17:02 agree with
17:03 that it is the
17:07 bomb I love how the light hits the
17:09 buildings look at that bouncing off the
17:11 other buildings making it look all
17:14 dappled da
17:18 do that's a cool shot look at
17:25 that all right we're
17:27 jaywalking notice the no walking sign in
17:31 New York City you just ignore those
17:34 That's the
17:35 Law watch me get arrested now sir we're
17:38 going to need you to come with
17:54 us New York's
17:57 finest
18:00 yo Amanda H what's
18:02 happening qbw
18:11 Williams I getting
18:14 thirsty we'll
18:18 survive there's a nice little breeze I
18:20 wouldn't be doing this if it were hot
18:21 out I can tell you that
18:27 fact

18:45 cool little curvy street the the streets
18:47 in downtown Manhattan are
18:49 amazing
18:51 um the AI marketing
18:54 programs I don't know um things like
18:58 Jasper and copy AI I think there's
19:01 probably a lot of value in
19:03 them um it's stuff that you could
19:06 probably figure out on your own my my
19:08 challenge with software like that is
19:11 that it's a lot
19:14 of uh it's a lot of features you're not
19:16 going to
19:17 need and then you know the handful that
19:19 you are going to
19:21 need are never going to be quite exactly
19:23 what you
19:24 need but if you don't feel like figuring
19:28 all that [ __ ] out on your
19:29 own
19:31 probably probably worth doing it I know
19:33 it's probably windy right now I'm
19:34 walking into the wind I'll try to get
19:37 out of it in a
19:38 second hey my stupid self came to

24:28 this is amazing working down
24:36 here if you haven't been to New York
24:38 these scaffolding are just they're like
24:41 part of the part of the architecture is
24:43 just everything's always under
24:52 construction okay I'm hot
24:55 now in case it's not obvious I'm a fan
24:57 of the Earth air conditioning how was
25:00 the wait time for the scanning oh so so
25:02 the scanning thing I know there was all
25:04 that uh that talk of long lines that
25:08 must have been at the popular locations
25:11 because I was at
25:13 uh I went to this place called The Grove
25:16 and I'm like oh this is going to be some
25:17 fancy hipster thing no it was just a
25:20 clothing store they had one orb there
25:23 and two women that were like yeah we
25:24 don't know much about this but you can
25:26 stick your eye right there if you want
25:27 to so I just walked up to it and my uh
25:31 software had screwed up so I reinstalled
25:32 that and then it
25:34 worked stuck my eye on the thing or not
25:36 on it you just look at it and at one
25:39 point I had to open my eyes wide because
25:41 I guess I was a little sleepy because
25:42 I've been up till 3 in the morning and
25:44 then uh a little white light sort of
25:49 circled around the thing and then it
25:50 said okay after it it verified my
25:54 uniqueness as a
25:55 human I uh I got my ID and I just posted
26:00 a video to it to the channel so you can
26:02 see what the ID looks like it's pretty
26:04 cool little
26:06 nft that's a cool
26:08 building off in the distance you can't
26:11 see it but it's
26:21 cool winding my way to 20 Exchange
26:27 Place is this New York City yes this is
26:30 New York
26:31 City I am down we were just at the uh
26:35 911 memorial looking at the footprints
26:38 of the
26:39 towers and I was down in the subway
26:41 station there where they have all the
26:42 shops that's where I got my that's where
26:44 they had the orb where I got my ey scan
26:47 for my world
26:50 ID look the colors on that building
26:54 that's
26:57 nuts
27:00 [Applause]
27:02 look a big old ConEd truck doesn't it
27:04 look like you know it's like the the uh
27:07 the feds are in there right getting
27:10 ready to do a
27:12 Shakedown so here's Wall
27:16 Street
27:18 and hang on that building popping out
27:21 right there above 53 wall that's 20
27:26 Exchange that's where my offices were
27:30 there's the Trinity Church down there
27:33 come on
27:34 phone it doesn't like these varied
27:37 lighting conditions see the steeple of
27:39 the Trinity Church down
27:42 there beautiful
27:47 stunning lots of people the people
27:55 Rock I got to change my glasses
28:03 um there there's my bag I just knocked
28:13 down all
28:17 right that view I know what do you think
28:21 about nfts are they dead or just
28:23 beginning um hey lunar stick what's
28:26 happening um
28:28 I think
28:30 the crypto
28:32 Bros have earned a Welles a well
28:36 deserved timeout sitting in the corner
28:38 they need to shut the [ __ ] up and go sit
28:42 in the corner until they can figure out
28:43 how to not to rip people off all the
28:45 time but that said one of the reasons I
28:49 went and
28:50 got my ey scan is that I do think some
28:54 sort of tokenization whether it's
28:56 blockchain or some other
28:58 technology for doing things like
29:01 verifying if you're human or not
29:03 verifying if content is original or not
29:06 I think it's actually going to become
29:08 really critical in not that long an
29:11 amount of
29:12 time and uh so I think that AI is
29:16 actually going to drive the adoption of
29:18 blockchain and it's there's going to be
29:19 a use case for it that everyone's going
29:21 to understand and they're going to be
29:23 like oh yeah I need to know that that's
29:25 the real deal Okay so God this is a
29:28 beautiful building so this is 20
29:31 Exchange Place this
29:34 is yeah I'll I'll show you so now
29:38 leasing like like all uh commercial real
29:40 estate right now they're probably
29:42 struggling but that's 20 Exchange plates
29:44 so that's where our offices were so we
29:47 had the top three floors of the big
29:51 section and then one floor on the 50th
29:55 floor um
29:58 and right in here is where this was the
30:00 main entrance to the bank these are the
30:01 City Bank
30:02 headquarters and I don't know if you can
30:04 see it I I'll show you that before this
30:06 is the City Bank headquarters and you
30:08 walk in there there's the the old marble
30:10 teller booths are in there and the
30:13 uh the the giant safe the stainless
30:17 steel safe is in
30:21 there and then on the corner in that
30:23 brick
30:25 building the ground floor is a
30:28 restaurant called Del monos if you've
30:30 ever heard of a Del Monaco steak that's
30:32 what it's named for that restaurant
30:34 right there so whenever we went a big
30:37 piece of business we'd come down here
30:39 and have some meaty
30:42 goodness so here's the kind of backside
30:44 of 20
30:46 Exchange just crazy streets down
30:50 here and if you
30:52 see so this is the back entrance I don't
30:55 know what street this is this is Beaver
30:57 Street if you see those two flag poles
31:00 when we were on our Heyday those two
31:02 flag poles had agency.com flags hanging
31:05 down from him that was some pretty
31:07 headyy
31:09 [ __ ] walking around down here and seeing
31:12 your your logo on a building pretty
31:17 cool ancient history at this point
31:26 boy
31:29 okay I gotta get out of the Sun the
31:31 shade's okay the Sun not
31:39 okay all right let's
31:42 see all right what are people asking
31:44 here um I want to do the I scan you can
31:48 do the I
31:49 scan in the states in New York Miami and
31:52 San Francisco right now I mean the fact
31:55 that I just did it it was like in a a
31:57 clothing store I don't know that there's
31:59 a
32:00 reason why you wouldn't do it um why
32:04 don't they won't have it everywhere
32:05 maybe they just don't have enough of the
32:06 orbs
32:08 built the orb is also a lot less
32:10 mysterious than I thought it would be
32:13 it's just kind of piece of plexiglass
32:14 with a couple of fencers on
32:17 it but I'll show you so I'm just walking
32:20 around the building here this is It's a
32:21 triangular building 20
32:23 Exchange
32:25 so our floors
32:27 [Music]
32:29 were I think they were 11,000 square ft
32:32 each and they were triangular so we had
32:34 like three Each corner was a different
32:37 team of like 25 to 30 people but look at
32:40 those
32:41 signs aren't those
32:43 amazing that was like from back in the
32:50 day I feel like that
32:53 building wait what that is the star of
32:56 every movie with a bankr well yeah cuz
32:58 it was the it was the City Bank
33:05 headquarters I
33:07 mean this is where we walked into work
33:10 every day that was
33:12 cool all right I'm gonna Meander my
33:16 Meander my way back to
33:22 Monique all right I thought this was a
33:25 game at first yeah this is this is Grand
33:28 Theft New York City New Jack City yeah
33:32 wow come
33:39 on Daddy needs a
33:42 soda daddy
33:46 thirsty all right what do we got
33:50 here um they don't bu make buildings
33:53 like that anymore no they don't they
33:54 don't at all look at that [ __ ] thing
33:58 those
33:59 little Nubs that stick out at the top of
34:02 that those are all
34:05 faces and it's amazing is like
34:08 magnificent as this building is if you
34:11 look at a
34:12 Skyline of lower Manhattan you can
34:15 barely recognize it it's just a teeny
34:16 little insignificant building in the in
34:20 the
34:21 mix this is very New
34:26 York
34:33 lunch
34:37 Anyone it's funny you know when I when I
34:41 lived here and actually this is like
34:44 there's just something about this bag
34:45 just sitting here that's there's
34:48 something like really poetic and
34:49 artistic about that so a lot of my
34:52 photography when I lived in New York was
34:54 just shooting [ __ ] like that but I found
34:57 beautiful that you know thousand people
35:00 just walked
35:12 by another nice entrance to a building I
35:15 don't know that
35:17 building broad
35:20 exchange it's pretty
35:25 beautiful 50 5
35:41 exchange my pfp is
35:44 trash get another
35:47 one I've got I've got one good
35:52 nft
35:53 and well no I've
35:56 got
35:57 I've got one decently valuable
36:00 nft and a companion one there's the
36:02 stock
36:04 exchange and then I have like I don't
36:07 know 150 just garbage nfts that are not
36:12 worth [ __ ] never will
36:16 be
36:18 but that's I mean you know it's funny
36:21 like the the nft thing the blockchain
36:23 thing the AI
36:26 thing
36:28 for me as I start to get my head around
36:31 these
36:32 Technologies
36:35 and it's like I feel like you gotta you
36:38 got to play with them enough to figure
36:40 them
36:41 out and what happened with with me with
36:44 blockchain and nfts was I really
36:47 liked the core
36:50 technology but then every time I looked
36:52 into a project they just all seemed like
36:55 they were full of [ __ ]
36:57 and what happened with the AI stuff is
37:01 the more I looked into it the more
37:03 remarkable it
37:05 became and
37:08 so you know my experience down here with
37:12 agency.com
37:14 being right next to that
37:19 place
37:24 was that's pretty cool
37:28 um that's why I'm so into this stuff
37:30 because it's like holy [ __ ] this is
37:32 another one of those this is one of
37:33 those it's got that it's got that
37:35 possibility and
37:37 so I think it's
37:56 important it's CUO cucko
38:05 cuckoo a dollar
38:08 keychain good Lord what a
38:13 bargain sorry switching
38:15 hands switching hands I might not make
38:19 it

38:30 block closer to it or two blocks closer
38:32 to it than what I showed it
38:35 before come on get this guy you can do
38:38 it come on Apple you can do it there you
38:42 go that's pretty
38:46 stunning hey Monique if you're still
38:48 listening just put put the address where
38:50 you are in here and I'll just walk to
38:56 it
39:02 let's see descriptions are the way
39:05 forward decentralized avatars with
39:09 capability to run programs
39:12 yep I would agree with
39:15 that I think apple is going to be the
39:18 one that shows the way but they've
39:23 disappointed us
39:24 before look at that [ __ ] God
39:27 that's
39:28 gorgeous I don't know there's just
39:29 something about these buildings down
39:31 here that are you know what it is
39:33 they're just so
39:35 handmade you know it's not just the
39:37 steel and glass

43:03 client
43:05 tomorrow and then we have a two-hour
43:08 meeting on Tuesday with the same company

45:10 [ __ ]
45:13 photograph all right Daddy needs a
45:22 drink is that
45:25 thing
45:34 is this Broadway
45:53 yes oh they're not here
46:04 let's go you got Gatorade
46:24 Gatorade how's it going
46:50 thanks
46:53 buddy hoo h h
46:57 all right I got blue
47:00 Gatorade I'm close to
47:02 Monique all is going to be right with
47:04 the
47:06 world she's going to have doed up hands
47:08 and doed up
47:18 toes all right let me pause for a second
47:20 here and get some get some fluid in
47:25 me
47:32 all right what's everyone saying
47:36 here oh my yeah that van that van was
47:39 special stay hydrated I'm doing that
47:41 right now any predictions what I I will
47:43 be like in a year's time I'll talk about
47:45 that in a second is this New York City
47:48 yes is that waterf free yeah all the
47:50 water you can find on the in the puddles
47:52 on the street is free everything else is
47:55 $5 oh although this uh Gatorade was only
47:57 $2 which I think it's cheaper than it is
47:59 in
48:00 Denver I was expecting it to be four or
48:03 five and it
48:04 wasn't
48:08 so this this is one of the big buildings
48:11 that this building had damage on it on
48:13 911 but it survived it was just kind of
48:16 superficial damage but everything else
48:21 got taken out that building's really
48:25 beautiful
48:36 oh no it wasn't a water machine it was
48:38 just one of these street meat
48:47 vendors all right that feels
48:51 better got a little fluids got a little
48:55 electrolytes we're moving
49:09 on it's cool you're all hanging out with
49:12 me I hope this isn't too boring I never
49:14 find New York boring I mean whether it's
49:17 the
49:17 people or
49:21 the
49:22 cabs or the
49:25 buildings or the hustle and the
49:28 bustle there's just something about
49:31 it there is just something about it all
49:36 right this is 150 she said
49:40 222 so I think I'm going in the right
49:49 direction
49:55 yes
49:56 oh someone asked about AI in a year hang
50:00 on what did you
50:05 ask sad when Gatorade is cheaper than
50:07 water rainwater and oxygen will be
50:09 charged in the future yeah for sure
50:12 greatest city in the world I totally
50:15 agree um where was that
50:17 question any predictions on what AI is
50:21 like in a year's
50:22 time
50:24 um a year I feel like I can
50:27 do um this is not Time Square we're down
50:30 at um we're down the
50:34 91 Ground Zero is essentially right down
50:37 that block oh wait you can't see
50:41 it right down
50:43 there so I'm on Broadway so we're like
50:46 two blocks over from from where the
50:49 World Trade Centers were the Twin
50:52 Towers
50:54 um where you heading to right now I'm
50:56 just headed to um meet my business
51:01 partner
51:02 Monique who is getting a Manny Petty it
51:04 started out as just a petty and then she
51:07 added the Manny because she knows how to
51:09 live and I just decided I would like to
51:12 sweat for the next hour so I walked down
51:15 to my old where my uh my old agency used
51:19 to be
51:20 housed at 20 Exchange Place and we
51:23 looked at that did a tour of that and
51:24 now I'm just kind of walking back
51:26 um and then at some point here we're
51:28 going to hop in an Uber and head on over
51:32 to Scenic New Jersey oh
51:36 yeah tell what's one Bob you've won a
51:40 trip to Trenton New Jersey it's going to
51:42 be fantastic you're G to love
51:44 it all right I'd love to meet I work in
51:47 the city oh cool um I'm back
51:52 tomorrow tomorrow we're in j JY at this
51:56 Pharma client and then
52:00 Tuesday I'm going to be back in the city
52:02 and I think we only have
52:04 one one meeting so I could potentially
52:06 meet so just DM me who is
52:09 that
52:11 B all right
52:14 b um yeah just DM me and uh I think our
52:18 hotel
52:20 is near Time
52:24 Square
52:28 so stomping ground chaos generation I
52:31 know oh look at that that's oh you can't
52:33 see it I wish this thing would oh wait
52:35 maybe I can tap it hang on let me see if
52:38 I can tap
52:42 for come on it's not letting me do it
52:46 ah come on see the sky see this guy
52:50 little
52:52 camera well down at the end of that
52:54 street that's the
52:56 uh one of The Monuments that thing that
52:58 looks like a big seagull
53:02 wing all right what address am I
53:06 at oh she said she was on Fulton okay I
53:09 know where I am all
53:11 right oh back to the question of pred
53:14 prediction for AI in a year
53:16 listen I got ADHD to begin with plus I'm
53:19 walking around New York City tried to
53:21 take in all this [ __ ] and talk at the
53:23 same time I got distracted I'll give you
53:25 that
53:27 okay in a
53:31 year open AI will have their [ __ ]
53:34 together like open AI right now is has
53:37 kind of stagnated because I think
53:38 they're dealing with a lot of lawsuits
53:40 and cutting deals is my
53:42 guess
53:45 um they just released this thing called
53:47 GPT
53:49 bot um which people are going to be able
53:51 to opt into and opt out of and that
53:54 means that I think that means that chat
53:58 GPT will no longer have like a a time
54:02 stamp or it'll be much more up to date
54:04 because they'll just be constantly
54:06 running that bot and updating [ __ ] um
54:09 that may not be true but I think that
54:11 that that's what that looks like
54:14 their
54:17 um their trademark registration for gp5
54:21 talked about gp5 doing um voice to text
54:28 and uh text to voice
54:32 synthesis and it already does it already
54:34 reads images and they've already got
54:37 Dolly so my my gut is that a year from
54:42 now GPT 5 will be out it will be truly
54:46 multimodal um so you'll be able to just
54:48 very very quickly bounce
54:51 between you know making images making
54:53 text writing copy for the image you know
54:56 creating a soundtrack for that things
54:57 like that it'll probably be early but I
54:59 think it's going to be truly
55:01 multimodal it's kind of a cool little
55:05 spot
55:08 um Apple will have launched whatever
55:11 their AI is going to
55:12 be that will likely change things
55:15 because I consumer grade yet and none of
55:17 it's really business ready yet so
55:19 Microsoft will have rolled out co-pilot
55:23 into Office
55:24 365 Google will have rolled out Bard
55:27 into off into their office suite Apple
55:30 will have their offering Amazon will
55:32 probably have some dramatically
55:35 glorified
55:37 Alexa
55:39 um let me
55:42 see oh there's 222 bro let me
55:48 see oh there's 222
55:51 Broadway all right Monique somewhere
55:53 down there all right I'm on the corner
55:55 of Broadway and F Monique so whenever
55:58 you get out I'll just be sitting out
56:00 here I love those little ice cream
56:02 trucks um so I think a year from now
56:07 um businesses will be taking this
56:10 seriously some Industries will start to
56:13 see pretty de devastating
56:18 layoffs people that are learning AI now
56:22 will have a lot of opportunity I think
56:23 there's going to be a lot of demand for
56:25 people that know how to do this [ __ ] at
56:27 any level and and not even you know know
56:31 how to do AI just know how to use AI
56:33 tools to do whatever it is you do I
56:36 think that's going to be something
56:37 that's in
56:38 demand um some people are really excited
56:41 about it it was really easy to make fun
56:44 of there were a handful of companies
56:46 dipping their toe in the water you
56:49 know punks like us that started an
56:52 agency could land Fortune 500 clients
56:55 because we could spell HTML so I kind of
56:58 feel like that's what we're in here but
57:00 I think rather than it
57:01 taking 3 years to really start to Hype
57:05 up I think by this time next year it'll
57:08 probably be like 98 99 was with the
57:11 worldwide
57:12 web where where it was just starting to
57:14 get really
57:15 frothy so the the dotom bubble was in
57:20 200,000 and and so 97 98 99 it it was
57:25 just stupid I had I had three different
57:28 employees within a one month period walk
57:30 into my office and quit because they've
57:32 been given 10 or2 million to start some
57:35 stupid.com
57:37 business and so it just got it just got
57:40 silly like that and so I think the AI
57:42 stuff's you know it's it's not quite
57:44 there yet but this time next year it's
57:46 going to be stupid it's going to be
57:48 insane um and it's going to start
57:50 affecting a lot of businesses and a lot
57:51 of people and that's going to suck and I
57:53 think that suck is going to last
57:57 for two years three years and then it'll
58:00 start to normalize it'll start to see
58:02 new jobs and hopefully within five years
58:04 it starts to look
58:06 better but yeah I don't know that's it
58:09 that's all 1,000%
58:14 speculation um this was the church that
58:16 was closest to 911 this one this one
58:19 also was all of those fences around it
58:22 were just full of people's posters for
58:24 their loved ones
58:27 and and if you just keep walking that
58:29 way you end up in Time Square this is
58:31 Broadway so this is the great
58:35 lightway go to the corner oh wait go to
58:37 the corner of nasau and Fon where's
58:48 nasau anthropic is really close
58:54 to
58:56 to catching up to them
59:00 um Google's got to be spending a boat
59:04 load apple apple
59:07 apparently has spent the bulk of their
59:11 24.6 million or billion dollar research
59:14 budget they have a $24 billion research
59:18 budget they've apparently spent most of
59:21 that on generative
59:23 AI so
59:30 if if if Sam
59:32 can can focus open
59:36 Ai and M Microsoft doesn't find a way to
59:39 screw it up uh than
59:43 possibly but I think that this time next
59:48 year open Ai and chat GPT will be one of
59:52 three major players and they may or may
59:55 not be on
59:56 top
59:58 um I think there will probably be more
1:00:01 like 10 or 12 players competing but
1:00:04 probably by a year from now we we'll
1:00:07 know
1:00:09 that we'll we'll know the three that are
1:00:12 the the real major players is my guess
1:00:15 and I think open AI will be in that
1:00:18 mix um all right where are you Monique
1:00:22 I'm at the corner go to 139 Fon and then
1:00:26 walk North on
1:00:28 NASA fine what's it
1:00:32 called coh oh that's right coh's coming
1:00:35 you've got inflection that just raised $
1:00:36 1.3 billion dollar so you know they've
1:00:39 got their little pie bot right now which
1:00:41 is super conversational that's going to
1:00:43 turn into a full-fledged
1:00:46 agent
1:00:52 um so yeah so there's there's players I
1:00:55 bet Monique's in there there she
1:00:59 is look at Mo'Nique can you see her in
1:01:01 there getting a
1:01:03 petty she'd wave but she
1:01:10 can't oh that's funny that's my business
1:01:13 partner we have been business partners
1:01:16 for 11 and a half
1:01:18 years she's the best so what we what we
1:01:22 talk about our relationship is I'm the
1:01:25 hand wavy guy she keeps the trains
1:01:27 running on
1:01:28 time and so it's a it's a very
1:01:32 good it's a very good balance right we
1:01:34 each have very different skills it's
1:01:36 taking us a while to learn how to talk
1:01:38 to each other because we look at the
1:01:40 world through very different
1:01:41 lenses but
1:01:45 um but she's a great partner and we're
1:01:48 going to go kick ass tomorrow damn
1:01:51 it we're going to go to this big farmer
1:01:54 we're going to be like we're small but
1:01:55 we're Mighty and you're going to give us
1:01:57 Bo loads of money oh leave your luggage
1:02:00 here silly oh yeah see this is why she's
1:02:03 my
1:02:07 partner see I knew there was the reason
1:02:10 I brought her along on this
1:02:14 trip she's she very often serves as my
1:02:20 brain oh good
1:02:22 lord it's Monique and Tech as well yeah
1:02:25 she and I are co-founders of Story vine
1:02:26 which is a an automated video

1:02:32 are
1:02:33 Engineers they're both business people
1:02:36 and marketers
1:02:38 and
1:02:45 such yeah I know so we got to go well
1:02:48 here let's let's see if they approve of

1:04:12 there that's the Freedom Tower off in
1:04:14 the distance there that big
1:04:16 tall that big tall
1:04:19 building how did I meet
1:04:21 Monique
1:04:23 um
1:04:27 um Mo'Nique and I met so we both knew
1:04:30 this guy named Jerry mulski and he was
1:04:34 a he was a like a tech futurist guy from
1:04:40 the 80s and 90s in New York City he
1:04:42 worked for a a magazine called release
1:04:44 1.0 Esther
1:04:46 Dyson's Tech newsletter that was pretty
1:04:49 famous back in the day he was the
1:04:50 managing editor I think there and then
1:04:53 he went off on his own and started this
1:04:55 thing called Jerry's Retreat which was
1:04:57 just he would invite people that he had
1:05:00 what he called an aha moment someone
1:05:02 that he just you know had a good
1:05:04 conversation with and then every year
1:05:06 would have these these meetings and so
1:05:08 we met at one of
1:05:09 those and
1:05:11 then we stayed in touch and she
1:05:14 started a marketing agency and I was
1:05:17 advising her on
1:05:19 that and so because I was advising her I
1:05:23 knew that that thing was coming to an
1:05:26 end um and uh I knew I wanted to start
1:05:30 Story vine so I called her up and I said
1:05:34 I'm thinking of moving out to Boulder
1:05:36 and you know what's your take on that
1:05:37 and she gave me she was the only one
1:05:39 that gave me honest
1:05:41 advice about Boulder in Denver which was
1:05:44 very much
1:05:46 appreciated um because everyone else was
1:05:48 like oh it's great it's fantastic it's
