No, it's not.
00:11:24.710 --> 00:11:25.639
It's your paid friend.
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.179
We know that.
00:11:26.179 --> 00:11:28.159
you know, but the reality.
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.309
of What's going on is that the work will shift.
00:11:31.309 --> 00:11:35.330
When you are a boy, Jim, how often did you go out to a restaurant for dinner?
00:11:35.330 --> 00:11:36.350
Almost never.
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:36.514
I was
00:11:36.572 --> 00:11:36.634
week.
00:11:36.634 --> 00:11:39.294
now, People will eat out three to five nights a week.
00:11:39.294 --> 00:11:42.894
I know some people, they eat out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of their life.
00:11:42.894 --> 00:11:47.753
It's crazy the way that we think this changes destructive.
00:11:47.753 --> 00:11:56.245
we look back at, I'm pretty sure 54 now, I've seen, at least a dozen things in my life where they've said, oh, it's the end of the world.
00:11:56.245 --> 00:11:56.815
Oh, it's.
00:11:56.815 --> 00:12:03.144
you know, Y 2K, oh, 20 20, 20 12, the Mayan calendar, everything's ending ai.
00:12:03.144 --> 00:12:04.615
It's the end of the world.
00:12:04.615 --> 00:12:05.575
You know what it is?
00:12:05.575 --> 00:12:06.325
It's another
00:12:06.325 --> 00:12:06.684
change.
00:12:06.684 --> 00:12:07.825
You're absolutely right.
00:12:07.825 --> 00:12:13.195
I think the sea change here is though, that with the age agentic ai, where it's actually going off and doing the tasks mm-hmm.
00:12:13.195 --> 00:12:16.254
I just started using, some platforms for image and video,
00:12:16.585 --> 00:12:16.674
Mm-hmm.
00:12:16.674 --> 00:12:17.056
Content
00:12:17.154 --> 00:12:17.815
creation, right?
00:12:17.815 --> 00:12:22.450
So you type in a, a prompt or you upload an image and it makes a movie for you, right?
00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:28.330
So there's a whole class of people that either have to change the kind of work they do or the tools they use.
00:12:28.524 --> 00:12:34.639
the, the people that have been in that work have to start using AI and be better at it because, let me be blunt.
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:44.240
You using that tool will be nowhere near as good as a guy or a gal that's been in the movie industry for 20 years using that same tool.
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:48.049
Their eye, their knowledge, their skills using that tool be much better.
00:12:48.049 --> 00:12:54.659
But again, like even simple, my audio books, I used to have to go and sit in a studio for two days to create my audio books.
00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:57.659
Today I press a button and there's my audiobook done.
00:12:57.929 --> 00:12:58.169
and,
00:12:58.427 --> 00:13:00.039
it's, it's created sort of thing.
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.440
I've created five audio books in the last two
00:13:02.470 --> 00:13:02.769
weeks.
00:13:02.769 --> 00:13:02.955
Yeah.
00:13:02.955 --> 00:13:03.490
Yeah.
00:13:03.490 --> 00:13:13.539
And you were prolific before ai, So, but then the message has to be as well for any business owner is that AI is an opportunity, uh, as much as it is a threat, right?
00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:15.009
You talk about it within action.
00:13:15.009 --> 00:13:16.149
Coach, what about for your.
00:13:16.149 --> 00:13:23.610
Your coaching and how are you using it within the company for client service, for example, and helping your client base?
00:13:23.610 --> 00:13:25.080
so
00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:33.509
be blunt, if you have a bad system, AI will not make a bad If you have a bad product, AI won't make a bad product.
00:13:33.509 --> 00:13:33.720
Good.
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:36.450
If you have bad service, AI will not make bad service.
00:13:36.450 --> 00:13:36.750
Good.
00:13:36.750 --> 00:13:43.200
So let's be clear on that one First, you must have a good product, good system of delivery, good service.
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.450
You must have all of those things to start with.
00:13:45.450 --> 00:13:52.905
AI then multiplies that, you know how marketing is a Social media became a business.
00:13:52.905 --> 00:13:55.905
Well, AI is a multiplier of what already exists.
00:13:55.905 --> 00:14:03.166
So my coaches will be able to using AI be far more effective with their clients.
00:14:03.166 --> 00:14:10.605
So they'll get clients' results faster, but they'll be able to handle more clients because the AI will do a lot of the thinking work for them.
00:14:10.605 --> 00:14:14.086
But even the simple, one of the day-to-day ai.
00:14:14.086 --> 00:14:14.956
Coach.
00:14:14.956 --> 00:14:22.586
So imagine Jim, if in your company, coach Brad called your team every day at the end of the day and asked them, what did you get done today?
00:14:22.586 --> 00:14:23.485
How did you go?
00:14:23.485 --> 00:14:24.926
What were your scores for today?
00:14:24.926 --> 00:14:25.975
What are you doing tomorrow?
00:14:25.975 --> 00:14:27.086
What's gonna happen tomorrow?
00:14:27.086 --> 00:14:34.586
So, AI Coach Brad, interviews every one of your team for 10 minutes at the end of the day, every day, and then creates a.
00:14:34.586 --> 00:14:35.785
A log.
00:14:35.785 --> 00:14:39.566
Or a report back to you saying, here's how your company did today.
00:14:39.566 --> 00:14:45.505
Now you think of how much more effective that makes coaching and how much more effective that makes your managers, Your
00:14:45.551 --> 00:14:45.716
Your leaders.
00:14:45.716 --> 00:14:54.441
And even now you can use, for example, with Claude Cowork, I've created a schedule that reviews all my emails each morning and tells you what I need to do and it can review
00:14:54.515 --> 00:14:54.905
'em at the end of
00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:55.461
day.
00:14:55.461 --> 00:15:05.971
And see whether I've done them or not, So it really becomes, to your point about the billion dollar company, you are liberating your coaches then to focus on the people time presumably as well
00:15:05.985 --> 00:15:14.265
with Correct, You know, the, because there are certain aspects of coaching that will never be replaced by ai.
00:15:14.576 --> 00:15:14.640
Okay.
00:15:14.640 --> 00:15:15.451
Like which ones, Brad?
00:15:15.451 --> 00:15:17.385
So tell me, tell see the work being for
00:15:17.446 --> 00:15:17.640
people.
00:15:17.640 --> 00:15:25.951
when I'm sitting here with you, Jim, coaching you and your and I notice the way you say something and I start to talk to you about, well, hang on.
00:15:25.951 --> 00:15:27.120
You said that this way.
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:27.850
Why is that?
00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:33.673
Let's get into the detail having that human to human conversation.
00:15:33.673 --> 00:15:38.504
it's like going to a concert versus listening to the music on your iPod.
00:15:38.504 --> 00:15:48.605
an experiential and this is why, say for example, Louis Vuitton stores are full right now, but stores selling basic products are empty.
00:15:48.605 --> 00:15:54.230
not empty, but less full than they used to be because I would rather click a button to get a regular product.
00:15:54.230 --> 00:16:02.480
But the experience of going to a Louis Vuitton store, the experience of going to a concert, so.
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.441
We will always crave the experience as
00:16:07.119 --> 00:16:07.265
Yeah.
00:16:07.265 --> 00:16:09.936
And that's what Thomas Pine talks about in the experience economy, right?
00:16:09.936 --> 00:16:19.505
They talk about as we start to have more and more time, disposable time and more disposable income, move towards experienced economy businesses as well.
00:16:19.541 --> 00:16:32.600
Well, I just invested in longevity businesses back in Las Vegas for one simple reason, health will become a far greater priority for the human next five to 10 years than it's ever been.
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.341
Because we will have more time.
00:16:34.341 --> 00:16:39.620
So people will want to work out, they'll want to get in, they'll want to take care more.
00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:53.240
All of these things when you're working less hours, like I know my, my, second eldest daughter has just gone to a full-time job from college, gonna full-time job, and her biggest complaint is that she can't go to the gym at the her 11 o'clock class.
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.140
time sort of thing.
00:16:54.140 --> 00:16:54.860
And I say, well.
00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:58.591
this is, this is the challenge of the 40 hour work week.
00:16:58.591 --> 00:17:00.750
Well, once we moved to a different work
00:17:00.765 --> 00:17:01.066
week.
00:17:01.650 --> 00:17:07.861
you know, This is also part of, if you go back, COVID virtualized us by about seven years.
00:17:07.861 --> 00:17:16.740
So we moved seven years ahead and I used the number seven because Amazon said that their package numbers they did were seven years in advance on their predictions.
00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:19.911
So that sort of said that we moved seven years in one year.
00:17:19.911 --> 00:17:36.290
Well, if we look at what AI is doing and the speed with which it's moving you just look at the human health aspect Once, once AI actually has access to all of the world's data on cancer, it's gonna solve it.
00:17:36.290 --> 00:17:41.270
But you've got all of these universities and pharmacy companies that all have that data hidden away.
00:17:41.270 --> 00:17:43.641
Imagine if all of that data is in one place.
00:17:43.641 --> 00:17:45.080
Look, Jim, what.
00:17:45.080 --> 00:17:54.351
What we look at today is people that have massive goals are changing the world at a, at a rapid rate of knots.
00:17:54.351 --> 00:18:02.361
JFK did it by saying, we choose to go to the moon, not because it's the easiest of things, because at the hardest of things, and that led to GPS systems.
00:18:02.361 --> 00:18:03.770
It led to micro computers.
00:18:03.770 --> 00:18:06.800
There's so many things that came because he set the goal of gonna the moon.
00:18:06.800 --> 00:18:15.921
We sit here today with Elon being the the crazy man of the day saying, I want to colonise Mars, and everyone says, well, Elon, you can't do that.
00:18:15.921 --> 00:18:16.730
He says, why not?
00:18:16.730 --> 00:18:19.131
They said, well, you'll need better spaceships.
00:18:19.131 --> 00:18:21.171
You'll need better communication systems.
00:18:21.171 --> 00:18:22.520
You'll need better batteries.
00:18:22.520 --> 00:18:23.750
You'll need better tunnelling.
00:18:23.750 --> 00:18:25.221
You'll need robots.
00:18:25.221 --> 00:18:26.090
You'll need all these things.
00:18:26.090 --> 00:18:32.750
So all these things are being invented because of the the crazy goals of one man.
00:18:32.750 --> 00:18:34.671
But this is where I think that.
00:18:34.671 --> 00:18:44.010
Anyone who sits there in their life today and says, well, it's too late, or, I'm too early, or I'm too young, or too old, or too this.
00:18:44.010 --> 00:18:46.296
This is a reset for you.
00:18:46.296 --> 00:18:50.465
This is a reset saying, I don't care where you're at right now.
00:18:50.465 --> 00:18:55.596
If you put yourself in the next 30, 60, 90 days, learn ai.
00:18:55.596 --> 00:18:58.806
Just go and play with programmes.
00:18:58.806 --> 00:18:59.855
Go and play on it.
00:18:59.855 --> 00:19:02.105
Learn it over the next 90 days.
00:19:02.105 --> 00:19:10.506
You will come up with ideas for businesses and things that can be solved using ai that'll just blow you away.
00:19:10.506 --> 00:19:16.865
Everyone has the ability right now with ai, a laptop, not even a laptop, a phone, for goodness sake.
00:19:16.865 --> 00:19:21.756
It's better on a laptop, obviously, but you can create whatever you want.
00:19:21.756 --> 00:19:27.096
Today, the game has been reset, and even if you're behind, you can catch up based on AI and helping
00:19:27.125 --> 00:19:27.486
you out.
00:19:27.486 --> 00:19:27.736
it's
00:19:27.736 --> 00:19:28.276
a fundamentally
00:19:28.306 --> 00:19:33.016
optimistic picture from you, really, The AI is gonna be creating new opportunities, creating more.
00:19:33.016 --> 00:19:37.336
Time for people to do things that will be, more rewarding for Mm-hmm.
00:19:37.336 --> 00:19:38.320
It'll create new categories of business.
00:19:38.320 --> 00:19:46.256
Where do you see the dangers, if you like, just as a cursory note, where do you see the dangers maybe for businesses and entrepreneurs?
00:19:46.256 --> 00:19:46.405
Yeah.
00:19:46.405 --> 00:19:46.951
it's interesting, Jim.
00:19:46.951 --> 00:19:48.736
'cause I'm not hardwired
00:19:48.766 --> 00:19:49.605
No, I know you're not.
00:19:49.605 --> 00:19:49.766
That's,
00:19:49.846 --> 00:19:51.435
that's I'm hardwired to look for
00:19:51.526 --> 00:19:55.546
opportunity and I love that, but I'm also mindful that for all these people who are going, yeah, but
00:19:55.645 --> 00:19:58.486
danger number one is that you don't even bother.
00:19:58.486 --> 00:19:59.026
Right.
00:19:59.026 --> 00:20:02.111
I know people that said, well, I'm not gonna bother to learn social media.
00:20:02.111 --> 00:20:03.221
Well, that's just dumb.
00:20:03.221 --> 00:20:05.290
I'm not gonna bother learning ai.
00:20:05.290 --> 00:20:06.851
Well, that's just dumb.
00:20:06.851 --> 00:20:11.891
We're gonna live a lot longer now because again, AI is helping all the solutions for health.
00:20:11.891 --> 00:20:13.961
You've got to do it.
00:20:13.961 --> 00:20:15.371
So danger number one is that you
00:20:15.401 --> 00:20:16.391
don't it.
00:20:16.421 --> 00:20:20.921
Now, danger number two, the Terminator, the whole world's gonna be robots.
00:20:20.921 --> 00:20:21.820
They're gonna take over.
00:20:21.820 --> 00:20:24.746
Listen, I've already ordered my first robot to be in the house.
00:20:24.746 --> 00:20:25.901
I think they'll be phenomenal.
00:20:25.901 --> 00:20:26.230
I get it.
00:20:26.230 --> 00:20:29.830
Cleaning or gardening or doing something for me, that sort of stuff.
00:20:29.830 --> 00:20:30.820
That'll be phenomenal.
00:20:30.820 --> 00:20:32.006
But.
00:20:32.006 --> 00:20:38.016
If you look at where guys like Sam Altman, now, they're much better at this than I am, right?
00:20:38.016 --> 00:20:49.415
There's the open AI guy and they look at what they're programming into the and that it's already proven by different examples that Claude will overwrite stuff.
00:20:49.415 --> 00:20:51.935
So Anthropics sit, there, go, what is that, how did that work?
00:20:51.935 --> 00:20:52.740
How did that happen?
00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:58.260
They also told me that Y 2K planes were gonna fall outta the sky.
00:20:58.260 --> 00:21:00.601
And they also told me, and they also told me.
00:21:00.601 --> 00:21:04.411
So no, I'm not, I'm, not hardwired to look for the road crash.
00:21:04.411 --> 00:21:05.131
I'm hardwired
00:21:05.250 --> 00:21:06.240
look for the sunset.
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:06.480
Yeah.
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:07.111
Which is great.
00:21:07.111 --> 00:21:08.641
And that, that's a great message.
00:21:08.641 --> 00:21:13.431
'cause there are a lot of people who are saying, maybe taking the ostrich approach, which is, I think
00:21:13.503 --> 00:21:15.050
when you take the ostrich approach, You know
00:21:15.080 --> 00:21:15.155
where
00:21:15.201 --> 00:21:16.431
your but is, that's for sure.
00:21:16.760 --> 00:21:18.931
will be in the air the sand will definitely
00:21:18.931 --> 00:21:19.500
come right over you.
00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:20.445
But here's, the thing.
00:21:20.445 --> 00:21:27.320
We as humans, naturally find a way to go through and overcome all challenges.
00:21:27.320 --> 00:21:29.101
we naturally do.
00:21:29.101 --> 00:21:35.401
Like when I, I was born in 1971, that was when the Club of Rome predicted that we would run out of oil in 90 years.
00:21:35.401 --> 00:21:43.471
and you sit back and you look at how much oil we have today, and we've still got 500 odd years worth because usage is down and those sorts of things, Jim.
00:21:43.471 --> 00:21:47.221
So I believe that if you allow the.
00:21:47.221 --> 00:21:54.151
if you are one of those people that allows the one reason not to do something to be stronger than the nine or 10 reasons to do
00:21:54.290 --> 00:21:56.385
yep, fantastic.
00:21:56.385 --> 00:21:56.506
But
00:21:56.520 --> 00:22:00.661
you are fall by the wayside, The way the world works is the same as a tree.
00:22:00.661 --> 00:22:05.010
You're either growing or you're dying, and people go, no, I'm gonna be in status quo.
00:22:05.010 --> 00:22:08.070
If you're in status quo, the weeds are growing around you.
00:22:08.070 --> 00:22:09.721
know the market is gonna beat you.
00:22:09.721 --> 00:22:14.911
So you are either Taking advantage of this opportunity or you're gonna get beat by it.
00:22:14.911 --> 00:22:16.861
and it's not by ai.
00:22:16.861 --> 00:22:19.141
you're gonna get beat by your competitor who's using
00:22:19.155 --> 00:22:19.365
ai.
00:22:19.365 --> 00:22:19.665
Yeah.
00:22:19.665 --> 00:22:20.806
And that's the key thing, isn't it?
00:22:20.806 --> 00:22:30.655
You're gonna be beaten by the people who are picking up and, and carrying it with what you are doing with, action coach and you've got the coaches being augmented with I but not replaced with ai.
00:22:30.655 --> 00:22:34.711
Are you seeing a new category of client, of company that's coming to.
00:22:34.711 --> 00:22:39.276
Action coach, that's AI centred, that's facing different kind of problems.
00:22:40.280 --> 00:22:41.326
I, I think when we look
00:22:41.340 --> 00:22:41.580
at
00:22:42.375 --> 00:22:52.701
the customers that are coming to us as action coach, there's three groups There's the baby boomers who wanna sell, so they need to fix their business to be exiting.
00:22:52.701 --> 00:22:53.016
Right.
00:22:53.016 --> 00:22:53.556
And that's.
00:22:53.556 --> 00:22:58.296
30 to 40% of business owners are in that category of wanting to exit.
00:22:58.296 --> 00:23:07.566
You're going to have an exit from your business Either negative, you kill it, it kills you, or positive, a passive exit or a financial exit type thing.
00:23:07.566 --> 00:23:10.476
So of course we set them up for the passive and financial exit.
00:23:10.476 --> 00:23:17.721
So that's the first category of person second category of person that's coming to us is the one that wants to take advantage of opportunities that are out there.
00:23:17.721 --> 00:23:24.861
They see the opportunities and they say, I need a team to help me I don't, I don't think I can do it on my own.
00:23:24.861 --> 00:23:34.846
I need outside coaching or outside advice or outside help And then your third group is really the group that is saying, I'm panicking.
00:23:34.846 --> 00:23:39.996
You they leave it till it's too late in some cases, and they're in panic mode.
00:23:39.996 --> 00:23:48.853
And, fortunately or unfortunately, AI is waking people up to say, I need to take action.
00:23:48.853 --> 00:23:50.803
COVID did it with so many
00:23:50.817 --> 00:23:51.778
businesses.
00:23:52.002 --> 00:23:56.512
You we look at the economic situation right now with oil prices and all of those sorts of things.
00:23:56.512 --> 00:24:00.202
It wakes a lot of businesses up to say, dang.
00:24:00.202 --> 00:24:07.883
And if you wait till there's a negative in the economy or a negative in the marketplace, then dang, don't wait till you get disrupted.
00:24:07.883 --> 00:24:09.863
Be the disruptor, and that's what AI
00:24:10.087 --> 00:24:10.313
will help
00:24:10.313 --> 00:24:11.978
you One final question
00:24:11.978 --> 00:24:12.428
for you, Brad.
00:24:12.428 --> 00:24:21.488
Imagine that you didn't have action, coached, didn't have this amazing business, and you were starting out and you had $500 and AI was here.
00:24:21.488 --> 00:24:24.397
What business would you be setting up and building
00:24:24.397 --> 00:24:24.542
do you
00:24:25.488 --> 00:24:25.667
I
00:24:25.667 --> 00:24:36.347
would, given my co given my knowledge, I would probably set up an AI CFO, so an AI business that would help you analyse your numbers in your business.
00:24:36.347 --> 00:24:49.458
Probably an AI CMO, and I could probably do that in about 10 minutes flat and um, because I'd have AI build it all for me, And I could do it as an app and I could do it as a consulting service.
00:24:49.458 --> 00:24:49.877
So I
00:24:49.893 --> 00:24:50.163
would.
00:24:50.883 --> 00:24:57.738
then have AI call companies and email companies, offer my services to them and have them book in a phone call.
00:24:57.738 --> 00:25:04.167
I'd have AI build the videos and the website for me, that would allow me to promote those services to people.
00:25:04.167 --> 00:25:12.282
build an ai, I'd have AI build me an app that allowed them to score themselves currently and give them some basic knowledge.
00:25:12.282 --> 00:25:16.992
And then when they're ready, they would sign up for the subscription based service because.
00:25:16.992 --> 00:25:24.738
The best businesses are always repeat businesses, so subscription, membership, retainer based businesses, that's what I'd do.
00:25:24.738 --> 00:25:27.913
So yeah, I would have AI do majority of the work.
00:25:27.913 --> 00:25:32.173
And the last thing I would say is I would make it so that my business could be global.
00:25:32.173 --> 00:25:41.982
I'd have AI put it into the top 15 languages for me, so I'd have it running in China, India, I'd have it running in all of the biggest economies in the world very fast.
00:25:41.982 --> 00:25:44.083
So yeah, it'd probably take a week, maybe
00:25:44.097 --> 00:25:47.577
two, to get So Brad, it sounds like AI is not gonna slow you down.
00:25:47.577 --> 00:25:48.657

00:25:48.673 --> 00:25:49.688
