| 0:00.0 | How are you? Well, come on in here. I'm so glad to have you today. A couple of days after Easter, and I'm still working on my big Easter bunny. I got, it's a chocolate bunny. My wife said, what'd you do that for? I literally bought it myself and brought it home. It was on sales Sunday afternoon. Why is it? Because I need a boost. I need a daily boost. I need a daily boost. I need a daily boost. From Motivation to Move.com, former fat guy living in a relatively in shape, hot, old guy's body. It's awesome. Yes, I like the Easter bunnies. I like the milk chocolate thing. I know. Some people hate it, but I kind of like it. If you ever want to buy me candy, by the way, if it's around the holidays, it is absolutely peppermint patties. The real ones with the sugar and everything. Any other time of the year, it is absolutely a family-sized pack of Twizzlers. I know the worst thing in the world you could possibly eat. I don't do it all the time, but I do it sometimes. And if that's not around or sometimes even if is that around, the biggest bag of peanut M&Ms you can find will make Scott happy. It just does. And I have to really be careful because I will eat the whole bag in one setting and that's not good for anything about my body. Good to have you here today. |
| 1:12.0 | I want to let you know that Notes from Scott.com is active. I didn't have a fancy name for it this time. I just gave up. I said, what is it? It's a note from Scott. So go to Notes from Scott.com. I'll send an email twice a week, usually on a Tuesday and a Thursday. People like them. They're not unsubscribing. So I'm, there's no sales pitch. |
| 1:26.4 | It's so sneaky. |
| 1:27.4 | Listen, I will probably, if I want to do something, if I want to sell something, if I want to do a workshop or a webinar, and I do those from time to time, I'll just send you another email. And I'll tell you get there. And if I want to sell something, I'll go sell it to you. I'm not going to trick you with this one. This is just for us to connect. Okay. Notes from Scott.com. So I've been talking about the AI thing and the AI era that's coming and we're going to arc this for a couple of days and then kind of get off at maybe Thursday. We'll do that a little bit. I'm just kind of on the roll right now. I mentioned those apps I was writing. You've heard me talking about my daily awareness diary that I have people doing, done it for a few years now. It's so spectacularly |
| 2:01.5 | good about, if you want to find clarity, this thing just opens you up. I mean, it really, truly does. Anybody who's done it and nobody likes to do it because, oh, I have to write it every day, and I have to keep a diary, and I have to put it in a GPT, and all that. No, we're writing an app for you now. That's it. Just every single day, spend about six, seven minutes on it. |
| 2:20.1 | And after a couple of days, it starts spitting out who you are. |
| 2:22.7 | Talk about clarity. |
| 2:24.2 | That's what AI is helping me do. |
| 2:25.8 | And I'll tell you more about that here in the future. |
| 2:27.8 | But you know, with the AI thing, I mean, you can't hire somebody else to do your push-ups? |
| 2:30.6 | And you can't hire AI to do your pushups, can you? Just can't do that. I mean, it can write your first draft of anything you want to do. If you have a workflow, if you're at work, if you're writing letters, it doesn't matter what it is. It can write the first draft. It can research your competitors. Really good of that. Summarize a years with a data like, boom, like that, generate social content, draft emails, build workflows, the whole thing. I actually used it last night. I watch about 10 videos a day. |
| 2:50.8 | These are people I follow all the time in different niches and different industries that I just want to know about and they're right on the edge of their game. And I watch these videos, but it takes time. So I just built an AI workflow to go out to YouTube to check and see if they have a new video. if they did, grab the transcript, bring it back to Claude, summarize it for me and give me the executive summary in my email |
| 3:10.8 | inbox. Boom. I've just taken hours of the work. I'm doing it in about 20 minutes reading time. |
| 3:17.5 | So much you can do. A. I can do a lot. But there's one thing it cannot do. And for the entrepreneur |
| 3:23.2 | that you might be, because I think in the future here, I think a lot of us are going to be entrepreneurs like I've been for a long time. But when the workplace starts to change, a lot of us are going to do other things because the same thing you're doing at work for somebody else right now and hating, you can do on your own these days. Hmm. World's changing, guys. Years ago, I was working with a woman who kept hiring personal trainers. |
| 3:45.4 | Not the same one, different ones, every few months. |
| 3:48.2 | She'd find someone, work with them for a while, and get some results for sure. |
| 3:52.3 | And then she kind of drift a little bit and then start over with somebody new. |
| 3:54.7 | It's just what she did. |
| 3:56.3 | So what I asked her about it. |
| 4:07.5 | She said she just needed someone to push her. Push her to do what? To go, she said. She wasn't hiring a trainer. She was hiring a renting motivation from the outside, basically. That's about what |
| 4:12.6 | it is, right? I'm kind of a motivation rental here. |
