83% of dollars in this country come from big pharma for advertisers so this is why the news sucks so we we designed something that really goes against the grain of how media works you know i think we got 23 million views on our facebook page last month that that's the thing i'm holding in my hand i mean they're watching it on their phones a i's not going to put professionals out of business i is going to put professionals who don't use AI out business. I think that AI is going to be able to do 80% of the business. What is the 20%

0:25.1

it can't do? And that's what you just named. And so what professionals need to do is they need to

0:29.8

What it is, Brad Lee back again with another episode of dropping bombs today in the studio folks got a real

0:38.5

treat for you craig sewing in the house thanks for having me here man what's going down Craig

0:43.4

what isn't going down that is a is a crazy world that we live in as entrepreneurs folks if you

0:49.1

guys don't know this dude he's the uh big tech wizard and media giant behind American Dream Media, which I find to be very interesting.

1:00.7

So what you do essentially is produce like almost like reality shows, but specifically for top people in certain industries, mainly real estate.

1:12.6

So you're making like little TV shows that are in local markets for like the top realtors.

1:20.7

Yeah.

1:21.2

And they get like what business from that?

1:23.9

A good way to look at it is, you know, even that term reality TV, I think people might think of what we're used to in reality real estate TV shows, you know, the million dollar listing, flip or flop, chip and Joanna. A lot of those things can be really entertaining, but they're also very scripted, dramatic, and in some of the events and those things aren't very real. So we actually do the opposite of that. We're a real show, real professional, sharing real stories.

1:45.9

We kind of center around positive media, which I think the world really needs.

1:49.9

But niched in neighborhoods.

1:50.9

So it's from a business perspective, it's a B2B model first before it's a B2C show.

1:57.5

So we partner with top real estate teams across the country.

2:00.1

We create stories about their

2:01.3

neighborhoods. And then ultimately we create really good content that airs on national networks like

2:06.0

HGTV, which everyone's familiar with. And then, of course, in today's world, gets repurposed

2:10.3

in social media. So I always say it's a real show, not a reality TV show, but content at scale,

2:16.0

for sure, 100 shows across the country. Each show has its,

2:19.0

or each market has its own show. So it's kind of a robust content strategy in media. Yeah.
