February 22, 2024 07:57 - 10 minutes - 14.9 MB

One message I’m seeing a bit is an ad from Jack Delosa from the Entourage, who said “If you’re a business owner, AI is not going to take your business, but a competitor with AI will.” In this Inside Out episode, I unpack that message and call to action, and what you should do about it, whether you think AI is a threat to yo...

5 ways to not write the book you’ve always wanted to write

February 14, 2024 10:18 - 8 minutes - 11.7 MB

Writing a book. In my experience, so many people say they could if they wanted to, or should write one when you talk to them at a BBQ. But should you do it?  My thinking is, if you're talking about it, you should find a way to start doing it. Or stop lying to yourself that you will one day. The truth is for most of us, like many things out there, you have no idea what you are doing which is one of the reasons you haven't started. Why should you know the "how to's" and the "ins and outs...

I unpack this quote, what it means to me, and how it relates to creating content in the real world so you don't get caught in the self-promot...
