Summary
I brought an AI expert to Maui last week who's raised over $117 million using AI. And he thinks all the scientists screaming about AI doom are missing the point entirely.
Joe Stolte joined Cam and me to answer the question I've been losing sleep over: Are we all dead because of AI?
Here's what's wild: the people screaming the loudest about AI destroying humanity? They've never actually built anything. They're catastrophizing because it's easier to imagine terrible futures than create positive ones.
Meanwhile, regular people who understand AI are quietly automating their businesses, raising millions with AI-generated pitch decks, and scaling faster than ever before.
In this episode:
Why your brain is wired to fear AI (and why that's costing you money)
The newspaper headlines that said electricity would "destroy humanity" (sound familiar?)
Joe's 5-step framework: Learn AI → Use AI → Build with AI → Teach AI → Scale with AI
How he raised $117M using AI to create pitch decks and presentations
Real examples of how AI is replacing jobs (and why that's actually good news)
The Dan Sullivan story: Why we're terrible at predicting the future but great at attaching meaning to things
How to use AI right now even if you're scared or skeptical
While everyone's arguing about whether AI will kill us, your competition is using it to automate, scale, and get rich.
DM me the word "BEARD" and I’ll send you all the resources mentioned in the episode.
