2. 0:27Hey, hey, hey. There's no rapping. Why are you rapping? [music] She came on [singing] him like [music] slow moving cold front.
3. 0:47His beard [singing] was warm and a look in her eyes. [music] She sat [singing] on stool and he said, "What do you want?" [music]
4. 1:01She said, "Give me a [singing] love that don't freeze up inside." Now you're not singing at all. Champy, what's up? You singing? [music]
5. 1:16You said [singing] I have melted some hearts [music] in my t. But to sit next to you while I shiver and shake. [music]
6. 1:30And if I knew love, well, I don't think I'd [singing] be here with you [music] asking myself if I've got what it takes. [music]
7. 1:44I do melt [singing] your icy blue heart. [music] Should I stop? Turn what's been frozen [singing] for years [music]
8. 2:01into a river of tears. [music] [music] >> [music]
9. 2:20>> Good evening, good people. What's happening out there on the internet and on the Tik Toks? Tick tock is where it's
10. 2:26at. We got your twerking. We got your monster trucks. Come down Saturday to the tick tock. GET YOURSELF CORN DOG. >> [music]
11. 2:48[music] >> Use this blaze. I can rest my forhead [music] to gather my thoughts in
12. 3:03[singing and music] sweet silence. >> [music] >> This is place where the [singing] feelings are dead from an overexposure to violence.
13. 3:20[music] And this is [singing] place I can slowly face. The only one I truly [singing] can know. [music]
14. 3:29These are tears from a long time ago. Got these tears from a long time ago. [singing] I need to cry 30 years or so.
15. 3:42These all [singing] tears from a long time. Go. [music] Oh darling, oh darling, you say unto me,
16. 4:01[music] where have you been all my [singing] life? [music] Well, [singing] I have been swimming seven sad seas.
17. 4:16[music] Poor women have [singing] cost me their lifelines. But I'd pull them into the waters. [singing and music]
18. 4:24I'd have warned them, but I didn't know. [music] These are tears from a long time ago. Got these tears from a long time ago. I
19. 4:37need to cry 30 years [singing] or so. These are tears from a long time. We go.
20. 4:52[music] What's happening? Good people.
21. 5:06Were you all at festivus? Were everybody at Festivus? Where is everybody? You know what everybody's doing this week? They're
22. 5:14like, "I'm checking out I'm checking out I went to Festivus." Hey, you want to hear a remarkable stat? I think this is
23. 5:20absolutely remarkable. Um, AI Festivus. Uh, we had more than 4,000 people register. I don't uh know the to I don't
24. 5:30know if you know, Brandon, the total number that it showed up, but I know more than 2,000, but I don't know if we
25. 5:36have the actual number. I do not. Okay, we'll find that out. Um, but one of the things I found out, one
26. 5:44of the stats I found out, the average watching time, so this was 24 hours of content over two days, right? 12 hours
27. 5:51on Friday, 12 hours on Saturday. This past weekend, the average watch time of a participant watching Festivus was five hours.
28. 6:03Five hours was the average. That [laughter] means that far too many people watched all 24 hours. [laughter]
29. 6:17I think that's hilarious. I think that is that's that's just awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Um Dr. Jay, all 24 hours. Yeah, if
30. 6:27you're in Tik Tok and and and went all 24 hours, uh declare with pride, Vicki, that's all. Yeah, exactly.
31. 6:38Silver Fox. I know Vicki was there the whole time. [music] [laughter] Well, you got to figure though, it's the
32. 6:54kind of thing where, you know, some people probably came and left whatever in 20 minutes or they watched one
33. 6:59session and checked out. But to a to average across all the users, no matter, you know, how much they came in, to
34. 7:06average five hours, that that means that the like the the stats are probably pretty interesting. Like the the the
35. 7:13rider dies, you know, that that stayed for all 24 hours. We also in the afterparty, we were talking and there were a number of people in the
36. 7:19afterparty that were like, I was planning on watching an hour or two and then I found myself watching the entire
37. 7:25day one and then I thought, well, I've got to see day two now. So, so we got some we got some marathoners that just
38. 7:33intended to run a sprint. [laughter] [music] [music]
39. 7:52[music] >> [music] >> Yeah.
40. 8:09[music] [music] Ready. Jeffy. Well, I heard there
41. 8:25[singing and music] was a secret code. David played and it pleased the Lord. [singing] You don't really care for music, do you? [music]
42. 8:37It goes [singing] like this. The fourth, the fifth minor fall and a major lift bing composing. [singing] Hallelujah. [music] Hallelujah.
43. 8:52Hallelujah. You're not singing to him. [music] Hallelujah. [singing] Hallelujah. [music]
44. 9:07We are faithful, strong, but [singing and music] you needed proof. All right. He's not singing. We got nothing. We got nothing out of the
45. 9:13champ. We're paying him union wages, and we're getting nothing. We're getting nothing. He's got minimums. Two songs,
46. 9:22one verse minimum. You're getting nothing. Going to duck it out of your chicken sticks. [music]
47. 9:42[music] >> [music] >> Now you're singing. [music]
48. 10:04She came on here like a slow moving cold [music] as big as woman. All right, let's see. Better sing for cheese. I think he's
49. 10:20just being a pain in the ass. Anyone else have a a spoiled dog um that [clears throat] will eat whatever you make him for two
50. 10:29days and then stops [laughter] like no matter what it is. Here sir, sir, we have made you fa with a sauce. And then he just looks at
51. 10:44it like again, "No, no, no, no. We're not gonna do it. Not gonna do it. No." You try to feed him, he's like, "That's
52. 10:56what we're dealing with." But listen, I didn't spoil him and I don't cook for him. So, [laughter] I just I just watch it like a an amusing
53. 11:04Tik Tok video that just happens to be happening in my house in real time. [laughter] [gasps] Okay. Um, so a couple of things I want
54. 11:15to talk about. How are we doing timewise? Perfect. We're just getting started. It's beautiful, I tell you.
55. 11:20Beautiful. Um, so a couple of things. AIFest. If you weren't there, go check out uh go check out uh AI
56. 11:30Festivist. Go to AIFestivist.com. if you missed it entirely or if you saw parts of it and you want to know what you
57. 11:37missed like if you didn't watch the last four hours of Festivus that that stretch the last four hours which include
58. 11:44included an interview with Logan Kilpatrick and Liz Miller Gersfeld talked about her practice u it it was it
59. 11:51was just really a a beautiful Vanessa Chang closed the thing out um it it was really a beautiful kind of last um
60. 12:01stretch But the whole thing was was super inspiring. So, if you missed it, we've put together and and Ann Murphy is
61. 12:10responsible for all of what's in here. It's it's quite remarkable. There's a deluxe replay bundle that is it's only
62. 12:1827 bucks, which which if you do the math, it's a$112 an hour of content. Um, so, um, if you go to afestivist.com,
63. 12:29right at the top, you can say, "Hey, Festivus is over, but click here. You can get the replay bundle and some other
64. 12:33things." Um, [snorts] so go check that out. It's 27 bucks. You should do it. One thing I found out from Ann today is
65. 12:39she built a custom gem, a a Google custom GPT like thing, um, with all the content of Festivus. So, we're going to
66. 12:46check that out here at some point tonight. Um, but go get that. Like, you get the replays. You're going to get
67. 12:53Notebook LM, you know, audio overviews and video overviews and, you know, the presentations that people gave and just
68. 13:02all the stuff. All the stuff is in there for 27 bucks. Um, even if you don't want it [laughter] and you want to support
69. 13:10the cause, um, go pick it up. 27 bucks. Just, you know, you're supporting Festivus and, you know, our willingness
70. 13:15to do this, uh, you know, next year. Um, I also want to give a huge shout out to producer Brandon who uh showed up [laughter]
71. 13:26and ended up staying Oh, there's also a Jelly Pod podcast that's part of the the Deluxe Play bundle which is pretty cool.
72. 13:33Um, but Brandon ended up being sort of the the maestro uh behind the scenes making sure that everything was working
73. 13:40and he was there all all 24 hours. um even came on stage [laughter] for a couple of couple of sessions. Um so I
74. 13:48just want to give a special shout out to him and then the team over at She Leads AI for making the thing making the thing work. Um
75. 13:55but Festivus was really really good. Um Champ, what are you doing? What are you barking at now? You wouldn't sing and
76. 14:02now you're just randomly barking at a cardboard box. [laughter] His response was, "What? What's going on with you, champ?
77. 14:15Champ, what is going on with you? Why are you weird? Why are you weird? Do you need cheese? You need cheese? Do you want to go to
78. 14:22mama? What do you want? Huh? What do you want? Do you want to be fatter? Cuz I don't think that's possible.
79. 14:32Yes, I fat shame my dog. Hang on. [clears throat] Come on. Your dog is random barking.
80. 14:58NASA, I was on I was I was looking. So, I saw this AI festivist thing and then the man that was hosting it, he's got
81. 15:04this AI learning lab. So, I thought I'd go check it out. And then I get on there and he's like yelling at his dog and he
82. 15:09calls this dog fat. He said he couldn't get any fatter. And I thought, well, that's incredibly rude. And then I I
83. 15:16kind of looked at the man and I'm like, well, he's he's no skinny chicken, if you know what I mean. You know, just a
84. 15:23chicken that would be skinny. He's he's not he's not skinny. I'm I'm not fat shaming him for sure. He's he's he
85. 15:30looked fine, but you know, calling his dog fat I thought was Anyway. All right, I'm just here for the hair. [laughter]
86. 15:38Um, thank you very much. Yes, this is a this is a Kyle Shannon uh special. I cut my own hair in between the first day and
87. 15:46the second day of Festivus because I realized it had become unmanageable and I didn't have time to go out. So, uh
88. 15:52yeah, it's it's fine. Everything's going to be fine. [laughter] Um Oh, Festimus. Okay. So, [clears throat]
89. 16:05so there are a couple of themes that I think that I think are quite important the the full context of of AI Festivus
90. 16:15is that three years ago on this previous weekend we did uh an event called GPT for good and this was shortly after
91. 16:24custom GPTs had come out. Chad GPT had been around for about a year and essentially right on the anniversary of
92. 16:30Chad GPT. They launched custom GPTs and we were all super excited about it and everybody was making custom GPTs and we
93. 16:37thought let's get all of our friends together and make custom GPTs for nonprofits. And so we did that and it
94. 16:43was great. I think we made in 24 hours 150 or more um custom GPTs for nonprofit organizations. That was great. But that
95. 16:53was a lot about the tool, right? It was about custom GPT and we were doing it for a cause, but it was, you know, we
96. 16:58were teaching here's how to use the tool, here's how to do custom instructions, here's how you do this,
97. 17:03here's how you do that, here's what you turn off, you know, here's how you name it, here's how you share it. It was it
98. 17:09was very tactical about here's how to use this one tool in in this one particular way. Um, last year we decided to shift it up. We
99. 17:20were like, it's not really about the tools anymore. And then we were like, well, there's all these different tools.
100. 17:25Like, maybe we do something that's we bring in people that all teach different tools. And they're like, well, wait a
101. 17:30minute. Why don't we just bring in people who are just doing interesting stuff and have them talk about their
102. 17:34stuff where they can talk about whatever they want. And so, that was the first festivus. And and it was remarkable that all of the
103. 17:43people that came, none of them talked about tools. They all talked about, well, here's kind of what I'm trying to do.
104. 17:53Some were a little more developed than that. Not everyone was just like, I don't know. But like if if I were to if
105. 17:58I were to, you know, characterize an overall theme of all 24 hours last year, it was kind of like, huh, I think I'm
106. 18:06doing this AI thing. Yeah, it's Yeah, this I seem to be I'm going to go. I'm moving. Everyone everyone it was a fairly novel
107. 18:16thing that that people were sort of taking the skills that they already had. Maybe they'd developed some new skills
108. 18:23with AI. They were putting them together. They were putting them in the world. Some people were taking existing
109. 18:28businesses and like, "Yeah, I think I've I think I figured out a way [ __ ] my rejigger my business based on, you know,
110. 18:34this stuff." So So there was a novelty to it. And this year, like the two big things that that that stood out for me, the first one is just
111. 18:50humanity. like humans humans at the center of the conversation. There was a lot of talk, a lot of the
112. 18:57sessions were about humanity and about, you know, post-it notes and daily practices. And even Logan Kilpatrick,
113. 19:07who's from, you know, Google, which is notoriously engineer heavy and, you know, liberal arts light, um, is very
114. 19:16much about humanity and and the people and how they're going to leverage these technologies to level themselves up.
115. 19:23Um, so that was that was one of the one of the things that emerged for me is is the the the role of humans
116. 19:34weirdly increasing in value as the tools get stronger, right? So, so in in the in the um uh in in the land where it's a
117. 19:48zero sum game, it's us or the AI, right? You're always like, "Okay, if AI is getting stronger, then we're going to be
118. 19:55diminished to zero." And and one of the things I got is as the tools are getting stronger, the role for a human voice in
119. 20:04how to wield that power actually goes up. So, so that was one is that the value of humanity seems to be increasing
120. 20:13as the tools get stronger, which I I think is really cool. And then the second theme that I would I would just characterize
121. 20:22it as Liz Liz Miller Gersfeld calls it like this. She calls it professionalizing her practice. I like there was very much a professional
122. 20:32leaning toward the presentations that people are no longer it's no longer this novel thing. It's like people are doing
123. 20:38much more complicated projects and and you know the the things that they're doing involve multiple tools and
124. 20:44multiple workflows and human workflows and computer workflows and AI workflows all working together in tandem and and
125. 20:52there's just a leveling up. Um and so those were kind of the big the big takeaways that I that I took from uh
126. 21:00from from Festivus. And there were some, you know, obviously as any events like that, there were some real standout um
127. 21:07presentations and conversations. Um but it was just throughout throughout the the uh the two days. Um the engagement
128. 21:15in the chat was, you know, off the off the chain. It was really good. After this uh Tik Tok thought every day in
129. 21:21company, I'm looking to invest in AI service for my business, but don't know which one to use. Uh, you should join
130. 21:30the AI salon for one thing. Uh, you might even want to join the AI salon mastermind and join the practice lab,
131. 21:37develop an AI practice, which I'm going to talk about here in a second. Um there is okay
132. 21:51things have gotten so accelerated with AI tools that the answer to your question is essentially it doesn't matter pick one if you know
133. 22:04if you're just talking about a general large language model capability to do things like process emails and sorting
134. 22:10documents and doing analysis and things like that, just go with chat GPT. 20 bucks a month. Even the free chat GPT is
135. 22:17probably enough. Um, but I don't know your business. I don't know what's there. So, so the the important thing is is that you understand
136. 22:29that what AI is going to kind of be like the internet where like you wouldn't say today I'm trying to figure out which
137. 22:38internet tool is the best tool for my business. Well, it's like well what are you trying to accomplish? Are you doing
138. 22:43customer service or are you doing word processing? Are you doing you know math and do you need a spreadsheet or right?
139. 22:50you know like the the internet is just this broad this broad category of you know sort of connected capabilities. AI
140. 22:58is very much the same thing. So AI is getting ubiquitous and so there there is no such thing as the right AI tool at
141. 23:06all. Even within something like chat GPT there's probably 30 different tools within it. Right? Do you need to make
142. 23:14video? You could use Sora. Do you need to make images? You could use the image generation. Do you need to do
143. 23:20spreadsheet analysis? You can you can use, you know, that capability within it. So, so there's all these things
144. 23:25within it. So, um the most important thing is to just start playing. Um if you go to the AI salon, if you go to uh community.thesalon.ai,
145. 23:35in fact, uh Brandon just put it up on screen there. Um and join. If you go to the welcome screen, there's a welcome video with
146. 23:42myself and Leah Faston who who uh co-founded the salon with me. And if you scroll down, the next graphic is called
147. 23:49the cycle of AI readiness. And it it's three things. Play first, create excellence, and generously lead.
148. 23:58And play first literally means that just go play with AI tools. If you're trying to figure out which one's good for your
149. 24:04business, don't start with the business and just trying to figure out which tool matches it the best. Just go play with
150. 24:10AI. Have it write song lyrics for you. Have it solve equations. have it teach you to code or have it code something
151. 24:18for you. And then try Claude and try Grock and try uh well Meta is crappy. Don't try Meta. Um try Gemini and try ChatgPT.
152. 24:30Go play with the tools and see which one you like better because at this point they're all so good that any of them are going to be able to
153. 24:39help you. But what you're going to find is that there's going to be one that has a personality that you really like. So
154. 24:44that's kind of the answer there. Okay, I want to talk about this channel. So officially on January 1st, I'm going to
155. 24:54shift the focus of this channel. It's not that we're not going to do explore tools and making music and things like that,
156. 25:04but as I've been digging deeper and deeper into um the AI salon mastermind practice, which is this structured
157. 25:13framework for how to do um a daily practice using AI, the more I realized I've got this this channel where I go live five nights a
158. 25:25week, Right? And I'm like, "Oh, that's a that's a daily practice." And what I'm learning in designing my
159. 25:33daily practice is that no, it's actually not. That just because you do something regularly does not make it a practice. It makes it a habit.
160. 25:44And what I've come to realize is that the AI salon in its current format is a habit. And it's actually something I'm quite
161. 25:53proud of. Right. two and a half years ago or so, I said to myself, self, what if you went live seven nights a
162. 26:04week for a year and committed for a year and did that? So, I did that. And then after that, I thought that's kind of
163. 26:10ridiculous. So, I dropped it down to five nights a week. And that's what I've been doing since. So, for five nights a
164. 26:15week, the only real intention of the AI learning lab is show up. just show up and then we'll figure it out and I'll
165. 26:25we'll play with stuff. I'll answer questions, whatever it is. But it wasn't more than just show up. And what struck
166. 26:31me is that that is a habit and a practice requires a different level of engagement. It requires a different level of
167. 26:46inquiry and intention. And it requires me to confront those dark recesses of my personality
168. 27:01that I might not want to confront. Like, h I don't really know enough about that. That feels kind of icky. Uh I'm going to
169. 27:12go over here now. [laughter] Right. What what this channel has allowed me to do is rather than feel that icky feeling
170. 27:19and work my way through it and get to another level of excellence, I just sort of play with some other tool, right?
171. 27:29And then during Festivus, there was this uh this this human being that you all probably know well if you've been here
172. 27:37before named Cindy [ __ ] And she's a futurist and she wears big crazy glasses and she's got crazy hair and she does
173. 27:45crazy presentations and she's awesome. and she did this presentation and she was talking about one of the things that's made the
174. 27:54biggest difference for her in 2025 was dramatically narrowing her focus to three main themes.
175. 28:08And even in her describing her talk of three main things, I like I immediately on on air in Festivus, I was like, I
176. 28:16feel triggered. You are not taking my 22 projects away from me and and putting them into three little buckets, you evil evil woman. Um,
177. 28:27and so after Festivus, in my sleep-deprived state, I have come up with my three themes. And I was talking to Cindy today about
178. 28:39them. She she said, "Call me. I want to I want to talk through your themes and, you know, give you some advice about
179. 28:44what I've learned." And I was telling her about my themes and she was like, "Oh, those are great." I was telling her
180. 28:48what was in them. And then at some point we stumbled on she was like hey what if you did them on on the learning lab and I was like do what?
181. 29:03Do your themes do do your things on the learning lab. And so that's what I'm going to do. That's what where I'm going to shift
182. 29:16this this conversation is from, hey, I'm here and I'm going to show you some cool [ __ ] to I'm here and I'm going to use this
183. 29:26time to take these projects I've got and I'm going to I might try new tools, but I'm like basically the focus just shifts
184. 29:32from what are you doing? Like what's the project you're working on? So instead of the project being AI learning lab and
185. 29:39just making cool [ __ ] and putting it out in the world and then it's got nothing to do with the rest of my life,
186. 29:45I'm gonna I'm gonna start going to the uncomfortable places to actually make progress. And so what that could look
187. 29:50like is some nights look get really boring. What that could look like is sometimes I get really like triggered
188. 29:59and full of shame and you know I don't want to deal with it at all and I cut the evening short. Um or maybe I work through it.
189. 30:11What I'm going to do is take the lessons that I'm learning in the AI salon mastermind practice lab. So
190. 30:18that's the we have a weekly meeting that Liz Miller Gersfeld and I co-host. And if you saw Festivus, Liz's talk about
191. 30:25her daily practice was absolutely inspiring. It was moving. If you haven't seen it, it's worth the 27 bucks just to watch that presentation.
192. 30:34Um, I'm going to take what I've been learning in there and start doing it in here. And so, what I would encourage you to do is join me.
193. 30:46So start thinking about the kinds of things that you want to work on and start thinking about uh the uh the
194. 30:58those those areas in your life where you might not want to go there and just like look at that because where we have
195. 31:03resistance there's often gold on the other side of that. So so that's what it's going to look like. So here's what
196. 31:11we're going to do. Oh, there's a tool for that. Here's what we're going to do. Oh, Cindy Coon's in the house.
197. 31:14Fantastic. She's giggling. Yeah, I know. You totally you totally screwed up the learning lab. Like the learning lab now
198. 31:21Cindy is going to completely transform and it's all your fault. So, um, so here's what here's here's the genius
199. 31:28idea I had. So, I was talking to Cindy and this here's a good example of the difference between a practice and a habit.
200. 31:39So Cindy's like, "Do your practice and and you know, do it do it in real time." And I was like, "Okay, great. Well, the
201. 31:47first thing I really need to do is I really need to get my [ __ ] together with this. Where am I going to save my
202. 31:52files?" Like what started as a joke on this channel, which is my my um file management recommendation is save
203. 32:00everything to the desktop with a you know an an uninteresting name that you won't be able to find again. It started
204. 32:07as a joke. That's become my habit. Okay, Vickiy's in the studio. Great. Um, and it's a really bad habit. And so, in
205. 32:18order for me to professionalize and to level up the work I'm doing, I need to have a place to put things where I can
206. 32:24find them again. And that is just icky work, right? And and there's a bunch of people in this channel like Vicky and
207. 32:33Kelly Camp and Cindy who are all using Notion. And everyone that uses Notion is like, "Oh my god, Notion is so amazing."
208. 32:40And I don't know why they talk like that, but they do. Every single one of them. Even Vicki, she's like, "Oh my
209. 32:44god, you should see Notion's incredible. It's incredible. It's so good." Anyway, that's what they sound like. And so I
210. 32:54wanted to start talking like that, right? And so in my head, I'm like, I'm on the phone with Cindy, strategizing,
211. 33:00and I'm thinking in my head, how can I how can I get Notion set up and installed before I go live tonight?
212. 33:11Because I don't want to actually look stupid. I don't want to actually look like I don't know what I'm talking
213. 33:17about. I just want to give you the illusion that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I want to have it all
214. 33:22figured out, right? because it's the AI learning lab and I'm the I'm the wacky professor. So then what hit me was, "Oh [ __ ] maybe
215. 33:30I should just do it live." And then Cindy was saying, "Oh, there's this video you could watch." And you know,
216. 33:35I'm thinking of that and I'm like, "Wait a minute, what if I brought Vicki up and I basically start installing Notion live
217. 33:42being totally clueless, but Vicki will be here to guide me and she agreed to do it." So Vicky Baptiste, are you ready? Notion. Yes, notion.
218. 33:52You said icky and that rhymes with Vicki and [laughter] that's like rubbing Aladdin's lamp. Here I am.
219. 34:00>> It's beautiful. Well, first of all, thank you for doing this. I I I feel like I'm I'm cheating by by bringing you
220. 34:07up here, but but I I thought a couple of things. One is I figure it gives you an opportunity to just talk about stuff
221. 34:13you're doing, right? And and and show your expertise and and give you a bit of a platform to do that. Um, but it also
222. 34:21like as you're teaching me, people are going to be uh learning along. Uh, yeah, Manis was was acquired by Meta, if you
223. 34:28didn't hear that. Yeah, I know. It's crazy. Um, go start an AI company because if you do anything remotely interesting, you're going to get
224. 34:35acquired by one of the frontier model companies. They're just buying everyone. Um, but here's so here's the other thing
225. 34:42that I would encourage you to do. Chad is very excited about notion. Okay, good. So, here's what I want you to do.
226. 34:48This is th this is one of the things I want to shift in in our conversation. So for three years, the conversation has
227. 34:55been this. I just want you to show up and I just want you to be in the conversation. Just be in the conversation and you'll learn AI and you
228. 35:03can play with stuff while we're doing it. My request moving forward as I start to treat this channel like a practice,
229. 35:10what I would encourage you to do is show up and do the same. So instead of just doing what I'm doing, like think about
230. 35:16your own projects and and you know, are you in play mode? Are you in create excellence mode? Are you in leadership
231. 35:22mode? Like what mode are you in? Use this time to really work on your practice. For tonight in particular, if
232. 35:28you have not installed notion, if you don't even know what it is, like I'm I sort of know what it is, but like I was
233. 35:34asking Cindy [ __ ] like, "Can I put files in it?" And she's like, "Oh my," she goes, "Oh my god, it's so amazing. It's
234. 35:39so incredible. You should talk to Vicki. Vicki is really good at it. Right. Doesn't everyone talk like that
235. 35:45when they talk about notion, Vicki? Yes, they do. >> I better live up to this. [laughter] I can't do that accent though. I'm sorry.
236. 35:54>> Good. You're gonna love that. [laughter] So, anyway. Um, so if you haven't installed Notion, follow along because I
237. 36:02am I am just this side of like I'm I'm I am I am I I am in pre-shame about how little I know about Notion. But you know
238. 36:11what? That's where we all start. So, part of the practice is just feeling that X. So, with that, Vicki, um, do me
239. 36:18a favor, introduce yourself. I mean, a lot of people here know you, but, there's probably some new folks in here.
240. 36:23Um, introduce yourself and then can you just give me a little like how I want to treat this as as if is like you and I
241. 36:30doing a private session and then I'll just do it publicly so people can see stuff, but could you just introduce
242. 36:35yourself and then, you know, just give us a little, you know, 411 on what notion is? >> Works for me and I won. so badly to do
243. 36:42that accent, but I just [laughter] >> valley girl. Oh, valley girl. Yeah, >> for sure. For sure. >> As close as we're gonna get. Um,
244. 36:53>> okay. [laughter] So, I'm Vicki Baptiste. Um, I work for a large insurance company by day as the enterprise search product owner. Um, but
245. 37:04I'm also heavily into AI as most [laughter] most of us here are. And I just like playing with tools and finding
246. 37:13that I really just need to go deep on tools rather than keep trying everything. But I'm doing my best to
247. 37:19keep myself contained. Um I did have a revelation about the three um areas or whatever it is that I sent Cindy an email about this morning.
248. 37:27>> Oh, good. The three themes. Yeah, I got my three themes. I'm excited. Yeah, it came up in something totally different I
249. 37:33was doing which was like um summarizing books but um and yeah, so notion has been [laughter] my my oh my god moment um for
250. 37:44>> that's not bad. That's pretty good. That's so good. >> I was in my head I was thinking the erm you know the whatever. Um yeah um
251. 37:54>> Peter B says not sure if I want my voice to change after installing notion. It just comes with it. It's a It's a natural benefit.
252. 38:02[laughter] >> It is. It could totally be your your vocal coach. Like, yeah. So, yeah, I just been putting everything
253. 38:11in Notion. And I have never been as organized as I have been since I um attended a um a training actually on on
254. 38:21notion um which I had installed the AI agent when it came out but hadn't really done anything with it other than ask a
255. 38:29few questions but now I know the power of it. Oh my god. Yeah. [laughter] So I don't know how like do you share
256. 38:37your screen and we disappear like two little heads or I'm not sure how works in here. >> Do it like this and then
257. 38:48>> Okay. So am I I'm going to notion.com or notion >> you are Oh you haven't even installed [laughter]
258. 38:54>> I thought I thought I had but I just went and looked at it. Notion >> I don't know where you get it from. I
259. 39:00just had it [laughter] for ages. I I thought I think I installed it at my machine at works. I haven't even
260. 39:06installed but Okay, so follow along. Just if you're like me [laughter] and you haven't even installed it like
261. 39:15like the horror in Vicky's voice. Wait, you haven't even installed it yet? [laughter] >> It's good. >> Is it like notion or something like
262. 39:23that? I don't know. >> Yeah, let me go. >> And there is the web version and there is the standalone version. So,
263. 39:30>> okay. And we want the standalone version, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. Get notion for free. And and one of the things that I will
264. 39:39tell you is that um one of the things that's frustrating about tools like notion is like this, Trello's like this, Slack is like this
265. 39:50to a degree. General purpose organizational tools require you to be organized in your setup. And I don't
266. 39:58know how notion is, but I know like you know if you don't if you don't know what your workflow is when you set up Trello,
267. 40:04it's just you end up just creating a mess. And so because they can do a lot of things, they're actually really hard
268. 40:10to learn because like getting started, here's the seven check boxes and then there's all this crap down the left and
269. 40:16then you go ask chat GPT about this and it tells you stuff and it's different than what you see. So I'm I feel really
270. 40:22lucky like Okay. All right. So here I am. >> Going to tell you you're not sharing your screen. Oh, fine. Tik Tok.
271. 40:30>> Vicki. Oh, Vicki. What does Notion do? Okay. Tell the good people what what notion does. Thank you for that.
272. 40:37>> What doesn't notion do? It doesn't make my coffee in the morning. That's about all. Um, it is a uh well, it's a
273. 40:45repository of everything you could possibly have in your head um in like pixel for what like you know in your computer.
274. 40:53>> But it also has like relational databases. So you can like link one thing to another thing. So I think it
275. 41:00will kind of like become apparent as we go along like what are as well. >> Okay. So I want to go notion desktop.
276. 41:09>> Um I would go to notion desktop. If if it will share if it won't share you might want to stick in.
277. 41:16>> I'll stop sharing my I'll I'll start sharing my whole screen so we can pop around and because I'm not sharing any
278. 41:21audio. We're not doing any song making. Chris, there is iOS notion. >> Oh, is there? Okay. >> Okay. Um, so let me go install
279. 41:35notion. Yeah. So, everybody follow along >> whether you want to or not because you're going to want to.
280. 41:43>> Yeah. Because you're going to want to. Hon honest to God I like I would not be putting myself through this if people
281. 41:51that I respect a lot that I know also are neurospicy and have ADHD all say that they love this like I wouldn't be
282. 41:59going through this if I haven't heard like a thousand times notion so good you gota you got to try it so good
283. 42:06>> it's so good oh my god all right so now notion now I have notion okay we're launching we're launching Open. You downloaded this off the
284. 42:17internet. Are you sure you want to open it? Yes. I'm sure I'm sure. [clears throat] >> Oh my god. [laughter]
285. 42:32I You know, I'd rather just you take all of my data and steal all of my money than have to go through another three-factor authentication.
286. 42:40[laughter] All right, here we are. Okay, now >> all right, >> now you are all where I am. This looks to me like chat GPT.
287. 42:50>> It does. It very much does. Um, what I'm going to do is like I'm sorry. >> Oh, why you're using it? That's what those questions were.
288. 43:02>> Um, what I'm going to do is like trying to help help you going to try to help you take that piece of paper that you
289. 43:08have with all your notes on it and put it So, I figure that might be what we where we might want to start. So, in your
290. 43:19>> Sorry, sorry to interrupt, but we we have some couple of uh one-on-one questions uh from the crowd and me because I'm playing along, too.
291. 43:27>> Is there a difference between the web app and the desktop app? >> Um, no. They're both the same. I mean,
292. 43:33you can do the same thing in both places. I just find it easier to work with the desktop app because that's where it it just
293. 43:42>> you I'm assuming you'll get the notifications on the desktop app if you have it running in the background versus
294. 43:47the web you have to have it open, right? >> Um you get notifications in both places, I believe. >> Gotcha. And then the other question that
295. 43:57came up uh was is everything that you're going to be covering today covered in the free plan of notion? Um, yes.
296. 44:06>> Wait, don't aren't I going to be subscribing to the AI version? >> Yes, but you do have a limited number.
297. 44:13See your little the little face down there in the bottom right hand corner? That's your AI that you can actually use to um
298. 44:21>> to set things up. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. >> About a rest. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. So, and
299. 44:31so I assume you're going to teach us how to use Notion AI that people seem to really dig in that.
300. 44:36>> Yeah. Oh my gosh. I just wanted I what I wanted to do was like to start with the manual stuff and then then say like
301. 44:41forget that. We'll just ask the >> Okay, good. Perfect. >> We'll do a couple of things manually so you can see how that works, but then see
302. 44:48how much easier it is with AI. >> All right. All right. Great. So, in your sidebar, I want you to um click like the
303. 44:57plus new page. I think it says there >> um >> I've got a new page here. >> Oh, yeah. That'll that'll work.
304. 45:09>> New page is up top. That plus there, right? The plus. >> Yeah. Yeah. Right. [laughter] >> Make this bigger. Oh, I can. Look, it's
305. 45:17just like black. Okay, great. So, now you can all see it a little better. Okay. All right. But I'm on a new page. Here's my new page. Right.
306. 45:23>> So, I want you to call it projects. >> Okay. >> And then right there where you are now, do a forward slash or backslash,
307. 45:34whatever it is. The one that goes this under the question mark. That's it. And type in table and go. Yeah. And add a table. >> Oh, okay.
308. 45:48>> And hang on. Wait a second. That's You know what? I'm following. It gave me instructions like because I'm like, "Yeah, I know how
309. 45:56to do this." Um, but that's not the right kind of table. So, click on the little way when you hover over the side
310. 46:01there, the little the dots. Yeah. So, get rid of that. [laughter] >> And what we actually want is a database.
311. 46:08So, um, yeah. So, type in database. Sorry. >> Oh, okay. >> And then full page. The full page. >> Okay. So in that database we are going
312. 46:21to um add sorry but we're going to do some basic properties. So the first one we're going to um where it says name there you can
313. 46:31just click on the name and we're going to call that in that box we're going to call that project. >> Okay.
314. 46:40>> And then in the next column or where it says add a column whatever we're going to do status. Okay.
315. 46:48>> And then the type. So go hang you. You hadn't finished there. Go back there and where it says change type. >> Y >> change that to status
316. 46:59there. >> It's already status. Sorry. Some of them come in automatically and some of them you have to change.
317. 47:04>> Um and then you want some options under status. So go back in there again. [laughter] And it says um where it says
318. 47:17oh they're already in there too. Not started in progress. Done. It's okay. We can leave those. >> Good. Great. >> The next one is going
319. 47:25>> not started. Oh. >> Next column is going to be owner. >> Okay. By the way, the what we're doing right now, this is like
320. 47:38the way that one of the ways to jumpstart learning stuff like this is when you have someone like Vicki that she's just
321. 47:45like, "Okay, name this column that, name this, that, name this, that." This would be like a week of you figuring out how
322. 47:51to use this, right? Like we've now got a full-on database here. All right. Okay. So, we've got >> So, the owner one, you can take change
323. 47:59that to person if it doesn't already say person where it says change type. >> No, sorry. Called it's still called
324. 48:05owner, but we're going to change the type. We're gonna we're going to check that the type is person. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. >> Nice.
325. 48:12>> Okay. And so, the next one is going to be dates. >> Okay. >> And it should automatically make that a date.
326. 48:23Um, select type date. Yep. And the last one is going to be priority. And then it's going to be the type.
327. 48:35>> I have an I have an idea. I've got Well, and this could be on another date, but I've got my my people centric project
328. 48:42management. I I have a feeling notion could be really cool for it. Anyway, >> yep. So, I go down to select.
329. 48:49>> Well, wait. In dates. Wait, wait, what was I just did? >> Yeah. Uh, priority was the one you just did. It might have got
330. 48:56>> Yeah. Try that again. Might have disappeared. Priority. And the type is going to be select. >> Okay.
331. 49:04>> And the options are going to be low, medium, and high. Edit property. Yep. Edit. And then see where it says add an option. >> Yeah.
332. 49:13>> You can add low, enter, medium, enter, high, enter. >> Okay. And you can change all the colors and stuff later, but for now we'll just
333. 49:25we'll just work with that. >> So that is your um that is your what did we do? Projects database. >> Right. >> Okay. Now
334. 49:36>> now I'm going to put those projects inside three themes. Could I could I make a theme a theme column as well?
335. 49:42>> Yeah, you can make whatever columns you want >> themes in there. So, I'm going to put theme and then I'm going to do a select
336. 49:50menu and then I'm going to do edit property add option. So, theme one is monetizable content. And by the way, why is
337. 50:03monetizable always misspelled? Is it not actually a word? >> I don't know. I thought it was a word.
338. 50:10>> I think it's not actually a word or it's it's not in the spelling dictionaries. Okay. Monetizable. um uh people um uh
339. 50:24people I don't know how to what to call this uh centered projects. I'll figure that out later. And then the other one is um AI amplified
340. 50:39social media or no, let's call it AI amplified marketing because social media will be one part of that. All right, there's my
341. 50:49three there's my three themes. So now my project's going to all have a theme, right? >> Yep. >> Nice. >> Okay, so now you're going to need
342. 50:57another new page. Okay, >> we're going to do the same thing and we're going to make your Hang on. >> Which is the first Should I put a
343. 51:08project in here? >> Oh, you can put one in there to start if you like. Sure. Yep, you can. And it doesn't have to be real. You can just
344. 51:15put in like, you know, placeholder content. >> No, actually that's really good. Clear single message.
345. 51:22I know what that means. Oh, and then but then I have to go through and I have to go uh it's No, it's not start. You may
346. 51:28not need the owner content like you know unless you're going to bring other people into your >> Oh, I see. >> into your thing. But
347. 51:35>> and what's dates? What are what do you put in for dates? >> The date you can put a start and an end date. So if you like
348. 51:41>> Oh, I see. Start date. And then Yeah. Then you can click the end date and it will give you a range. >> Oh, cool. Okay.
349. 51:48>> You can either have like a you know a a due date or you can have like the whole range. >> Okay. Cool. Got it. Beautiful. Okay. So,
350. 51:57I did new page and it gave me a new row, right? >> Yes. So, there are other things you can do in here, but for for now, we're just going
351. 52:06to build the tasks database. So, the same thing. Another new page. >> Oh, wait. A new page. >> Yeah, not new database. You want a new
352. 52:18page there. So, it should be in the >> here. There you go. Create a new page. Okay. >> Called tasks. >> Oh, so wait. So, so just to be clear
353. 52:30down here on the left, that projects thing I created is now another >> Oh, yeah. >> And oh, and oh, so, so this is a
354. 52:38question I have. These things down here, getting started, quick note, personal home, task list. This is them just prepopulating
355. 52:45one of the things that we just made. >> They're just giving you ideas of like where you can start. So, you can
356. 52:50>> So, you you can kill all these [clears throat] if you want. Like, if you want it to be totally custom, you
357. 52:53can kill them. Have you killed yours? Is yours all custom over here? >> Well, mine don't look anything like that. [laughter]
358. 52:59>> Okay, I think I am going to move to I'm just going to kill them because one of one of my problems with software like
359. 53:08this is they give you these ideas and then I'm like if I don't do them I'm like at some point I've got to do a
360. 53:13journal, you know, and it's just it ends up being like a delete databases. >> Yeah, we're going to create a new one. So, >> yeah,
361. 53:23journal. Actually, no. The journal. No, you know what? The journal I should do on human paper reading list. No, I don't read. I have ADD.
362. 53:34>> I [laughter] don't either. >> Okay. Okay. Cool. All right. Great. So, now we've got projects and now we have a
363. 53:40new page. We're on the new page. Okay. >> Right. So, what you can do here is we can actually start using the AI agent if
364. 53:46you like. Okay. Um, and so if you see in the column, your left hand column towards the top there, there is a a
365. 53:54little thing that says notion AI. >> Yeah, >> this is where you can actually um change change it. So here you can change the
366. 54:03model that you use. So go back up go back up there. So if you actually use it to ask a question there, like see where
367. 54:09it says auto at the bottom of that thing. Um, that went Yeah. So, you can use that to select. >> Um, or you can use
368. 54:17>> Are you using Opus 4.5? >> I just use auto because then it picks whatever's best. >> Oh, okay. Cool. Yeah, that's good.
369. 54:24>> And those are your connectors, too. So, you can connect to any of those things that you see the icons for in the bottom
370. 54:29there. But what you can also do in here is um give your um your agent a name and a personality. So at the top right where
371. 54:40it says personalize. >> Yeah. >> You can change its little hat and it change. So the little icons at the bottom are like little hats.
372. 54:47>> Oh, nice. >> And like so you know if you put the crown on it will act like royalty and if you put the Santa hat on it wants to
373. 54:55grant you wishes and stuff like that. So >> wizard. Okay. >> We're gonna call >> Give it a name. >> This is tough. Give me Give me a a good
374. 55:05wizard name. Vicki, you're you're nerdy like that. >> Harry, [laughter] >> you're a wizard. Harry. >> Oh, Harry. I thought you said Ari.
375. 55:16>> I said Harry. [laughter] >> I don't know. I'm no good with names. I just called. >> We're gonna go Hank. We're call
376. 55:24>> and you can change it again. You can change it later. Um, and oh wait, you haven't finished yet. Go back.
377. 55:31>> You can set up instructions. So you can just like your instructions that you have in chat GPT, you can use those.
378. 55:38>> Or you can have it act like any of those things or you know browse templates and all that. >> I'll do sidekick for now. Oh, I didn't
379. 55:45want to click on that. >> So yeah. So it'll tell you what the instructions are and and we can see. All
380. 55:52right. So now go back to We didn't set up the other page yet, did we? Go. You can click. >> The problem with Kyle looking at notion
381. 56:04is he's not looking at my sticky notes. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Steer say Merlin, but that's too that's too everyone would come up with Merlin.
382. 56:12I wanted a different kind of wizard. >> So, Hank >> is the obvious second choice there. Future food on YouTube also has a question for
383. 56:20>> Wait, what's that? Future food. Um, add a add a new page inside projects or separate. Is that a question?
384. 56:30Oh, the if you're adding the new the next page to add the tasks, it would be it's a separate new page, not inside
385. 56:35projects. But we're going to Oh, look. You have two AI agents. Oh, no. There you go. We're going to go into projects,
386. 56:43though, and we're going to use the agent. So, click on the little agent button down there. >> Where's all my data?
387. 56:49>> Where did your project? >> Where did [laughter] your projects database go? Oh, hang on. Is it Is it
388. 56:56Click on new database? Is that where it is? Well, that's weird. Oh, just call that project. See where it says new database
389. 57:04at the top? Just call that projects and we'll we'll tidy it up later. >> Okay. I might not have hit save or something like that.
390. 57:12>> This is for a postmortem. [laughter] Hope not. >> Really? >> Unfortunate. He was doing so well, [laughter] >> right? [gasps] um
391. 57:24>> projects. >> Okay. So, yeah. So, now hit your AI agent in the bottom right hand corner. >> Okay.
392. 57:32>> And you can use voice prompt or whatever and ask it ask it to set up the tasks database. Um I was I have instructions here. I don't
393. 57:48will it hear me if I say the instructions? I want you to set up a tasks database >> and >> more than that. >> Um, let me see with
394. 58:01uh so the columns should be task status due date and assigned to. >> Hang on. Let me I'm going to turn on
395. 58:09voice right now and then you just say that same thing again. We'll see if it can hear it. >> Okay. The columns should be task status
396. 58:18due date. It's not hearing it, is it? >> I can't hear you at all. Okay. I couldn't hear you at all. It It ate the audio. It ate your audio.
397. 58:27>> Okay. Wait. So, what are the columns? >> Task, status, due date, and assigned to. >> The columns are task, status, due date,
398. 58:44and assigned to. And the task database should be related to the project database. >> And the task database should be related
399. 59:01to the project database. >> Okay. >> And let it do its thing. >> Let it do its thing.
400. 59:17I've created task tasks title title due date assigned to and project the relationship to your existing. So if for
401. 59:25those of you on the outside looking in if you've never done any databases related relational databases are really
402. 59:32powerful where you have these different sort of tables of information that understand what's in the other and they
403. 59:37can be really powerful. So we're doing relational database programming here without doing rel relational database
404. 59:43programming here. Yes. Is that right Vicki? >> Yes, we are. Yeah. And it looks like it's in that. So if you go to that top
405. 59:50level projects page >> just the top. Yeah. It's in there. >> So you can click on that database >> and now you can add a task and you can
406. 1:00:03relate it to the project that you created previously. Okay. So, let's see. A task might be set up notion and then
407. 1:00:17>> then your status could be whatever >> uh in progress because we're doing it right now. >> And then I'm going to uh Oh, select a page.
408. 1:00:28>> So, yeah, where you had the um related little related part there. Uhhuh. >> Go back. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
409. 1:00:42>> That and then that's now related to that project. So if you go back to your projects, you should see that task in that project.
410. 1:00:51>> Got it. >> Okay. So now click on the open next to that there and you can see that there is no task in there. Oh, that's
411. 1:01:03because we haven't set up the combine board yet. >> So, but if you say um if you go back to your AI agent and say for every
412. 1:01:17project needs a combine board, but it won't understand combine. So, you have to type that in because it gives you all kind of weird words.
413. 1:01:27>> Yeah. And how do you how do you That's kan >> k. Yep. Um, every project needs a
414. 1:01:44board. >> Okay. >> Then it will remember that. So then now every time that you create a new project, it will automatically put your
415. 1:01:57conbon board in there. So when you add tasks, it will like start them off in the not started column. >> Okay.
416. 1:02:06>> Okay. So now open that one again. So now it hasn't done it. That's not a good little bot. >> Absolutely. I've added a combine board
417. 1:02:17view to your projects database group by status owner invisible on each card. >> But it's not. I wonder if it put it in
418. 1:02:26the top. We said in the projects though, open that project once more. Yeah. No, right next to the word there. Okay. So, oh it's Oh, it's put
419. 1:02:42them in the Okay. >> So, >> is it because this was called projects? So, we need do we need to say should this
420. 1:02:52because here we've got a label of projects, but it's also called projects. So maybe we should call this something different.
421. 1:02:57>> I would call that So mine's called my command center. So you can like call it like Kyle's control board or
422. 1:03:03>> control board. That's good. And then look what I can do because I'm smart. Kyle's control board with a K. See that? [laughter]
423. 1:03:11>> No, but hang on. You're renaming the wrong one. That's that's still projects. You need to go up one level. >> Projects again.
424. 1:03:20>> So wait, call this projects. >> Yeah. And then see like above there where it says projects. Projects. Click
425. 1:03:25on the first project. There you go. That's the one that should be called Kyle's control board. >> Control board. Okay, this is good. Okay,
426. 1:03:33let me just tell you. So, first of all, Vicki, thank you for doing this. Second of all, if I were trying to set this up on my
427. 1:03:40own, I would have quit. Oh, I don't know. How long have we been doing this? 20 minutes, 15 minutes ago. I would have
428. 1:03:48bailed on this. In fact, I've tried to set up notion now three different times. So, [laughter] So, thank you for doing that. Okay.
429. 1:03:58>> Yeah, I would say there like I would again tell the AI agent the the combine board or or the table or whatever
430. 1:04:06because it starts off with a table and then the table like morphs into a the combine board is a different view of the
431. 1:04:11table. So I would say that the like the combon board should be inside each project, not at the top level
432. 1:04:29list view. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Oh yeah, I can see where this having this AI in here is super powerful because
433. 1:04:40if you like set this up and you did it wrong, you're like, "Oh my god, I gotta go in and now do that for every one of these."
434. 1:04:46>> Yeah, I would stop. Okay, >> it has given me like at times when it's done things. Yes. What is What does that
435. 1:04:53mean? Is that a joke, Brandon, or is that an actual question? Tik Tok pin. I didn't see it. Oh, I got invited to another person's
436. 1:05:05notion. Is that a thing? >> Yes. >> Yes. Okay. >> Yep. Um >> Oh, go back in. So, let's see if it did it right.
437. 1:05:18>> Open. We still don't have it. >> No. What did it say though in the It It said something in the thing that it
438. 1:05:24hadn't done it or in the project page body type linked for link view of the database. No, you don't want to link it. What is
439. 1:05:32it talking about? Um, after that, every project page. >> Oh, how to put a conbon inside each project. Wait, >> I'm gonna say no.
440. 1:05:42>> No, I want you to do it. [laughter] >> You to set up my conbon boards. And what does conbon stand for again?
441. 1:05:52>> It's just a word that means conbon. It's probably one of those Japanese words like ekagay which has been bastardized
442. 1:06:00into the English language. >> I see >> what you I think what it might do is just like delete the ones that are
443. 1:06:11already there and um set up new ones. And I've had t times when it will say, "Okay, I'm deleting this." And like,
444. 1:06:21"Oh, no. It asks you to authorize pages that it's deleting." And I'm like, "But wait, I want you to make sure that
445. 1:06:27you're not deleting stuff that I need." >> Yeah. >> Wait, what's this say? I can't I can set up combons at the project database
446. 1:06:36level, and I already did. What you're asking for is now different. a combine embedded inside every individual project
447. 1:06:44page filtered by projects. I don't have the tools to configure database page templates and layouts. >> It does because it does mine. I would
448. 1:06:54just delete the ones that are there currently and then [laughter] >> delete that over. >> So, um let's see. Oh, from the table because
449. 1:07:05the view >> here delete this thing. Yeah, delete the view and then delete the table. Yep. >> Delete this view. And where's the table?
450. 1:07:17>> It's right next to it. Yeah, >> I can't delete it. >> Um, let's see. I wonder if you can drag it down into that um project.
451. 1:07:30>> Nope. Okay, then I would just ask it to [sighs] set up >> link to view. No, I would just like so click into the project and ask it to set
452. 1:07:43up a combine board in there and in every future. I thought we had done that, but anyway, >> that's a and I don't even know what a
453. 1:07:52combon board is. Is it like Trello? >> Yes. Yeah. But so your your tasks will all live in a table, right? So we've set up the task table.
454. 1:08:05And so you want to view the task table inside the project, but it's going to be filtered to that project. So, it starts
455. 1:08:16out with um a table that will show you like and and this it'll get like more confusing the more projects you have,
456. 1:08:23but it will start out with a table with like every task in there and you just filter it to the tasks that belong to
457. 1:08:29that project and then you then you ask it for the combine view. >> All right, here's what I want to know.
458. 1:08:36When does this get cool? because right now it's sucking >> and the setup is a little [laughter] it's monotonous but like once you get
459. 1:08:45it, you know, working and then see >> kind of thing where where like if I like set it up and I want to change
460. 1:08:54things, is it relatively easy to change things? Oh, >> yeah. >> I guess AI it is, right? >> Yeah. [sighs and gasps]
461. 1:09:00>> I set up a combon board inside clear single message. Great. >> Okay. So now click in the into clear single message, >> right?
462. 1:09:09>> There it is. All right. Okay. So now you should see where it says setup notion. Okay. >> Yeah. Okay. Cool.
463. 1:09:16>> Cool. And it should be filtered to that one. >> I can add I can add add a new page is like adding a task.
464. 1:09:24>> Yes. So that's where you add your tasks and um just you know just track them in and you can move those around because
465. 1:09:31like to me done should be at the end. >> So hang on. This is really important. So, if I go to Kyle's control panel, I
466. 1:09:37can go into tasks and I can add a task. >> You can add a task in there and >> I don't have to because I can go back to
467. 1:09:44this. I can go into projects and I can go into >> create a a clear single message. Y >> and now right within here I can I can
468. 1:09:52just add it context sensit or context sensitive. >> Yes. And you can drag the um order of those columns too because to me like I
469. 1:10:01said done should come last. done shouldn't be first. >> Yeah. Really? >> Yeah. So, you can just drag them along and they will move.
470. 1:10:08>> Oh, that's cool. >> So, it where this becomes important to me is like I often think of things as I'm driving. So, I have notion open
471. 1:10:17while I'm driving and I put just pull up the agent and say create a task in whatever you know whatever project
472. 1:10:25>> and yeah and it'll just add it while I'm driving. >> I quit. Jim Jim [laughter] Ross I quit. >> [laughter] >> And andy's like monotony
473. 1:10:39cutting the limes. Exactly. This is totally cutting the limes. But this is okay for for for those of you that are
474. 1:10:46like Kyle, what what are you doing? I I agree with you. Like this is the the the purpose of a daily practice is to
475. 1:11:02for me is to is to put enough structure around [sighs] understanding what I want to accomplish and taking regular action toward that so
476. 1:11:18so that I can work through this awful stuff because at some point the awful stuff becomes less awful, right? As you get through it, but
477. 1:11:26>> right, >> but with previous AI learning lab, what I would do is I would I would get to this point and I do this on this channel
478. 1:11:33a lot. If you've been here a lot, you know I do this. I'll get to something and I get to some sort of icky part and
479. 1:11:37I'm like, "Hey, you know what' be cool? Let's go over to Sunno and make a a hip-hop song and and it gets it it's
480. 1:11:44getting gets me out of the the bind every time, but I don't actually progress my life." Okay. Tik Tok pin
481. 1:11:50conbon. Oh, here we go. Is a Japanese word that I just lost it. Is a Japanese word that literally means signboard or
482. 1:11:58visual card. Cool. Love it. >> Okay. So, what what what next? Thinky Baptiste. >> So, what I also have in mine is um like
483. 1:12:10a to-do. Yeah. Like a daily task list. So you can have at the top of like all of my well it would be like your Kyle's
484. 1:12:20control board at the top of that I have it show me what tasks are due today. So you're not overwhelmed if you have like
485. 1:12:30you know a million tasks you're not overwhelmed because you're only looking at the tasks for that one day. So, um,
486. 1:12:37again, you can ask the AI or or we can >> So, is that >> is that a subset of this or is it a new? >> No, it's a whole new thing. And so, you
487. 1:12:48yours are spaces. So, you have like a space in between projects and tasks. So, if you just delete
488. 1:12:54>> Yeah, you can just like if you um do the three the that thing with the six dots on the left hand side is the >> Oh, no, no, hang on.
489. 1:13:04Wait a second. Um, we're going to ask the AI to do it because [laughter] >> Oh, wait. >> That's what I wanted you to do was like
490. 1:13:12get rid of the space because it's like, you know, >> um, we're going to say at the >> um at the top of the page, show me my
491. 1:13:20to-do list for or I'll just say show me my to-do list and then we can look at the different views >> at the top of which page at this page.
492. 1:13:31>> Yeah, it's it's basically works with the page that it's on. See, it says right at the top there, it says Kyle's control
493. 1:13:36board. So, it knows you're on that page. Oh, >> okay. Got it. At the top of the page, show me my what? >> To-do list
494. 1:13:44or or show me the tasks that are due this week. Whatever. >> An excellent teacher. She is.
495. 1:14:00That was right after the comment monotony. So just you know to to keep you humble Vicki. [laughter]
496. 1:14:07>> Oh dear. Okay. So that's your to-do list is filtered on your task. >> No. Wait, hang on a sec. Maybe you need
497. 1:14:13a few quick dopamine hits before this long task. No, you know, [laughter] I mean I mean part of this is I I this I think becomes I I think I
498. 1:14:27think if if we do this right, shifting the AI learning lab into my daily practice, if I can not succumb to to [laughter]
499. 1:14:39my dopamine addiction and just say like because some nights some days we're going to do stuff in here, it's going to
500. 1:14:44be an absolute blast. But but the whole part of the practice is sometimes you just need to cut the limes as as Andy
501. 1:14:50says she used to work in the restaurant business and sometimes you just got to stand there and cut a bucket of limes
502. 1:14:55and that's just the deal. Um no the chopwood carry water was about monotony. Ah Vicki being an excellent teacher
503. 1:15:03stands on its own. [laughter] That's awesome. Okay. Um >> so if you click on that where you have to-do list you click on that that is
504. 1:15:12like a a version of the task list. But if you click on that. >> Yeah. >> And then you can see so you can see all
505. 1:15:19tasks or by status or whatever. But if you click at the end of that there should be a plus button. And so click on um
506. 1:15:28let's say click on table. So we're going to do still do another table but we're going to filter it by like
507. 1:15:36this week or today. So at the little So that is highlighted as a new view. You can call it I call it this week and
508. 1:15:44we'll work on like we'll put in like I'll show you how to Yeah. Right there. Sorry. >> This week >> because you can't see my cursor
509. 1:15:51pointing, can you? [laughter] >> See the the little um inverted triangle to the right of that. Um no, in line
510. 1:16:00with this week at the top there. Okay. Click filter and then add due date. And your due date you can say oh it says
511. 1:16:10this week. It's already there. >> Great. >> So, that's going to now be filtered by whatever's due this week. And then you
512. 1:16:16can add another one that could just be like today or you could add >> I should be like um due this week, right? Is the
513. 1:16:27>> No, just like it will it shows like all tasks and it depends on the view that you're looking at. So, I would
514. 1:16:32>> So, I see this week is the this is the view here. Got it. >> Right. And then you can Yeah. So I have mine filtered but I can view
515. 1:16:42all tasks. I can do view all tasks um except those that are done um that are marked done and like you can you can
516. 1:16:50have like all different configurations. So you can you could view like all the tasks that are not started or all the
517. 1:16:58ones that are in progress or like whatever kind of like filter you want to put on there. You can create a different view for each of those.
518. 1:17:06>> Okay. So it does it looks more impressive if you have more tasks in there, but you get the idea, right? [laughter]
519. 1:17:12>> Yeah. But how do I what why what's the difference between this task and this task? None. >> Well, no, but there those are just like
520. 1:17:21your um so the projects and the tasks I actually have those in on like a separate page that's like not near here
521. 1:17:30kind of thing because they are things that you should never delete by mistake. And I find that if I have things in
522. 1:17:39front of me, like I can do weird things to them that I'm not supposed to do. So once you've got them kind of like set up
523. 1:17:46and going a little bit, you don't actually need to touch those specific databases because you just go into the
524. 1:17:52different views that you have and you can add a project from there or you can add a task from there or like I said
525. 1:17:58while you're driving you can just tell the agent to do it. [laughter] Um, Pavin, as a project manager, I can
526. 1:18:05say project management can get boring. Thank you. Thank you. I feel seen. Okay. So, so now let me I I think I'm sort of
527. 1:18:14getting this, but this to me right now is just feeling like, okay, so I have a fancy a fancy to-do list manager that is
528. 1:18:24going to require me to configure and invent a new way to manage tasks, which ain't going to solve anything, but
529. 1:18:32it sounds like there's so much more that can be done here. So, so what is the what's the next step for
530. 1:18:40like like um I hear Cindy [ __ ] and Kelly Camp talking all the time about I just take notes and I dump it into into
531. 1:18:47notion. Where are they dumping it? Is that some different database that they've created? Like what's the this is
532. 1:18:52the task to-do part. How do we add something like now I want to I don't know. Oh, I let's take a good example.
533. 1:19:00So if I go to my projects my project is >> I want to clear single message. What this is is um I want across all of my projects I want
534. 1:19:12me to personally have a single thing that I say that everything else comes out of. So it might be like you know
535. 1:19:20humans humans are at the center you know humans are amplified by AI and Sydney that looks like this and for storyvine
536. 1:19:29it looks like this and for you you know what I mean so so so I'm going to be doing lots of work like kind of reverse
537. 1:19:36engineering out of all my projects you know what's that single message so where do I store all those notes or what would that look like
538. 1:19:44>> um so okay so click onto that project click open Okay. >> You can like go down underneath your your combine board
539. 1:19:53>> and um I would no down even further. >> Does it let you click down there? >> Okay. >> So, if you do a backslash and page, it
540. 1:20:04will open a new page for you. So, if like depending on how you want to organize your notes, then just go enter.
541. 1:20:11Okay. So, now you can start like a new note on a new page. Like if that was going to be like your Sydney, you like a
542. 1:20:16note about Sydney or whatever, >> um you can type Sydney and then you can start typing notes, notes, notes, notes,
543. 1:20:23notes. Um and you can, you know, give them tags and all kinds of different things. So if you like if you want to organize
544. 1:20:35those things on separate pages in there or you can have another database within your clear single message project. It's
545. 1:20:42like you can put databases in databases. You can put pages in there. You can I just realized my light's gone out and I
546. 1:20:49look really dark. I'm sorry. [laughter] >> Really dark. That's okay. >> My light goes out like as a signal that it's time to
547. 1:20:55>> if I go in here, how would I do a database within here? Like if I wanted to do a database of or or no, what if I wanted to do [snorts]
548. 1:21:06go out to the control board. >> I'm gonna do a new thing here. Right. So, I'm going to do this is going to be like um let's see. Uh
549. 1:21:21um how about raw concepts? And then how do I edit this? >> Oh, like to add. So, you would need to um
550. 1:21:38>> How do I change what it is? up there. Turn into >> Yeah, >> I want to turn it into a database, not just a label.
551. 1:21:48>> Oh, that's going to need a new um you would go like so take out real concepts. >> Okay, I'll just delete it.
552. 1:21:56>> And then do backslash database. >> Oh. Oh, I see. I got it. Okay. Ah, okay. Database. [cough] And then here I might have
553. 1:22:11so wait new database. This is going to be raw concepts. [clears throat] And then these are the columns of the database, right?
554. 1:22:25>> Yep. >> So it' be like um title. >> Hang on. Sorry. The the name is like if you that's oh right >> that's like the first row. Oh, name.
555. 1:22:39Yes. So, wait. So, let's change that to um title. And then I do add property and I'd be like [snorts] um summary.
556. 1:22:53And [clears throat] then I would do like Oh, that didn't do that. [snorts] Summary. And then I would do like um raw content.
557. 1:23:06And then I would do [clears throat] um I'm going to connect it to another database, right? >> Um nope, not yet.
558. 1:23:21Unless you're this is going to live inside either or, you know, or you're having tasks inside. If I want to if if like I've got raw
559. 1:23:29concepts and I want to throw some raw concepts in here and I I paste the raw concept into that field
560. 1:23:39>> and then I want that raw concept to be attached to this project. >> Oh, you need to relate it then. >> Yeah.
561. 1:23:47>> So you would so you can have like another you add another column and then in that column you could you add like
562. 1:23:54the relate. It's down there somewhere. relation. >> Yeah. >> And then it right >> usually two-way relation I think is what I usually do.
563. 1:24:08>> Okay. >> Unless you only want out one way. >> Okay. And then I let's say um go is there a way for me to if I
564. 1:24:23if I paste raw content into here? >> Mhm. >> Is there a way for it to automatically summarize it? Um I would do that on a page.
565. 1:24:37So, um, yeah, I would start a new page, but you can do that within. So, what is your first column there? >> Uh, title.
566. 1:24:51>> It's just that it's like, you know, if you put like a ton of um information into one cell, it just like looks really weird.
567. 1:24:59>> Yeah. Oh, it makes it giant. >> Yeah. >> Oh, so maybe doing it this way is bad. All right. >> Yes. But if you um so whatever you want
568. 1:25:08to call that raw concept you can like put that in the like put the title of the raw concept in the first thing and then o then you open it
569. 1:25:17and you would put all your raw content in there. >> Ah okay. So so I should kill this right. Delete. >> Oh yeah yeah yeah.
570. 1:25:29>> Delete propert one. Yeah. And then yeah, then give it a name and then just open that up cuz each thing
571. 1:25:37that lives like that lives each row basically >> 20 um name ideas, whatever. That's the that's the thing. >> Yeah.
572. 1:25:48>> And then I open that up and now here's a page, right? >> Yeah. So that's where you would put like your raw content.
573. 1:25:55>> And then I can add multiple pages here. >> Yeah, you can add as many pages as you like. >> Okay. pages within pages within pages.
574. 1:26:04>> Powerful, but I can also see why people like Jim are like, I'm done. I'm and I'm out. >> But I tell you what's also really cool
575. 1:26:11though. So, if you go if you click out of there and you go back like to your main control board. >> I just noticed that Fabiana just
576. 1:26:18purchased the AI salon mastermind. Thank you, Fabiana. That's awesome. >> Um, >> click back. I just want to show you
577. 1:26:25something that's really cool. >> Okay, >> back back to there. Okay. Now go up to so the little thing at the top that
578. 1:26:33shows you your sidebar in the >> next. Yeah, that's it. Okay. Click on meetings. >> Okay. >> So you in there you can go see click on new.
579. 1:26:47>> Okay. >> And you can start recording this meeting. Right. And it so there and it starts recording and like once it's
580. 1:26:58done. Oh. Oh, you need to set up something. But oh, you can do that later. But what it does, it it will record the meeting and then when the
581. 1:27:10meeting's finished and you click stop recording, it will then give you a summary of the meeting along with the transcript. >> Oh, cool.
582. 1:27:19>> Then you can dump those raw notes into your raw notes file and [laughter] and then relate it to a project. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
583. 1:27:30All right. We're We're Is it taking notes? >> Oh, resume. And it'll keep going. So, yeah. Resume. And it won't stop until
584. 1:27:40you tell it to stop. And then after it stops, then it will it will summarize it for you. >> Oh, yeah. And then this is now Kyle talking.
585. 1:27:49>> Yeah. >> Yeah. Does it break things up into talker A, talker B? >> No, it just literally records every word.
586. 1:28:02>> This is where So, future of food right there with you. This is where I want to throw my laptop out the window. This is
587. 1:28:07awesome. So, there's a couple of things here. What we're learning, I'm going to stop the transcription right now. Like,
588. 1:28:13we're learning multiple things at the same time. like you're simultaneously learning what notion is.
589. 1:28:22If you don't know what databases are and how relational databases work conceptually, you're you're learning
590. 1:28:27that concept. You're also learning how you think about how you want to organize projects, which there's an infinite
591. 1:28:35number of ways you can organize projects, right? So, so like what we're doing right now is is like five or six
592. 1:28:41cognitive tasks that all require focus, but we're trying to do them all at the same time. That's why these these
593. 1:28:50programs are so daunting because it's not a single thing that you're setting up. It's it's like you're trying to
594. 1:28:56anticipate, well, how would I organize information if I weren't such an disorganized nightmare of a human, right? [laughter] You know,
595. 1:29:07>> and this is why we have AI agent because it can just do it. It it like it will suggest like the optimum way to do
596. 1:29:14something like it. Yeah. >> So, so let's use may maybe use Well, so so wait, let me let me ask you something. How are we doing on time? How
597. 1:29:24are you doing on time and energy? >> Me? Oh, I'm okay. I just got to get up in five hours. No, I'm kidding. I'm [laughter]
598. 1:29:32good. Okay, we'll go for another like 15 minutes or so. >> Okay. >> What makes the like this might be a kind
599. 1:29:38of thing maybe we come back to this, but I like I feel like there's there's setting this up and then they're sort of
600. 1:29:43populating it with concepts like getting stuff off my piece of paper. Right. >> Right. >> Um but but do we want to like if um like
601. 1:29:53at this point does it make sense to populate um to go into projects and populate all the projects? like what makes the most sense.
602. 1:30:03>> I do them as they come along. So, you know, as I as I want to work on something, I will add it. Um, and if I
603. 1:30:10find a task that doesn't belong to a project, I'll add the task and then invent a project that it goes into.
604. 1:30:15>> It is like actually I know this is kind of stupid because I I'm now realizing a clear single message is probably more
605. 1:30:22like a to-do underneath a larger project. >> Okay. >> Right. But like Sydney's a project, right? >> Yep. And then and then this plus to the
606. 1:30:33left here. Is that the same as new page here? >> Hang on. I got my thing above your [laughter] sorry the plus. Yeah. So new page there.
607. 1:30:44Yeah. >> Are these the same? >> That's a new page within the project. >> Wait, this is a new >> database. Sorry.
608. 1:30:53>> Like it would be the same as if I did this and put it over here. So each of those lines although it just
609. 1:30:59looks like a row in a database. Each row is a new page. >> Okay. The pages thing I don't quite get yet.
610. 1:31:07>> Yeah. Everything's a page. Everything lives in a page. >> But like Sydney the musical is a project, right? >> Yeah.
611. 1:31:15>> So then AI Salon would be a project. >> Um >> stop because you're only allowed three. Cindy's watching. [laughter] >> What's that?
612. 1:31:24>> I said stop. You're only allowed three because Cindy's watching. >> Oh, yeah. No, I know. Well, no, I've got
613. 1:31:29because these are the these are but but within so like AI salon or or like Sydney is a good example. So,
614. 1:31:37if I go So, Sydney has started. It's in progress. >> Um, and if I go to the right here, um, I can put this under that's monetizable content.
615. 1:31:48>> I can throw it. So, so Cindy, my themes are here. I've only got three themes. See the three? That's it.
616. 1:31:55And I assume that we could create a theme view, right? So I could >> Absolutely. Yes. So >> I I can say to my little dude here, um,
617. 1:32:03hey, you know what? You know what? What do I call him? You know what, Hank? [laughter] >> Hank is good because you can change his
618. 1:32:14personality. Like he doesn't always have to be a wiz wizard called Hank. >> Yeah, that's good. >> Hey, you know what, Hank? Um,
619. 1:32:23I think it would be swell if I had a view and I'm view might not be the right word, but that's okay. Let's use
620. 1:32:36the wrong word if if that's right. If it would be so if I had a view that organized my projects by theme. See if it figures it out.
621. 1:32:53Are you finding that it tends to be really good at at figuring stuff out like that? >> Yes, it's it's put it in there already by theme.
622. 1:33:02>> Hey, Kyle, I like that idea. Oh, yeah. By theme up here. >> Yeah. >> So, if I go by theme, look, Cindy, [laughter] look, [gasps]
623. 1:33:15there they are. And I actually love the colors. it it does do well with colors. >> Okay. So, and then if I go to table. All
624. 1:33:24right. So, there's AI salon. So, here's AI learning lab. And then if I want to move these, I assume I can just drag them around, right?
625. 1:33:37>> Yes, absolutely. >> Here we go. Story vine. Um, let's see. I find so I think some of the things you have as projects like I
626. 1:33:47would put those like I have a client list. So you might have like different projects under storyvine or so I think
627. 1:33:56like for me like storyvine would be like more like a client but it not necessarily named client but do you know
628. 1:34:02what I mean if you have like big projects and like little projects under your >> Yeah. How do I do a sub project under story vibe?
629. 1:34:12Um I'm well I'm thinking like it might be like what I have as clients you might call as something else. It's like it's almost like um
630. 1:34:22[sighs] I don't even know what you call them. So you have like story viney stuff and then you would have like AI salon
631. 1:34:28stuff because you have AI salon isn't one project because you have like um mastermind and you have whatever and then
632. 1:34:36>> actually yeah AI learning lab >> roll it up >> is a part of that. Yeah, I would. Or or you could call it like top level project
633. 1:34:45versus projects. So >> that would basically just be another table. >> How about business areas? So storybine, AI learning lab, AI salon
634. 1:35:00because feed your prompt is part of Kyle Enterprises. So maybe have Kyle enterprise. [laughter] I don't you know. >> Yeah.
635. 1:35:12That would almost be like the level that I use for clients. So I have myself as a client and I also have like Vicki
636. 1:35:19personal as a client, but it just that's just where it drops into place. >> Okay. So yeah. So so Sydney Sydney
637. 1:35:26standalone because that's going to have projects underneath it like here's the here's the workshop and here's the this and that.
638. 1:35:32>> AI salon I think is a master. AI learning lab is probably not a master. This is probably a sub. So, I'm kill. Yeah,
639. 1:35:40>> delete that. Storybine's a master. Feed your prompt. I think I'm going to get rid of book here because book is a
640. 1:35:47project underneath feed your prompt. Actually, I could call this to market media, which is the the I don't even know what they are.
641. 1:35:59They're a marketing organization. They're my partner that I'm writing all this stuff for. Okay. And then what else do I have? Oh, then
642. 1:36:09I've got Oh, underneath. No, no. So, now I've got um the practice engine LLC is the forprofit arm of the salon. That
643. 1:36:24doesn't ex Well, the LLC exists, but we haven't figured it out. Content evolution. Yep, that's a good one.
644. 1:36:35And then you could make that relatable to your other like to your projects database >> content evolution collab and then wait
645. 1:36:47make this relatable to what >> to your projects. So now so you've changed projects to business area correct. So now you need a projects.
646. 1:36:56>> Just ask Hank to create a projects database [laughter] that's that's relatable to the business areas >> and the tasks. >> Hank. Hank.
647. 1:37:07Um you're swell. Uh Hank, you're swell. Um >> I just keep thinking Mr. Hanky. [laughter] >> I created a
648. 1:37:21business area. um database. And now need a projects database where the projects
649. 1:37:37are related or are Oh, it's okay. I'm I'm just going to say it in a dumb dumb way. If you're feeling dumb dumb right
650. 1:37:45now about all this, so am I. So that's okay. Here's part of our practice. The ick that you're feeling right now, if
651. 1:37:54you're actually trying to play along here and do this for yourself, the ick that you're feeling is the [ __ ] that
652. 1:38:01normally stops me. And it's probably the [ __ ] that normally stops you. It's the [ __ ] that stops all of us. And so, we're
653. 1:38:08we're doing it as a team. We're doing it together. We got Vicki here being an excellent teacher. By the way, Andy's
654. 1:38:13right. You're an excellent teacher. Okay. Project databases where the projects are related. Uh >> like Winston Churchill says, when you're
655. 1:38:20going through hell, keep going. Yeah, exactly. Meaning projects are a subset of each business area.
656. 1:38:35Oh, and it's not two market media. This should be >> don't change it while it's wait till it's done its thing and then change. [laughter]
657. 1:38:43>> Good point. because I always I was also going to show you um per Silver Fox's suggestion like how to organize them in alphabetical order.
658. 1:38:52>> Okay, cool. >> One click. >> Nice. Okay, so here's this. Do we have There's projects. So, we have a new projects database, right? >> Yep.
659. 1:39:02>> I created a new projects database and added a business area relation field that links it to the business areas. So,
660. 1:39:09projects can live under a specific business area. You can start adding projects in all projects and select the
661. 1:39:15right business area for each one. So if I go into all projects and I say okay, so now this is going to be the uh let's say um oh create the
662. 1:39:32business [clears throat] version of >> No, that's a task. Oh, what would this be? [laughter] >> What is What? [clears throat] What is
663. 1:39:44it? You're creating the business version on >> I do. Haha. I am totally watching. [laughter] You had a Kevin Mallister
664. 1:39:52over notion. You pushed through. I didn't have a Kevin Mallister moment over notion. This is awful. I want to
665. 1:39:58smash my head into the screen. There's no Kevin Mallister yet. There's no magic yet. >> You can't turn back now.
666. 1:40:04>> Exactly. Well, you have to cut the lines before we can have magic. You c you can't make a kyparinia without cutting
667. 1:40:10the limes. [laughter] You're cutting the limes right now. Okay. Wait. So a project So wait. So a project Okay. A
668. 1:40:18project is um the 10 person team workshop. >> Okay. >> Right. >> Now you relate that to whatever your business.
669. 1:40:29>> I relate that to the business area of two market media. Oh, one selected. Then I can I can relate it to more. That's kind of interesting.
670. 1:40:39>> Okay. Status is in progress. Owner is me. I Yeah, I would probably get rid of owner, but that's okay. Dates.
671. 1:40:48>> Dates and priority. I those I have such a [ __ ] up relationship with those. Is that something I need to work through as
672. 1:40:56as a as as an ADHDer yourself? Like like like So here's my thing. My relationship with to-do lists with dates on them is the
673. 1:41:07minute the date passes, it is now just a bludgeon I can beat myself with. It's a shame stick that I myself with cuz cuz I
674. 1:41:17now am like 60 days past due on that thing that I know is only going to take me five minutes, but now it's just a bucket of shame I swim in.
675. 1:41:25>> Um, it depends. I do put dates on everything and so I have like a to-do list that I see every day and if there's
676. 1:41:34anything I don't finish, I just change the date to tomorrow. >> Yes, that requires anything that requires my participation generally oos
677. 1:41:43me out. Okay. >> Yeah, but I've been knocking them out. So, if you go back to that Oh, hang on. I was going to show you. Oh, the other
678. 1:41:50go back to like either your business areas or whatever. Something that has a list and I was just going to show you
679. 1:41:56how to make them alphabetical. >> Okay. Where's my Oh, business areas. Okay. >> Yeah. So, just click at the top of that project column.
680. 1:42:03>> Oh, yeah. Sort. >> Yeah, there you go. And yeah, sort by ascending and then Oh, hang on. No, but no, sorry. The actual column, the
681. 1:42:12project and then add sort. Oh, yeah. Ascending. You're right there. And then just hit >> and then Yeah. >> Oh, I don't want
682. 1:42:23>> a different sort. Yeah, it should be done. Yeah, there it is. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, and then you can add So, I can add a
683. 1:42:30sort by add sort by priority, for example. >> Yep. >> So, there's two sorts. Oh, I see. >> So, yeah, it'll take the first one first
684. 1:42:41and then the second one second. >> Okay. And I can get rid of that if I delete sort. Okay, cool. Beautiful. All right, [snorts]
685. 1:42:56>> by long length. How did you do that? [laughter] >> What's that? >> I said now they sort by the length of
686. 1:43:01the of the title. How did you do that? [laughter] >> Oh, yeah. That's hilarious. That's really funny. Um,
687. 1:43:11and then what's that one? Create and view automations. Oh my god. All right. For those of you playing along at home, there are no prizes
688. 1:43:24and there's no game show host and there's no game other than Are we having fun yet? Um I'm as confused as you are. I I'm sort
689. 1:43:37of think I'm starting to get it. Um, I'm trying to think what my next what's next. Is Vicki coming back
690. 1:43:51tomorrow? Yeah, I think Vicki needs to be here all week. >> Well, [laughter] although I mean you you do tend to to
691. 1:43:59show up here a lot, but but I don't necessarily want you on stage the whole time. I mean, I think it's I think part of this is
692. 1:44:05so maybe what it looks like is this, Vicki. So, I'm starting to get the idea here, but there's all sorts of things
693. 1:44:11like the thing that Kelly Camp is really excited about right now is this is connected inside her chat GPT. >> Yeah.
694. 1:44:20>> And then everything's connected to whatever Gmail or Google Drive or things like that. And so everything's going
695. 1:44:26everywhere all at the same time. So there's this singing dancing version of this we're not even close to yet, right?
696. 1:44:33So some of the work that I have here is to what to start to populate these databases. Yes. >> Yeah. I would like I think like a main
697. 1:44:44priority is like to pick what databases you need like what the things that you kind of work with, right? So I have for
698. 1:44:50in I have tasks projects and I have a resources database because they might relate to different projects. I have a
699. 1:44:57notes database where they might relate to different projects as well. Um, and I have my clients database and then I also
700. 1:45:03have business subscriptions only because that feeds into my to-do list because then I know when my subscriptions are
701. 1:45:09due and the and the thing is remembering to use it. Okay, it's no good to have a business subscriptions database for
702. 1:45:16example if you don't remember to put all your new business subscriptions in it or delete the ones that you don't have anymore.
703. 1:45:22Well, this is the thing that I need to like what I need to get on the other side of is um is is like I don't I don't quite like I I for
704. 1:45:36me the Kevin Mallister moment is going to be when I historically wouldn't have wouldn't have been able to find something and now
705. 1:45:44I just can. Right. But the prerequisite to that is is to have enough you know have enough structure to be to start putting data in. >> Yeah.
706. 1:45:57>> Um >> that's important. >> Is there is is this tied at all to like the contact list somewhere like inside
707. 1:46:08um Gmail or something like that like like one of the thing one of my one of my major themes is people centric
708. 1:46:14projects. And so what I've got is I don't know if you can see this, but you see those four things >> and see how it says key person in the
709. 1:46:24middle, support people below, people from the past to the left, people from the future in the right, and then
710. 1:46:32aspirational people at the top. Like >> take a picture of it and give it to the agent. >> Oh, that's interesting. All right, hang on.
711. 1:46:45and ask it. >> Yeah, >> this is really cool. Okay, so how I'm going to do that? By the way, if if you're wondering how do you take a
712. 1:46:52picture with your computer, Kyle, I'll tell you. I'm going to go to QuickTime player and then I'm going to go What do I do?
713. 1:47:02New screen recording. No, I'll just do new movie recording. Right. And then I go. All right. Do I have to record? Hang
714. 1:47:16[clears throat] on. Hold. Please calm everybody. Calm down. Okay. So, there's that. There's There's my dumb little head poking around the
715. 1:47:26corner. My stupid little four things. I could have just typed these in as we as we all know. Okay. [laughter]
716. 1:47:38I I'm here. I am here so you don't have to feel as stupid. That's my job. [laughter] Chef Kelly has a question on YouTube. I
717. 1:47:47sure I'm sure you do. I have about 400 questions. Okay, we're going to go into here and we're going to paste in our
718. 1:47:53little picture. Can I paste? Please tell me I can paste in my picture. >> I need five at a time. What did you put in there?
719. 1:48:00>> I tried to do it twice. >> It doesn't show me a little preview, but that's okay. No, >> it doesn't. But it not. Yeah.
720. 1:48:08>> [gasps and sighs] >> I have an idea that every project um is actually a collection
721. 1:48:27let's say let's call it instead of a collection that would be like of objects a community of people that um are rep reented
722. 1:48:44in this picture. Um can you help me figure out? >> But is it is a community or it it includes a community of people?
723. 1:49:05I think it is a community of people that all have all need something to be able to move it forward and then my job is do they have what
724. 1:49:19they need to do the thing to move it forward >> is the way >> I would explain that to the agent. [laughter]
725. 1:49:28>> Okay. Um, can you help me figure out how I could um represent a project as this constellation
726. 1:49:42of people um that all have tasks that that might have not all that might
727. 1:49:57have tasks for me related to what they need. I don't even know if that's clear. Well, let's see what it figures out.
728. 1:50:09>> So, is it almost like a racy chart or >> maybe >> because I have a feeling it's going to ask you to create a different database
729. 1:50:18and your database is just going to be all these people's names, >> right? Um and each person might be like
730. 1:50:25so someone might be related to two different projects. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. People are definitely going to overlap >> projects, right?
731. 1:50:36>> But like you might be a support person on one project but a key person on another project. >> Oh, constellation role. I like that.
732. 1:50:46>> So what did it say here? Create a constellation data. Wait, create a people database. Well, so here's my qu.
733. 1:50:52So, let me ask I'm going to ask this thing a question like, you know, can we use an existing CRM? Because me creating a CRM or a list
734. 1:51:05is actually one of the things that's on my cutting the limes list >> rather than create a redundant capability.
735. 1:51:21>> [clears throat and cough] >> I find myself turning to um like asking questions in notion more than I'm using chat GPT right now.
736. 1:51:29>> Wow, that's fascinating. >> Absolutely. Oops. You already have an existing people directory database in this workspace.
737. 1:51:46Oh, it must have added that. >> Oh, maybe. That said, it looks like this works workspace member directory. It's not a full CRM.
738. 1:52:01How do we use add a relation from projects to your CRM context database, whatever it's called? create a lightweight join database, [cough]
739. 1:52:16a notion CRM database that already exists, an external HubSpot Air Table. [cough] All right, that's a project for another
740. 1:52:28day. That's too complicated. So, so I think my job All right, Vicki, I'm gonna I'm gonna release you from
741. 1:52:37your from your penance. Um, thank you so much for doing this. Um, I I wish I could say I had a Kevin Mallister moment. I I feel like I'm
742. 1:52:47Kevin Mallister adjacent. I I at least I'm at least far enough into notion to now kind of get what it is, but I
743. 1:52:56probably only have scratched the surface. So, what do you think is what do you think are the next things I need
744. 1:53:02to do just based on where you see where I am right now? >> Um, I would put in your uh So, you've got your business areas. I would put in
745. 1:53:10your projects and relate them to the business areas and then any tasks that need to be in those projects.
746. 1:53:18Um, and you can always like if you have like a rough idea of what you're doing in a project, you can always ask your
747. 1:53:25agent to create the the [laughter] tasks. >> Yeah. >> You know, what tasks do you think I need to complete this kind of thing? Um, but
748. 1:53:33I it's up to you like whether you prefer to work from the top down or whether you prefer to work from in the weeds and
749. 1:53:40feet up kind of thing. And >> I go either way. But >> yeah, I don't This has a an emotional um familiarity to me when I first started
750. 1:53:51doing Tik Tok where I was like like I'm just an old guy. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what all these why
751. 1:53:57why can't I see any of the icons? Why is this text so small? It was just like I just resented everything about it and I
752. 1:54:04was like well let me just learn just enough to do a little bit and then you know and then it got slowly better. So this feels this feels so
753. 1:54:11>> is good to you like if you there are things that you can do to make it look better like you each um everything that
754. 1:54:18you make every page can have an icon and an image at the top. >> Okay. >> Um which is really easy to do. So and
755. 1:54:25that that that makes it interesting for me because I can put all my branded images in there. [laughter]
756. 1:54:31And then when you're working when you're working so let's say let's say you go to chatpt and you have it come up with a business plan
757. 1:54:38>> where where are you putting that business plan in notion >> um in probably in the project uh no hang
758. 1:54:46on yeah in in the project because your business plan goes with a project right so you might have like an overall plan
759. 1:54:52for your business area like the AI salon might have like one big plan and then each of your um projects underneath
760. 1:55:00that. So like the AI learning lab might also have like a business plan, >> right? [laughter] >> No, it doesn't. >> Well, these are endless.
761. 1:55:11>> That's funny. Exactly. No, it should, but it doesn't, right? Um Okay. Um Okay, I'll start to I'll start to get my head
762. 1:55:19around that. I'm start I'm trying to figure Okay, so so here last probably not last question, but last question.
763. 1:55:27Would you consider notion more of a project management task tool or a content repository? >> Both. >> Oh, that's the wrong
764. 1:55:40>> one over the other. >> Huh? >> I couldn't pick one over the other because like everything that has come
765. 1:55:45out of my head has gone into notion. Um, >> one of your projects into one of your things. >> Yeah. Yeah. I still have stuff that I've
766. 1:55:55like brought over from Evernote and it sits in a it's called the cabinet. All the stuff that was brought from Evernote
767. 1:56:00and I still have notes sitting in that cabinet that sometimes I'll search something and it'll come up with one of
768. 1:56:06those really old notes. I'm like, "Oh, ne now that belongs here and I can just move it like so easily now >> in in notion." Okay.
769. 1:56:14>> Um Okay, cool. Um I I don't want to Brandon has a good idea. Maybe maybe some other night this week if you're
770. 1:56:22willing to pop up again. What might be nice is for you to show us what you've created for yours, how you organize it. Just give us a tour.
771. 1:56:30>> Yeah. Okay. [laughter] >> All right. Um there's also a lot of love coming your way for for doing this. So,
772. 1:56:37also from me, thank you very much. This is this is really powerful. Um but but I'm kind of digging this experiment. One
773. 1:56:43thing that I find fascinating is how quickly the time has gone. Like I feel like we I feel like we've done like 15
774. 1:56:51minutes worth of work, but it's been, you know, almost two hours. So, [laughter] >> yeah, >> I'll be cursing you at 5:30 in the
775. 1:56:59morning when I wake up. >> Yeah, exactly. All right. Well, this is awesome, Vicki. Thank you so much. >> Anytime. You're welcome. [laughter]
776. 1:57:06Okay, >> cool. >> Bye. >> Bye. All right, kids. Good lord. Look at Look what it's done to my hair. Look at this. [laughter]
777. 1:57:17My My toup pay tape is is peeling back. [gasps] The the bugs are migrating down my neck. It's just there's nothing good.
778. 1:57:31Save the [laughter] date. Festivis 2026. Oh, it's also Friday and Saturday the 26th and 27th next year. That's funny.
779. 1:57:40Um, what hit me this year is >> Saturday and Sunday. >> Oh, that's Saturday. Oh, that's Saturday and Sunday. Oh, wow. Okay. I kind of
780. 1:57:50wish there was a day between Christmas and when festival started, but all right. Whatever. Beautiful, beautiful people. Um, okay.
781. 1:58:02So if in case you joined midway through this, one of the things that we're learning about today is notion. But
782. 1:58:11what's happening in the channel here is this channel is going to switch less from a we're just going to do random
783. 1:58:17[ __ ] to I'm going to treat this time as a practice for me to make progress on my projects. And some of that might look
784. 1:58:26like play. Some of that might look like creating really interesting good stuff. And some of that might look like, you
785. 1:58:34know, cutting the lines. It might look like just I've got to install software. I've got to set up directories inside of
786. 1:58:40Google Drive. I've got to connect these things. I've got to learn how to do that. I'll probably [ __ ] things up two
787. 1:58:46or three times and get pissed off and rip things down and build them back up. Um, but what I'm hoping you do is follow
788. 1:58:55along and and think of this time as a time for you to do your daily practice with AI where you're doing similar s sort of stuff. Um,
789. 1:59:06this is all a grand experiment, but I'm really excited about this new direction. So, so functionally nothing changes
790. 1:59:13about um about this channel. What does change is the things that I'm working on are not just going to be random stuff I
791. 1:59:21pull out of my head, but it's going to be moving moving my my [ __ ] forward. All right, questions, thoughts, everybody. Good.
792. 1:59:33Black bar is not there. Now it is. Valerie Cox is all in. Beautiful. The day after Christmas is always the 26th. Yeah, but it's it's what
793. 1:59:47festivists in theory is is the Friday and it's the weekend after Christmas. So if Christmas comes on a Wednesday
794. 1:59:57or a Tuesday or a Monday or a Sunday, then you've got some days before festivists. But if it's right before it,
795. 2:00:04then it's just the next day. It's Boxing Day. All right, cool. >> [sighs and gasps] >> I put project column in alphabetical order
796. 2:00:18as this grows may be handy. Well, that's not a bad idea. All right, let me add that right now. I know how to do that. Add a sort. [laughter]
797. 2:00:26I can do this project by project. There you go. Done. Oh, what did I just do? I checked something. What happens when you check something?
798. 2:00:38Oh, you can change the status. Oh, nice. Content evolution practice storyline two market [clears throat] media. I
799. 2:00:46think I'm going to call this [cough] um Kyle Shannon media. That's what I'm going to call that.
800. 2:01:04All right, people. They've gift given me an Apple iPad so I can pay now. All right, everybody. Um, [clears throat]
801. 2:01:16we we've thinned the herd a bit here. Um, here here's my request to you. Um, I personally feel like this approach of
802. 2:01:27treating this channel as a as a as a practice, if this is just a place for you to come just do stuff in a
803. 2:01:36focused kind of way, I think this could be really powerful for people. So, if you know people in your life that you
804. 2:01:42think um would benefit from a more intentional approach to how to learn AI, um that's what this is going to turn
805. 2:01:50into. I want to start marketing the AI learning lab as as this kind of living practice that people get to just share
806. 2:01:58witness and and participate in in their own way. Um, and this is very different than the mastermind practice lab in the
807. 2:02:07AI salon, which is that's where we're we're designing our practices and working through the framework, the
808. 2:02:14mastermind practice framework. Um, which is very different than the kind of day-to-day stuff we're going to be doing
809. 2:02:20here. Tik Tok pin. When can I get the replay of what? Of Festivus. Oh, you can go buy the replay bundle of Festivus
810. 2:02:29now. It's going to take a few days to process because we have to break everything up and that's all that's all
811. 2:02:34in process. Source camp, I love this new direction. Great. Good. Yeah, especially for the irregulars. It's accountability
812. 2:02:41adjacent. It is this is in the neighborhood of accountability adjacent and it's it's in the neighborhood of just like like
813. 2:02:50to professionalize our AI work. It it means some parts of it are just going to be sucky work. Um, you can only sign in with one
814. 2:03:02account, I think. All right. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. All right, Groovy, speaking of mastermind. Ah, yes. [clears throat]
815. 2:03:18If you're interested in the AI salon mastermind, so the mastermind is the subscription area of the AI salon,
816. 2:03:24right? AI salon is a a free community, free for everyone. You can go meet people there, talk there, share your
817. 2:03:30work there, critique your work there, whatever, work on collaborations. The mastermind is a subscription area
818. 2:03:37for people that are stepping up their they're leveling up their game. And included in that mastermind subscription
819. 2:03:45is the practice lab. So that's a weekly meeting with Liz Miller Gersfeld and myself as co-hosts guiding you through
820. 2:03:53this ma mastermind practice. There's [clears throat] also going to be things inside the mastermind like Cindy Coon's
821. 2:03:59upcoming uh prototyping workshop um that that is going to be like an extension of the mastermind where she's going to
822. 2:04:09teach us how to start organizing our [ __ ] in this in this four-week um uh what's it called? Uh uh the word's not
823. 2:04:18in my head right now. Four weeks over four weeks. [laughter] Um that's going to be there as well. So, we're going to be constantly adding
824. 2:04:26different um things of value within the mastermind for the next two days. It's the 29th, 30th, 31st. So, the rest of
825. 2:04:35today and for two more days, it's 20 bucks a month. And if you sign up now, it's 20 bucks a month for as long as you
826. 2:04:41keep an active subscription. On January 1st, it goes up to 47 or $49. I forget what it is. Sprint. Four-week sprint.
827. 2:04:50Good lord, Cindy [ __ ] my brain not see you see what happens you you start setting up notion and and just you I'm
828. 2:04:58[ __ ] flatlined I got nothing I got nothing up here Kevin Mallister moment [laughter] there was nothing about that was wow [laughter]
829. 2:05:11sprint yes sprint um [clears throat] so go to communitythesalon.ai AI and in the getting started area right
830. 2:05:21at the bottom is the mastermind and you can read about it and subscribe to it and and so I would do that. I would take
831. 2:05:27advantage of that because 20 bucks a month ain't nothing. You can also buy there's if you buy uh the full year it's
832. 2:05:34200 bucks a year. You can save two months for free basically. All right. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful people. It's fantastic.
833. 2:05:44Fantastic. Um all right. I'm gonna get out of I got I got nothing going on upstairs. That was painful. Um, yeah, that's it. All
834. 2:05:54right, Groovy. I hope you all had fun tonight and learned some things. All right, you can have sprints in notion. [laughter] Come on.
835. 2:06:05[gasps] Well, here's the good news. I feel like here here's what what you have done, Vicki. I mean, first of all, my notion's
836. 2:06:12a little bit set up, but I at least now know enough about it conceptually that I feel like I could go watch an LOL or a
837. 2:06:21YouTube video or, you know, something and at least understand what they're talking about better than I could
838. 2:06:26before. So, I think that's a really good thing. All right, Groovy. Um, all right. Peace out, everyone. Have a fantastic
839. 2:06:33evening and I will see you tomorrow.
