0:00 All right, let's do this.
0:02 >> But but the the silver lining is that uh
0:07 >> if you ever get scammed with crypto,
0:11 AI is really good at knowing how to help
0:13 you unpack that.
0:15 >> Oh yeah. [music] Yeah. Well, when I was
0:18 doing the Neotokyo stuff, then you just
0:20 had to rely on like smart people in the
0:22 community, which that one had a lot of
0:24 them, which was good. But now you can
0:27 just figure that [ __ ] out. It's amazing.
0:31 If it sounds too good to be true, it
0:34 probably is. All right, I'll see you out
0:36 there. [music]
0:47 >> [music]
0:58 >> Champy.
1:02 [music]
1:07 [music]
1:12 There's been something, baby, I've been
1:14 trying to say.
1:17 >> [music]
1:17 >> for aging. It seems I don't [singing]
1:19 know how
1:23 past and the future now surrounding me.
1:28 [music] Surrender to whatever [singing]
1:30 you feel can be found.
1:34 There's been a little trouble [music]
1:37 since you came to my rescue.
1:42 >> [music]
1:43 >> And if you like all of the rest, I would
1:45 have quit you long ago, but I couldn't
1:48 do [singing] that.
1:51 [music]
1:52 Oh, tell me now. Why never went
1:56 [singing] to
1:59 make a man crazy, make him cold as hell.
2:02 [music]
2:04 I don't want my night you wish me well.
2:07 [music]
2:08 But I'm spotted trying. [singing]
2:10 Still going to have to find my way
2:13 through. [music]
2:19 Like the mist of morning,
2:20 [singing and music] my dream remains.
2:24 Hanging in the burnt fields of my
2:26 memory. [music]
2:29 Time is a chorus of your disdain.
2:32 [music]
2:35 Turn left behind me.
2:38 I'm searching solutions on the double
2:42 on this two-tone [singing] telephone
2:44 home. [music]
2:48 My friend says you ain't got [music] no
2:49 real troubles.
2:53 Just too [singing] many choices that you
2:54 left undone.
2:59 My friend says, "Put an action to those
3:01 words."
3:03 Put an action to those words. It'll all
3:06 come.
3:09 [music]
3:11 Oh, tell me now. Wing
3:14 never went to
3:17 [music]
3:18 make a man crazy, make him cold as hell.
3:23 [music]
3:25 I don't want my dad that you wish me
3:27 well.
3:30 But spite trying still and I have to try
3:32 my way through. [music]
3:39 Good evening good people. What is
3:41 happening? Ann Murphy in the house was
3:44 shaking.
3:49 >> [music]
3:52 >> We had a really good uh AI salon
3:54 tonight. Uh we've got the AI readiness
3:57 project podcast tomorrow. Ann and I will
4:00 be I forget who we're talking to. We're
4:01 doing two things tomorrow. We're
4:03 recording a session and doing a live
4:04 session.
4:07 So, [singing] I'm excited about that.
4:08 So, come hang without hang out with us.
4:11 That's at 400 p.m.
4:14 Mountain time. [music]
4:16 Wow.
4:24 [music]
4:29 [music]
4:31 Yeah.
4:35 [music]
4:42 >> [music]
4:50 [music]
4:57 [music]
5:06 [music]
5:09 >> Mhm. [singing]
5:13 >> [music]
5:23 >> 10,000 words swarm around my head. 10
5:27 million more in books written [singing]
5:29 beneath my bed.
5:35 I wrote or read them [singing] all when
5:37 searching in the [music] swamp. Still
5:39 can't find how to hold [singing] my
5:41 hands.
5:45 [music]
5:46 And I know [singing] you need me in the
5:49 next room over. I'm too sick to sing up
5:52 way that high. [singing]
5:55 [music]
6:00 For months I got myself
6:01 [singing and music]
6:02 in ruts. Too much time spinning mirrors
6:05 printing yellow walls.
6:06 [singing and music]
6:11 And like most people, I'm no different.
6:14 [music]
6:15 Like to talk on things we [singing]
6:16 don't know about.
6:21 Well, ain't it like most [music] people,
6:23 [singing] I'm no different. Like to talk
6:26 on things we don't know about.
6:36 >> [music]
6:43 >> So, it's funny in the world. I don't
6:46 know if you knew this, but shit's weird.
6:50 [laughter]
6:51 Has anyone noticed shit's weird?
6:55 No. No. This is just me. It's just me.
6:58 Um, [clears throat]
7:05 there's weird there's weird weird stuff
7:08 going on. There's weird scary stuff
7:10 going on. There's weird unknown stuff
7:12 going on. And then there's kind of weird
7:15 cool stuff going on. [music]
7:24 >> [music]
7:31 [music]
7:33 >> One of the things I learned about myself
7:35 in the past [music]
7:38 I learned about it in the past three
7:40 months I've been actually dealing with
7:41 it in the past month [music]
7:45 is that [music]
7:53 I had this weird I think I've talked
7:56 about it in here.
7:58 I had this self-conscious part of me. I
8:01 mean, this subconscious part of me, this
8:03 this this part of me that was incredibly
8:07 active in my
8:10 internal dialogue, [music]
8:14 but I didn't interact with it like it
8:16 was some other voice. I interacted with
8:18 it like it was reality. [snorts] Cams,
8:21 yes,
8:23 I interacted with it was like reality.
8:25 And [clears throat]
8:30 that voice
8:34 [music]
8:35 whenever I would think about
8:39 connecting with someone personally
8:41 or say inviting someone to an event I
8:45 have or a podcast or the AI salon
8:48 presents meetings
8:51 or even if it was something silly like
8:53 just sending an email. thanking someone
8:56 for something or
8:58 whatever, just sending a friend a text
9:02 to say, "Hey, do you want to get
9:03 together?" This voice in my head
9:09 was like, it was like really cool, like
9:11 a very cool character, like cooler than
9:13 me.
9:15 And that voice would just be like, "Ah,
9:17 they don't want to hear from you.
9:20 They don't want to hear from you."
9:22 And so whenever I would go to do
9:24 something like that, like do outreach,
9:28 like this is horrible for sales.
9:30 [laughter]
9:30 If you ever want to sell [ __ ] one of
9:32 the things you do in sales is you reach
9:34 out to people. [laughter]
9:37 Every time I'd think about that, that
9:38 little voice would be like, "Yeah, I
9:40 don't want to hear from you."
9:42 And I interacted with it like it was
9:44 reality. And so whenever I would want to
9:46 do that, it would be a battle. It would
9:48 be a [ __ ] battle.
9:52 And it was miserable and it was shameful
9:54 and it was gross and it was
9:59 it was in the face of all the evidence I
10:01 have in my 60 years of life that people
10:04 actually do want to hear from me.
10:07 So in the past month I've become aware
10:09 of this little voice and I'm like oh
10:12 people actually want to hear from me. So
10:14 it's it my default is still that guy but
10:19 now I can go ah okay that's that voice
10:22 and they actually want to hear from me.
10:24 So I'm working my way through it.
10:27 So, tonight on the on the AI Salon
10:30 presents, we had this woman Diamando.
10:34 Um,
10:36 and she's someone that Brandon found.
10:39 And then I think Brandon said to Andy,
10:41 "You should reach out to her." Or Kyle
10:43 should reach out to her. You whatever.
10:46 And then Andy talked to him or to her
10:49 and [music]
10:51 and then Brandon said it again. What's
10:53 What's going on? And then he said it a
10:54 third time. This is Andy told me this
10:56 tonight.
10:58 [music]
10:58 Um,
11:00 and so finally Andy was just like, "You
11:03 have to talk to this woman." I'm like,
11:04 "Okay." [laughter]
11:06 And so I talked to her and she was
11:07 awesome. She's an ex actress and and
11:10 she's doing remarkable stuff in the
11:12 world. And so anyway, so really really
11:14 dug her and so we scheduled her to speak
11:16 tonight. So she spoke tonight
11:20 and last week on this live
11:23 we stumbled into we meandered our way
11:25 into this thing called the great
11:27 repurpose. This this whatever the [ __ ]
11:30 it is. I don't even know what it is
11:31 right now. It's an idea. It's an idea
11:34 that we're we are collectively entering
11:38 a crisis of meaning
11:41 where because in America we've got our
11:43 our self-worth so tied to our work that
11:46 as our work gets [ __ ] up because of
11:48 AI, it's going to destroy our
11:50 self-esteem like on mass. Not all of us,
11:53 but like huge percentages of people are
11:55 going to be lost and purposeless. And so
11:57 the great repurpose is this idea that
12:00 you can if you can see that if you can
12:03 name it then you can start to look at it
12:06 in yourself and say do I have that do I
12:09 have my personal selfworth too deeply
12:12 tied to what I do and if you do that's
12:17 something to start working on now.
12:21 So, she comes tonight and and I sort of
12:24 present like a a really short version of
12:27 what I just said with a visual and then
12:30 I'm like, "And now here's Diamando and
12:32 she's going to show us the cool [ __ ]
12:33 she's working on." And she was like,
12:36 "Um, so [laughter] you you came up with
12:38 this thing just now that is the thing
12:41 that's been my life's work for like 10
12:42 years. And the thing I'm going to demo
12:44 tonight is we're going to take someone
12:47 through this custom GPT I built for them
12:51 to discover their purpose. [laughter]
12:53 It's like it was like had had she spoken
12:57 a week earlier, it wouldn't have been as
13:00 impactful. Like I I just like the world
13:05 is weirdly wonderful where like all the
13:08 [ __ ] that you think [music] is all
13:10 [ __ ] up.
13:15 [music]
13:17 It was all perfect. Like the timing was
13:20 actually perfect that she showed up
13:22 tonight. the week, you know, Sunday I
13:26 dropped the great repurpose, you know,
13:28 publicly
13:30 and it resonated with a lot of [music]
13:32 people. A lot of people are into it. And
13:33 then she shows up and she's got she
13:36 spent like an hour and no, she spent
13:37 like an hour and a half taking this
13:40 woman who'd never been to an AI salon
13:42 meeting before.
13:45 Um, I think her name was it Sally? I
13:47 think it was Sally. Is it Sally? Anyway,
13:52 it was her first day. salon meeting. Oh,
13:54 Sarah was Sarah.
13:59 And she was kind of timid and she was
14:00 like, "I'll go." Like, you know, she we
14:02 were looking for volunteers and we
14:03 didn't want someone who had been up
14:04 before.
14:06 And it was just beautiful. It was just
14:07 this amazing thing. And so, and at the
14:10 at toward the end, um, Diamando took us
14:13 through
14:14 um a visualization. It was really
14:16 beautiful visualization and it had to do
14:18 with getting in touch with your
14:19 intuition and
14:22 what you want. [clears throat] And I had
14:23 a I had a really cool I had a really
14:26 cool vision and and the vision was um
14:31 I was in a room that was kind of like a
14:33 cross between a networking event and a
14:35 party, but people were like
14:38 authentically glad to be there. They
14:40 weren't there because they had to be
14:41 like they were there because they wanted
14:42 to be.
14:44 And there was like this weird joy in the
14:47 air. And the joy was about
14:54 them having revelations about their own
14:56 purpose.
14:59 And then it hit me, what if so, you
15:02 know, on this channel, how many folks
15:04 are here? Oh, this is all this is all
15:05 insiders for the most part.
15:11 Free from desire, you realize the
15:13 mystery. caught in desire, you only have
15:15 the manifestations. Yeah.
15:17 So, in this in this visualization, I'm
15:19 in this room with all these people.
15:21 There's all this joy. There's like just
15:22 genuine connection and joy.
15:26 And one of the things that I've talked a
15:29 lot about on this channel is Kevin
15:31 Mallister moments. That moment in AI
15:34 where you're just like, [laughter]
15:36 "Oh my god."
15:38 Right?
15:41 And as I was watching her work with
15:45 Sarah tonight and work through this GPT
15:47 and and watch, you could see the like
15:49 the light bulbs going off and Sarah's
15:51 visualization was that she literally had
15:53 had a desk lamp in her and she kept
15:55 turning it on and off. She she was
15:57 turning herself on and off. You could
15:59 kind of see you could see her sort of,
16:02 you know, retreating and then coming
16:04 forward and retreating and coming
16:05 forward. You could see it in in her as
16:06 it was going through.
16:10 And I thought, imagine a community
16:15 where we not only have aha moments about
16:18 AI. Holy [ __ ] I didn't know it could do
16:21 that. But we also have Kevin Mallister
16:23 moments about who we are. that we
16:27 discover something about oursel or we
16:29 discover something about
16:34 what we really want to do
16:37 that is like holy [ __ ]
16:41 I didn't know I wanted to be that
16:43 [laughter]
16:44 like oh my god
16:46 that's why I've been miserable I've
16:48 wanted to be that
16:52 [music]
16:53 and what struck me tonight is that's the
16:56 [ __ ] community we're building.
16:58 [music]
17:04 [music] And it's it's even there's a
17:06 there's a weird thing about there's a
17:08 weird thing that I have about
17:11 judgment against myself that you know
17:14 when we do AI salon
17:17 presents meetings. They're only once a
17:19 month and we have a lot of members in
17:21 the community but the those meetings are
17:23 relatively small. They're not they're
17:24 not big, right? They're not hundreds or
17:27 thousands of people. They're they're
17:28 small. They're intimate. [snorts] And
17:32 [clears throat]
17:34 I used to shame myself for that. And
17:36 then I just said, "Oh, [ __ ] it. Just
17:38 keep doing the work." And as I was
17:41 watching it tonight,
17:44 I was like,
17:46 it was it was a room full of people, a
17:49 lot like the people on this channel,
17:50 quite frankly, and probably fair amount
17:53 of you were probably there, too. Um
17:55 [snorts]
17:57 it was a room full of people
18:00 many of whom were already doing this
18:02 kind of work self-exloratory work daily
18:05 practice kind of stuff or at least
18:09 have been in the conversations
18:12 right so if something like what what
18:15 happened tonight happened with a bigger
18:16 audience like it might land like what is
18:18 this weird [ __ ] thing? [laughter] Why
18:21 are they trying to discover their
18:22 purpose?
18:25 So, like what struck me tonight was
18:29 the thing that I've been lost
18:33 about with
18:36 whatever I want to do in AI
18:40 is all starting to come into focus. And
18:47 [sighs]
18:51 we're all sort of practicing
18:55 and not like daily practice. We're all
18:57 like we're all practicing what it's
19:00 going to be like
19:02 to be in this new future before it gets
19:05 here.
19:06 Like we're all time traveling.
19:10 I know this sounds [ __ ] weird. And if
19:12 you're new here, welcome. My name is
19:13 Kyle Shannon. This is the AI learning
19:14 lab. And now we're talking about living
19:16 in the future or we're time travelers
19:18 from the future, living now.
19:24 And what what we're actively doing is
19:27 we're trying to figure out now
19:32 what it's going to be like to live in
19:35 the future
19:39 because everything's about to shift.
19:42 Everything's about to transform.
19:46 [clears throat]
19:47 Work as we know it is not going to be
19:48 that. Tasks as we know it. I mean, the
19:51 tasks will still be there. We just won't
19:53 be doing them.
19:58 And those people that find their
20:00 purpose, those people that have ideas,
20:04 those people that can stay connected to
20:06 who they are and their passions and
20:08 their motivations and their being,
20:13 those people
20:15 are going to do remarkable [ __ ]
20:17 things in the world.
20:21 And I can't imagine something more
20:24 challenging than being in touch with who
20:26 you are [laughter]
20:28 and having everything change around you
20:31 and like maintain it through that chaos.
20:34 [snorts]
20:35 And that's what the world is about to
20:36 experience. This isn't just the US. I
20:38 think it's going to be worse in the US
20:40 because we equate work with worth here
20:42 more than they do elsewhere. But I think
20:44 this is going to be a global phenomenon
20:48 and people's
20:53 This is such an insidious, subtle,
20:57 weirdass problem.
21:00 [snorts] Like even people that keep
21:01 their jobs. I just saw a post on this
21:03 today with engineers.
21:07 Engineers right now are going through
21:09 this weird crisis
21:12 where they still have their jobs. People
21:14 need engineers,
21:16 but they're not coding anymore.
21:20 So if you're an engineer and you love to
21:22 code
21:24 and you're working for this company and
21:26 you love to code, you love solving the
21:29 problem, you love creating the
21:31 structure, you love whatever the thing
21:32 is that gets you
21:35 gives you a stiffy about coding.
21:42 All of those tasks are automated. Now
21:45 the AI writes all the code. Your job is
21:48 now you're a supervisor.
21:51 Congratulations. You've been promoted.
21:53 You're now a manager.
21:56 What?
21:58 No. I'm a coder. No. No. We've got
22:00 machines for that now. You just manage
22:02 the machine. I I don't want to manage
22:05 the machine. I'm going to code. I'm a
22:07 coder. That's what I do. It's who I am.
22:11 Yeah. We don't need That's just
22:14 like take your knowledge. Do the thing.
22:17 be the manager.
22:20 Like that's happening right now.
22:23 It's going to happen in every [ __ ]
22:25 job. Every [ __ ] job.
22:30 How do people navigate out of that? I
22:32 don't know. But what I know is that's
22:35 what this community is preparing
22:37 ourselves to know how to do. We're going
22:40 to be able to guide people through this.
22:44 And I know this sounds [ __ ] weird.
22:49 [laughter]
22:53 [music]
23:02 The time is now.
23:05 Yes, time travel. Cindy Coon's here. I
23:08 don't know if you knew this. Cindy [ __ ]
23:09 is a futurist
23:13 and even in her world of futurists,
23:16 one of her revelations
23:18 is that she's in a different future than
23:22 them.
23:24 She's in future 2.0. Andy Scarantino
23:28 just created 1 point or human 2.0. Like
23:31 there's there are a lot of time
23:33 travelers in here. [laughter]
23:42 What's the typo? Um, Brandon, wait. I
23:45 gotta see what the typo was.
23:46 >> No, they No, you I deleted it. It
23:50 >> was it bad.
23:51 >> Stop sampling the merchandise from the
23:53 bar that we're going to open. [laughter]
23:57 >> Brandon Brandon is is drunk commenting
23:59 again. Um, [music]
24:02 yeah. Cindy Cindy realized all the
24:05 people that were talking about futures
24:08 were talking about a timeline that she
24:11 wasn't on.
24:14 I know this sounds [ __ ] weird. It's
24:17 not. Well, okay, it is.
24:21 [laughter]
24:25 And
24:30 The the thing about it is this
24:34 [music]
24:37 this community, the AI salon and and and
24:40 the AI learning lab, [snorts]
24:45 we're choosing to be in this
24:47 conversation,
24:49 right? What have I said for years? I
24:52 don't I don't like I'm an optimist, but
24:55 AI is neither good nor bad. AI is just
24:57 AI. The only thing I know is it's not
25:00 going away.
25:03 And that my commitment to myself is I'm
25:07 going to [ __ ] be in the conversation.
25:11 I know this is going to change
25:12 everything. I don't know how. I don't
25:14 know what it looks like. Like I know
25:16 more now,
25:18 but I'm going to be in the [ __ ]
25:19 conversation. And so I go on these I go
25:22 on this stupid [ __ ] Chinese now half
25:24 American app and I go on this YouTube
25:27 thing
25:29 and I talk like a [ __ ] idiot for two
25:32 hours
25:34 and I deep down I don't actually know
25:38 why, right? Other than I know I need to
25:42 be in the conversation. I know I need to
25:44 be in the conversation. And even weirder
25:46 than me doing this is you guys [ __ ]
25:48 showing up.
25:50 [laughter]
25:55 Why?
25:56 Sure, maybe I'm entertaining. I've got a
25:58 cute dog. I've got a master toup pay
26:01 situation. It's really impressive.
26:07 Why?
26:10 I don't know. Because I assume you think
26:13 you need to be in the conversation, too.
26:15 Why do we need to be in the
26:16 conversation? Because
26:19 what we're about to experience in 2026
26:21 is the beginning
26:25 of the disruption.
26:27 all these agents, all this Claudebot,
26:29 Moltbot [ __ ]
26:32 uh, molt book, all that stuff.
26:36 That's just like a little open-source
26:38 project
26:39 that someone figured something out that
26:42 people are losing their minds over.
26:43 We're all like, "What are the agents
26:45 doing? They're they've created their own
26:48 religion." Okay.
26:51 Right. Is this Terminator? It seems a
26:55 little cuter than that, but okay.
26:58 It's Skynet, but with lobsters. All
27:00 right,
27:03 that's the beginning of
27:06 It's going to be clear that we we don't
27:08 know what's coming. And it's going to be
27:11 clear that these machines are going to
27:12 start doing things far beyond what what
27:15 we're capable of keeping up with.
27:20 and it's going to start
27:23 costing jobs and costing businesses and
27:25 costing industries
27:28 now. Something will emerge out the other
27:30 side,
27:32 but it's the next five years
27:36 that are the [ __ ] problem, right? As
27:39 all these jobs get disrupted and even
27:42 existing jobs, people keeping their jobs
27:44 but losing their purpose
27:48 is going to be this crisis and there and
27:51 and there are guides are needed.
27:55 Check your iPhone cable. What about it?
27:59 What's happening?
28:07 It's reconnecting to power. Oh.
28:11 Oh. Chime. Chime. Chime. Oh, that's
28:13 weird.
28:14 Oh, yeah. Look at that.
28:17 Never saw it vibrate like that before.
28:19 Even my phone is freaking out. It keeps
28:23 dinging.
28:25 Kyle, it sounds like you need a new
28:26 charging cable.
28:28 Am [laughter] I the only one hearing
28:30 that?
28:32 I'm giving this deep philosophical thing
28:33 and people are like, "Could you stop his
28:36 phone from making the beep beeps?
28:38 [laughter]
28:43 [laughter]
28:44 I thought it was mine." That's really
28:47 funny.
28:50 [music]
28:55 There's there's also this weird thing
28:57 where like I feel like [sighs]
29:08 we're going to need to figure out how to
29:09 do it. We're going to need to figure out
29:11 how to attract people that trying to
29:12 figure this [ __ ] out. We're going to
29:14 guide them through the
29:17 [ __ ] gauntlet
29:21 to rediscover their purpose. Then
29:23 they're going to go off into the world.
29:24 But
29:26 we're not going to be the only community
29:27 doing that. There's going to be lots of
29:29 communities doing that.
29:34 There's like all these people that have
29:35 hung up hung their shingles for
29:37 coaching.
29:40 They're like, "Well, what are they
29:41 coaching? They're coaching business.
29:43 they're coaching this, they're coaching
29:44 sales. That it all sounds like [ __ ]
29:47 right? Those who can't do coach. But
29:49 wait,
29:51 amongst that group, there's a subset of
29:53 that group that are AI literate, that
29:55 understand what's coming, that are
29:56 living in the future, too.
29:59 And they've got the skills to know how
30:01 to coach. They got the skills to help
30:04 people understand where they are in life
30:06 right now, how they are in life right
30:08 now.
30:09 Holy [ __ ] If I don't get my self-worth
30:12 decoupled from my job,
30:16 this is going to be ugly, right? And if
30:18 I can do that before my job changes and
30:21 I can discover who I am and what I want
30:23 and start to get up to speed on whatever
30:26 the [ __ ] this AI thing is.
30:30 Maybe I can navigate my way through
30:31 this. Hold, please. What do you want,
30:33 Jim? What are you doing? Come on. Come
30:36 with me. You want to go out?
30:45 You're too noisy and you're making food
30:47 and he knows you got cheese.
30:52 [music]
30:58 >> [music]
31:07 >> Is it just my eye infection
31:10 [music]
31:11 or am I making sense?
31:15 [music] It's still chiming, by the way.
31:18 Oh, you know what? I bet that is
31:22 I know what it is.
31:24 It's Discord.
31:32 Definitely computer cable. Is it not
31:35 doing it now? Well, I just quit Discord.
31:38 [music]
31:43 [music]
31:46 Oh, my my laptop power. Oh, there we go.
31:51 My laptop power was not lit up. Bet
31:53 that's what it was. [music]
32:02 >> [laughter]
32:03 >> I love I'm a I'm Listen, I'm talking
32:07 about we're time travelers from the
32:10 future, people, and you're worried about
32:12 my chord management skills.
32:18 It's perfect. You're exactly where you
32:20 should be. That is the conversation you
32:22 should absolutely be in. [laughter]
32:28 >> [music]
32:29 [laughter]
32:33 >> Oh my god. Oh, my eye.
32:37 It's okay. I got drops. I'm going to be
32:39 fine. I just have crusty eye.
32:43 I'm sure it's fine.
32:46 I'm sure everything's going to be just
32:47 peachy.
32:50 Everybody good with the dinging now? Can
32:53 Can we move on? and talk about the
32:55 future.
32:57 [laughter]
32:59 [music]
33:07 The the digging is in the past. See, I
33:10 was in the future.
33:12 That was the problem. I was in the
33:14 future. You were all stuck in the
33:16 present. Join me
33:18 up there.
33:20 By the way, I realized for me, I thought
33:23 the future was to the right and then I
33:26 thought the future was in front of me.
33:28 And what I've actually realized is that
33:30 the future for me is at a 45 degree
33:33 angle that way.
33:36 That's the f that's where I was. And you
33:39 were back here in the [ __ ] your
33:41 cord's not connected right. You probably
33:44 have some metallic dust on your Mag Safe
33:47 connector. It's probably created some
33:48 sort of electrical shut up. I'm in the
33:51 future.
33:54 Good lord. [music]
33:56 How's my hair? [laughter]
34:01 Not my future.
34:05 Um, anyway,
34:07 I thought like the the amount of
34:09 synchronicity tonight was really cool.
34:11 The amount of synchronicity in the past
34:13 month has been kind of crazy.
34:16 >> [music]
34:24 [music]
34:26 >> Why does it take us 60 years to figure
34:29 [ __ ] out? [music]
34:31 Do you know
34:33 one of the things I feel really lucky
34:35 about in my life
34:37 is I've gone through these phases where
34:39 I've had these revelations.
34:44 [music]
34:45 I think about my mom
34:47 and my grandmother
34:50 and both of them went their whole life
34:54 [music]
34:56 and never had
34:59 [music]
35:00 these kind of breakthroughs.
35:04 The thing they got stuck at at
35:08 7 or 12 or 14 or whatever it was that
35:10 the stuck started.
35:13 You know, we're all stuck, right? Hey,
35:14 we all get stuck at some point in our
35:16 childhood, usually five or six. We
35:18 realize the world's dangerous.
35:21 Someone tells us we're a piece of [ __ ]
35:22 in so many words, we believe it.
35:26 And you and then you start your life and
35:28 then you realize at some point, ah, my
35:30 life's all [ __ ] up. And if you do the
35:33 work, you realize, oh, my life's [ __ ]
35:35 up because as a 5-year-old, I did it
35:37 just beep again?
35:41 Did it just beep again?
35:47 I wrote you a song about it tonight in
35:49 the array. In the args, you wrote me a
35:50 song about what? My cable management.
36:00 My mom used to tell this story about
36:02 this gym match that she was performing
36:06 at
36:07 and her mom promised her she would be
36:09 there and her mom was a drunk [music]
36:15 and her mom never showed.
36:19 [music]
36:21 That's all my mom talked about. [music]
36:27 I mean, that's all she talked about,
36:30 but she never moved past it.
36:34 My grandmother never moved past
36:37 these things that happened in her
36:38 childhood. So, I feel
36:41 I feel really lucky to to be living a
36:44 life.
36:48 [ __ ] I mean, I I feel lucky on so many
36:51 levels. Like I got to be there when the
36:53 personal computer
36:56 was invented. I was alive. I was using
37:00 personal computers in seventh grade.
37:04 I got to be there at the early days of
37:06 the worldwide web. I got to be there at
37:08 the early days of Chat GPT.
37:12 These are remarkable moments in history.
37:14 Like remarkable moments in history. And
37:18 on that journey, I've had these phases
37:21 in my life where I've had awakenings and
37:24 awareness and transformations. And I'm
37:26 in the middle of one right now.
37:31 And I just so many people go through
37:33 their life and they never have that. And
37:36 I think that AI,
37:44 this is gonna suck for a lot of people,
37:46 but AI is going to force people to
37:50 confront who they really are.
37:55 And I think that this conversation
37:58 is about us practicing
38:04 how to be in the new world.
38:07 I [ __ ] I [ __ ] s I'm I'm like
38:10 hearing the words coming out of my
38:12 mouth. I'm like,
38:17 but I think that's what's going on. I
38:19 really do.
38:25 If if you haven't, um we we'll put the
38:28 recording of tonight's AI salon up in
38:30 the in the salon.
38:34 You should watch it if you didn't. If
38:35 you weren't there tonight, you should
38:36 watch it.
38:43 And you just get to watch Diamando was
38:46 um
38:51 first of all, she's just like a a very
38:53 bright human being. She's got a great
38:54 smile.
38:57 She's smart. She's grounded. She's
38:59 present.
39:04 Being in the presence of present people
39:07 is amazing. One of the reasons I like
39:09 New York City
39:13 is that you kind of have to be present
39:16 to live there.
39:18 You don't find a lot of people that are
39:20 checked out in New York City cuz you
39:21 really can't be.
39:25 And so she has that thing. You know when
39:27 you're with people and you're just like,
39:29 "Oh, okay. All right. Okay, I'm gonna
39:32 have to pay attention here. All right,
39:34 got it. Got it. All right, let me sit
39:37 up. [laughter]
39:39 Oh [ __ ] Right.
39:43 So, she had that and then you're just
39:46 watching her. Oh, she she did this
39:49 amazing thing at the at the beginning of
39:51 when she was going to do this this
39:52 coaching or this I don't even know what
39:55 it was. It wasn't coaching. It was it
39:56 was more like she was she was guiding
39:58 someone through a conversation but
40:01 mediated with chat GPT. This custom GPT
40:03 she wrote
40:06 and she had very good coaching language.
40:08 She she said to to Sarah, the woman she
40:11 was doing this with, she goes, "I invite
40:14 you. I'm going to be sharing my screen
40:16 and I'm going to be sharing my screen of
40:18 the chat GPT that I made so that you can
40:21 all see what's happening." She goes, "I
40:24 invite you to not look at that, but to
40:26 look at me."
40:30 I thought that was really beautiful cuz
40:32 that like I would have [ __ ] looked at
40:34 the chat GBT.
40:38 That happens at least once a week. What
40:40 happens at least once a week? No. No
40:42 beeps.
40:46 And so, and so what this evening was was
40:49 just these two women, one guiding,
40:54 one
40:56 like kind of generously being willing to
41:00 be guided.
41:02 It was her first salon event. She goes,
41:06 "Well, I'll never forget this group or
41:07 I'll never forget this event."
41:10 And it was like it was like an hour and
41:12 a half of of just you know her being
41:16 kind of actually like kind of peeling
41:18 herself like an onion
41:21 [clears throat] and discovering things
41:22 about herself and what she wants and how
41:24 she wants to work. [music]
41:42 >> [music]
41:43 >> If you've not joined the the the
41:46 mastermind practice
41:48 and the practice lab, you should.
41:52 [snorts] You should.
41:57 I got a cool text from Cindy [ __ ]
42:00 It was like here here was my
42:02 visualization. What was yours?
42:05 It's like [laughter]
42:10 it was like the people that were
42:12 watching
42:13 weren't watching. It's like this. It's
42:16 like this channel. I mean, Cindy Cindy's
42:18 told me this before.
42:26 Um,
42:30 Cindy's told me that
42:36 [snorts] I remember that I she I think
42:38 she called me
42:41 she called me the next day after one of
42:43 these AI learning labs and she goes,
42:44 "Kyle, do you have any idea what's going
42:46 on in your lives?" I was like, "Oh [ __ ]
42:48 no. [laughter]
42:50 Is there hanky banky? What's happening?
42:53 Is there groping? Do we need to call HR?
42:56 [laughter]
42:58 She goes, "It's not about you. They're
43:00 not watching you. It's not about you."
43:05 Like, they're we're all
43:08 [ __ ] supporting one another and
43:11 welcoming new people in.
43:14 We're trying to figure this [ __ ] out as
43:16 we get it figured out. We're telling
43:17 people who you are. We're telling people
43:19 what's going on. But it doesn't [ __ ]
43:21 matter. It's about all this. It's about
43:22 all this connection.
43:26 That's what this channel is about.
43:28 And so the fact that we don't have great
43:30 numbers,
43:32 like high numbers,
43:34 used to bug me, doesn't bug me right
43:37 now.
43:41 [music]
43:54 >> [music]
43:58 [music]
44:02 >> It's about the conversation.
44:06 So, here's what I'm excited about. I
44:08 mean, are you ever going to Are we
44:10 talking about AI tonight?
44:13 [clears throat] No,
44:15 we're not.
44:21 what I want to do,
44:25 what I'm gonna figure out how to do
44:31 with the help of a lot of remarkable
44:34 people in this community
44:37 is we are going to figure out how to
44:41 make
44:43 this invisible crisis visible.
44:47 And then we're going to figure out ways
44:51 once someone can see that this is a
44:54 crisis,
44:56 we're going to make it fun and inspiring
44:59 and engaging and tangible for them to
45:02 navigate out of this thing. Navigate out
45:06 of the world we're in right now into
45:08 whatever this new future is.
45:15 Like I love solving problems. I love
45:18 solving problems. I love looking at
45:19 stuff. I like going, "Oh, here's how you
45:21 connect the parts. Here's how you do the
45:22 thing. Here's
45:25 here's how we make money. Wish I were
45:27 better at that part. I'm getting better
45:28 at that part. Going to get great at that
45:30 part." [laughter]
45:36 But this is a meaty [ __ ] problem
45:38 because it's not meaty. It's very
45:41 esoteric and it's very subtle.
45:47 And even smart enlightened people who
45:49 can synthesize things and come from the
45:51 future
45:53 are missing parts of this because it's
45:56 so subtle.
45:58 I experienced that this week.
46:02 [music]
46:08 All right, that's all you get from me
46:10 tonight.
46:13 I'm not showing you [ __ ]
46:17 You just get waxing poetic and an
46:19 occasional guitar chord. [music]
46:23 Good with that.
46:26 Oh, yeah. I was I was on um I was
46:30 interviewed I think I talked about this,
46:32 but if you go what's it called? AI
46:34 what's his podcast called? If you go to
46:36 YouTube, AI explored
46:41 AI explored
46:44 with Michael Cel Stellner Stellner.
46:49 [snorts]
46:51 It's in irregulars, but you can also
46:53 here, let me share my screen
47:01 here. Here, I'll play the little promo
47:03 for it because actually his his editing
47:05 work on this is actually really good.
47:06 The little promo is great at the
47:08 beginning.
47:22 >> I don't have your screen yet.
47:24 >> I know. That's because I didn't share
47:25 it. [laughter]
47:29 Shut up. Shut up, producer Brandon. I
47:32 know how to work a computer.
47:34 The machine. I know how to work the
47:36 machine.
47:38 Okay.
47:39 >> People say that it's AI versus humans,
47:41 but is that really true?
47:42 >> It was this sense of highly empowered
47:46 self-expression. I think it's a big
47:48 negative trope of AI is that it's us
47:51 against AI. Probably a year and a half
47:54 ago, generative AI got smarter than me.
47:57 I already know that that's a losing
47:59 battle for me personally. But there's
48:00 another way to think about it. Rather
48:02 than putting AI in front of you like
48:03 this thing you're competing against,
48:04 what I like to do is sort of put it
48:06 behind me, kind of like a a jetpack. If
48:09 you're limited skills were no longer an
48:12 impediment to you, what would you choose
48:14 to do? That's the world we're actually
48:16 in.
48:17 >> I think what I hear you say is, "Hey
48:19 everybody, you got to give yourself
48:20 permission to play if you want to be AI
48:23 ready.
48:24 >> Lose the expectations."
48:25 >> Explain that.
48:29 My special guest is an AI.
48:31 >> I'm a special guest. [laughter]
48:36 Michael Stellner is an icon. Uh he was
48:39 great. He was really great. He um he
48:41 took the time to do a pre-in.
48:43 What was cool about him is I don't know
48:46 if you know this, but I talk a lot. And
48:48 uh he interviewed me and he goes, "Well,
48:51 you know, what can you talk about?" I'm
48:52 like, "I can talk about this. I can talk
48:53 about that and I can talk about this. I
48:54 He" He goes, "Wait, wait. Stop. Stop.
48:55 Stop. Stop. stop. He goes, "I know some
48:58 live streamers. I know you can talk for
49:00 a while." And he goes, "Go back to that
49:02 AI readiness thing. What's that?" And so
49:04 he actually he actually slowed me down
49:08 and said, "That thing looks interesting
49:10 to me." So he's the one that architected
49:12 this whole conversation. And it's a very
49:14 it's a very well architected
49:16 conversation. And he really took the
49:17 time to give me the the structure that
49:21 he was going to walk through. and he
49:23 reminded me, "When you were talking
49:25 about this, you told this story, and
49:27 when you were talking about this, you
49:28 told that story." It was really good.
49:30 So, anyway, all right, I'm gonna get out
49:33 of here. Um, but yeah, go check that
49:35 out. Uh, I think it's a good interview.
49:36 I think it's worth your time. And in
49:38 fact, it's it's all about the AI salon.
49:41 This interview was pre um um
49:46 the great repurpose,
49:50 but it's it t like a lot of the stuff in
49:53 this is the great repurpose. It's just
49:56 it's just talking about it in the cycle
49:58 of AI readiness.
50:00 Um Dr. J's song before you go. We could
50:03 do that. We can absolutely do that.
50:06 Where's the AI salon?
50:09 There it is. Let's get rid of this.
50:13 Let's go into
50:20 [singing]
50:22 Cy. [laughter]
50:25 What is What are all those that all
50:27 Corey Sandler singing to herself?
50:33 All right. Things were swirling. This
50:35 was a good swirling night. Kyle Shannon
50:38 post meeting summary. That's pretty
50:41 funny. Things were swirling tonight.
50:44 [cough]
50:44 [clears throat]
50:46 Oh, I thought I shared. Okay, here we
50:48 go. Something went wrong. An error
50:50 occurred.
50:52 Uh, where's my tab? Let's see.
51:01 Please refresh the page.
51:08 All right, here's a good swirling night.
51:12 All right.
51:26 >> The clocks forot how to keep their time.
51:29 Street lights in half. Every
51:32 conversation lands just right like the
51:35 room itself is breathing lighting
51:37 [singing]
51:38 into place. Every almost finds it.
51:46 >> Did you feel [music] it too or was it
51:47 just me? That quiet click of
51:50 inevitability.
51:53 Things were swirling. This was a good
51:55 swirling night. Not chaos, not noise,
51:58 just alignment [music] and flight. very
51:59 small maybe [singing] turned solid and
52:01 true like the world leaned [music]
52:03 closer and whispered it's you.
52:06 Yeah, things were swirling [music]
52:09 and somehow [singing] I knew this been
52:12 out of purpose. This timing was true.
52:16 [music]
52:21 >> [music]
52:23 [singing]
52:26 >> Ideas collide, [music] but they don't
52:28 collide hard. They interlock like a
52:30 shuffle deck of cards. [singing] You say
52:32 a [music] word, I was thinking first. No
52:34 hunger here, just a shared thirst. Every
52:37 detour proves [singing] the plans like
52:39 following a map drawn by [music] divine
52:41 hands. Not luck, not chance, not random
52:44 grace, just patterns finally [singing]
52:46 showing their [music] face.
52:50 Things were swirling. This was a good
52:52 swelling. Night threads ting themselves
52:54 in the soft candle light. [music]
52:56 Nothing forced. Nothing pushed or
52:57 chased. Just the right thoughts moving
53:00 at the right [singing] pace. [music]
53:03 Yeah. Things were swirling
53:06 and it felt sincere [music]
53:08 like the future leaned in [singing] and
53:10 said, "Stay right here. [music]
53:16 Synergy
53:19 [music]
53:23 [singing]
53:24 in the way we speak. Synchronicity in
53:27 the thoughts we keep. Every signal clean
53:29 and sharp. [singing] Every answer
53:31 arriving when it's needed. Light in the
53:34 dark. No rush. No proving no fight. Just
53:36 gravity doing what it does when it's
53:39 right.
53:42 If you blink, you might miss a sign.
53:45 >> [music]
53:46 >> But tonight it's writing itself in the
53:50 online.
53:54 Things [singing] were swirling. [music]
53:56 This was a good swirling night where
53:58 meaning showed up without putting up
54:00 [singing] a fight. Every coincidence
54:01 [music]
54:02 finally confessed it was intention.
54:04 Finally being addressed.
54:08 Yeah. Things were swirling, [music]
54:11 steady and bright,
54:13 not spinning out, just spiring right.
54:19 So [singing] let it move, [music]
54:21 let it unfold.
54:24 [singing] Some nights are meant to be
54:26 noticed, not control. [music]
54:30 Things were [singing] sw
54:35 >> [music]
54:38 >> Yeah, this was a good swirling night.

54:52 it. I like it. All right, people. I'm
54:55 going to get out of here. Have a good
54:56 night.
54:58 um stay in this conversation uh and we
55:01 can uh figure out how to guide people
55:04 into the future.
55:06 I guess we're time travelers now. God
55:08 damn it.
55:10 I didn't want to be the sci-fi movie.
55:13 [laughter]
55:14 I just wanted to watch it.
55:20 Good
55:22 >> [laughter]
