The Queen Of AI: The Fastest Way To Use AI To Make Your First Million (For Beginners!)

0:00the people that are watching are going to get some ideas on how they can make money with AI. And as somebody who started from zero, starting from a wrecked marriage, I was sleeping on my sister's couch. Everybody has something people will be willing to pay them for. And AI will say, "Well, based on this, this, and this that I know about you, here's your three biggest income

0:17opportunities." You have trained over a 100,000 entrepreneurs on marketing and how to make more money with AI. Yes. What are the common objections? The most common objection I hear is I'm not technical. Can you have a conversation either by typing or talking? Cuz if you can do that, that's like as technical as you need to be.

0:36I want to go through [music] the steps. So this prompt right here, which is the first step. I've also crafted it for this show. [music] It's going to give you some probabilities of what you could earn in the next 90 days. Okay, so quick one before we get into it. For 57 weeks straight, I posted episodes of this show that got about a hundred views each. Almost nobody was watching at that time. Today, over 315,000 of you are subscribed to the show, and I'm so grateful for it. And every subscribe helps us scale the guests and make a better show for you. And so, can you do me a quick favor and check that

1:12you're subscribed to the show? And if you're not, please hit that subscribe button. It's going to help us make this an even better experience for you. Thank you. Let's get into the show. I was reading this morning that you have trained over a 100,000 entrepreneurs on marketing and how to make more money with AI.

1:28Yeah. And so, Alicia, if someone has clicked on this episode with this desire and this belief that this could be their moment, like they hear all of this stuff online about AI and what's happening and it's like this could be my moment, but they're unsure of how to get there. What will be the value to that human being of listening to this conversation until the

1:50end? First, I will tell them this is your moment. This is your moment. And here's why. Because in this episode, I will be sharing with people prompts that they'll get in your description later. Like prompts that they can do as we're doing the show. So, this show for them might be an interactive workshop moment. They might say, "All right, I'm going to put that in and see what results I'm getting right now." So, I love teaching workshop style because I believe that when we show people how to do something, they're like, "Oh, that's so cool. Look what she just did or look what he just did." But

2:22when it's like, "Okay, now it's your turn to do it." They stop for a minute and they do it and they're like, "Look what I just did. I'm amazing." So, I think what they'll get out of this show is a little bit more confidence to use AI tools and specifically Claude that we're talking about today and then prompts and instructions to give those AI tools to get great results which will then spur like once somebody gets started, they're like, "Let me keep going. Let me keep going." So, that's

2:46why I'm excited about this session. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's funny cuz uh you and I we spoke a week ago and uh there was someone that you just like you kept mentioning her again and again during the conversation and that was Donna, right? And you know what cuz you you spoke to you even said it just now like great

3:03results. Can you just describe to people cuz I think about your mission and who you serve. Can you describe who Donner is? Sure. And then when you talk about great results, what are you referring to specifically? Sure. Let's start with the great results first and then we'll go back to the person. So great results for someone means that they're getting something that they did not get before. Either they're seeing something in themselves that they didn't see before or they're getting results that they didn't get before and those results could be a new business, a new client, new motivation, new insights. A lot of times people don't even know how great they are

3:39themselves. Like we have to help them get to that point. And you do this on all of your episodes where you help people get to that next level to see more in themselves sometimes than they actually see before they watch the episode. So I like to make sure that I can instill in people like you really can do this. Live your dream, achieve, stay delusional, right? You really can do that. Sometimes you just need to know the proper frameworks or the tools or the strategies to use to get there. And then when we talk about Donna, so Donna was someone that I had talked to that

4:10morning that I spoke to you after um I spoke to Donna and she was just excited and motivated be because before she got into AI, she was not feeling great about herself. Her options were limited. Her work was limited because I think she had just gotten laid off from a government job, right? She just gotten laid off. So

4:30now what is going to be her next thing? And that can be a scary place to be in not knowing what your next thing is or what your next move would be. But then as she started to learn AI skills, you see AI skills are the number one most in demand right now. So if you're someone who can teach and train or do just something with AI, you have so much more possibilities. So Donna learned some AI skills and then she offered those skills to the larger public. And so she got booked by a library to teach in the library and then she got customers from

5:00that library. And then she went and spoke at her chamber and got customers from speaking at the chamber and anytime she mentioned that she does something in AI, the interest started pouring in. But we just had to get Donna to open her mouth and talk about it. So somebody watching this right now might feel like, "Oh, I don't know what my next move is or I'm not sure what I can do in AI or I'm not techy enough to do something in AI." And that was Donna. But now Donna's like, "Anybody want any help with AI? I can help you." And that doesn't mean that she knows everything, but she knows

5:31something that can help someone else. And that's all you need. It's like something that can help someone else and you're off to the races. Yeah. You know, it's it's it's so good. And you and I even spoke about this before of like the the steps cuz we're going to go through uh the step by step for people. And one of the things is uh in the steps is we're going to help people come up with and generate like specific income producing ideas and opportunities for them based on them and what they know and who they are which is what people need to

6:00know. It's like how can AI benefit me? Like specifically they're asking themselves that question. Can this thing really help me? Can AI really help me? And then when the answer to that is yes, they're like well how can it help me? Show me. Let's do some things. Yeah. And and you know, one of the things I loved is um and and it's so it's so good that we're here right now is you spoke about one of the results being like to start a business,

6:23right? And so we're going to get into it, but first I wanted you to give people context because one of the things that was it was like shocking to me, right, is you've been an entrepreneur for 26 years. I'm only 28 years old. [laughter] So you've been an entrepreneur for a long time and you're very successful at

6:42it. But hearing that beginning, that story of like cleaning homes with your mom and that's the initial inspiration. Can you take people to that moment and share that context of like how does it start there? Sure. And kind of give us the high level of how you got to where you are now. Sure. Sure. I was in fifth grade um at this moment. I was in fifth grade and my mom cleaned houses for a living. So she cleaned houses and she used to take me with her and when she took myself or my sister with her, she could clean three houses in a day instead of two. So this

7:18day we're cleaning three houses. And so I went to house number one, it was beautiful. It was white. They had a pool outside. I was like, "This is amazing." And then the next house was even bigger, right? House number two is even bigger. And by the time I got to house number three, the question in my mind then became like, what job do these people have to have these big houses? Like, what job do they have? Cuz the jobs of the people in my neighborhood aren't the same as these houses that my mom is cleaning. And so I'm like vacuuming, thinking of, you know, and my mom used

7:51to make me vacuum in these really straight lines. So, I'm making sure that I'm doing the straight lines, but asking my self this question to finally where I was like, I'm going to ask my mom. So, I stopped and I went and I asked my mom. And I was like, "Mom, what job do these people have in this huge mansion?" It was like eight bedrooms. And my mom said, "They don't have a job. They create jobs for other people, but they

8:14are entrepreneurs and business owners." And she was explaining it to me. They have businesses. So, where the people work, this is the boss. And I was like, "This is the boss." I was like, "Well, what job did the people have in the house before?" Like house number two, what job did they have? And she said, "Same thing. They're business owners as well. They own their own business." I was like, "What about house number one, the big white house with the pool?" And she said, "Same thing. They're business owners." So, and then she's like, "Go back and finish vacuuming." So, as I'm finishing vacuuming, I'm thinking to

8:40myself, "So, I have to be a business owner to have an eightbedroom mansion. That's all I have to be." So it started me down this path of really learning about what it meant to be a business owner. And the interesting thing about that conversation that I didn't see at that time was my mom was also a business owner. Right? So she had started her business by one lady asking her, "Do you

9:02know anyone that can clean my house?" And my mom was like, "Yes." And she packed our vacuum and all the stuff, you know, at our house and went to clean this lady's house. And this lady recommended her to some someone else. and she never advertised but she was triple booked all the time just by word of mouth. So at that time she was a business owner as well. Now her house wasn't as grand as the other business owners but I started to understand

9:23entrepreneurship at that age. Yeah. You know, I I think about that visual of you in this huge home as a little kid and you're like vacuuming their carpet in these straight lines and it's like in that moment your your mind is open like for the first time being open to the possibility of like what you can achieve and you mentioned predating that like before that you hadn't really seen that and I think about the the fire and like the the determination it takes to do to be an entrepreneur for 26 six years cuz I I think about where you are now where you've spoken on like the the

10:01TEDex stage or even uh being like a JP Morgan 100 women to know uh some of the stages that you've spoken at conferences like around the world the businesses that you've built. Can you give us just the high level? How do you go from where you were at 11 years old with that first like inspiration point to doing some of

10:24the things that you've done now? Sure. You know the thing about entrepreneurship is it's never in my case especially and a lot of the entrepreneurs I know it's never like this path where it's always on the upward trajectory. My entrepreneurship journey up down crash below level like going below sea level back up plateauing. It's been such a journey. But I started entrepreneurship um back in the year 2000. And the man I was dating at the time, he said that he wanted to be an entrepreneur. So I was working a job and I met him while I was working a job, but he said he wanted to

10:58be an entrepreneur. So he said, "Will you help me and can we figure out together how to take the things that are in my head, maybe turn them into a software or a CD and create a website and sell it to people online?" And back then I was like, "Wow, we could do that." So I started to figure out this internet thing. And there was there wasn't back then many seminars or people talking about it way back then. So you know, we we were trying to figure it out. Our first website was green and ugly, but as we were going along and figuring it out, I got more and more

11:32attracted to entrepreneurism. Like how can I sell these things online and service people and take what we know and turn it into a product? So we started working together and then I went off to um work on my PhD. So he came with me and I was working on my PhD and so I was going to class during the day and duplicating CDs and printing books in the basement at night. I had like renovated the basement we were renting and you know I was doing all of this work. So I was living kind of this double life. But in the business back then I was the person doing the

12:03marketing, customer service, sales, printing, fulfillment and shipping. I was everything. So, but I had to learn a lot really quickly. And then we built a big business. Um, and then on year 10, I left him. So, I filed for divorce. And when I did that, it was a very bad divorce. Let's just leave it at that. It a very bad divorce. But basically, I I left with nothing. So, now I had to start over. And that year, we'd made $6 million online. So, $6 million. I walked out, I left him, and he locked me out of everything. the house that we had, which was a mansion, but the house that we

12:38had, everything that we had built, I was locked out of. I had my car, my laptop, my cell phone, what I could fit in my car, and I went to live with my sister. And this was in 2010, and I was sleeping on my sister's couch, which was very uncomfortable. Lorett has uncomfortable couches, and I slept on her couch. And you know, it was at that moment my dad called me and my dad was like, "You could have a good government job. Like, go work in the government. you have your background. And I was like, "Dad, I'm still a millionaire. I might have zero dollars in my bank account right now,

13:09but I'm going to figure this out." And then I got a call from Les Brown, who's a great friend of mine. And so he said his famous thing to me. He's like, "Where are you right now?" I said, "I'm on Lorett's sofa trying to figure things out." And he he loved this moment because he could say his famous quote. And he was like, "Can you see up?" And I said, "Yes, I'm staring at the ceiling right now." He's like, "Well, then you can get up. If you can look [laughter] up, you can get up." And I could tell the excitement for him saying his famous quote. And then he told me three times,

13:38he said, "Alysia, get up. Get up." And then in that deep like less brown voice, he said, "Get up." And then I got up and I went to my sister and I was like, "We must have something people would be willing to pay us for. Everybody has something people would be willing to pay

13:54them for." So I started off on this site like starting over from below zero. my account had gone now negative, right? My personal account. And so I started off on this site called fiverr.com. That's the year that they started. And I just went on to be a website usability tester. So I was like, I know what a good website looks like. So I was a website usability tester. And I used that to start to restart and build businesses. And then I started finding other businesses that needed help. And I found this business in Jamaica named Zimbali Retreats. And I went to it was like my post divorce. I went to this

14:28business and I was the only guest at the whole resort. And so I sat down at breakfast with the owner and I'm like, "What's up? This is beautiful. Where are the people?" And what they had was not a resort problem. It was a marketing problem. So I said, "Well, if I could bring you people to this resort, would you pay me a percentage of what I bring?" He was like, "Absolutely. That's the best deal I ever heard." So I put

14:51his resort on Groupon and Living Social. And back then they were just so hot and popular. and he had like 200 bookings overnight. I made a lot of money real quickly and started rebuilding my business. So, I always ask people the question, I was like, "What do you have that somebody else would be willing to pay you for? You can help another person, another business. We all have that thing." It was just at that time I had to define it. And then my sister and I went on and started our business together. So, me and Lorett started a business together. And, you know, that was now 2010, the end of 2010. And

15:23that's my trajectory as an entrepreneur now is we did a digital marketing business. And then we pivoted in 2022 to be an AI training um and certification business because I fell in love with AI. So yeah, you know, it's it's impressive. And so where my mind went because I think to like there's someone that's in that moment where they're having to start again from zero and I feel like it's a very personal journey for you and at those low moments the lowest moments how did you start again like what gave you that impetus that you kept going just one more time okay so quick break the other day I tried to

16:06connect our newsletter platform Beehive to Claude But when I opened the connectors tab and searched for it, I couldn't find the connector. And honestly, it was this really frustrating experience because I thought it was meant to be there, but it wasn't. And so, usually what this would mean is that I'd have to copy and paste screenshots from the platform over into Claude, which is so manual and timeconuming, and I'd have to do this every single time that I wanted to ask a question related to our newsletter. But then I found out about the Zapia MCP and basically what it allows you to do is that you can

16:37connect apps to Claude that aren't currently available as connectors. And I'm going to tell you this is a game changer. And so all you have to do is go to the Zapia MCP which is linked in the description. Search up Claude here, click on it, click add apps here, and then just search up the tool that you want to connect to Claude. And so in this case, I just put Beehive. I click on it and then click select all tools. I hit connect, then connect again, and then I put in my API key, which I'll blur. And then once Beehive is connected, I click on connect right here

17:11and follow this simple two-step process to connect Zappia to Claude. And the cool part is that after this process is complete, I can then come back in here and I can ask Claude something like, based on our newsletter analytics, which topic should we lean into moving forward? and it'll be able to give me a super relevant and good output which is based on the actual data of our

17:33newsletter. And that's just one example. And so if you want to get relevant outputs like this from your favorite tools that aren't available right now as connectors include just hit that link in the description to try the Zapia MCP today. Okay, so I've interviewed some of the smartest minds in marketing, including people like Seth Goden. And one thing that I've learned is that trust is what closes deals. It doesn't even matter if you have the best product necessarily. And so in this new era of AI, no buyers will sign without proof that your product is compliant. And it's something that I've seen happen with friends of mine who are trying to grow

18:08their business. They'll be so close to closing a big deal, but then the prospect asks for proof of compliance and the deal stalls because you don't have it. And so that's where Vanta comes in. Vanter is the leading agentic trust platform that not only gets you compliant fast with frameworks like SOCK 2, ISO27001, HIPPA and GDPR, but keeps you compliant by continuously monitoring your controls. And the great thing is that by getting compliant early, you can then prove to bigger prospects that you're trustworthy. So take Hyperbound, a Y

18:40Combinatorbacked startup as an example. They started using Vanter to get compliant proactively and prove to enterprise buyers that they took security seriously and that helped them unlock the Fortune 100 and generate $1.5 million in under 3 months. Another example is Snowfire. They're a leader in the AI space by using Vant. They got audit ready in under one month and closed a multi-million dollar deal that

19:04that had been blocked because of Sock 2. You can even access the Vant agent everywhere you work, even if your team lives in Claude or Curser. And so given that trust is becoming more and more valuable in the era of AI, Vanta can help you show that you're trustworthy. And so if you want to give it a try and get $1,000 off Vanta, just go to

19:22vant.com/calum. That's vanta.com/calum to get started with Vanta. Thank you to them for sponsoring this episode. Let's get back to it. And that's a good question cuz when I was in that moment, a lot of people gave me excuses that I didn't even give myself. They're like, "Oh, what you're going through, just take some time right now. maybe just get a job and not try to be an entrepreneur because my ex-husband and I had built a very successful big business. I worked my butt off to get to that point over those 10 years. But he had told me that he was going on and this is the personal part. He had told

19:56me that he was going on vacation with other speakers. He was a speaker at that time, right? Other speakers. So the guys, he was going on vacation with the guys. but his assistant at that time called me and she said he left his phone on the table and I saw the messages and he's going on vacation with another woman. And so it was at that moment she she was like I'm going to come help you and her and her daughter actually came to my house and helped me pack and get

20:21out of there while he was on vacation. So she was tracking his movements on vacation so that I could leave because he wasn't the type of person that it was easy to leave. I had tried it before and it wasn't happening. So while he was gone, I left. And so now fast forward as an entrepreneur and as somebody who started from zero, but it was also starting from zero, starting from a, you know, wrecked marriage, starting from leaving my dream house to start over that yes, I can connect, you know, that was also my blessing in my business because I was able to now connect with

20:54people who were who had gone through similar things. Had that never happened to me, I might not have had the ability that I feel that I have now to be able to connect with someone when they tell me their story of the divorce that they're going through or the the you know the thing that is impacting them right now that it makes it difficult for them to move forward. So, the thing was is that I told myself, you know, my ex-husband, he took back the business

21:21bank accounts. He stayed in the mansion. He kept the fancy cars. And, you know, he he locked me out of my email accounts. He locked me out of the business. He said if I didn't come back, I couldn't have any of the things back. And so, I made the decision to start over from scratch as well. I was like,

21:38I'm not going back. So, that's fine. I'll start over from scratch. But the one thing he couldn't take away from me was my knowledge. So yeah, you can take away all of those material things, but you can never take away knowledge. And so as I honed in on that, I was like, I know how to build a business. I know how to do customer service. Cuz remember, I was the person doing everything. And I think when we look back at our life experiences, all of us, we have so much that we've done in our past life. Isn't that true? Like we have so much that we've done and we

22:09build this big knowledge bank. Now we just need to say how can I turn that knowledge into money? How what do I have in my knowledge and things that I've done in my past experiences that I can now monetize? So I would say I was like but he can't he couldn't take away my

22:23knowledge. Take away everything else. You can't take away my knowledge. And so I leverage that past experience and that knowledge to build something new. M you know I was just thinking I I um for him to like see you now like with all the things that you've done now um you [snorts] mentioned in your journey in 2022 the first time that you really come across AI and specifically I believe it

22:45was Chachi PT. Yes. Yes. Can you because I think a lot of people are having this moment right now. This moment where they use AI for the first time and they get some sort of output and it's almost like this window into the future of like, oh, this is a bit different. Yeah. And I feel like collectively as a society, we're having that moment in

23:05good ways and in bad ways. Yes. And I'm so curious for you to just take us back. Sure. because it felt like you made a real shift and you've really like uh you've owned it. I think even like the queen of AI like you've really owned it. What is it that you see in 2022 right in the beginning that you're like okay this is this is

23:29something different like take us there. Definitely. So, I was using some AI tools before ChatGpt or tools that had AI in it, Jasper and Writer. But, and I was teaching people how to do that, but I had two friends that called me the day ChatGpt came out, like that day it hit the news. Um, Deb and Angie, and both of them said, "Hey, you taught us how to use these tools, but I think this one is better and it's getting media attention." I was like, and I put it off. And then Angie called me back on day two. She's like, "Alyssia, stop what

23:55you're doing and look at it." So, I did. And the difference I saw the difference you know for my business and my client's business cuz I was doing digital marketing at that time. So I was working with banks and insurance companies and doing social media marketing. So as I looked at chat GPT and I could see this one context window where we could ask it

24:15to do multiple things at the same time. That's how it differed from those some other tools where we had to say we had to click on okay create a headline and you create a headline and then you be like okay now create the PS and it created the PS but I couldn't do everything in one context. So after I started looking at it I called my sister Lorett. I'm like cancel everything for

24:35two weeks. I'm going in the basement. Literally it was my basement. I'm like I'm going in the basement. I'm going to lock myself up. I'm going to order food for two weeks and dive into this. And the first two days I was disappointed because when I had asked it to do something for me, I got back generic robotic answers that I hope this email finds you well. I'm like write an email for me in conclusion. You know the early days of chatb it was so robotic. Um and then I just asked myself questions as a

25:01marketer. I asked myself questions. Huh? If I give it my voice, can I make it sound like me? So it's like boom boom boom. Here's samples of my writing now. Write like me. And it did it. And it was beautiful and brilliant. I was like, "Ah, what else can I do?" So I became a

25:16big proponent of training your AI model. Like before you start working with it, does it know who you are? Have you fed it information? Did you give it your writing samples? Have you told it stories about yourself and your life so you can get the best out of it? So I spent two weeks doing that. Be like,

25:31"This is who I am. Ask me questions." And Chachi PT asked me so many questions and I answered it and we started working together and collaborating together. me and Catchy BT, we were collaborating together. And it was at that point where I realized the more that I train it, the better it gets so that it can work with me and serve me in all these different areas. And that got me real excited about it. And I think for a person just getting started or that hasn't gotten good results out of AI yet, when they start to get great results and they're getting things done and it's solving

26:05problems, they're like, I need to put this on my phone and on my iPad and my laptop and my desktop and then they start to say, what else can it do? And using it. So it was at that moment that I started to say, all right, if I train it well and I give it what it needs to help me, it can help me better. And I

26:22became I that's when I said this is it. And then I said with the uptake of this tool turn on the news at that time and it was like every company was talking about ChachiBT and it was and um the news was talking about how many users it got and how quickly. So I'm saying well if this many people are getting on then companies are going to start using it but where are the people that are going

26:45to be training them on how to use it? and if this many people want to use it. And when you started to read on social media, people were saying, "It's crap. It's robotic. Oh, they don't know how to use it. So, where are the people that are going to train these people on how to use it?" And I said, "I'm going to raise my hand and be that person because I know now know how to use it and get

27:03great results and I'm excited about it." And I started doing work for my clients and they were getting great results. And the better that I got with it, the more I said, I need to teach and train other people how to do it. But then my schedule became so busy that I was being doubled and triple booked like getting requests when I already had my day was already dedicated to another company and teaching them. So then I said I need to train other people to be able to train other people in companies basically train the trainer. And that's when I became really passionate about teaching people, hey, this is the AI revolution

27:37and if you want to make some money, start being able to upskill the workforce, train other people and train inside of corporations, government, universities, schools, all the pub. Yeah. you know, because I I I think about the fact that you correctly identified an opportunity, but even more than that, the timing, like being being early to something, being on time. And it's funny because even the the experience and the story that you tell is really the basis of the steps that we're actually going to go through, like even those first few steps about the AI learning about you first. And even your uh it was interesting to me that even

28:13your first reaction when you're told about chat GPT is like oh not right now not right now right and I think so many people are having that moment right now where it's like they they see AI whether it's claw chat GPT or I don't know Grockbot or whatever thing agent and it's like they hear it and they see it but it's like not right now I'm not

28:36going to learn how to use it right now. I'm going to keep doing my thing that I do on the computer. And so you mentioned Donna in the beginning and I'm so curious for your perspective given that you've spoken with so many different people of like what are the common objections that you hear like the most important objections that you hear and then if someone even as you're saying them it start it's like

29:03yeah that's kind of what I'm thinking. What would you say to that person? Okay, so this is Rabban 1 million o twatlet. And anytime I leave the house for something business related, I always spray this on. So for example, the other night my friend invited me over for dinner. I knew there was going to be founders there that I wanted to build relationships with and I was honestly feeling a little anxious about the dinner as I was getting dressed, but I sprayed the rabban on and it gave me that extra piece of confidence that I needed. In pressurized situations, even the smallest things can add to your

29:35confidence. And one thing I love is that the scent gives off a very masculine, quiet, confidence type of vibe, which is exactly what I'm going for. I don't want something that smells like I'm trying to show off or it just dominates the room. And so, if you're an entrepreneur, it's the perfect scent, honestly, to use for a variety of business situations. And so, if you want to try it out, just hit that link in the description to grab a bottle today. Shout out to them for sponsoring this episode. Let's get back

30:00to the show. Yeah. So, the most common objection I hear is I'm not technical. People are like, I'm not technical. I can't use that AI thing. I'm not technical. I want to be like it's the it's the least thing. Like, can you have a conversation either by typing or talking? Because if you can do that, that's the that's like as technical as you need to be, you know, because the way that AI is when we have chatbt, we can click that microphone, that dictate button, and then boom, we're talking to AI. It's just knowing how to talk to it. Well, so

30:29number one is I'm not technical enough. And then I tell people my background, my college educated background is environmental studies and geology. I was learning how to care for trees and rocks basically. And so I'm the farthest from a technical person. I cannot build a website by coding. I can't build a software tool by coding. But that's where AI comes in. So it's allowed me to build software tools and websites in minutes literally. But you just have to know how to communicate with the tool and that's what they call prompting, right? So the better you are at communicating with the tool, the better your results are going to be. And in the

31:07times that we're in today, it's different than when I first started in 2022. Where where where we are now, you have no choice. LinkedIn said that AI literacy on their like most important skills to have AI literacy is number one and it was number one last year. You have no choice. You have to be AI

31:25literate. It's like financial literacy. It's it's a basic literacy to have right now is being AI literate. So, if you do not want to get left behind in the job world, if you're a business owner, like whatever you're doing, you have no choice. We are in the AI revolution. That would be like you saying, "Oh, I

31:42don't want to use my washing machine. I'm going to still wash clothes by hand because I don't want to use that technology, right?" Well, where are you now? You're using your washing machine. So, you just need to think about the fact that we're in a technological shift right now. And that shift is AI. And yes, there's good parts about it. Yes, there's bad parts about it. But today, if you could just focus on one thing, I would say focus on how you can benefit from AI. And then when you ask yourself that question, let's just solve one problem for you with AI. And if you don't know what it is, you can go to AI

32:15and say, "Today, I would like to solve one problem with you, Chat Gyt, or Claude, right? Ask me five questions about what I'm going through so that you can help me to solve this problem." And let's say your problem is email overload. So you describe what your problem is. It asks you five questions. You answer all those five questions and it can give you a solution. And you're like, "Okay, I'm on my way to solving problem number one." So just just having people figure out how it can benefit them takes them on the road to using the tool and the next step. But anybody that says, "Oh, it's not for me. I'm too

32:48technical. I'm not technical enough." That's number one. They're like, "You're technical. I'm not like that's not true." Um, and then the next thing is a fear of the bad that is coming with AI. So you just have to tell people, okay, just for one minute, just focus on how it can benefit you, so you're not left behind. And then I'd say number three is that you think it's too hard to learn prompting. And a lot of people say, I don't know how to ask AI anything. I'm not good at that prompting thing. I didn't take a class in prompt engineering. So, I would I I walk them

33:20through a three-step process to become a great prompter overnight. And so, the first step is a brain dump. And you just turn on that microphone and tell Catchy PT Claude, whatever tool you're using, this is what I want. I want a business plan for my doggy daycare that I'm going to, you know, have in Atlanta. And so, you give it a brain dump. And then you stop the brain dump and you see what you want up there. And then you go in the beginning of that brain dump and you put your clicker like put your mouse right in the beginning and you say, "Clean up this prompt for chatbt for clarity and

33:50impact." Put a colon, put a space, and then your brain dump. And boom, it cleans it up into a good prompt. And you're like, "Oh my gosh, that's exactly what I wanted to say." And then the last step is you just say, "Now turn this into a super prompt." And crazy enough, all the AI tools know what a super prompt is. And I tested it. I just [laughter] I just hopefully if you're listening to this just test it but I tested it and it worked and so I'm like okay this is great. So a super prompt starts off with act as a so it gives it a role and then

34:21it takes that messy brain dump turns it into a good prompt and then it turns it into a prompt that people would say you must be a prompt expert if you created that prompt right there. And so it starts off with a role and the context and any, you know, guard rails or whatever. And you look at this great prompt and you're like, "Did I just write that?" Well, you did in conjunction with AI. So, you know, that's what keeps a lot of people from asking AI anything is they're like, "Oh my gosh, this prompting thing is so confusing. I'm not going to do it." But

34:50then you say, "Just do a brain dump. Tell it to clean it up and then tell it to turn it into a super prompt. That's all you have to do. Just those three steps, you're good." Yeah. You know what I realized, Alicia? actually um cuz it was the same for me. It's a mentality switch. Yes. Which is we're we're so used to uh using search engines. Like we're so used to

35:08using Google that we treat AI as Google. Like we're looking for these very transactional responses. Like I ask a question, it gives a response. And what I've really found is to your point, it's more of this ongoing collaboration. And you can actually ask AI, what's the best way for me to prompt or what's the exactly what you did in the three steps of like turn this into a great prompt so that you can give me a good response and it will do it. But it's a it's a mentality switch. [snorts] And you know what even one of the things is I uh I listen to you speak. You're

35:44such a natural teacher. And it's funny cuz I was speaking um I was speaking with Adula on your team earlier and she was just we were talking about your energy that you just bring that so much energy and hearing all of that it was surprising to even learn that a few years ago you went through this divorce which seems really difficult. It seems I even said I'm like for him to see you now just because of everything that came with that. And so you have such an energy and like a love for teaching and

36:18serving. And I'm curious of like where that even began of like how someone that's experienced all the things that you've experienced. How do you show up in the way that you do? Like why is it that you do this that it's so personal for you that you care so much about it? Like what is the start

36:40of that why for you? Yeah. So, I would say the biggest why for me is I definitely am a people person and I love people. But also in my life, and I'm not going to say how old I am now, but I'm a lot older than you. [laughter] But in my life, you know, my dream was to always have kids when I was little. I was like, I want the kids and the white picket house and the husband and the great life. And um during the time that I was married to my, you know, my now ex-husband, I also developed cancer. I had ovarian cancer. And so,

37:12you know, eventually I had to have a hysterctomy. So, I had cancer and then I would do, you know, get my treatment and I would be cancer-free. 18 months later, it came back. And then, you know, and this happened five times during the time that I was married. So, Les Brown, who's my good friend back then, he called me and he So, I had gone to doctors. I had

37:33money back then. So, I had as well. Also, I'd gone to doctors in like Australia, China, Malaysia, like all over the world, the best hospitals in America, and they couldn't figure out why my cancer kept coming back. But Les Brown knew. So, Les knew my ex-husband. And he did not like him. So, he told me, he was like, "Alisia, have you ever heard of toxic relationships?" And I was like, "I'm not sure." He's like, "Have you heard when people say that person makes me sick?" Have you ever heard that when people say that? He's like, "Did you know that people can really make other people sick?" So he started

38:04explaining to me what's called relationship illness and toxic relationships. And he said,"I want you to do one thing. The next time that man walks up to you, just understand how your body feels on the inside." I'm like, "What are you talking about?" So I did it though and I saw, you know, my ex-husband walking towards me and I didn't know whether he was going to be happy or, you know, throw a temper tantrum about something. And so my body was getting hot on the inside. So we had our conversation. I don't even remember what it was, but when he left, I called Les and I was like, "My body is hot on

38:33the inside." Les was like, "You got to get out." Right? I just had to find that moment to get out. And that when he went on vacation with the other woman was the moment to get out. But, you know, during that time, I'm cancer-free after my divorce. But during that time, I kept getting cancer over and over and over again. Had a hyctomy. Never had the opportunity to have kids. But when I started teaching, I found something that fulfilled me so much was in seeing other people achieve something. And that pulled out that like mom instinct in me that, you know, I know my people. I'm

39:05like, this is why I was telling you, yeah, Donna, I just talked to her this morning and she did so well. Donna's older than me, but I'm like, Donna, you're my baby and I'm so proud of you. And I talked to Danielle this morning, one of our students, and she's a photographer and doing extremely well, and we're celebrating her accomplishments right now. So I think I see in other people the I give I pour my love into other people which also allows me to be a great trainer to them and to also you know give them what I would give kids if I had them. I you know and

39:36now I just have millions of kids that watch me on the internet and you know they're all grown adults but can do different things with AI. So for me it's very personable you know personal as to why I pour so much into people all the time and I pour a lot into kids as well but I think that journey of what I've gone through and then you know there's nothing worse for me at that time was to lo to have my doctor tell me you'll never be able to have kids right your your tumors are on your ovaries you you we have to take out your ovaries you'll

40:12never be able to have kids your, you know, uterus isn't good anymore. We have to take that out as well. You know, long answer to your question. But I think, you know, it's been a journey and entrepreneurship and life has so many ups and downs. We just have to find the best in it to keep building. I was like, well, I didn't have kids, but I can pour my knowledge and love into someone else and help them and help families and help other people, and maybe that will fill my cup. And that's what I've been able

40:41to do. Yeah. You know, and I and I tell myself this. I think that uh like great things can come from really devastating news, you know, like moments in your life where it's like this feels like rock bottom, like unimaginable. And I feel like great things can come from those if you can process it in the

40:59right way. And so, you know what? We're going to get into the steps. And I want to start where you started, which is step one is to overcome your fear. Sure. And you said first of all, I would want I would want them to overcome their fear of using AI by going into their settings and showing them data privacy. And so, you know, before we even get into the the settings and the data privacy part of it, why does it start there for you of like step one is you just have to

41:28overcome your fear. Yeah. Because a lot of people won't touch AI because of the fear of number one, they're like, "Oh my gosh, what I type into AI, where is it going to go? is it over here and everybody's going to see it so they don't understand their data privacy. And then the news, if you turn on the news and listen to AI on the news, sure there's some good things that they talk about on the news, which would be like the medical enhancements and you know the medical discoveries that AI is helping us with, but there's a lot of bad that's on the news. And so people

41:59have a fear of using it because they're saying if I use that, a robot might come out of my I'm exaggerating, but a robot might come out of my computer and take over my house. So, it's just fear of the unknown. But the minute that you start using it, you're like, "Oh, you know, I can I can type on a Word doc. I can do

42:16this. I can use Google. I can do this." So, once you get them over that fear, they're like, "Oh, this is what it is. Let's go." Okay. So, I just wanted I I wanted to to start by talking about the the second part of that quote. Okay. So, first of all, I would want them to overcome their fear, which we spoke about, by going into their settings and showing them data privacy. And and that was a really interesting part of it for me, Alisia, because I don't actually hear people talk about the data privacy and

42:44security aspect that much. Okay. Can you kind of take people into the settings and where that even lives on Claude? And then specifically why have you seen that's important for people in overcoming their fear? Yeah. So let me take you there and then we'll be able to answer that question of why it's important when you see when you see it because a lot of people have said that they've heard that oh everything that you type in is used to train the model and now their information is in the model but they don't know that there's a button that they can switch

43:14that off. Okay. And so right now I'm on Claude. So I'm in my Claude account. It says what's cooking Alicia. I'm right I'm in claude right now and you can do this in chatbots as well. So whatever tool you're using but if you go to your settings so you just go to your settings and then in your settings you're going to see so right here's my here and I'm clicking on settings um I just want you to go down to privacy. So in the privacy tab under preferences there's two things that I want you to turn off under preferences and the first says location metadata. This allows Claude to get

43:49location metadata about you. So when you're using Claude, it knows where you are and how you're using it. So turn that off. And the other one is help improve our AI models. And this is where they stick the data privacy under this. But the crazy thing is for everyone's account is defaulted to on, of course, cuz they want you to help them train their models. So you have to know where this is to go in and manually turn it off. Now, it says, "Allow the use of your chats and coding sessions to train and improve anthropics AI models." And while that sounds all nice and you're you sound like you feel

44:22like a good person for doing that, it's like no, we're going to use um this to help us in the most possible way, but we want to turn that off to protect ourselves in the best way. So, those are the two things that you want to turn off. And so now you're more protected in

44:40this session than when you leave it on. You know, the chances of your information being used to train the model are probably very slim. But just to protect yourself, turn it off. And now do that on every tool that you use. Now, if you're in a corporate government setting, or you're doing this for your work account, once it's a work account, a workspace account, a teams and enterprise account, this is defaulted to off because there's no company on the planet who wants to use their information to train their models. And the people that are using it would be their weak spot. So, they don't even give people the option to turn it on and

45:14off on a corporate account. So, this is my personal account right now. Yeah. Yeah. That's interesting. And I actually need to look look into that on my on my account because I didn't realize it's a default turned on default on you know what even so someone toggles this off even with that is there certain things or type of things conversations that you still just would never have with Claude

45:38or chat GPT. Yeah. I'm not going to put in my social security number my you know my personal information in I'm not going to get too personal with it. So anytime you're thinking about doing and sometimes it will tell you as well like don't put in your social security card and different things in there. So I would still keep those out. And then if there's a session that I'm going to have that I don't want even saved in my memory. And we'll talk about memory in a minute. On the top right of Claude, you're going to see this like it looks like a Pac-Man ghost icon. Do you see it right there? So when

46:09you click on this, this is called incognito mode. and whatever you type in incognito mode isn't saved in your memory or your session. The only bad thing about this is if you choose to go in incognito mode, you'll never find that session again in your claude. So, it's not saved at all. But if that's what you want, you're like, I'm going to type something in that I don't want saved in my account, then look at going in incognito mode. And so, when we think about the memory in these tools, specifically when we're looking at our memory here in Claude. So, if we go to our settings, um, we can see that

46:41there's something right there that says memory. Yeah. So, if you click on the memory, you can choose if you want it to search and reference your past chats and keep the information in your own clawed account. So, it's the memory of your account. And so, I this has gotten so much better over the years. I'm leveraging the fact that it has memory for it to be able to do more for me. So I tell people to turn your memory on, but at any time you can also delete the memories that you don't

47:11want it to keep anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Which would be a session or information that you don't want it to keep anymore. Yeah. It feels like a really good beginning. So you open up Claude and even I can see you're on the just on the browser. You just started an account. You've opened up Claude. You've set the privacy settings. The memory is still on. The step two that you then have in your process is to develop your voice

47:34DNA. That's right. And this is what you said when we spoke. You said we have to make sure that the AI sounds like you. So you'd have to train it to sound like you. It's one prompt, three samples, and we'd save that as their voice DNA. Can we I just wanted to start in the beginning. You said we have to make sure that the AI sounds like you. Can you talk what is the the value the impact of AI actually sounding like you? Because I think these almost like context set steps people often skip over it and are like, "Okay, can't I just get straight into it giving

48:09me ideas or we're building something or agents? What is the value of AI sounding like you?" Well, let me ask you a question. Have you ever gotten an email from somebody or read it and you're like, "You use catchy PT to write that." Has that ever happened? It's happened to everybody all the time, right? So, we don't want to be one of those people that somebody goes back and they're like, I know you wrote that with Chad GBT. So, if you train it on your voice so that it sounds like you, the result is the emails that you write, the sales letters, the the different types of copy, whatever you're

48:40creating, your articles, your blog post, your social media content, people will say, "Oh, she wrote that herself because that sounds exactly like her. There's no way AI could have written that cuz it's got her story in it. That's what she always says." So, or he always says, you know, when you train it to do that and it sounds like you, you're now putting yourself at the top of AI users because everybody else is just using it in a generic way, right? They're not training it specifically to say this is my voice DNA. Things that I often say and use that when you're writing for me. And it

49:13just it makes such a big difference. Now, when you write something after doing that, you're like, did I write that or AI write that? Cuz it sounds just that's exactly what I would say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's so and and you said you said it's one prompt and three samples. Yeah. So, I'll show you. Yeah, I'll show you. So, we have these prompts for everyone. So, if you're at a point right now where you want to do this with us, you can grab this prompt. Um, and I'm just going to show you what the prompt says and then I'll actually put it in to show people an example. But it says, I'm

49:44going to give you three samples of my writing. I want you to study how I actually write and build my voice profile. So, it's saying study it and then build my voice profile. Analyze my sentence length and rhythm, the words I reach for, and the ones I never use, how formal or casual I am. So, this prompt here just helps people to say, "All right, AI, you're going to be my ghostriter, and here's my samples, and make sure you study it, learn it, so you

50:10can be a better ghost writer for me." That's what it is. So, you're going to copy this here, and you're going to go to Claude, and you're going to paste it in. And then because I didn't give it any samples, so I pasted it in without samples. It's going to ask me for the samples. So then you put the samples in

50:25and then you can create your voice DNA. Now the reason why I also say to name it like this will be Alisia's voice DNA is because you can create voice DNA for your clients as well. So if you're doing client work, you can say here's how my clients sound. That's good. Or your company. Some some people have brands and their brands have a specific

50:44voice. So put your brand voice in there. And then now you can recall it because the system now has memory. Claude has great memory. You can say, "I want you to write this article for me and use Alysia's voice DNA, not brand one voice DNA, Alisia's." And then it goes back in its memory and says D. This is that voice DNA and we're going to use that to

51:04write this sample. Yeah. It's kind of cool how in within the space of like one I guess clawed workspace, you could actually almost have different profiles of like I want you to reference Alicia's the voice DNA and then it's Callum and then it's Michelle and then it's Donna, you know, and it's actually when you mention client work. I didn't even think about that, but it's such a good use case

51:24there. Yeah, let's let's do one. So, let me open up a new Claude session. Um, and you can see Claude says, "Your message ends and here are the samples, but you didn't give me anything." So, it's like, you're right. I didn't. So, if I open up another Claude session, we'll just use a um a hypothetical lady named Michelle. All right. So, let's use Michelle. So, I'm going to say in this session, I am working on things for my client Michelle. And the reason that I'm doing that doing this is because my claude is trained on me. So now I have to tell it break from doing stuff for me and we're

52:06going to do some work for Michelle, right? And then I'm going to say here's the message from her. Okay. And so what I'm doing here is it's the same prompt, but I'm actually giving it some samples. And this will be Michelle's voice DNA. So here's sample one. Um a text message she sent to a friend. Here's sample two, an email she sent to her supervisor. And the last sample that I'll attach is just

52:31something that she wrote on Facebook. So, let me just drop that in. And there's something that she wrote on Facebook as a sample. So, it it does you don't have to create something new. Just find things that you've already written. Or you can dictate something and say, "Here's a transcript of something that I said so that it can pick up from um on that from you." So, now that I gave it the samples, now it can build a voice profile from the samples. And that's all you have to do. So you you know you can

52:58take this prompt and do that. One one thing that even as you uh put it in the clawed window, one thing that felt important but I wanted you to confirm this if it is or not. The variety you have like a you have a text message, you have an email to a you have a text message to a friend, an email to a supervisor, a Facebook post. I just think about the three different contexts as people are kind of deciding and putting in their samples. Is that something that's important? is like give moments of you communicating but in

53:29different context. Yes, that is important and I will also say I love that you brought that up. So that is important and I like to do different context to get my overall voice because sometimes I write an email a little bit different than a Facebook voice. So try to identify my overall context but also you can have two different voices because the Alysia training voice is different than the Alysia writing voice sometimes. So I will give it I'll be like this is my voice DNA for blog post writing which might have a different context than my

54:00voice profile for speaking and training. So you can also build multiple not saying you have multiple personalities but you have multiple writing styles or voice DNAs. So you can do that as well. So um you know and I would give way more this is a demonstration but I would give way more samples than this or at least a length of a sample. So, if you're going to give it an email, give it a longer email that you've written or pick the samples that you feel best define your style, your writing style or your

54:29speaking style. So, if it's like an email that you cleaned up with AI, don't do that, right? It has to be something that really defines who you are. And people that don't have that, I tell them just turn on the dictate button and tell the story from childhood to where you are today. Just one story. Cuz nobody ever tries to make that story more than it actually is. and they [clears throat] can capture their voice DNA through that story and then give it that story and say I told the story of from childhood to where I am today I dictated it and here's that dictation and it's important

55:00to tell it it's a dictation and not something typed up because we speak differently than we type. Yeah. Right. And it will pick that up when you say this is a transcript or a dictation will pick that up. I actually think it's so valuable because so many people have this concern especially professionals people that do professional work of the AI slop of the you know the LinkedIn post with all the emojis and like you can kind of it has those clear identifiers that AI wrote this and a lot of people are scared of it and this part of the process and this step is like how

55:32you add your humanity to it you know how you add your personality. That's right. Because you, if you look back at this prompt right here, here is it's like, give me the profile as a set of rules a ghost writer would follow. And if you hire a ghostriter, the ghost writer's job is to sound exactly like you and everything that they output. So basically, you're telling, in this case, Claude, you're my ghostriter, so figure

55:56it out so you can sound exactly like me. So that you're not putting that AI slop out there. And then I would also say that it's also important to put things in here and to tell it the things that you don't like. So here are the things that you like, but you're also going to say, so here I said, um, you know, never use corporate words like leverage or utilize is useful, you know. So you can also tell it what not to use. Like I don't ever want you to end with

56:24inconclusion because I don't say that. And sometimes what you don't do is more important than what you do do or what you do say. So you can give it those constraints and it works. Yeah, that's good. I did I did a very similar thing in my um in the second brain that I built or I had a document that's like never do this and it's the the AI thing when it does the the hyphen. It always does the m dashes or like the emojis at the beginning of like title sections. Um, and you can ask any AI tool like ask Claude like what are the things that AI

56:56always puts out that somebody would know that this is written by AI and it will say M dashes using the word this or this or this and then you could say okay never use those and save that to your memory and it was like okay I will never use those when I write for you. This result here took minutes. It probably took five minutes to get me this result, right? And so if I had put it on a lower effort level, it would have been done a lot quicker, right? But for this, it can I show you we're done with Michelle's DNA. Right? So here's Michelle's voice

57:29DNA. And so it read through a lot of this and then it says, "Here's Michelle's voice bible. It's a 10-page ghostriter guide written in her first person. Every rule is tied to the exact line it came from." And each section has an evidence rating. So it goes in and says she drops the I at the start of sentences even with her boss. Examples, you know, and then it gives you the examples. She barely changes voice between registers. So going between a friend test, a text, a supervisor email. She removes the emoji and exclamation point. So it's analyzing the different types of content and then how what the the output is on that. Two

58:07things to pass along. She doesn't open with questions. the sales rules are thin. Um, and it just does that. And then I I'm going to say, okay, save this as Michelle's voice DNA in your memory, right? And so what we want it to do is, so, you know, if we look here on the right hand side, this is what Michelle would pass to a ghostriter. Who am I on the page? Here's

58:34my signature language, which is crazy. It can pull so much out of so little. Imagine if we gave it more context. Anti- vocabulary words that are never mine. So based on what it knows about her, it's doing that as well. So how I tell stories, how I explain things, how I move people, my humor and personality, pulling out all this information. So imagine this is what you would hand across the table to a ghostwriter that you hire. Now you have something to hand to your AI that's acting as your ghostwriter. And you can take this and put it in any AI tool so that it has

59:04that about you. Yeah. I see. I I I love both points. I love the almost like the thought of experiment of being what information would you need to give a human ghost writer in order for them to produce like content or speak in your voice sharing that with the AI and then the point of uh you can take this voice DNA and give it to Claude chat GPT because all of these things are always changing like the best one is always changing and so it actually means that you can take this and give it somewhere else and get started really fast. You know what the the second part

59:37of what you said? You said um and this is what you told me earlier. You said after you have the voice DNA, you said then we test it. Write an article. And usually people are like, "Oh my gosh, that sounds just like me." That's right. We can do that in this case right here. And so I want to point out one other thing to you. Um first of all, what you said about the ghost rider, the human ghost rider was so on point cuz you imagine you have a human ghost rider and you're like it's their first day and you're like, "Hey, write an article about me. They're like, "Who

1:00:05are you? I don't have anything about you." And that's what people do to AI. [laughter] But here, um, it says, "The next time you ask for anything in Michelle's voice, I'll write from those rules, including the anti- vocabulary list and the let's fact brag rule." So, it just says it's got it locked in, which is important for us. So, now we go to um a testing prompt. So, here's a good test prompt. Now write a short message from me to a former colleague I haven't spoken to in two years telling her I'm starting something on the side and ask if we can catch up. Use my voice

1:00:38profile. Keep it under 100 words. So I'm going to copy this and go to where we're writing as Michelle. Um and then I am just going to say use Michelle's voice profile. Um, and then I'm also going to put here, which also is Michelle's voice DNA. And then, and then I'm going to put me as Michelle. So, I'm just, you know, in this case, we're using Michelle as the example. And then we're going to press go. Now, if I was doing it for myself, so everybody that's watching this can take this prompt and just after they've done their voice DNA, they put it into their favorite AI tool. And I'm just

1:01:21going to turn the effort level down just a little to get a faster result. And the the difference that they'll see is that um if they do it like before their voice DNA and then after, they're like, "Wow, the difference is amazing." But it's only because you train the model on what your voice is and now it now knows that, right? And so, um, also if we go to, let me just do this test and show people. If you I went to chat BT Claude. If you go to Claude and do it in incognito mode, incognito mode doesn't save a voice profile. So, when you do it in incognito mode, if you

1:02:00want to test it, you'll get a different result than in your voice. All right. So, let's go back and see Michelle's. Um, so this is the one that has the voice DNA. That has the voice DNA, right? So it and when you look at what Claude says here, it says ba balancing the warmth and brevity in the messages tone because we said only a hundred characters and it said um here now it says I know it's been 2 years so this might come out of nowhere. I'm finally starting something on the side and yes it involves organizing so that must mean you know she does something like that. And then

1:02:31you can see the emoji remember she sometimes puts emojis in there. You're one of the first people I thought of. Would love to catch up and hear what's new with you. I'm free Saturday mornings or I can do a call after the kids are in bed. Let me know. No rush. And then you can see here it says it's 69 words and

1:02:47follows her rules. The news up front, one joke at her own expense, one emoji, one exclamation point, a drop subject sentence, time windows that fit her actual schedule, and a no rush close. If she hasn't settled on organizing um as her offer yet, swap the and it says swap it for, you know, this right there. So, it's really picking up on what her rules are. This is going to be different for everyone because we all have different voice DNA. And that's what the that's what the exciting part

1:03:17about that is. Yeah. I think it's um you know, can we compare contrast against the Sure. So, here's the one that is um just the generic one. Um and it says, "I hope you're doing well." AI always says that. Do you ever see that? It's like, "I hope you're doing well. I hope this message finds

1:03:37you well. No. Um, and that company team is treating you right. Come on now. That's just so generic. But you know, it's doing what it said. A former colleague I haven't spoken to in two years. Hi name, it's been way too long. I hope you're doing well and that company team is treating you right. I wanted to reach out because I've started working on something on the side and you were one of the first people I thought of. I've always valued how you think and I'd love to hear. I mean, it's just very generic formal formal corporate. Very almost like sterile, right? Any chance you'd be up for a

1:04:08coffee? That's so average, right? [laughter] Or a quick call in the next few weeks. No pressure. Mostly I like to just catch up your name. Um, and look at how Claude says, "If you paste in your voice profile or a few messages you've written, I'll rework this so it sounds like prompting you to kind of give me more, right? Give me more. Tell me how I can write it like you." And this is the cue right here that it's very generic. So never do that. Never generic writing

1:04:34ever again. Yeah. You know, I think about entrepreneurs. I think about the how useful it is to have something like this set up from the beginning because I just imagine you're reaching out to a client and you want to send like an email or you want to send a follow-up message or even you're doing like a pitch or a

1:04:52presentation in like a sales meeting. It's like we're const we constantly need communication. That's right. As entrepreneurs and before we would come up with all of that from scratch, but now it's like because it has this context, you can do it way faster. And I think the it's pretty stunning actually just to see the the difference because this you could imagine a human writing this text message you know just even some of the small elements the the no rush or like the let me know or like the in brackets with the emoji like you can feel like a human could have written this and I think that's a game changer

1:05:31actually that's underrated it is and I think the thing that was most eyeopening for me is the things that I didn't even know that I did. So, if you look at this demo of Michelle, it says news upfront, one joke at her own expense, one emoji, one exclamation point. So, when you start to see how AI what it what it got out of your writing or your voice dictation, you're like, I didn't even know that I said that. So, my AI says that when I'm doing a lot of training, I'll start off a sentence with but hold up. So, I'll train and I'll get to a point it's like, but hold up. Did

1:06:04everybody just see that? And I'm like, do I really say that? And I went and I listened to trainings and I got transcripts. I was like, I really do. So, you can see things that you didn't even know that you do. But the subtle undertone here of what she does, the news upfront, one joke at her own expense. And this right here, for those people that know her, they're like, "This is her right here." Even if they

1:06:26don't say, "Oh, she has one joke." They're saying, "This is how she writes. This is who she is." So, I can feel it. They can feel that it's coming from her. Yeah. You know, I was having a conversation actually with uh recently with someone. She works with a lot of entrepreneurs and what she was saying is is um a lot of people start using AI thinking it's going to save them time and it doesn't really even end up saving them time because they'll get a message like the generic one and then they'll

1:06:51have to rework it. That's right. So, so like themselves it's basically like if they wrote it themselves but here you can actually see it saving you time because it's like it's 95%. You might make some small touches but it's 95% there. And and that's the thing is that I when I teach in corporate how to do this um and I say, "Show me your process now." And they write the email

1:07:12just like how this one was right here. And then they'll go put it in Word or whatever and then they'll rewrite it. Yeah. Right. So they're like, "Now it sounds more like me." But I was like, "Well, what if we could train the AI to sound like you so the output sounds like you right from the beginning and then you don't have to do it." So you're

1:07:28right. So good. You know. Okay. So step three is to build your personal intelligence blueprint. And this is what you said. You said if AI doesn't know enough about you, then its responses are not that useful. So I have this process where we create a personal intelligence blueprint. And so Alicia, my question to you, the personal intelligence blueprint, it

1:07:50sounds very serious. What is the difference between that and what we just did with the voice DNA? Because that sounds the voice DNA sounds like it knows me. That's right. What's the difference between that and the personal intelligence? So the the voice DNA knows your voice, how you say things, how you write, um how you know it's it's identified you from the level of your style and tone, but what about who you really are? So a personal intelligence blueprint is basically your profile. So if you um are working with AI and you want it to know more about you so it can intertwine those things about you that make you

1:08:30amazing and unique then you have to have it find out more about you and save it in its memory so that it can recall those things. So when I'm writing an article or something with AI it's pulling in my stories. It's pulling information it knows about me. It'll talk about my home office the podcast I've been on because it's interviewed me got that information. So, it's able to integrate that information into everything that it writes. Now, it sounds so much like me because it also we're training it. So, if you think about AI out of the box, it's been trained on all of this information and

1:09:03data to be able to give us what we need. But what if you say, "Oh, I want to train it on who I am, my version." Right? Because of the privacy settings, we're not training the model. We're training your version to be better for you. So this prompt right here, which is the first step, is actually letting AI know it's building a personal intelligence blueprint about you. So it says here, you're telling it over the next few prompts, we're going to create a personal intelligence blueprint, a working profile of who I am, what I'm actually good at, and what my real constraints are. What kind of income

1:09:37opportunity would fit my life? So, this one here, I've also crafted it for this show to make sure that the people that are watching are going to get some ideas on how they can make money with AI based on who they are, their past experiences, their resumes, all that stuff. Really good. Yeah. So, it says, "We're going to build this in three passes. You're going to read my resume and tell me what you actually see in it. Um, you'll interview me to fill in everything the resume doesn't say, and then you're going to write the blueprint because our resume doesn't say everything about us. Once it's written,

1:10:08hold on to it. Use it for everything I ask you from here on out. And remember it for future conversations so I never have to explain myself twice. Don't start yet, just tell me you've got it and I'll paste my resume. So this last line here, don't start, just tell me you've got it, is when we're talking to AI, we can ask AI like, do you understand the assignment? And it will come back and say, I understand the assignment. Here's what you want. So it doesn't start working until you know that it understands what it's supposed to do. So, all we have to do is take

1:10:38this prompt and paste it. And in this case, we'll go back to Michelle's session. And right under the voice DNA, we can do the same thing. So, tell it we're going to build a personal intelligence blueprint. And now it's now it's going to ask you, all right, paste your resume. Let's go. Where's your resume? So, now it says, I'll read the resume, see what I see. I'll interview her to fill in the gaps, and then I'll write the blueprint. Once it's written, I'll save it to Michelle's profile and use it for everything that follows. And then

1:11:07so that's exactly what we want, right? Correct. That's exactly what we want. So I will go and get Michelle's resume to paste it in. And there we go. So, by the way, actually, I I love that you're I love that it's using the resume because one of the things, and I did this I say this from a very personal place cuz I did the same thing. I find that people that are working that then try and start businesses, it's usually the mistake that's made, you try and do something completely new,

1:11:39right? That's like something that you've never really done. It doesn't really align with what you've been doing in your career or any of your skill sets. Uh because we think we have to do something novel and like very original, right? And so I like actually the starting point being like, oh, these are my experiences. These are my professional experiences. how can I just build on that to make money,

1:12:01right? And it's like a much it's a much easier way to get started than just going straight back to starting from scratch and you've have no experience or any credentials in a field and you're just trying to build a business. That's right. I think sometimes we don't see our past experiences as being so valuable. So, I had a lady I had a lady ask me, oh, you know, she's going to teach in AI. She thinks that she's going to do like AI and healthcare because it's trending right now. And I was like, "Well, tell me a little bit about your past. I thought you were a a vice

1:12:31principal of a school for 20 years." And she was like, "Yeah, I was a vice principal. I was also a principal for three years." Like, "Well, why wouldn't you do AI and education?" And she was like, "Oh, yeah. It's obvious to me, but was it obvious to her?" And she was like, "Oh, yeah. I could do a in uh AI and education." I'm like, "Use your past to really help you build your future." So, I'm just going to put in this resume here. And so I think I think to your point as well, it's because we especially like even just watching content and being on social media,

1:13:04you see you get bombarded with information and like examples of things that worked for someone else. That's right. And so it's like yes, that worked for them because they were in healthcare for 20 years. Right. And it's like the what I've realized is the whole thing that you're trying to do and actually AI can give is really good at giving clarity on this is what are you specifically meant to do based on your experiences, who you are, the way that you speak, the skills, and everything that you've done up until

1:13:34this point. I actually think it's really an underrated thing that we don't talk about, but it's like it sets you up for success. And AI is so good at pulling that out, pulling out things that you don't even see. So, this is the next prompt that it says, "This is my resume. I want you to read it the way a business advisor would, not the way a hiring manager would." And that's important because usually when you give AI your resume, it's going to read it as if it was a hiring manager. So, you have to set the context and be like, "No, no, I don't want a hiring manager. I want a business

1:14:04adviser." So, it says, "Tell me what I'm actually good at based on what I've done rather than what I've called it." Because sometimes we put things on our resume and you you haven't put it in the pot that it should be. You've just said, "Oh, this is nothing." Right? Oh, I just did this. But there then people look at it and they're like, "That is amazing what you just did." Do you know how much somebody would pay to get somebody with

1:14:26that skill? So, if we go back here, we did this on a sample resume for Michelle. And then it says, "What you're actually good at. You fix broken system systems and your fixes last." Um, you bring money in, not just paperwork. You handle people who are upset for a living. You've done this for 20 years. The public's complaint desk, patient as escalations. So, you might be putting in these different jobs that you've done and AI is going to say from this, this, and this, and this, this is what you're good at,

1:14:58and it shows through your resume, right? Um, what you've undersold or buried, and everyone is going to find this. So, good, right? your best line is sixth in the list. Um 15 years undercuts you publiclix in you know in 2005 um to now is 21 years. Um the billing work has no numbers. How much denied revenue have you recovered? So we'll even even give you advice on making it even better. You chair a fundraising committee and it's

1:15:28filed under interest. Yeah. [laughter] It says that's leadership volunteer management raising money. It belongs in experience with a dollar figure. Yeah, it's quite damning, isn't it? You're like, "Oh my gosh, I did a right." But but I love it. This prompt will also tell you like the skills people will pay you for. And so it's going to pull out some of that. Yeah. So um how you think and how you work and

1:15:53then it says what I still need from you. So because it's building this personal intelligence blueprint, it's going to ask you for more information about yourself, right? So it's going to be like tell me more. Yeah, tell me more. I want to know more. Yeah, I actually I um that collaborative element to it I think is important of like the question and answer back and forth to getting actually to a really

1:16:15good output. You know, I wanted to move to step four, which is building your story repository. Sure. And it's something I think that you're especially like you excel in. So, I I think it's just going to be so valuable for people. But you say I would tell them how important stories are. Yeah. And especially for writing. so that we

1:16:33can create a story repository. Alicia, I just want to start where you started. You said I would tell them how important stories are. I think about your experience both in marketing, in like building businesses and now in what you're doing in AI and just like the speed of your rise as well, especially in the AI space. Can you make it clear

1:16:54for people the importance of stories? Why is that so important? Yeah. When we're working with people, they need to know where you've come from, what you've done to get here, the different like people ask me, why do I love Chachi PT right now or why am I using it? And I and I go back to in 2017 when I was speaking at Walmart Tech Live and there was a 15year-old on stage in front of me, 15 years old and on stage and he was talking about IBM Watson and how a computer beat the nation's best Jeopardy champions in a game of Jeopardy. And here I am watching a

1:17:32computer and the computer is getting smarter and smarter as the humans are answering it and then it gets faster and it wins the million dollars in the Jeopardy championship and I have to know how did that computer act as if it was human. How was the computer competing against two humans and that is the day that I said I need to learn more about artificial intelligence. Right? So, I just told you a story to get back to why I started in AI. But now, as I am telling that story, I'm pulling people into why I got started in AI and why where my interest sparked so they can

1:18:06understand that moment that meant so much to me that changed everything for me. And that's when I started using other AI tools after that. So I always tell people like you know you hear you hear the world's best motivational speakers always say like you know Les Brown says it he says do not tell a fact without telling a story and when you tell a story you know that's when you can bring in the fact so people learn better as well through stories and they remember stories. So when you tell stories through your writing, people now have a personal relationship with you, right? Everybody that's listened to my

1:18:43stories knows more about me. People will come up to me when I tell stories online. They'll come up to me and they're like, I feel like I know you because I know about this and that and that. So get people to know you better, but you can choose the stories that you want to tell as well. And so when you start to tell AI your stories, then your writing comes out with your experience and stories. And now people if if you're ever worried that people will think you wrote something with AI, they'll be like, "There's no way AI could have wrote that because they're bringing in

1:19:11your story from 2017 about how you first discovered artificial intelligence and it was that 15-year-old." Yeah. So let's talk through the prompt, I guess, that you're giving AI that it's coming up with this story repository. Sure. And story repository is just a fancy word for your story library, right? But when you're creating this, it's really saying AI, I'm gonna give you stories about my life and then use

1:19:38that when you're writing things for me. And so let's say you're writing a grant proposal. And in the grant proposal, you know, you're able to intertwine a story that would mean so much. Sometimes when we're at the moment where we're trying to do things, we can't remember all the stories of our life that would have meaning. So in this case, we're asking AI to pull out the best story. So it says, "I want to build a story repository. The personal stories I can use in my own marketing." So it sounds like a person and not a brochure. Based on everything you know about me, ask me

1:20:08for stories in specific categories. A time I fixed something nobody else could. A moment I felt stuck. You can change any of this any way you want, but it says, "Ask for one at a time, two or three sentences each. Then organize them into a story bank with a note on what each story is good for." Yeah. Right? And so if you copy and paste this into AI and I'm, you know, these are prompts that I'm giving everybody, but I want to also encourage them change it to any way that you see fit and you put in here and you press go, it's going to ask you

1:20:38different questions and you answer those questions, use the dictate button to answer them so it can get as much context. It's easier for most people to speak it um rather than type it like their stories of their life. But I give it so much. And then on the third day of every month, I have it on my calendar to go back and ask AI to interview me again to get new stories. So, you're constantly updating and and it's not just the new stories that happened within the past 30 days, but the stories that I might have forgotten or the stories, you know, let's go back and

1:21:09tell me more stories. So, if you just do it once a month, you're training your AI to be your best ghost writer again, to be your best writer. Yeah. You know, one thing I've realized is we like vastly underestimate because I think the problem a lot of people have is like, "Oh, I just don't really have that many stories." And it's like um I did this exercise where at the end of every day I would write down a story of

1:21:29that day. Wow. That's And it's this and you start to build this list and it actually it reshifts and like reworks your brain and like the way that you're thinking. There's stories going on around you all the time. Like we're constantly living these stories. Yeah. Sure. Um, so it said, I love this. A story bank is what keeps your marketing sounding like you and not a template. And that is boom. That's what we're trying to do. So we'll go one at a time and I'll organize everything once we have all four. Story one of four. A time you fix something nobody else could. So you answer that. Um, and then

1:22:01it's going to save that in your story bank. And then as you ask it to write things for you, now it's going to go back into that story bank, story repository, your library of stories. So just tell it your stories. And then if you're if you get inspired, you can say, "Ask me more questions. Pull more out of me." And you can keep going. I have had people who've done this for hours, four hours, and they're they're like, "It was so transformational because I was able to get it out." I love what you said

1:22:25though about writing it down every day. And I think people maybe even have your notepad up on your phone sometimes or your your voice dictation and as something happens that you realize, oh, let me save this story so that I can come back to it later. That was really good. You know, I just think about the like the millions of dollars of of products and and services that you've sold. And one thing that I've heard you say time and time again, even in this conversation, is at the end of your story is you will always go back to like, okay, what's the lesson or like what's

1:22:57the thing that people have to do? And often we forget about that part, right? because we get so wrapped up in the story and like hitting the emotional beats and the transitions, we forget the lesson at the end. When it comes to making money, selling products, services, your time, can you speak on the value of that final piece of like

1:23:18the lesson at the end of the story? Sure. Like why is that so important and how do you even get clarity on like what the lesson part should be? What the lesson part should be. So, I was teaching one day and I had somebody here you go. I had [laughter] somebody say to me, they're like, "Oh, I feel guilty when I'm using AI. I feel guilty. It's doing all the work for me." And I said, "You know what? Someone told me that exact same thing on Facebook. I had posted something about use AI to write your marketing emails." And she did it. But she commented under there. I did it. And

1:23:49I felt so guilty because I was able to write my marketing emails in five minutes instead of the three hours it usually takes me. And I've got it done for the whole month. but I feel so guilty. I don't even want to use it." So, I commented on it under Facebook and I said, "Did you use your washing machine in the last week?" And she wrote right back. She was like, "Yes, of course, maybe three times." And then I wrote back and I said, "Did you feel guilty?" question mark. And she never wrote back. Right? [laughter] And so, the point of that is is technology as it

1:24:17advances, we're using it. But do we feel guilty for using our washing machine, using our dishwasher, the different things that you know, you're too young, but some of us used to have to do that by hand way back in the day. So, we [laughter] had to do it by hand. And so, the like the point of me telling that story, when I tell that story at the end, people are like, "Okay, you're right. It's technology. I see it's technology now." And sometimes you don't have to say it, but then I will ask the audience and I will say, "Well, did you feel did you use a washing machine?" And

1:24:49they're like, "Yes." Do you feel guilty? No. But it's technology. You should be washing it by hand. How could you be doing that? So, what if you're using technology to write your emails? It's just an advancement in technology, right? We used to use Grammarly to fix our grammar and punctuation. It's just that the technology that's helping us to write these marketing emails has now

1:25:08gotten better. Do you feel guilty? People are like, I don't feel guilty. It's technology. Right? So you're just pulling people to a place where they can now advance and overcome whatever objection they had and you're using the story of how you helped someone else overcome that objection. Sometimes in that case I'm using that and then they're like okay all right

1:25:28well I get it now keep going. Yeah. You know, it's funny because you say even the terms that you put it in is you're you're helping someone overcome an objection and then ultimately that's what they're paying you for, right? You know, like people pay you so that you can help them overcome objections. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. And companies pay me to help their teams overcome objections or fears and get to the next level. But you can't just go in to train somebody and like, "All right, everybody, open up your computers. They don't even know who you are." Like, connect with them. I think sometimes where we go wrong with

1:25:59storytelling is going too long, too deep, no point to your story. If you can make the story fun, engaging, quick, they get the point, people will let their guard down and they know you a little bit better. And so if you're somebody who wants people to know you better and you're looking to make transformation within people, you have to be a little bit vulnerable. You have to be personable to them. So, um, I think people know a lot more about me

1:26:25than my mom would probably like. [laughter] Right. But, you know, it's through that that I'm able to connect with people. Yeah. Yeah. And I think I think one of the things that you do a really good job of and you demonstrate really well is it also doesn't have to be the most elaborate, spectacular, dramatic story

1:26:44every time. Right. But that's why we build a story repository too is because people are saying, "Okay, I want to make transformation here or I want my my article to be able to do this." An article with a story intertwined into it that's personal to you is so much better when you submit it when you put it up than when it's just an article about whatever you're writing about. Right? If you're talking about like the three transformations people can make in their life and it starts off with, you know, three years ago when I was sitting, you know, it's now personable. People are

1:27:17drawn in. Draw people in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? So, so step four, it helps you build your your story repository. Yes. And then step five is to decide your income opportunities and build a plan. And so what you said is you say, "I now say give me my three biggest income producing opportunities that you know that I could do to skyrocket everything and tell me why you think they're perfect for me." You know, even as I read out that quote and that was just

1:27:46from our call. Yes. Every word you said felt very intentional. Yes. And so can you explain the value of that step of now give me my three biggest income prodducing opportunities and tell me why you think they're perfect for me. Yeah. And I hope everyone uses this prompt. There's so much that you don't know about yourself that AI can help pull out of you that sometimes people will say, "Ah, I don't know if there's anything that I can do to make more money." or an AI will say, well, based on this, this, and this that I know about you, here's your three biggest income opportunities, but it has to be

1:28:21specific to you. Otherwise, who cares? AI is going to give you three opportunities, and it's generic to everybody. But when it's personal to you, then you're like, you are right. I am awesome at that. I can do that. So in this case, this prompt says, "Using my voice profile, personal intelligence blueprint, using my story repository, give me income ideas that fit me specifically." And me is in all caps because you want it for you. And when it's for you and personalized, this is so exciting for people because they say, "I like idea, too, and I'm going to run with that and I'm excited for it." M how

1:28:59do you go about thinking about that decision of like this is what I'm going to move forward with? Sure. Usually I'm using AI to help people make that decision. So when AI gives you back those three with this prompt when it gives you back those three ideas, it's going to tell you why it fits you specifically and then it's going to give you some probabilities of what you could earn in the next 90 days and what it's going to take and what it demands for you. And then it's going to rank them. um for it's like rank it for someone exactly in my situation or rank

1:29:31it for me. So, it's going to do that. So, some there's a group of people who will see it and say number two or number three, I'm going with it. And there's people who are still skeptical. And if you're still skeptical, you ask AI, I don't even know which one of the three. Ask me five questions to help me pick one of those. And then it will ask you five questions and then it will say, you know what, just go with number two. And this is why. And so sometimes we have to use AI as our business strategist to help us if we feel stuck because the

1:30:00worst thing to do is not make a decision to sit there and not make a decision. You're not going to get any you're going to be the same place you were before you typed in the prompt. So use it to help you make a decision. And then you know here here are some tips that I have for people on how to judge them. Like speed to dollar, could I get paid within the next 30 days or does it fit my actual lifestyle? or does it use what I already have or has somebody already paid for it? And so you could just ask AI those questions as well if you're unsure and

1:30:31you need some more guidance and AI will answer it for you. Yeah. I I think about who you are, Alicia, and like just the the energy that you bring and and we spoke about it earlier of uh what you do is so personal to you. Yeah. You know, like you you feel it personally and you have like this energy for it. And I find sometimes when I'm speaking with people, they're trying to make the right decision so badly that

1:30:54they miss the whole personal side of it. And so when you're when you're talking with people, how do you advise them on like how to make the the personal decision? Cuz my my thought is is like you can have all the conversations with AI that you want, but there will come a point where you just have to sit down at the desk and be like, you know what, this is what I'm

1:31:14going with. This is what I want. Right? How do you even think about that split of like the the AI versus Alicia at a certain point in her career just sat down and was like this is the way that we're going and then you were consistent with that for long periods of time and that's what made you

1:31:32successful. I always tell people go with that gut feeling like that initial reaction gut feeling that we have as humans and I say that because you know ChhattyBT doesn't have its gut feeling. It gets that information off of data. So, we're saying, "All right, what makes me uniquely human is that feeling on the inside. That's my gut feeling." And then I also tell people, if you still don't know, like if you can't even figure out what your gut feeling is, call five people. Go on your phone. Who do you talk to the most? And call five people and say, "This is the journey that I'm going on. This is this is homework that

1:32:05I have from my coach, Alicia." I was like, "Just use me." Because people want to help you. when you say that you have homework to do for your coach, they're going to say, "Oh, I'm going to I'm going to help you do your homework." And so then they'll help you and say you people always are asking you for advice on that. People are always saying this about you. That's what you should go for. So getting insights from the humans that know you the best can also help you to make that decision. But for a lot of people, it's also about impact. If I follow through on this, what impact will

1:32:37I have on my life, the people that I love? maybe if it's something you're doing for other people. So, if you can also just write that word down, impact, and then say, "What impact is this going to have on me?" And sometimes people, it's easier for them to think about the people that they love. What impact is this going to have on the people that I love? And then when they see that the positive impact, they're like, "Wow, this is exactly why I'm going to do this." I was working with a guy who couldn't find his why. Like, why do I want to make more money with AI? I'm

1:33:08fine just the way that I am. And so he I told him have have he was using chatypt chat pt ask you five questions pull out your passions let's find your why and what he loved to do was he did dog rescue. So then it came back and he had done so much corporate work. It came back and said if you focus in on being an AI trainer and you're able to do this and you charge $3,000 do you know how many more dogs you'd be able to impact

1:33:33and what that would do to your rescue. The man was on fire. He was done. he was gone and he was like, I'm doing this for this cuz the impact that I want to make and this is my passion right here. So sometimes if we don't find it within ourselves, we find it within the things that we love, the people that we love, the journeys that we love, and we can go

1:33:50from there. Yeah, I think it's so good. And so, you know, I wanted to go to the the final thing that you mentioned in in the five steps, which is AI can actually help you build a plan. That's right. Can you just demonstrate that piece of like, okay, I've made the decision. And I'm going to go with idea number two. Income producing idea number two. How does it how does it then build a plan

1:34:13which you can actually stick to? Yeah. So if we put this prompt in and we'll use Michelle. Let's go back to Michelle right here. Okay. So we're going to put this prompt in this section here using everything that you know about me and fits me specifically. Like what is it? What are the three income opportunities? So, you put that back in AI, but then you come back and the next prompt, let's go to the next prompt, is it says, I'm going to go with this one, right? The one you picked. Um, build me a day one test. What do I do today? Not the 90-day plan. Because some people get

1:34:48a 90-day plan and they're like, I'm overwhelmed. 90 days, I'm overwhelmed. So, I'm one of those people. [laughter] It says, "The goal is to find out if anyone wants this before I build anything. give me exactly who to contact today and how to find out how to find them without cold calling. What do I say written in my voice? What offer as a

1:35:08first step? Is it free, cheap or paid? And tell me which and why. What answer is meant to keep going. So it gives you this um one-day test that you can go out and try and when you see people's reaction to it, then you can make a decision if that's the right one that you picked or not. So that's one. And then after that, it will build your plan for me. So, it's going to build a plan and give you the complete instructions on that plan. And then you can tell it, okay, now that we have this plan, tell me what to do today. Today is day number

1:35:39one. What should I do today? And you can even give it a monetary value on your plan. Say, I want to make $100,000 in the next six months. and with your plan and with option number two that you told me is my best option and I pick that one. Tell me exactly what I need to do today and you're my business strategist and I'm going to come back to you every single day and you're going to tell me what to do every single day. So then the

1:36:02AI, you see the AI start to get excited. I will tell you what to do every single day. And Claude, especially when you when you report back into Claude and you say, "I did three out of the five things you gave me today." Claude will say, "Good job on the three out of five." but we're going to get to the next two before you sleep. You're It's Claude is a little bit, you know,

1:36:20it can really coach you. It can really coach you. It's really good at that. And so now sometimes all people need is a business strategist. Sometimes all people need is I wanted to say someone but something in this case Claude to tell them what to do. You do this today. You do this tomorrow. And they're like, "Okay, I will do it. I want to make you happy, Claude. I'm going to do the work." and then they start to see the effects that that has on them by actually doing the work. So if you say if you use AI as your business strategist in this case and you

1:36:53don't have to pay $100,000 a year to that business strategist or 200,000 business strategist can be expensive but you're going to use claw claw to do that and have conversations. You know how you were talking about like the conversational AI you've now got a coach and the coach can take you to the next

1:37:07level. Yeah. You know, I I I like the way that the the prompt's even been structured and the way that it's been framed because I think as entrepreneurs, momentum is so important. It is. And so, it's so important that how quickly can you go from the idea in your head or on a piece of paper to you're starting to take action. And it's like you get the first action step done and it takes you to the second one and the third one and before you know it, what seemed kind of insurmountable, you're like, I could never do this. I have no experience of ever doing this. you're

1:37:36actually there and you have that energy. And so I think it's so valuable, the five steps are really valuable in taking people there. But you know what, Alicia, before we get out of here, I just think back to your your story and where you came from and those moments from like being 11 years old to then be building this successful $6 million business and then going back to nothing. and that visual that you gave of sleeping on your sister's couch and like looking up at the ceiling and in that moment you have to do the thing that's like for most people it's the most difficult thing that we have to do

1:38:18as humans and we have to do it so many times in our life which is start again from zero and so I think if the Alysia that's sitting before me today could go back in time and could have a conversation with that Alicia who's lying down on that couch coach and like I have to go again

1:38:36like I have to start again. Right. What would you say to her? Yeah. I would say get up. You got this. You know, and I would say it how Les Brown said it to me. Get up. Get up. Get up. And sometimes, you know, not every day is a great day. I have to say that to myself. I have to say get up or you've got this. I have a plaque on my desk that says, "You've got this." And I have another one say that says let what you did today be enough because I'm one to say I could have done so much more

1:39:07today. And so I just have to have that plaque and I have to look at this. And then I have the other one and I just have to remind myself that I've got this. Like we can do this. And then you know sometimes that this the picture of what you're meant to be here on earth to do is bigger than yourself. And to remember that and the people that we touch and impact. It's there's there's nothing more rewarding than having relationships with other people, right? Or with animals as well, but you know, having these relationships where you can impact

1:39:37others can help you to fill your cup. So, think about how you can impact others. And I think that's a really big part of it. Yeah. You know, it's special. And I actually think the the framing of how you mentioned at the end is special, which is sometimes by like keeping ourselves small and not doing the thing that we're not we're meant to do, it's actually affecting other people. It is like they were meant to receive what you

1:40:00were going to give. That's right. That's right. Sometimes we know that we have a blessing. We know that we have a gift that we're to give to other people's. But but because of fear or because of anxiety or because of our mindset, we don't live to our fullest potential. And one of the things I love about AI is that it can definitely push people when they use it right to live at a higher potential than than what they're living at today. Um using that prompt, I asked AI like, "What's something I should do?" And it says, "You've been teaching people AI agents, but you don't have a course

1:40:33yet." It's like, "I don't know. I have my consulting course. I have the other course. And I'm talking to Claude and we're dictating back and forth and Claude said, "No, you are going to release an AI agents course." And so I'm laughing cuz here I am. I'm the AI, you know, trainer and Claude is telling me this. And then I was like, "Okay, I'll release an AI agents course. What should be in the course?" And it told me based on the things that you talk about, this should be in the course. How long should the the trainings be? And it told me how long the training should be. And so I

1:41:00created that AI agents course. And I've sold thousands and thousands of copies of the AI agents course. But sometimes I just needed to have a discussion. You know, I have a business partner, my sister, but I call her at midnight sometime and she's like, "Get off the phone. [laughter] We're not talking about this right now." But Claude is always willing to talk to me, no matter what time it is. So, I just tell people, hey, if you need that strategist, open your laptop or open your phone to

1:41:28help you get to the next level, right? If you are truly someone who wants to get to the next level, leverage such an important word like leverage the tools that can help you get there and you know just try just start today with something. Yeah. And it's fun. Yeah. You know, at least you know what I love is uh every now and then uh someone will come up to me uh on the street or they'll they'll watch the show and they'll say they'll be like uh one day I'm going to come on your show. I'm going to share my story. And it's funny, before you and I even started speaking,

1:42:00you were like, I've seen the show. Like, I wanted to come on. And so, I'm so glad uh that you kept doing what you're doing, that you came on and we had this conversation today and you uh you really killed it. So, thank you. So, if you enjoyed this conversation and you want to hear even more stories like this, then just click here. And also, my team is going to put some more videos that

1:42:23you can watch here. Thank you.
