251. 1:02:24people watching. Made live on the AI learning lab
252. 1:02:39Friday night date night alright if you want to go to Twitter and boost that
253. 1:02:55that'd be swell or not don't really matter okay we're done we did a thing that was exciting how's my hair oh

255. 1:03:24some comments in this live were filtered to protect the community's experience it's the Kyle loop hair it's pretty crazy
256. 1:03:37I gotta get a haircut this weekend I'm going away next week by the way next week's gonna be all fucked up schedule wise so just prepare
257. 1:03:46prepare yourselves come up with some shit to do like start a Claudebot thing I think my weekend will be
258. 1:04:00filled with learning Claude code yeah there's Claude code there's Claude bots there's OpenClaw there's all these standalone versions
259. 1:04:13and uploaded versions and serviced versions and hosted versions I don't think any of it much matters at some point
260. 1:04:26something's going to come out that's just going to be really good and you're not going to have to do much to be good at it except
261. 1:04:32what you're going to have to be good at is understanding what you want and that's actually going to be hard that's going to be hard
262. 1:04:44it's going to be hard I'll tell you mm-hmm yep yes it is yes it is it's gonna be a little difficult um weekend homework week and
263. 1:04:57homework all right i'm gonna i'm gonna show y'all something we're gonna talk about something
264. 1:05:14It's actually important. Is this it?
265. 1:05:37Are there fucking ads in my chat GPT? Oh, no, that's weekly AI briefing. I somehow got in the wrong chat.
266. 1:05:51Okay, here we are. Jesus. Hang on, share this tab instead. Got it. Okay. We're people watching. I wish I could play.
267. 1:06:10Oh, I know what I can do. You'll be able to hear this because I'm not playing it in.
268. 1:06:26Oh, no, you can't hear it because I'm sharing a tab. But here's what I can do. Wait, hold it. Everybody calm down.
269. 1:06:34Brandon is so rammy tonight. He's got me all anxious. Okay. There we go. so we'll put our new song on in the background we'll turn it down
270. 1:06:46didn't get enough cheese all right so can you hear a little bit of the music and you can hear me does that sound okay
271. 1:07:03i was at the future food tech summit and i have so much to tell you about the state of ai
272. 1:07:09in our food system. It's going to be terrifying. I watched Sabrina working on some magic on Claude
273. 1:07:15Code. Very cool. I'm here back from San Francisco. Did you miss me? Yes, we missed you.
274. 1:07:23When you become an irregular, when you leave, you get noticed. Suzanne Walker-Jergen says hello. Awesome. She's the best.
275. 1:07:33black bar pork for war okay we're black bar okay okay so here's what I
276. 1:07:49here's what I want you to do this weekend if you want to take on some homework I can't do this with the music playing it's distracting me
277. 1:08:01i know i know i'm the one that said let's get some music going okay
278. 1:08:06i think this is important if you're here i think this is a good thing vicky baptiste
279. 1:08:16what's happening i did the same sabrina magic and manis oh that's so cool okay
280. 1:08:25if any of you are out there trying to market your stuff and i know a lot of you are and i am
281. 1:08:34we're all trying to market our stuff oh you said hi at the start i missed it um welcome welcome
282. 1:08:41welcome. Okay. We have entered an era that this is not obvious yet, but we have entered this era.
283. 1:08:56We have entered an era where if you talk about your stuff, no one will care.
284. 1:09:06Now, here's what I mean. What do I mean if you talk about your stuff? If you talk about your
285. 1:09:10skills, your experience, the bullet points of what you're going to do for someone, the benefits of
286. 1:09:18what they're going to get out of it. If you talk about your workshop, if you talk about
287. 1:09:23your book, if you talk about the software you just made and the awesome things it can do, any of the talking about the thing,
288. 1:09:34everyone's going to have a thing and everyone's going to copy everyone else's thing. And if you
289. 1:09:42somehow manage to talk about your thing in a way that it rises above the noise, everyone will copy
290. 1:09:47it. Okay. And that's just the way it's going to be. And here's the secret.
291. 1:09:59If you know that early, we can figure out, well, what will they listen to? What will they pay attention to? And here's what I think it is.
292. 1:10:16It's you. So I was having a conversation with this guy named Jerry Mikulski. He's a really good friend of mine, very incredibly smart guy.
293. 1:10:33And he and I are sort of being accountability buddies around getting speaking gigs and things like that.
294. 1:10:45Actually, Chef Kelly, if you want, you can pop up on stage here on, you can pop up on stage on, what's it called, StreamYard,
295. 1:10:55If you reach out to producer Brandon or on TikTok, if you're over there, if you want to do that, you can tell us about all the crazy AI shit in our food system or lack thereof, I'm assuming.
296. 1:11:08But it'll be interesting to hear. So Jerry had this really amazing sort of personal statement sentence that he wrote.
297. 1:11:20And in this personal sentence, statement sentence, were like words that he had made up, things that he had created.
298. 1:11:28And there were also like phrases that sounded like English, but you didn't really know what they meant.
299. 1:11:35And Jerry started explaining what each of these words meant and why he crafted this sentence the way he did. He was very proud of it.
300. 1:11:44It was this very well-constructed thing that articulated all of who he was in some weird kind of way.
301. 1:11:54And as he's sitting there explaining it, I'm looking at the words, and I'm thinking,
302. 1:11:58AI could just understand this, and AI could actually just replicate it and take that basic model and do that for anyone.
303. 1:12:06So it's like this thing that is so uniquely him, even that could just be replicated. but there was something about how he was explaining it.
304. 1:12:17He was like, well, this word started in the military with this meaning, and then it moved into the programming world with this meaning,
305. 1:12:25and now I've made it into this quasi-placeholder religion where you could say if you were going to design a religion
306. 1:12:31and you could do anything you wanted with it, what would you put in it? And that's what this thing is.
307. 1:12:36Fubarism is the name of his placeholder religion. And I realized that no one's going to give a shit about the sentence.
308. 1:12:49No one's going to give a shit about the workshop. What they're going to give a shit about is how Jerry explained it, what it means to him.
309. 1:13:00And it just hit me like, oh, my God, we're living in this time where our habit, because we've done it all of our lives, what just happened?
310. 1:13:12Did my thing just stop sharing? It did. Son of a bitch. We live in this time where the Chrome browser is just functionally unusable.
311. 1:13:35I'll be home in five. Oh, you don't have to come up. You're in the middle of traveling, Kelly. You don't have to come up on stage.
312. 1:13:41I thought you were home already. If you're traveling, you're good. You can tell us next week.
313. 1:13:55I've been having this screen. Oh, my God. I'm sleepy. I've been having this screen sharing issue both on my machine at work
314. 1:14:02and this machine. They just, screen sharing just stops. It just quits because Apple has decided, that excellence is more broadly defined
315. 1:14:16than it used to be. Hey, it's good enough. Ship it. I'll be down at the pub. I'll be on the other side of the spaceship getting a drink.
316. 1:14:36So everyone's going to copy everyone else's stuff. And if you talk about your stuff, no one's going to give a shit
317. 1:14:41about it. But if you talk about not you, but your story about why you created the thing, like Kelly,
318. 1:14:52why you created your food dye thing, why you're passionate about it, what your background is,
319. 1:14:58like why you. And then what hit me was, and this was inspired by Jerry. Jerry said at one point,
320. 1:15:05I was starting to get my head around this idea that talking about the stuff is history. It's history.
321. 1:15:16And the sooner you can understand that talking about your things is not going to be effective marketing.
322. 1:15:23Now, listen, it doesn't mean your things are not valuable. Your things are valuable. And what you do in them is valuable.
323. 1:15:29But the initial setup of how you talk about them, they're not going to stand out because everyone's going to be promising better AI education, human-centered, heart-centered, whatever thing is the thing, everyone's going to copy it, everyone's going to be talking about it, and everyone's going to be consulted.
324. 1:15:49So this is coming very, very quickly.
325. 1:15:54And then Jerry at one point said, oh, he said, he said, are you talking about like that thing that on a global scale I can claim as my thing?
326. 1:16:08And I was like, yeah, like, like, what's that thing? Like, like, what is the thing? Who are the you? Who are the you?
327. 1:16:17Who are the you that only you could do that thing?
328. 1:16:24Like, Chef Kelly, you've got a combination of your professional background, who you're passionate about, your capacity to problem solve and figure stuff out, your ability to bridge a gap between corporate and humans.
329. 1:16:43and you understand big puzzle pieces, small puzzle pieces, you talking about why you created the tool you're putting out there,
330. 1:16:55that will stand out. The tool itself probably won't. Talking about the tool, at some point someone will just copy it
331. 1:17:02and now you're competing with them. But you talking about who you are and how you think and why you're passionate, that sticks.
332. 1:17:11so in order to be able to do that without driving yourself crazy and have it have it feel like this
333. 1:17:18confronting like oh god i gotta talk about myself you don't what you do have to do and this is the
334. 1:17:23homework i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna walk you through what i did for me today and then the homework is
335. 1:17:29is for you to do this for yourself over the weekend i want you to figure out who are you
336. 1:17:36that is like the global leader in this thing you can own. That you can do this better than anyone else in the world
337. 1:17:46and get crystal clear on that. And then through that lens, all of your projects have been born.
338. 1:17:56Your books and your job and just all of the stuff, your family, your community have all come out of that person. And if you can articulate
339. 1:18:08why people would want to spend time with that person, if you're looking for X, Y, or Z,
340. 1:18:16I'm your person. I am the global leader in the thing that I've invented about myself.
341. 1:18:22what what is remarkable about it is you have no competition if you're the only one in the world
342. 1:18:32that can do what you do how you do it you have no competition people either resonate with it or not
343. 1:18:39but the ones that resonate with it they're yours right they're yours they're going to go with you
344. 1:18:47on the journey. They will go use your tool. They will go to your workshop. Kyle, this is a great
345. 1:18:52homework assignment. So let me show you what I did. I haven't turned this into a methodology yet.
346. 1:18:58Actually, at the end, I told ChatGBT to create a methodology for me based on what we did. So I may
347. 1:19:04have created a methodology. I just haven't looked at it yet. So ChatGBT has a history of me, right?
348. 1:19:11And so it can go look at everything we've talked about. So they said, based on what you know about
349. 1:19:14me write a punchy, unforgettable five to 10 word statement that I can credibly declare
350. 1:19:19of what I am globally the best in the world at. And then it said a bunch of things. Turning AI
351. 1:19:27anxiety into human creative agency. Helping humans find agency in the age of AI. Translating
352. 1:19:32AI upheaval. Hang on. These are all fine. They don't really resonate with me. And they are also
353. 1:19:48heavily weighted toward my more recent projects, right? Like this, this has a lot of language of
354. 1:19:54the great repurpose in it. I'm really passionate about the great repurpose, but that's like one
355. 1:19:59thing in a whole lifetime of shit, right? So these are not quite me. So I said to it,
356. 1:20:05what about finding ways to capture these components? I'm fun. I have boundless energy.
357. 1:20:11I can explain complex... God damn it. What the actual fuck? We'll try sharing a different way.
358. 1:20:23now I'm sharing a tab instead of the whole window. I can explain complex things well,
359. 1:20:30especially make sense of what the implications of those things are. I innovate, look back to my
360. 1:20:37agency.com and Urban Desires days, my inventions, screenplays, and musical, my acting. I'm an artist,
361. 1:20:44a polymath, a curious love of life that understands and has empathy for how hard changes.
362. 1:20:51So I just vomited a bunch of stuff in here, black bar. I just vomited a bunch of stuff, and it said I'm going to pull it together.
363. 1:20:59And then I said, rather than distill it down for me, why don't you give me 20 bullet points of who I am? So it knows some stuff about me.
364. 1:21:07I just vomited in some stuff that I thought it missed.
365. 1:21:10And then it, here are 20 things that you may be uniquely qualified to own in the world.
366. 1:21:18so for you like just it's got whatever it's remembered of you just vomited new stuff like
367. 1:21:27here are you know 50 things that i think could be something i could own in this world right that i
368. 1:21:35could be the best in the world at um and then it came back and gave me these 20 suggestions making
369. 1:21:41the making the human meaning of ai understandable okay yeah that makes sense helping people feel
370. 1:21:47possibility instead of paralysis. Yeah, I do that. Making profound change feel personal,
371. 1:21:53navigable, and even energizing. Uh-huh. As I was reading through this, I'm like, oh yeah,
372. 1:21:58that's me. Oh yeah, that's me. Humanizing emerging technology without dumbing it down.
373. 1:22:03Interpreting the implications of new technology before most people know how to talk about them.
374. 1:22:07Yes. Creating language and frameworks that help people orient themselves in the new AI era,
375. 1:22:12the Great Repurpose, the seven economies. Yes, do that. Helping non-technical people enter
376. 1:22:18powerful technical conversations with confidence. That's what this channel is. That's what this
377. 1:22:24channel is, right? Making AI feel like a creative instrument, not just a productivity
378. 1:22:31tool. Showing how technology can amplify humanity rather than flatten it. Like, that's one that I'm
379. 1:22:36really passionate about. Bridging artistry and innovation in a way that feels lived,
380. 1:22:41not theoretical. Modeling what a modern polymath looks like in the age of AI, helping people
381. 1:22:46reclaim identity when work and roles begin to shift, turning curiosity into invention across
382. 1:22:53mediums. Yes, stage, screen, startup, systems, communities, frameworks. Your curiosity has
383. 1:23:00repeatedly become tangible work. Building communities where people can practice becoming
384. 1:23:06who they need to be next, making big ideas, charismatic, memorable, and alive, right? So
385. 1:23:12all these things, like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And then it clustered them for me.
386. 1:23:17Another day on beat. Yeah, you need to go rest. Need some time to process all of this. Very cool.
387. 1:23:23I'm excited to hear about it, though. So then I said, and then it asked me a bunch of questions,
388. 1:23:30like, which one of these resonated with you? And I didn't feel like working. This was this morning.
389. 1:23:34I hadn't had coffee yet. So what I said was, write me three personal mission statements that weigh my
390. 1:23:41advantages differently. Let me see the three versions of me in paragraph form that are distinct enough
391. 1:23:48I can react to what feels right. Use your best judgment. And so it wrote, the human bridge
392. 1:23:53through change. My mission is to help people cross the terrifying, exhilarating bridge between
393. 1:23:58the world as it was and the world that is emerging. I'm uniquely wired to make profound change feel
394. 1:24:04understandable, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay, that's pretty good. Number two, the artist innovator
395. 1:24:10of human possibility. My mission is to invent experiences, stories, frameworks, and communities
396. 1:24:15that expand people's sense of what's possible. Like, oh, that's pretty good. That sounds like me.
397. 1:24:20Number three, the charismatic translator of the new world. My mission is to make the future make
398. 1:24:25sense before it arrives. I have the rare ability to absorb complexity, sense its implications
399. 1:24:32early, right? I bring the energy of a performer, the instinct of a storyteller, the curiosity of
400. 1:24:37a polymath, and the pattern recognition of an innovator. I'm like, oh, this is good. So I like
401. 1:24:43all three of these. So what I said to it was, well, damn, like I like all of them. What if those
402. 1:24:49three things were three acts of the story you tell about me, of the thing I can own.
403. 1:24:57And so then I worked with it for a good long time. We went through a lot of shit back and forth and
404. 1:25:03back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. And then at some point, we got to a point
405. 1:25:07that stuff was pretty good. And I had it put it into a canvas so I could edit it. And so I'm
406. 1:25:16going to read you the long mission statement, and then I'm going to read you, I had it create a long
407. 1:25:22mission statement, a three-sentence version, a one-sentence version, and then a personal I am
408. 1:25:29statement. So I'm going to read you the long one, and then I'll read you the I am statement.
409. 1:25:34And you tell me if you feel like this sounds like me. My mission is to joyfully explore the
410. 1:25:41intersection of technology, creativity, and human possibility, and to turn what I discover into
411. 1:25:46stories, ventures, and conversations that inspire people to meet the profound technological change
412. 1:25:52with creativity, agency, and self-expression. I live at the intersection of art, innovation,
413. 1:26:00entrepreneurship, and human transformation, bringing the energy of a performer, the curiosity
414. 1:26:05of a polymath, the instincts of a storyteller, builder, and technologist to make complex change
415. 1:26:11feel vivid, personal, and possible. I am especially driven to help people understand the deeper
416. 1:26:17implications of AI, not just what it does, but what it changes in how we work, create, and define
417. 1:26:23ourselves. More than anything, I want to model what it looks like to meet this moment with
418. 1:26:29imagination, action, and a fuller expression of who we are while building the kinds of tools,
419. 1:26:35ideas, and spaces that invite others to do the same. Like, fuck. Yes. Like, that feels like me.
420. 1:26:46That feels like, that's a fucking, that's, I can own that. I can say, yes, I am the best in the
421. 1:26:52world at that. And then how do you distill that down? So then it distilled it down to the three
422. 1:26:59sentence version of that, and then the one sentence version of that. And then I got it down to an I am
423. 1:27:05statement. I am Kyle Shannon, an artist innovator, the one who inspires people to meet profound
424. 1:27:12technological change with creativity, agency, and self-expression. So your weekend homework,
425. 1:27:20should you choose to accept it, is do this for yourself. I mean, you can go back and watch this
426. 1:27:27recording if you want to walk through the like all my prompts are in here and then i turned it
427. 1:27:31into a uh the methodology i wonder if this is any good there's the outcome the core principle
428. 1:27:38gather the raw material what are your abilities what's your lived identity what's your emotional
429. 1:27:45commitment these are cool what are the distinctive through through lines
430. 1:27:50create ownership territories write three different mission statements
431. 1:27:57combine the strongest elements distill it into multiple levels there you go so go do that do that this weekend figure out who you are
432. 1:28:18that's a genius. And then the other piece of this. So the first thing is understand
433. 1:28:25who you are in the world. That when someone says, what are you about? You can just
434. 1:28:32instantly answer. I'm about this. And here's how I see the world. And here's what I want to do.
435. 1:28:38And here's the change I want to make. And then you can say, and I've got all these projects.
436. 1:28:44I've got a book. And I've got a workshop. And I've got a site. And I've vibe coded a thing.
437. 1:28:48and I've got a musical. I've got a this and I've got a that. Oh, tell me about the musical. And
438. 1:28:53then rather than telling them about the musical, tell them about how I created it, why I created it.
439. 1:28:59What does it mean to me? What do I want to see in the world?
440. 1:29:05Then I can talk about the musical, right? Talk about your story about that thing. because they're not going to buy your workshop.
441. 1:29:16They're going to buy you delivering your workshop. They're going to buy you telling them that how you made this thing
442. 1:29:25is something that they can trust. So even if you're not delivering it, they're going to buy you having created that thing
443. 1:29:35because everyone's going to be able to copy the thing. No one can copy you, especially if you figure out what you're globally the best at.
444. 1:29:44All right. So there's a fucking weekend homework. Go do that. Isn't that cool? All right. Maybe it's not. Maybe it is.
445. 1:29:58Hey, my screen sharing lasted for longer than 38 seconds. Mimi, I accept. That's good. That's the right attitude.
446. 1:30:09dude. Homework accepted. Oh, man. Beautiful. OpenClaw will run on everything. A Raspberry
447. 1:30:22Pi works. Docker, not good because OpenClaw wants to control the computer, but a container
448. 1:30:29is constrained. Oh, that's good to know. Claude has been telling me to throw shit into Docker,
449. 1:30:35which I assume is safer, but whatever. It's cool. Sharing a framework for crafting a personal
450. 1:30:41mission statement. Join the discussion. Oh, AI summary. TikTok is summarizing what we're doing
451. 1:30:46here. All right. Beautiful. I am going to get on out of here. You all have a fantastic weekend.
452. 1:30:54Next week, I am traveling Monday. I've not decided what days next week. Part of this is
453. 1:31:04i'm going to a client uh national sales meeting all week it's a pharma sales meeting and we're
454. 1:31:09filming videos and things like that for using our technology for uh for a big client or a big client
455. 1:31:16and i'm there all week so i kind of need to get my feet on the ground to understand either how
456. 1:31:23intense or not intense that event is going to be it might just be that we're sitting around all
457. 1:31:27day not doing much it might be that we're like completely overwhelmed and trying to keep up with
458. 1:31:33it, in which case I'll be really exhausted. So next week is going to be disjointed. But tomorrow,
459. 1:31:40Saturday at 4 p.m. Eastern time, there's an LOL featuring Side Hustle Mimi, who might be late
460. 1:31:47because she's going to be creating her statement about the thing she is in the world that no one
461. 1:31:51else is like. She took that on as homework, so she might be late. But assuming she gets it together, She'll be there at 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
462. 1:32:04You should go join her, okay? And she's going to be talking about the app that she created and got published in the App Store.
463. 1:32:14It is for sale right now, and she's going to teach you how to do that. So you should go support her and listen to her and learn from her
464. 1:32:22and don't be intimidated by this shit. All right? Fair?
465. 1:32:31I am Kyle Shannon, an artist innovator, the one who inspires people to meet profound technological
466. 1:32:41change with creativity, agency, and self-expression. That's who I am. Who are you? That's your weekend homework. Peace!
