Built in an Hour: Gareth Hood's No-BS Approach to AI

Speaker: [: 00:00:00

As they lead the conversation about staying grounded, growing smarter, and leading with what makes us human.

l announcer lady going, Kyle [: 00:01:00

AI instigator. Like it's not a thing, it's that it's not my title, but, and yet it is. And yet now I've had people go, oh, you're that AI instigator guy. I don't even know what it means,

but apparently I am, uh, I'm riling people up.

Speaker 5: You are the internationally known AI instigator.

Speaker 4: I, yes, yes.

Speaker 5: It should come with a costume. I feel like maybe.

Speaker 4: Uh, exactly right. Like a long trench coat and a Well, you could go a couple of ways. You could go like clandestine spy, or you could go just like punk, right?

Yeah.

Speaker 6: Mm. And appropriate.

nna sit on the sidelines and [: 00:02:00

Speaker 5: Sometimes you just gotta go get, get a whole new life to match something.

So, but actually, AI instigator, it does fit you. So there's that.

Speaker 4: Oh man. So, so what's happening with you? Are you, wait, what? I'll tell you what we, here's what we have. Committed to ourself is talking about people that are making a difference this week. Um, talking about AI readiness, you know, like what are you hearing? What are you seeing? Um, I had an, I had an interesting week.

I've got some things I can talk about. Um, well, where, where's your head?

Speaker 5: Uh, I want to, I want you to go because I'm calling up a little something that I'm gonna share with the nice people, but you start

ay. So as, as you may or may [: 00:03:00

That's really exciting. And then I'm putting together a workshop that coincides with the book, which is cool. And so we got the copy written, the landing page copy for the workshop written, and it was, it was completed like, I don't know, two months ago. And then I was sort of waiting for them to make a website.

And then at one point they're like, Hey, are you, you know, do you wanna make the website for this? And I'm like, well, I mean, I know I used to run an agency building websites, but I haven't done that in like 25 years. So I don't know how to build a flipping website anymore. Right. And so I have been avoiding this for like two months, Ann and, and so yesterday.

was open and so and so four [: 00:04:00

A completed website. Like it was like all of this angst about what I couldn't do or what a pain it was gonna be, or I didn't know how to actually point the domain to the website there. I just didn't feel like figuring it out, like all of the little angsty bits. Um, like it, it was nothing. And it looks great.

minutes, like from [: 00:05:00

Speaker 5: including the DNSS and whatever.

Speaker 4: Yeah. Because in lovable all you what, what lovable has figured out and like why the other website building. Services. Don't do this. You put in the domain name that you own and it goes and figured out figures out where you registered it. And then it says, you want us just to configure it for you? And so you log in.

So I just, so it goes, oh, you registered with this with GoDaddy. Do you want me just to go ahead and register? Just log in and give me permission, and then it's done. And so, so I logged in and I gave permission, and then literally two minutes later I typed in the domain name and there was the website.

Speaker 5: Okay.

Do me a favor and the put the website up

Speaker 4: for the people. Okay. Yeah, I'll put the website up. Hang on a sec, because I'm, I

Speaker 5: put what I think you told me and I'm not getting it.

. And it's wrong. Okay. Hold [: 00:06:00

Speaker 5: That was the thing that I couldn't figure out was how people were getting that part of it done.

10 per. Well, I don't know Kyle, because that's what I put in 10. Check person.

Oh, there we, oh, LA Lala. I like what I see,

Speaker 4: right? That mouth graphic. Yeah.

Speaker 5: The mouth graphic is still,

Speaker 4: the mouth graphic's still good. And the characters? Mm-hmm. Characters. Oh, oh, this was, okay, so wait, so I've got, I've got more things. So doing the daily practice in the AI salon has helped me a lot. So one of the things Cindy Kon has been talking about for months is do yourself a favor and make yourself.

Like an [: 00:07:00

Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4: So over the weekend I knew I had to update those characters 'cause I changed the characters and the order of them and things like that. So I had to deal with the characters.

And so one of the things I've been avoiding is I didn't create a folder system to put all my assets in. So God, this part actually, actually it took me longer. To find my assets than it did to build and launch the website. So, so I had a lot of those characters only existed in a specific Gemini chat. I didn't know where I created them.

l after large language model [: 00:08:00

And then I found them and then, you know, and then I did some Photoshopping and I did some stuff and, and you know, I got the, I got the base elements done for that, for that website over the weekend. But, um. But I've started putting things in folders now, like my assets. Oh,

Speaker 5: big boy.

Speaker 4: Not just saving them to the desktop.

I, I, I, I am, I am. You just like

Speaker 5: puffed up a little bit.

e, like if you haven't taken [: 00:09:00

It's just a disaster three months from now. Right. And so yeah, I went through that. But I did find all my stuff. I saved it. I named everything. And now I've got like transparent version of the characters and I've got the little lineup of them and things like that. So anyway. Wow.

Speaker 5: The characters are really cute.

So the characters you made in a specific chat with Gemini, you went one after the other, after the other, after the other. So at least all the characters were there.

Speaker 4: Yeah, once I got a style and then I gave it a list of, here are the kinds of persona mm-hmm. Like here are the kinds of people like, you know, there's, there's the, the librarian type and there's the, you know, person that's good with customer type and there's the creative director type and there's the strategist.

s instant. Perfect. And then [: 00:10:00

Speaker 5: Okay. Kyle, can you tell the pe I, I'm reading your website now.

You have, you have a program where people can sign up with you and they get to meet with you every week on ai. Whoops. And it's only $99 a month.

Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna launch in January. And it's, we're gonna take the methodologies from the book, which is basically, you know, we talk about that thing about everyone has gaps.

Yeah. And so this is basically taking a basic business framework of like. The different phases of starting and running a business or a project. Like you've got the ideation phase and then ideally before you move into build, you should do like some validation. Like is this actually a good idea? Because one of the things we do with AI is because it's quick at getting an idea out of your head, you can go, oh, that's a great idea, and then you run down the rabbit hole of building that thing.

y don't you take the step of [: 00:11:00

So, so the, the, the, the 10 person team is just people that are your partners throughout the process to take something that might just be a whisper of an idea. And really professionalize it. And so that's what that workshop's gonna be. So right now you can sign up, just show interest. You can't buy it yet, but we're going to kick it off in, uh, in January.

So that site will probably be live, I mean, it's live right now, but it'll probably be live and functional, I don't know, within two weeks or so.

Speaker 5: And do people sign up and they, they are with you for a month, or is it like they sign up and they're with you for month after month after month? What do you envision?

I want, I

Speaker 4: want a month after month after month. It'll be a 12 week cycle is how I'm envisioning it. Envisioning it, right. Well,

Speaker 5: 12 week cycle

: and just [: 00:12:00

Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 4: Yep.

Speaker 5: Well, this is really good stuff. I'm glad to see. I am glad to see you do this and don't, um, thank you. Don't like downplay a wait list. 'cause a wait list. People wanna get themselves on the wait list.

Speaker 4: So if you're excited about 10 person team, the workshop I'm setting myself

Speaker 5: on

Speaker 4: Yeah, please sign up.

Speaker 5: Yeah, please

Speaker 4: do that.

Beautiful.

Speaker 5: That is also Kyle. So that was,

Speaker 4: that was my little victory of, of, you know. Even though I'm in it every day, sometimes it's just a small thing about like, whatever the, the doubt is that that maybe is a vestige from the before time, right? Mm-hmm. Where, oh, I don't really know how to build a website.

t know how to code. I didn't [: 00:13:00

It had really generic just icons in there. And I was like, oh, let me just upload some of my. Character pictures and I had it put 'em in there. I just said, put those in the boxes. And then it didn't, I didn't like the order, it did. So I said, move this one to here and that one to there, and it did it. And I said, make 'em bigger now.

Make the text list screwed up. And I was done. And then I said, point it to my website, and I was done. I was like, oh yeah, why did I wait months? What was I afraid of? And this you were, well, you were is. This is what the people, if you're not playing with ai, if you're not the practice, well this is what they can get.

e if you're afraid of it, if [: 00:14:00

Speaker 5: Well, and it fits like you don't Exactly. You don't. There's so many things that we don't need to know how to do anymore that arguably some of us didn't have to ever learned how to do, but now we're getting into the whole United States educational system.

So, we'll that might be a little bit beyond our scope, but, um. I wanted to tell you about, let's see, so that's about an, an, a little bit of an unlock that you had. Um, I, you know, under the, the, the topic of people doing great things I wanted to share about, uh, community that I am a huge fan of. There's a woman named Noki.

And her last, her, her [: 00:15:00

And so she has right now in her community, a hundred women who. In a 12 week program that starts in January, like she's, they're in her community now. They're doing a big, uh, like a big sprint in January, who they will get their, uh, their creations out into the world, uh, with, you know, customers and everything.

nities, our communities, ai, [: 00:16:00

Yep. Getting ourselves or in getting ourselves into it, and then like figuring out how to get out of our own way because the AI isn't actually magical. We have to do things.

Speaker 4: It's, it's up to us to have the ideas. It's up to us to hold the, this is gonna be a weird word, but the sanctity of the idea. Like if you have an idea for, I want a bus.

Well, the how you create, if you and I were given the exact same business plan, how you are gonna create that and how I am gonna create that are gonna be very different things. We're gonna have very different standards. It is up to us individually to say, this is what this business means to me. Right. This is what this project means to me.

about being an entrepreneur. [: 00:17:00

It might be starting a business or it might be starting an Etsy shop, or it might be creating a bake sale to raise some money for the whatever, right? Like, but, but a lot of people are gonna be forced into some version of, well come up with an idea and put it in the world and stand behind it enough that you can figure out if the world wants that and is willing to pay for it.

Right? Yeah. That's some scary stuff. That's some, so I that, that sounds amazing. So anyway, so you, so you met this woman and this is, this is her.

Speaker 6: Yeah. So yeah, I think that's

Speaker 4: because it, it's not about the ai, is it? It's about taking that project. It's not about

Speaker 5: the ai.

Speaker 4: Yeah.

s about how for the, for the [: 00:18:00

Because community and like guidance, right? The guidance and like social contract we have with one another is what is allowing us to launch these things out into the world.

Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.

Speaker 5: Other people could have superior vibe, coding skills or entrepreneurial skills or whatever, but they don't have a community.

They don't have somebody to sit around with and go, I know we've talked about this 87,000 times, but I still feel like my boyfriend from third grade is gonna see me making content about AI and make fun of me. And

Speaker 4: Right. And therefore I won't do it. Right. Yeah. And

ecoming our, our valida, our [: 00:19:00

It's also,

Speaker 4: sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 5: I was gonna say, because now like. Uh, I can, I built my really kickass podcaster, uh, interviewer, uh, thing while I was on my Peloton this weekend. That's not that impressive.

Speaker 4: Well, it, it's not well in the, in the communities we're in, it's not that impressive. But it, but it's also, you know, what strikes me? I, I think community also becomes our educator. I think community becomes our reminder. Like the fact that Cindy Kon has like literally on a weekly basis, you gotta make folders, you gotta make folders.

so, because that's her voice [: 00:20:00

Yeah. Um, yeah, that got me over that hurdle much more quickly. And then there's also just watching what people build, right? Your the, the game that you made, the high five game. The, it's, what did I, well, how did I describe it? It's so useless. It's brilliant. Something like that. It's so worthless, it's brilliant.

I dunno, it was some very bad compliment. That was a massive.

But it was what was, what was amazing about that game is it was so pure to who you were. Right. And it's also the kind of thing where when I think about video games, I think about how I think about video games. And then I looked at yours and I was like, oh, that is like a completely unique, like I would never think about a video game like that, right?

I can have that lens too. So [: 00:21:00

Okay, what does that look like? Well, she's going to take them to the next level, and you get to go along for the ride with the other people. Struggling with that. I think that's quite brilliant. Yeah, I, I really do. I think it's really good.

Speaker 5: Me too. Me too, huh. And, you know, we always talk, join that community.

What's that?

Speaker 4: Did you just join that community?

Speaker 5: No, I've, I gave, I went and gave a talk. Um, but I've just, we have, we have community members in common, which is really cool. So some of her Chef Kelly.

Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5: Chef Kelly's in both of our communities. Yeah. Uh, Tabitha, flax, like, and by the way, what I love, this is something that we, I, we have to talk about some more.

t more of this in the world. [: 00:22:00

Yeah.

Speaker 3: And it's all

Speaker 5: deeply. Yeah. And it's, they know the. Every iota of that pain point because they have lived it. Yeah. No one is coming in from another industry just because they're good at technology stuff and saying, actually, let me tell you how you care for, you know, your parents with Alzheimer's disease.

Just because they're good at tech, she's making the app 'cause she's doing that right now. You know,

dropping fast, Gemini three [: 00:23:00

Instinct to wanna make a difference, wanna change the world, wanna have an impact and execute it where they execute it, where literally a year ago they wouldn't have been able to do it. Or two years ago they wouldn't be able to do it. Or three years ago they definitely wouldn't have been able to do it.

Right. But, but as the tools get more sophisticated and as the, your ability to just spin things into existence gets easier and easier, then it, it becomes 100% about. Who are you? What do you want? What are your values? What difference do you want to make in the world? How big and when, and just go. Yeah, and just go get

Speaker 5: And just go.

Like,

But then it just comes back [: 00:24:00

Yeah. And these master genius things, entities. Whatcha are you gonna do?

Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4: If if you're in a panic about what you wanna do, then you know, gonna be harder. It's gonna be harder.

Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 4: Yeah. So anyway, why don't we tell the good folks? I wanna get Gareth up here. 'cause Gareth and I beforehand were talking about the importance of community.

I think he said he is in like three or four or five communities. Mm. Um, and he's doing some really remarkable stuff. So I'm excited to have him up and talk about it. So why don't, why don't you talk about she leads and then I will talk about the salon and let's get him up here.

Speaker 5: Awesome. Well, she leads AI is.

t, but the best way to learn [: 00:25:00

It's come as you are, bring your kids, bring your cat. We don't care. Messy hair, don't care. Uh, eat lunch, eat breakfast. We literally do not care. And, um, you're gonna get a, you're gonna. Meet some amazing speakers, leaders who are, who have like deep, deep expertise in an area, and that then we get to talk about that area.

Mm-hmm. So what we're doing this weekend, for example, is we have, um, Ashanti, who is a, I mean, she's blowing up on TikTok. I knew her when she only had a couple hundred followers.

Speaker 6: A few weeks

Speaker 5: later she's got like 50,000 followers.

Speaker 6: Wow. But

Speaker 5: one of the things that she does is she does work with, um. Uh, your, your money, energy.

Mm.

: [: 00:26:00

Speaker 5: we all will be prepared to receive the money that we're, we are worthy of. Of course. Um, and then coupled with that, believe it or not, it's, she's teaching us B2B sales. So you've gotta get your money energy squared away.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 5: Before you get on the, you know, before you get serious about your B2B sales game.

Speaker 4: That's awesome. So

Speaker 5: that's an example. She is an, she is a FinTech expert. She is a founder. Her, her, her app is Vera Ai and it's all about, um, uh, reducing your debt with dig debt with dignity so companies can get their money without making you feel like a loser. Right? And, um, she also does this energy work and so that's an example of social Saturday and that's kind of the thing she leads AI up to.

t, GBT came out and we are a [: 00:27:00

Um, one of the other things that we just launched, we, we, we launched last week is the Mastermind practice lab. So our next meeting is tomorrow. So if you're in the Mastermind, come tomorrow. So this is this rolling 10 week cycle. You can join at any time. But what we're doing is Liz Miller Hirschfeld and I are walking through this mastermind practice framework that we've developed.

So everyone in the, in the Mastermind practice lab is designing their own daily practice around how they use ai. Um, so if you go to the URL on screen right here, that, that'll take you straight to the, uh, mastermind page. You can read about the, um. The mastermind practice, you can sign up for the Mastermind and join us tomorrow at noon.

e have that meeting. And I'm [: 00:28:00

Yeah. So anyway, that's the hassle, Kyle,

Speaker 5: for people who are in, if people join the Mastermind mm-hmm. They're in the PRA AI practice.

Speaker 4: Yeah. The, the, well, the ai, the Mastermind practice is just a framework.

Speaker 5: Yes. And

Speaker 4: if you wanna be in a group of people that are designing their own, the practice lab is this weekly meeting.

So, so you have it, it weekly meeting. Yep.

Speaker 5: But that's different from your 10 people. From your 10, 10 person team.

Speaker 4: 10 person team is a separate thing. Totally

Speaker 5: different. So for everyone, you can join multiple things mm-hmm. To spend with, spend time with Kyle.

: And you should. [: 00:29:00

Speaker 5: And you should. And you should. And you should.

I'm, I'm part of all of 'em. So you also get to see me, whether you like it or not.

Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Um, and speaking of which, um, um, Gareth Hood, who, who we're bringing up now, he, he is an irregular, so, so he is one of those weirdos that just shows up over and over and over again. Um, and he does it in multiple communities and he is doing really remarkable, remarkable things.

Um, he's, he's, uh, a generous guy. He's willing to share what he's learning. Um, he's really thoughtful. He is really intelligent and he is, you know, transforming how he used to do what he. Did into this new AI powered version of himself. So I'm super excited to bring up on stage Mr. Gareth Hood. Gareth, welcome.

Hello. Hello. Glad to be here guys. How are you? A

Speaker 6: fan favorite.

they should know about you. [: 00:30:00

Speaker 8: Yeah. So I'm Gareth, obviously. Um, I've been doing AI for, oh, it's been a while.

ars ago. Uh, actually back in: 2017

I was an artist spending hours and hours and hours mocking up using Photoshop to mock up. My paintings and then I, mid, I think it was Dolly and Midjourney came along and sped up my processes. And then I was a, I was working as a a pm uh, product manager and I really seeing AI starting to come up and I'm like, wait.

d of this. Yeah. And so, or, [: 00:31:00

Speaker 4: of company, what kind of company was it? You were a PM at?

Speaker 8: I worked at a, in insurance. Um, it was a, we worked, it was, uh, insurance.

I don't wanna name names, but Yeah. Insurance company that, um, we built the website for all their. Front end platforms. Um, and so as a PM you spend a lot of times breaking out user stories. And I was like, why can't I just have AI do this? So I built, and this, I think this is pre GPTs, I built a master prompt that I could just plug in and then give it the details of what we were building and it would break out all the user stories except criteria and everything like that.

moving forward and, and just [: 00:32:00

Speaker 7: yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4: The. So, you know, in a weird way the, you know, you know, you saw the writing on the wall, this, this, this could replace the job that you had. And you, you kind of at least once now, and it sounds like more than once, have, have written, have created the AI that was your job and have moved on from it. Yes.

Can you talk about, can you talk about that and I, I guess what I would, what I would love to hear for people who are afraid of. AI is gonna take my job. You're, you've now confronted that a few times and in fact precipitate it. Can you just talk about your experience with that, but where you also think it's going?

ike what I like to build and [: 00:33:00

And then they're like, oh, thanks, and we don't need you anymore. And so, um, and so thanks for that. Um, no, it didn't exactly happen like that, but in a, in a sense. Um, and so where I think it's gonna go. Um, I think you really, everybody's gonna be using AI as a tool. I don't think you should be using AI as an answer engine, which a lot of people just use.

and I know it's been a huge, [: 00:34:00

Um, and so I think others shouldn't, just, even outside the dyslexic community should be using AI to learn, not just get answers from, you can learn anything. I didn't know how to code. Right. And I, and before I jumped into this, and now I'm building full applications, um. And I think even before coding, vibe coding got big, I built a calc, uh, an um, an application to calculate pricing on, on murals even before it was even known that chat GBT could make code.

Speaker 5: Oh, you were trying to figure out how much to charge people when you make them a mural.

ists around the country. And [: 00:35:00

And I, I can't say no. And she's like, I have this idea of this calculator and I can't figure out how to do it. Do you know who somebody who could build this for me? I was like, yeah, I'll build it for you. And so I didn't know how to, what I was doing or anything like that, but I went and figured it out and I built a full application and she put it on her website.

And so it was based on how much, um, where demographic of the mural, so high, low, like. A fluency of the, of the community. Oh, Uhhuh, um, how big the mural was, how much coverage it was, it was like six or seven, um, uh, things that she wanted and involved in it. And so I just took all those and, and coded it into, uh, an app.

Beautiful.

m, have you taken any of the [: 00:36:00

Speaker 8: Yes. Some of the stuff around you. So I, both of these, this one, these were, or this one originally was, it's hard to see 'cause it's so dark in here.

Yeah. Um, but it's, it originally was an AI generation, um, concept. I had, I had been trying to figure it out. So I prompted my, my idea into fruition and then I then painted it, um, in real life. And so, wow. Um, that's

Speaker 6: cool.

Speaker 8: And same with that right there. Um, which a lot of people say it looks like a game cube, um, symbol, but.

ps in our communities, which [: 00:37:00

Um, just talk about, you know. Importance of that? Or what's your experience with community? Um, with this AI stuff?

Speaker 8: I think it's huge. Um, especially because no one knows everything, right? And it's moving so fast. You have to be, in order to keep up, you have to be a part of community or multiple communities, really.

Mm-hmm. Um, and so I get triggers or announce or notifications. As soon as something gets released, and not everybody, every community picks up everything, so,

Speaker 7: mm-hmm.

Speaker 8: Um, it's super helpful to get pinged on what's going on, and so then I'm able to be like, okay, this is what's going on. And I kind of get an idea of where things are at.

rom others, um, is huge. Um, [: 00:38:00

Can you show me that? Mm-hmm. And so it's been helpful.

Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. And then with, within AI Salon, you've created the, the sub-community for, you know. Leveraging ai. If you're, if you're neuro spicy, um, why don't you talk, talk about that group that you put together, why you put it together. And if, if people who are watching or listening, um, live in, live in the neighborhood of the neuros, spicy, uh, or full on card carry members, you know, um, how they can join.

Speaker 8: Yeah, so I, um, I'm part of, I'm outside of the salon. I'm part of, uh, the international board of Just From, of Dyslexia. Dyslexia. Um, and so I'm a board member. I'm there, but, and I saw the benefits of AI and how it can help people with dyslexia and other neuro divergence. Um, and so I, and I just went to the CEL Salon.

group of really intelligent [: 00:39:00

We've done many of those. Um, or we'll jump into, um, a certain tool to figure out how it works together. Um, a lot of the conversations are very a, d, d where they're all going in 20 different directions and, but we all understand what's going on and so, and then we come back together, like there'll be literally three or four conversations going on at once.

It's, and sometimes, yeah. And so it's pretty funny. Um, but we, it make, we make it work, but it, it, we help each other out. Um, and it's. But it's all about learning and how to make, help us a lot of time. Get more organized. Huh. And learn from each other. Wow. That's great. Can, uh,

: sorry, and I, [: 00:40:00

Speaker 5: question No, I, these you're asking the questions that I wanted to, I wanted to ask.

So keep going. Okay,

Speaker 4: good. So this one's really specific. I, I understand a DHD quite well. I don't understand, uh, dyslexia. I don't, I don't, I like, I know it from what I've been told from books. Um, if you could just describe like, your experience with dyslexia, but the thing that I'm really interested in is what is, what do you do with AI specifically?

That is, that is the level up for that. Like that I don't quite 'cause. If it's, if it's just about reading, you're gonna have your, your dyslexia challenges will happen on the outputs as well. So I'm just curious, like, how, how has that been a level up and what's that experience been like?

Speaker 8: Yeah, so there's a few, I mean there's many different types of dyslexia.

e's, but a lot of times, um, [: 00:41:00

Um, or necessarily describe Exactly. It's terrible for when you're trying to, in a, uh, a job interview and you're trying to describe something and you're nervous and it just start, wow. It kicks in. You just can't come up with the right words. Yeah. You just get locked. Wow. That's crazy. But there are some key strengths to dyslexic that also help with ai.

e our ideas and help us, um, [: 00:42:00

Um, when, when we do have an idea. So, um, I think that's a big piece of it. And then just like fixing our, our typing. That's great. I mean, you guys will always notice that, um, whenever I'm typing or writing something, there's always something wrong with it. My grammar's off. Mm-hmm. Something that's just my brain not seeing it.

Mm-hmm. Um, and that's just part of who I am. And I try my best, but I, yeah, it doesn't always work out.

Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4: Amazing. Amazing. I found, I found when I, when I type like. My anxiety about typos has disappeared because Chachi PT literally doesn't care. Doesn't care. You spelled 10 words wrong in a 12 word sentence.

It's like it figures it out. It's just amazing.

Speaker 5: That's

Speaker 4: right. That's

that I have have picked up, [: 00:43:00

Speaker 6: Yeah,

Speaker 5: yeah. Because what are we, if not large language models, after all, everyone should be able to understand what the hell I'm talking about.

Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think that's huge for ai. I mean, it also brings down the barrier of people who are neuro divergent or having issues that. AI can help organize things and still understand without ha them having to do a lot of trouble. It also kind of makes us a little lazy in a lot of things.

Speaker 6: Mm-hmm. And

Speaker 8: so, um, and, and so that's, yeah.

You, it's a, it's a fine line.

es it's just, it's so e it's [: 00:44:00

What do you think they might mean? And then. I'll take like my response where I know sometimes I'm like not totally making sense and I'll be like, this is a really a DHD and version of a response. Can you fix this for me? So someone, some neurotypical would be, would understand what I'm talking about. Oh my God, what a game teacher.

If I had been able to do that for the past 30 years of my career,

Speaker 7: wow.

Speaker 5: I really, truly believe that. Like. Work life would be much more harmonious if we could have a decoder ring like that. And it works so perfectly. Like some people who have a particular communication style, you think they're mad at you.

. We need a decoder ring for [: 00:45:00

Speaker 8: You know, there's like those, um, we took 'em at work. Uh, I probably have a book over here somewhere where you understand your personality. Mm-hmm. Like the personality test and you figure out how to work with each other.

Speaker 5: Yeah. Like strengths finder. Yes, yes, yes. And you, yeah.

Speaker 8: You just have, uh, a tool that my.

Idea, spinning the tool that you type something in and then depends on what type of person that other person reformats it into that.

Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 3: Yeah. Like, um, well, it's,

Speaker 8: it's,

Speaker 4: yeah. It's probably smart enough to understand just based on how you type. Okay. Ann's got a DHD with a touch of this. Garrett's got a little dyslexia and it just automatically sort of assigns you and then translates

Speaker 5: calibrates.

Speaker 4: Yeah. Ate.

then if you, if you had, um. [: 00:46:00

Can you filter this to prioritize commas rather than world peace? Yeah. So that we can all just move on with our lives. That would be cool too.

Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah. That's too funny. That's mean I think. Yeah. There'd be so, there's so many tools. I mean, especially with ai, it just really, I think you talked about it earlier, brings down the barrier to entry of what people wanna create.

d that. Right. Yeah. And now [: 00:47:00

And people's just ideas are coming. And so the people who have ideas are the ones who are going to thrive. Yeah. And it's gonna allow for some amazing things to be created just because of people's ideas who haven't been able to express them before.

Speaker 5: That is everything. That is everything.

Speaker 7: This is a, this is a good comment.

Speaker 4: Next question with chat GBTI wanna know what it thinks of me. I, I was, as you two were talking, I was thinking like, you know, wouldn't it be amazing and I, I can do this. I've got lots of content to do. This is, I take my, the transcript of my life and say, um, tell me what. My talking sounds like to a neurotypical person,

that's actually a good idea.[: 00:48:00

Yeah.

Speaker 5: For the, for the person who said they're gonna ask what Che GPT thinks of me, ask Che GP gt, tell Chad GPT that it is on IO Ayahuasca and ask what it thinks of you.

Speaker 6: That's great.

Speaker 4: That

Speaker 5: one. That.

Speaker 4: Yeah, that's, that's a good one. That one

Speaker 5: made me cry. Yeah. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 4: I would, the, the other one that I've done that's very insightful is Ask Chat GPT.

Um. What's in between the cracks of what you've already talked about? Yeah, that's a good prompt. I haven't done that in a while. Yeah, that, that one's a good one. And yeah, because it's got memory now, like, you know, doing that period periodically is probably not a bad idea. What, what is, what are some things right now, Gareth, that you're excited about, whether it's with AI or outside of ai?

ined you'd be excited about? [: 00:49:00

Speaker 8: I think part of it is I, and I just mentioned it, is the lowering the air, the, the barrier to entry for those who couldn't do this before, um, uh, of getting, creating something or coming up with an I or seeing an idea out.

Um, and I think that is what I'm excited about, right? Top of mind. I've been really excited about, um. Uh, Google's Gemini three that came out yesterday. Was it yesterday?

Speaker 4: Yep.

Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah. Seems

Speaker 4: like a week already. It was

Speaker 8: yesterday. So, I mean, I think, yeah, it's, I think it's really the, I is really in the step in the right direction of where I going.

focused, but they're kind of [: 00:50:00

With different ais and different solutions. Yeah. And so they, I mean, if you know anything about Google and ai, they have so many platforms and so many different things, like people just, yeah. And I'm sure Mo, I mean, I haven't even been to all of 'em because they don't, they're not connected in any way.

They're all spread out. Yeah. And at first I thought, this is terrible because you don't know what's out there and their, their approach was. We do it. So, because there's different use cases or different groups of people, right? Who go and who want that tool, and I'm seeing that. I think it's really good. I think it's good that they're doing that.

Um, and it keeps the [: 00:51:00

Speaker 3: Oh

Speaker 5: yeah.

Speaker 8: And so instead of you're getting one feedback on chat, GBT, you're getting feedback on each tool. Mm-hmm. Um, which makes sense.

Um, but yeah, I think I, I do, I'm excited to see what's next, but I really love what Gemini three is doing, being able to create, um. A Lego builder and a day. And so, um, well, so,

Speaker 4: so this is a question from Gwen. You, you said before that, that you thought, you know, people with with ideas are gonna be the, the power of people moving forward, and that's directly what her question is.

Um, where do you get your ideas? Where do you get your inspiration? What,

blem because I have too many [: 00:52:00

Speaker 6: to that.

Speaker 8: Me too.

Speaker 6: Me too. So bad.

Speaker 8: I was trying to figure out how to describe it. I was like, I'm like a swarm of bees on Red Bull sometimes.

Mm. And so, and they're just, I have so many ideas, and a lot of times it inhibits me because I get stuck like I, mm-hmm. Overload of ideas. Yeah. Um, and so, I mean, it literally could be, um, one something I look at and then I just get tunnel vision on that idea. And it drives my wife crazy. 'cause she's like, I, and I'm like, I have to finish this out.

I have to do this. Um, and it's hard. And so

Speaker 6: mm-hmm.

hat if we built the Lego app [: 00:53:00

And then what if we just add it? It'll give you instructions on how to build it. And so, and then I, within like a couple hours or an hour or so. Last night I was able to almost build the whole thing, and that's just using Gemini three. So it's pretty crazy.

Speaker 5: What if we took the $8 million worth of perfectly wonderful Legos that are in my, in my garage and put them all on the ground and took a picture of them?

Yes. And then had. Had chat P had what? Who, what? It doesn't matter who make new sets of instructions for all of the halfway, there's a tool out

Speaker 8: there that does that already. Yeah.

Speaker 5: Oh, there is? Yeah. Yeah, there's,

Speaker 4: yeah, there's a, it's you. You take a picture of loose Legos and it comes up with things you can build with it.

that's brilliant. And it'll [: 00:54:00

Speaker 4: Yeah. Exactly.

Speaker 8: I

Speaker 6: can't find this piece. What am I doing with my life?

Speaker 4: Yeah,

Speaker 6: exactly.

Speaker 8: I did try to use AI yesterday we're, we always do puzzles during the winter time and I tried to take a picture of the puzzle from the top and it was like, Hey, I'm trying to figure out this section, where are the puzzle pieces?

And I gave up because it wasn't working too well and I was getting too distracted and so, um, yeah, it was pretty funny.

Speaker 5: What's in your fridge? Yeah, Vicki. Exactly.

Speaker 8: It's in your fridge. Exactly.

Speaker 4: Um, okay, so we're gonna ask you the question we ask every guest, and it's, uh, I know you, you're gonna see this one coming 'cause it's called the AI Readiness Project.

ink ultimately this, this is [: 00:55:00

Speaker 8: I, and I have people I know who are watching that are in this position and are trying to figure out how to jump into ai. And I think it's really about, and you preach it all the time, is play, just play.

Speaker 6: And

Speaker 8: I will always say is be afraid to fail and don't give up on what you're trying to do. Just because Chachi BT doesn't give you what you're looking for the first time.

nd experimenting are what AI [: 00:56:00

Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Fantastic. Fantastic.

Speaker 4: Well, this, this has been, uh, this has been super cool. Um. I am so excited for, like, I feel like you're, your career at this point is you've got all these different, um, paths that you're going down simultaneously and you sort of pause for a bit, solve a problem, then figure out the next one and moving on.

Is that, how's your, uh, do you, do you miss the regularity

Speaker 8: of the job? Do you like the hustle? I, the A DH ADHD me in me loves. Job. Um mm-hmm. Because it keeps me structured. Yeah. Um, and I kind of keep things going and when I, um, I'm about to start a new Jo, uh, start with a new company on Monday. Um, if I don't have structure, it's, it's tough on myself.

Um, and so, but [: 00:57:00

Speaker 7: Beautiful. Cool. Cool. What's the

Speaker 8: new job you're starting? I am going to be the AI strategy director for a health tech company.

Speaker 7: Fancy. I like it. Wow.

Speaker 8: Good job on that. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. But it's not something that just pops up. This is something I've been working towards and, and kind of for what, two and a half, three or over three years, three, four years.

Yeah. Yeah. So [: 00:58:00

Speaker 5: awesome. Gareth, thanks for being such a great, just, I don't know, just a warm, encouraging soul out there in the world. For those of us who are up here on, you know, on these dumb screens with all the streaming and the, the buttons to push and stuff. Um, it always, it, it, it means so much to have people who.

Believe in what you're up to. Enough to, to show up while we're here and I don't know. You probably can't. You probably wouldn't. I don't know if you could know. It just makes a huge difference. It means a lot to us. So thank you for being in our corner. It's been a real, a real boost. A real boost to have you in our corner.

uh, it's healthy. Um, and I [: 00:59:00

Um, I'm, every, I would say I'm gonna be everyone's fan. Um, I'm not mad if you succeed and I don't. Mm. Nice. I want you to succeed. That's awesome. Yeah. If I can help you in that success, let's do it. Beautiful. Love it. I love it.

Speaker 4: I love it. Alright sir. Well I'll probably you later tonight. The meeting coming up, I, I'll promise see tomorrow too.

Alright.
