Day 5: I ❤️ AI Week Challenge: AI For Ways to Stay Motivated

Y'all won't be able to see my shoes, but I got some very sparkly shoes, red sparkly shoes on today. Bought them in Vegas. Hello everyone, welcome to day 5 of the I Love AI week. It is an amazing week. We've got some really cool, uh, things that we've done all week long, and today is probably my favorite day because, you know, these kinds of challenges, you learn a lot of information, but how do you keep the fire going? How do you keep working and like continuing and being energetic? Many people ask me all the time, how do you stay excited every day, in and out? And I'm going to give you my secrets today. That is going to happen. I'm also going to introduce you to some of the amazing things we have coming up, uh, in the I Love AI community as well as in the AI Leadership Institute, really exciting things. I did finally set the date for our next live learning lab. So I'll be announcing that at the end of this call today. And of course, as always, say hello in the chat if you are here. Say hi, because no one knows you're here unless you actually say hello. So thank you, Tara and Sanjin. It's always nice to see everyone and realize that we're amongst friends here. We're all on a similar journey. Together. It's pretty early. Normally I give us a few minutes to get going. So I'll tell you a little bit about my day today. I went out for last-minute birthday shopping. So one of my children— many of you know I have a bunch— one of them is turning 8 tomorrow. So happy birthday to her. And so, yeah, so I had to go do some last-minute shopping while she was in school. It's half day. So my time was compressed. So if I look a little flushed, it's because I had to run out, get— I am a birthday fairy kind of person. I feel like if we're gonna do business together, you should know this about me. Um, I love birthdays. I make a big deal about them every single year, uh, even for my teenagers, even for my husband. Not as much for myself, but you know how that is. Some of you all know. Um, but welcome everyone, great to see you all here. Thank you for being here. Uh, Sherry's in the house, Luasca, Yara's in the house. Great to see you. Happy Friday. Uh, we are here. So I do have quite a bit. I was gonna put a number on how many ways I'm gonna help you get motivated in 2025, but I, I don't know how far we're gonna get. So we'll see. I have a dream. I have a dream. And then of course, do not let me forget, at the end of today I get to share with you what the— we have a few people, I don't know if you saw in the I Love AI community, and you all are here, so I'm so glad. Um, but they created their own little inner community called the Replay Squad, and you guys have been helping people get caught up and do their homework, and I'm just like, it makes me so happy. So thank you all for, uh, doing all of that and helping each other learn and absorb and remember. You know, we, we had such just incredible takeaways this week, so I want to give one final gift to you, uh, and provide you— now the last time I did this session, I went and looked and I was like, oh my gosh, it was 2023. So it's been a minute. So some of you might have been there. Maybe we forgot, maybe we didn't. It's always a good refresher. So I will encourage you, you know, I, uh, I'll be right back. I'm gonna go over here. I can't even help myself. Every time I go to the store, I can't even help myself. Like, every single time I go to the store, I pick up one of these. Almost every time. I mean, I don't go to the store very often because this is my problem. And it's another— it's a planner, of course. But in this kind of planner, right, it gives me my month, which I need desperately. I have this on Remarkable and on my iPad, and of course in Outlook. But like, I just love it, and it's purple. So anyway, so I bought this, but the reason I want to say— I want to share that with you is because you will need a notebook for today's session, either fast fingers on the typing or you will need a notebook to jot some of these things down. Not every one of these philosophies and principles that I talk about today will resonate with you, but I do— I'm pretty confident at least one will. But we're gonna go through a bunch. We're actually going to talk through quite a few categories. We're gonna go through ways to stay motivated about your potential. Uh, and so I'm gonna give you a couple of those ways to stay motivated in your personal development, uh, ways to stay motivated through your time management, self-esteem. I mean, just let me know if I speak to any of y'all with this stuff. Uh, how to stay energized, because y'all, that's me. Um, so how to stay energized, how to live on purpose, how to be more magnetic in your personality, the, the way you can stay motivated through your goals, uh, as well as your mindset. Um, how to— oh my gosh— and follow through. So follow-through is probably my favorite. It's at the end. I hope I get to it, to be honest. I hope I do. But there are so many things. I wrote a few notes down to make sure that I remembered all of them. But these are things I do all the time, like throughout my day. It's the— they're habits and processes that are woven into the way that I think and what I do. I feel very, very excited, very successful, very intentional in what I do and where I spend my time. Sometimes it gets away from me, and sometimes I go to my, you know, I do all my dishes. I mean, I'll just give you a sample of some, some of the days I have had in the last, I don't know, 2 weeks, right? Where I woke up and had to, before I got started in my day, do laundry and the dishes from the night before. We have a ton of kids, so every night is a party. There's like dishes up to here every single night. It's exhausting. Thank goodness. I mean, I have an amazing partner who helps me all of this, but, but this night, like, you know, he was working and so I had to like do all the things. So I'm like, I get up, I go do laundry, I then do dishes, I then get to my desk, I then work on a funnel, I get a client, I talk to new prospects, I then build my social media campaign, then I switch the laundry. This is around noon. Like, it was just like nonstop. So by the end of the day, we had dinner and of course the dishes piled up again and I was like, Oh my. Oh my. This is a lot. And so I leverage these things that I'm about to tell you to reignite my own ambition and excitement about what it means to be alive in a time like this. And of course, some of these things you can think about through the lens of technology and AI. But I think, like I've mentioned many times, AI is a tool. It's a tool that's going to help you do more than you've ever been able to do before. The more you learn about how to use that tool, the better you'll be able to apply it to your lived experience, to your life, whether that's, um, you're living, you know, whether you're in a family and you have a kid, you know, kids, whether you have fur babies, whether you are in a partnership or not. Like, how do you want to intentionally live your life? And that's what today is all about. So let's get started. Hopefully I have a pencil here. All right, great. So we're going to get started. This is motivation. It's not really 101. This is kind of like 300 level in college curriculum. So let's do this. If any of these things resonate with you, please feel free to shoot me a note in the chat. I'm watching it actively. So it'd be good to know if you're with me on some of these points that I'll be bringing to you. And then, as always, one of the most impressive, fantastic, amazing things we can do is get to know each other. If you are not already connected with the people in this chat, please do so. Some of them have already provided their LinkedIn. This is not done lightly. Like, we realize it is so much more powerful when you realize you are never alone in this journey. There's always someone a couple steps ahead and a couple steps behind, so you could always be learning from people ahead of you and teaching people behind you. And it is the most exhilarating way to live. And so I'm really grateful for everyone in the community that, um, that is willing to do that. So thank you very much for sharing your LinkedIn. Again, a little life hack. What I will encourage you to do is just Click if you're in the Zoom, go ahead and click on all of those links. Let them open up into a separate window. And after today's call, go back and actually do a little bit of research. Read the profiles, get to know the people, see if you have anything in common, and send them a nice note along with the invitation. It's fine. Sometimes we get a bunch of these and we're just like, connect, connect, connect, connect. That's okay. But if you want to, like, you know, do it right, I encourage you to get to know the people that are in this call. Spend a little time on their profile. You might be surprised that you all worked at the same place. At one point, or that you care about the same things, or you have followed the same influencers. And so I encourage you to spend a little bit of time learning about each other as you go. Um, yeah, 100%, it is my— I mean, it can get exhausting and you can get overwhelmed. I, I will tell you that I honestly, in, in 2025, I've had moments where I kind of tear up over my dishes, like over just this sense of overwhelm. And it's not just about my life. I mean, it's overwhelm in technology, overwhelm in decisions that are out of my control, like all of these things that are happening. Oh, I mean, everything from legislation to executive orders to, uh, technology to leaders in tech, all of these different things that, again, they're outside of my control. So to let it impact me dramatically is kind of, well, there's not much good in that. However, I recognize, like, I'm human. And so these are the types of things that I'm gonna share with you that help me get through that. And I hope it'll be helpful to you as well as we close out our I Love AI week. And all of these things, I mean, really, like I said, as I do some of these, I leverage AI. I learn to love AI every single day by identifying something I'm struggling with and partnering with AI to solve it. That is how the relationship gets better. And how I, I grow less concerned about the future of AI and more inspired by the future because I'm solving real problems every single day. And I encourage you to take a similar lens. Is it scary out there? Of course it is. Are there crazy things happening, crazy leaders doing, making weird decisions? Absolutely. But it doesn't change the impact you can have with AI in through your lived experience and the projects that you can be a part of or even create yourself. So today, the first one I'm gonna do is talk about potential. So there are about, I don't know, 10 or so concepts in the, in the world of potential that help me stay motivated. And the first thing, and this is for you sellers out there, is work to your potential. Not to your quota, right? So work to your potential, not to your quota. What that really means is, is you don't want to get stuck kind of looking at like our OKRs, right? I, I talk about OKRs. I have them for myself on my dream board, right? What are the key results that I'm looking for to get to my success?. But I always wanna think about, and this is what motivates me, like, okay, if that's the baseline, I definitely wanna hit that number. But what if I do 10 times that? What if I, you know, meet people? Like, what if I end up getting on, you know, NBC Nightly News again? Like, what if it's bigger than that? So I don't let my quota or my OKRs or my metrics establish the ceiling for me. I let them establish my floor, and I am excited about how— I mean, I'm ambitious. I told you all this. I'm a bit ambitious. So whatever number I set, I'm immediately thinking about how do I blow that number, right? How do I do way more than that? How do I surprise even myself? So that is one of these that I'll point to is how do you make sure that you work not just to what you expect of yourself, but far exceed what you expect from yourself. I, I don't know. For me, it's pretty motivating. The next thing is this word extra ordinary. Extraordinary. Aim for the extraordinary. Every single day I think to myself, what could I do to be extraordinary? And even in the smallest things. So for example, it's Valentine's Day and my kids you know, they wanted to get the little card things. And of course, I'm like, I don't want to just do cards. I mean, we have I Love AI stuff. So I'm like, I Love AI stickers. We created 3D printed hearts. Like, there's all— I wanted to be extraordinary. I wanted someone to get this bag full of goodies and be like, this is awesome. That's the experience I want to give to people. So I aim to not just, again, do things kind of the way I've always done them, but always look through the lens of what I do through an extraordinary lens. Like, how do I do more in a better way, in a more extraordinary way? It's motivating to see that. I also look for extraordinary in my network, in the people that I'm working with. I scan through content and I'm looking for things that are above and beyond, right? What they could have easily summarized in a ChatGPT. Does this mean it's Maybe a little harder. You add a little extra work, maybe, but it's super rewarding when your kids come home and they're like, oh my gosh, it was so awesome. All the kids love the things that we put together. You should have seen us yesterday. I did take a picture. I'll put it on, on Instagram. But we created this little assembly line around the table of all the cool little things, and we all filled bags and we kind of blessed each one. And, you know, like, it was just so fun. I love it. So go for being extraordinary. Work. Not just to your, you know, requirements, not just to your metrics, but beyond that, right? Work to your potential. Find ways of being extraordinary every single day. This is probably one of the most important things that I've done in the world of technology to elevate my technology career, and it's do things that others refuse to do. And so what this looks like in corporate America is I would just look around and see how people were delivering on their success, delivering on their projects. But I would also look at like, what's the most that they'll do? So at Alexa, for example, so many people always ask me like, why'd you build so many skills? And I was like, well, because everyone was building 1 or 2. Some people built 10. So I built 100 because I knew most people would refuse to do that work. I also got 3 certifications across 3 different cloud vendors. Why? Because most people won't do that. Doing what others refuse to do gives you— like, even if no one else sees it, you're just inside. You're like, you know, like, I did that. Like, it's awesome. Another thing that others refuse to do— not everyone, but others do. Maybe you would as well— is I do ice baths. Ice baths, right? So every morning when I'm home, my husband and I, we have an ice bath in our balcony and we jump in to 40-degree— it's actually right now hovering around 35-degree, uh, water. And it's got a cooler and jets. You get in it and it's freezing cold. It's so cold. In fact, when I get in it, I say to my husband, I think something might be wrong with this. I think something might be wrong. Like, it's too cold. Um, but others don't do that. And, and there are so many benefits to doing ice baths in the morning, or actually at any time. But so many benefits, but some of them are central nervous system regulation. And for me, what that translates to is my ability to keep my cool when things get hot or crazy or intense or high emotion. It gives me the ability to recognize, oh, this is an intense situation, but I've already dealt with an intense situation today. Crazy cold water. I— it ended. Number one, that's the lesson. It always comes to an end. But I also learn techniques to deal with that very intense situation. So doing what others refuse to do gives you lessons that others won't get a chance to learn through those types of activities, right? So being extraordinary, doing things that others refuse to do— it could be anything. Like, honestly, it— there's a, a, a framework for this. I think there might be even a book on it called One Percent. Like, it only requires you to do 1% more to be seen as extraordinary. Because so many people won't even do the required. You do 1% more of that. Like, someone gives, you know, or, or tries to build something and they never quite get it across the line. You know, this is a— oh, it's a great story. There's a story called, um, that you can look up, uh, on your search channel of choice, uh, called Acres of Diamonds. I can't remember who wrote it. Waddles, maybe. Anyway, Acres of Diamonds. And what it's about is this story of a person who bought a bunch of land searching for diamonds. He was told there were diamonds there. He dug all over, little holes all over his land trying to find them. He couldn't find them. He spent 3 years trying to find those diamonds. He then finally gave up, sold the land. As soon— the person who bought the land— anyone care to guess how this story ends? Yeah, that person who bought the land after looking at all the holes, only had to dig where there wasn't a hole and found them within weeks, within days maybe. Right? Like, because, you know, so many times we're about to uncover that opportunity, that, that connection, right? That business transaction. Like, we're right on the cusp and we basically give up. So many people give up on their ideas. I have now come to realize and believe firmly that you can have success in whatever you do, it's just a, a, a function of persistence and time. Now, I will give it to you. Some of us don't have that time. We don't wanna spend 20 years trying to build something. AI Leadership Institute, while doing very well the last couple of years, I mean, it was pretty dormant in 20— from 2016 until now. Right? Nobody really wanted AI leadership. Nobody was thinking about AI leadership. Now they are. Yay. But thank goodness I kept with it through years of people being like, I don't know what you're doing with that. Like, I love it, so I'm gonna keep doing it. But persistence is key, and doing things others refuse to do will exercise that muscle of being persistent. Oh my gosh, awesome! What? That is so cool. Yes, more extra. Exactly. Yeah, I should get like a sticker or something that says extra. I love it. I love it. All right, so next one. Oh my gosh. I love this one. Be the most dependable person you know. I struggle with this because I have so many plates. I literally have 21 plates spinning at all, all times, which means by the time I'm down here spinning these, the ones I spun over here are starting to fall on the floor and shatter to a million pieces.. And I have to kind of be graceful with myself, but be— being the most dependent person— dependable person I know means I hold myself accountable for being dependable. I want to— for example, there are certain promises, and I apologize to some of you all, but there are promises that I make to my children that I keep. Like, I keep those promises at all costs. I will blow a deal. I will not show up at an event. Like, there are certain things— my family comes first, raising these humans comes first, teaching them that they can count on someone, it does come first. Now, not every— like, I don't make a lot of promises that are like that, but the ones that I have made, I keep. And so I want to be, you know, when I look around, I want to be an example of dependability. And I always kind of criticize myself for some of the things that I haven't been as dependable on, but it's super motivating to me because I want like this is a, a goal I have that drives me to do more, to be careful with my time. You all remember that quote that I have on my, um, on my monitor, right? Like, the most important thing you can do is be in control of your time and your energy. And when you are in control of it, you have now a really good— you're exercising that muscle of saying no to things. And that's kind of what this says, at least it's how I've, I've, you know, explained it to myself, is that being the most dependable person I know means I'm only going to say yes to things I know I can commit to, and I'm going to say no to things that are not for me to do right now. And the best way for me to do that is to know what I want, understand my goals and what it takes to achieve those goals, and everything else has to be a no thank you. There is a really great book, so I'll just be throwing out references. I hope you jot them down. There's a really great book called The Power of No, and it was written by 4 women who are in a company, and they noticed that they were— oh no, it's called The No Club. Sorry, The No Club. And they— because they created this little tiny group of women inside this company called The No Club, and they were basically going to kind of support each other in saying no to non-promotable work. And what that meant is that— and I'm this way, right? Like, I do stuff for my clients, for people in the community. Like, I wanna help so bad. I hope y'all know, like, I want to serve, I want to support. And in doing that though, I overextend myself. And so then the very person I'm trying to help ends up not getting helped. And then other things, other plates that I'm spinning start crashing. And so what I, I loved about this book is that it talked about the not only the importance of setting boundaries and realizing there's work to be done by you, and there's work that doesn't need to be you. And granted, in, in the world of, like, corporate America, oftentimes when I was on engineering teams, I was often given the responsibility of documenting Scrum meetings, if some of you know this. And, and now I, I mean, as a leader, like, that was before I became kind of the leader of the team. As a leader, I never make that one person's job. I always rotate it. I actually think we're seeing that be a bit pervasive in engineering teams, but I guess it probably depends on the company. But like, no one person should take notes at a meeting. Like, it should rotate around. Everyone should get the joy of taking notes in a meeting, right? Or documenting outcomes or whatever the case might be. But like, these activities that, because some of us are yes people, we're easy to just be like, sure, I'll help you with that. And then we don't realize how much time that eats away from our ability to deliver on the things that actually matter to the company. Company. And so our day becomes full, and that's what the No Club was all about. Your day becomes full of these things that seem to matter in the moment, but when it comes to performance review time, they're like, yeah, none of that stuff matters. Like, did you deliver on this promise? Did you hit your quota? Did you close this business? Did you build this software? And because you said yes to all these other things, you were able to be less impactful in the things that mattered most. And so learning to say no— and I struggle with this now. I mean, all y'all know I, It's very rare that I say no. I'm trying. I am doing my best to say no to things. But the other thing is to build a team around you or a community around you that can help you say yes, but it's not me, right? Yes, this person can help you. That's the benefit of, you know, being so intentional about community building and network building. Like every LinkedIn, right? You can say yes now and it doesn't have to be you that fulfills the promise or fulfills the need of the person. So be the most dependable person you know. And I will revisit some of these at the end. I'll summarize them. This, you know, I mean, all of these I love. Okay. Show your uniqueness through— this will not surprise any of you. Action. Show who you are by doing a thing, building a thing, creating something. Like, action, massive action. That's why I built 100 apps for Alexa. It's why I've created hundreds of custom GPTs. Like, massive action. Show who you are through the lens of demonstration. It's a big part of who I am. It's a core value of the AI Leadership Institute. We're doers. Not talkers. Use, you know, identify what's unique about you. And this is what I said, you know, I don't— not yesterday, day before yesterday when we're talking about, you know, building a company, or even the day before that when we were talking about having your own career and being, like, a professional in this space. Take your unique lived experience, combine it with AI. I absolutely loved the stories and demonstrations you all put in the community that day. About how what you plus AI looks like, and then take action. Build a custom GPT, create a webinar, write content, build a blog. It doesn't matter what the action is, but solidify what makes you special in a way that is demonstrated through action. Take action. So many of us get stuck thinking and analyzing and kind of examining, and it's, you know, like we end up— a month will go by and we've never done the thing that we were trying to do. So I am very action-focused. The world changes through action. That's how it works. Um, writing it down is good, but taking action— you know, I— there's a, a book I read, I think it's called Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth. Um, old, old book, but I love this book because in it it says pray with your feet. And whether you're religious or not, what it meant was it's not enough to kind of sit in prayer by your— like, you have to be inspired to take action. And so from this, I've learned this concept of like the, the trilogy, right? Not in church. Some of you might know that from a church, but, but this concept of the thoughts you think, combined with the words you say, combined with the things that you do, right? This art of congruency. It's one of the 7 virtues of mindful leadership that I have on my Instagram. Right? How do you stay congruent? You make sure that you are surrounding yourself with ideas and thoughts that are in alignment with the things that you wanna do, and that you only speak words in alignment with those thoughts, and you only do things aligned with those words. It helps you stay congruent and consistent and dependable, um, in the things that you're trying to do. So take massive action. That is a huge one. Um, challenge yourself. And specifically, you're going to challenge yourself with really hard things, tough tasks. There's a few ways to look at this. One might be like ice baths, right? Or some of you maybe are completely opposed to that, so let's say a sauna or a steam room, right? Like getting in and it's just uncomfortable. There's a moment every time I do these things that I get this sense of like, I should leave. Like, I, I'm like, I'm done. I don't wanna do this anymore. Bikram yoga, I used to feel this way as well. Now I've done it for a couple decades, so I'm pretty good. But, um, but in the early days, and I watch other people, like, you get this sense of like fight or flight, right? Have you heard of this response? And that fight or flight response is what I'm trying to control, that even when bad things happen, like, rather than fight or flight, I can actually process what's happening and take a positive action. So challenging myself with tough tasks, but I'm not just talking about ice baths and saunas. I'm actually talking about so many of my audience has told me at one point or another they're not a coder or they're not technical or they're not, you know, they've never considered themselves a public speaker or a person who would have their face on social media. I encourage you to just be aware of when you say statements like this. And that realize you're just one tough task away from that not being true anymore. Give you an example. In just 2 weeks, I will be running a Disney Princess half marathon, my 10th half marathon, uh, in my life. So it's not like, you know, a huge deal, but it's big to me. Um, but I'm running a half marathon, and prior to starting to run half marathons, I would have said to you, I'm not a runner, I hate running, were words that I would say. I actually enjoy it now, but I enjoy it because I found a way of running that's super fun. Like, I go and run these Disney Princess half marathons, I dress up like a princess. You'll see, we're going to do a countdown, um, the week prior to my race, and you'll see all of the race getups that I've worn through the years. I mean, I've got like wigs. I've worn blonde wigs, Snow White wig, uh, luckily I was Moana last year, so I got to keep my hair. Um, I don't even know what I'm going to do this year. I still am on the fence. Some people are doing Tinkerbell, but I'm not really You know, Tinkerbell though, I love Tinkerbell. Not a princess so much, so maybe I'll do Asha. I don't know, maybe it's a Wicked day. I don't know. Um, so we'll see, we'll see what I'm gonna do. But that being said, the only way I got to a point where I'm now running my 10th half marathon is because I confronted this perception and belief about myself that I couldn't be a runner. And the first— what I started to do was just run. And I was doing actually walking first, and then I did run walks where I'd run a minute, walk a minute. And that was pretty inspiring. And that's kind of how I get through 13 miles. But this week, this coming weekend when I run this race, I— it's the 21 and 22. I'm doing something crazy again, something I never thought I would do, where I am running a 10K on Saturday and a 13.1-mile on Sunday, back to back. Let's just see how it goes. But it's hard. I'm challenging myself. Do you know what it feels like when you get out of the sauna or an ice bath or a half marathon? Like, I am just like on fire with motivation. Like, I'm like, I did that. It's amazing. You should— you'll see the picture that I post. Like, I'm just— I've just run. Like, you could go back in my LinkedIn and see the one I posted from, uh, last year. But like, when I'm done, I don't look tired, I don't look beat down. Like, I am excited because I cannot believe I survived. Um, and So challenging yourself with tough tasks is about finding those opportunities for proving to yourself what you're made of. And they don't have to be crazy hard. Obviously, I'm giving you some pretty hard stuff. I like the idea of just building a Python application. How many of you said, I'm not technical. I've never built code before. No time like the present. There are plenty of, uh, coding classes that you can take all by yourself. And we do live lessons inside the AI Leadership Institute. So there's lots of opportunities. But like, that could be your tough task. Go do something in technology you've never done before. Build an agent, create an asynchronous agent that talks to another system. Build a Python application, step through Python, load up Codespaces on GitHub, set up GitHub, create a GitHub repository. All of these, depending on where you are in your journey, might in your mind go, well, I'm not sure about that. And in my mind, that's a— that's like a note to self to lean in. Like, if you think you can't, What? Like, try. What's the— and especially if you can try by yourself. So I will tell you one of my, my techniques that I use to build my own self-confidence. I might be getting ahead of myself, but one of the techniques I use to build my own self-confidence is that I create ways, mechanisms for celebrating my own success. So I, in my book, I have a habit tracker. I will every single week pick a couple habits. Doesn't actually matter what they are. I will set that habit for 7 days. So this week my habits are I have 2 vitamin gummies that is not currently part of my habit system. So I wanted to take those 2 gummies every day. And then I'm taking a vitamin like some of you all know what this is, Active Greens. It's like ingesting a bunch of greens in like a very little bit of water. And I want to do that every day just to give me some vegetable insurance as I start traveling a lot due to the book tour that's coming. Right? So, so Active Greens and vitamin gummies, like, I wanted to make a habit of this, so I set it up 7 days. This— I'm on my day today. I actually realized right before this call, I was like, oh, I forgot to take my gummies. So I went and took my gummies, so we're good. Um, and I, I tied— I always tell people I tie or anchor new habits to existing habits I do all the time. So my husband and I, we get, uh, we drink coffee together every morning when we wake up. We make lunches for the kids, get the kids ready, and We sit down and have a cup of coffee. We do something every single morning. And it's— I don't know, it's something in my mind. I'm like, something's not right if we don't do it. But we sit next to each other, we grab our cup of coffee, we cheers, clink, and we say, you know, here's to a great day. And we just start the days together, even if our paths completely separate the rest of the day. But that being said, like, those habits have really— like, now at the end of day 7, No one knows. I mean, I just told you, but nobody knows that I'm doing that. But on the 7th day, when I've done a thing 7 days in a row and I check that 7th day, I'm like, I did that. I make little promises to myself. I keep those promises and I celebrate those promises. And the more of these mini promises you can keep, you might not notice at first, but the more of them you keep, the more confidence you build in your own promises. Like promises you say to other people, promises you make to yourself. I'm going to drink water every day. Every day you track that you do it, you're going to get more and more confident that if you say something else, you'll believe that you actually can. And it has worked for me. That's again, it sounds super small and insignificant. It's made major strides in the things I'm now willing to do as a result. All right. So last one on the potential one is over— oops, that's an R— overdeliver. On your commitments. And this is something— the reason I think this is motivating is because it causes delightfulness in your customer and your family, right? Like, again, with the bags that we built, like, I went a little crazy. Oh my gosh, I should show you. And of course, we now have Uh, so I mean, we had bags and, and I bought these on Amazon, and of course Amazon got the count wrong, so the boxes contain double what they said. So now I have plenty, but I got— this was one of the many things that were included in the bag, like legit, like Valentine's glasses. And of course I gave slime. It's terrible, don't judge me. Um, but anyway, so a bunch of cool gifts, uh, I Heart AI stuff, right? Like So cute. But I overdelivered on the promise, right? Like, my kids were like, oh, can we get cards? I'm like, oh no, we're going big. And the delightfulness that it generated in them, like, it was so fun. Everyone was excited and motivated because we were doing more than we thought we were going to do. And the same is true for all the things. When I build an application, I always keep an eye on the backlog and I try to think about— and I don't— I'm not talking about sandbagging, right? Like saying, oh, I'll do a little bit and then deliver Like, I promise a little, I then deliver, overdeliver, but it's really just the same thing as I could have just promised from the beginning. I mean, like, just think, what is something you can do to make whatever you're doing better for the person, company, or yourself that you're delivering? Like, how do you overdeliver? And this is more of a personality trait. Become an overdeliverer, right? Like, whenever somebody asks you for something, do a little bit extra. It's hard to do all the time. These are just little things I do. When I do this intentionally, it feels good and it's motivating. It's exciting. Like people— like for my dad, right? Like we have so many situations where, um, he'll ask for things, right? He come— he lives in an apartment attached to our house, but he comes in for dinner and he'll make his, you know, order of things. He's like, I need this and this and this and this. And then I'll get him something surprising. Like something he shouldn't have, like cookies or something. Like, I just give him something a little extra and it just delights him to know. And it's the tiniest little thing. It's just the fact that I didn't just check the box, I overdelivered on the box. And so I encourage you to look at ways that you can overdeliver and then watch the impact it has on people around you. That is where motivation— for me, at least— that's where it comes from. All right. Next section is on personal development. So a whole new, whole new little topic. We won't spend as much time on these, but there's a couple that I really like. The first one is there is a book. I don't know, let me know in the chat if you've read this book before by Napoleon Hill called Think and Grow Rich. Anyone? Anyone? Yes. Awesome. Yeah. If you've read Think and Grow Rich, then of course you have, because we're friends like We're, we're together. Um, but Think and Grow Rich has a lot of cool stuff in it. I've read it many, many times in my life, probably 10 times, 12 times. Um, Think and Grow Rich, one of the concepts in it is this concept known as a mastermind. And I don't mean like mastermind like the— is— oh, it's called MasterClass, never mind. But I don't mean like a thing you buy. I mean like, how do you look around you and collect amazing, incredible people into your life and create a mastermind of resources like this room right here where we all come together and actually talk. This is literally— we, um, are now moving into, like, with the I Love AI community and the AI Leadership Institute, like, this year we are going to be hosting our very first AI leadership Summit, which is an opportunity for us to all get in a room and exponentially grow our careers, our businesses, or our professional life. And that is the epitome. Now, you could do masterminds virtually. I have participated in them in person, and it's just a different experience. Like, virtually is hard. Some people don't, you know, like, it's hard for them to communicate via camera, all that. But masterminds, like, join a mastermind. Um, and I had, uh, here's the key. You want people who are winning, right? You want to join people who are a little bit ahead of you, or at least with you going in the direction you want to go. You don't want to get into a group of people, like, for example, like, if we created the AI Leadership Summit and publicly advertised that summit to people who have never heard of AI, who are just interested in AI, who are just getting started, right? We would not have a mastermind, right? We would have like a meetup where there's a mix of people and not a, a direction as far as like all of us trying to use our minds to get better, to grow more. This is something that's special. And again, not everyone. So we're gonna do our first leadership summit this year, uh, for the AI Leadership Institute. Likely not too long from now in April. So mark your calendars. I don't know the dates, but in April, keep an eye on it. But in that, we're gonna, of course, invite everyone to come and learn about AI. I'm gonna be teaching a 2— well, I'm gonna be teaching a session on how to grow businesses. So that's the idea is like, it's called business scaling. It actually can be used to grow your— you are— I encourage you all to think about this. You are all your own business, right? You are your own professional services company. You have a service you are providing, whether that gets consumed in a W-2 or W-9. That is, you know, either way. But that concept, we're going to have then a special mastermind. So day one is going to be the summit. Day two will be a mastermind. Not everyone can play. It will only be for winners looking to invest in being in a room you know, a really cool room of people. So I'm excited about that. But this is not something unique to me. I don't have to be the one to provide it. You can create your own. But just— this is the most important thing. Find people who are on the same path as you, either where you are or past where you are. And there are a couple of ways to do this. You can either pay to be in this way, in this room. I'll just give a little bit of detail, right? You can pay to play or you can earn your way in, right? And the way that you earn your way in is you become a winner and they want you in the room anyway. But I will tell you, 10 years ago I spent $25,000 on a mastermind because I wanted to be in the room of people who are where I am now. This was 10 years ago. I was still a software engineer inside a company, not making very much money, didn't have a company of my own. This is before— right before I joined Alexa. And so I paid to get there, but then I spent the last 10 years earning my way into these rooms. Now I get invited to masterminds as opposed to me having to pay. I'm at— as a matter of fact, so very excited. Um, I can't really tell you all the details, but I got invited to a cool room. I will be delivering a session in China for an incredible room of people who are as successful as me or more, and much, much more. I'll be one of the speakers though, right? Like, what a difference between paying $25K to be in the right room, which I'm glad I did. It changed my life. However, you eventually— you use what you learn in this Mastermind of Winners, and then you do the work, and then you become someone that they want in their room. It's so cool. Oh my goodness, I love it. Okay. Now we got some homework. These are things that I'm gonna encourage you to commit to. I've committed to doing this myself. It's a little easier in the world of Kindle Unlimited, but the next one is to read a book a week. Obviously, I'm not even gonna say it. Just read a book a week. I always read nonfiction books. That's just because I love them. They inspire me. They motivate me. I have Lots of them over there, but also feel free to read fiction if you'd like. I use Kindle Unlimited, so I download books every single day almost, and I just stack them up and read through them. But reading a book a week will motivate you, especially if you read on a topic you like or a topic you want to learn more about. But read, like actually read. I know, is this like too, too old for y'all? But yes, awesome. Absolutely. Oh yeah, thank you. Oh my gosh, thank you for saying that. I didn't— I should be careful with some of the terms I use that are just very specific for the US. But yes, what I did mean, just like as an employee or as a business owner, both ways. But yeah, thank you for that. Oh, I appreciate that. I'm so glad you're here though. Welcome worldwide people. Sorry for that. Anyway, so read a book a week. That's going to motivate you because you'll constantly get new ideas. And again, you can even reread books.. I always have 4 to 5 books on my shelf. I'm right— you, you all know what book I'm reading this week, and I've read it before, but it's hard. Um, and so this is it. Uh, it's called 100 Million Offers— $100 Million Offers— and it's how do you create an offer. And this is great, again, employee or business owner, to create— how do you package what you do in a way that you can benefit someone. And here's the magic equation that I now know by heart because it's so true, is that when, you know, I get this book, I read it, I get this idea, and it changes everything about what I'm implementing— not changes critically, but it gives me motivation to do things in a different way and see if I can get better results. Um, but this equation, it basically says, you know, my goal is to know intently what the dream outcome of my Audiences, right? So for many of you, a dream outcome might be to become a leader and understand how to use AI responsibly to actually generate value for a company. That, and, and if you could, you would do it with zero effort and instantly, right? Like, that's the dream is that I instantly, I, I wave a magic wand and you are immediately the perfect representation of all the right knowledge in all the right use cases. And you didn't have to take any time to learn, and it wasn't hard. And you had no— like, it was instantaneous. But that's not reality, right? Giving someone their dream outcome, it takes time and resources. So our job to create the perfect offer, right, to package up what we do and give it to someone, sell it to someone, our job is to look at that equation and say, okay, for their dream outcome, how do I increase the likelihood that they'll achieve it while decreasing the total cost of implementing it, meaning time, how much time it takes them, and how much energy or effort it takes them. Sacrifice. If I can say, you know, that's why we sometimes see these, these ads or these, these like posts on Instagram or on Facebook or on LinkedIn, and it'll be like, do this in this month, you know, do like, let's say, you know, sell your business in 30 days with no tech experience at all. Right? They're speaking to this idea, this equation of like, we have an idea of what we want. How can you make it easy for me to do? Meaning no tech experience required. As well as do it in a shortest time possible. 30 days, 90 days, 2 weeks, 24 hours. So when you create an offer, you create a way of doing something. This is a way of characterizing it to the world. Like, I can help you do this thing in this much time, which is shorter than you would expect based on this much effort, right? Meaning no tech skills or no skills at all, or all you need is a smile, right? Like, I make it incredibly compelling. And of course, there, there's a lot more to it. But that equation really changed the way I think about a lot of things, and I learned it just by reading a book. So read a book a week. All right. Oh, I love this one, my friends. Oopsie, hold on. I'll get to erase these over here too. So this one is about eliminating negative influences. And I mean, like, gone. So I definitely do this. It's very hard. I will just tell you, it's hard if people you live with are negative, right? Like if it's your mom or your partner, um, it's tough because you can't eliminate your partner. Um, and so we kind of have to think about it a little bit. Uh, how do we, how do we reduce our exposure to negative influences? And what this typically means is that there are certain people in your life I call them dream squashers. Like, you'll tell them something, you'll be like going through this, you're all excited, you just got a new idea. You tell them and they're like, no, that's not going to work. You're not good at that. Another crazy idea, Noelle. Like, they instantly kind of diminish your enthusiasm and excitement about something. And like, they're dream squashers and it's no fault of theirs. I always tell myself in these moments, like, they can only see the world through their lens. And in their vision of the world, they probably can't see me being successful like that, but they can't see me like they don't know my vision. They don't know what I'm capable of. They don't know what I'm willing to sacrifice. Right. So I don't fault them for that. But I do limit my exposure to that type of information. Right. Like I, I have to. And, and again, this is like the art of motivation, how to stay motivated in 2025. You have to eliminate negative influences in your life, like reduce them. This could be social media. So I'm going to give you a very tactical tip to help you eliminate negative influences. You have to be very intentional with your social media feeds. You can be, by the way, I don't know how many of you know this, but you're going to want to delete every person that you follow, every single one, including me, because you're going to add me back. But you want to delete everyone that you follow, and then you're going to want to curate a list of people that are positive, uplifting, people you wanna do business with, people you wanna partner with, people that are your friends that are positive and motivating. And you're gonna curate a list. Start with 100 of people like this and only add people, only follow people that accommodate this perspective, that are not negative, because you will train the algorithm to only serve you content like this. Like, I love my Instagram feed cuz every day it's motivating. It's like a quote or a saying or a video, and it's just, I mean, I don't spend a lot of time on social media, but now I, I, I have curated it into such a positive influence that if I'm feeling— and this has happened to me, right? I just the other day I had some person just rain on my parade, say some really awful thing to me, um, really awful. Like, I was really, really bummed out and I needed to— within a couple hours, I had to go be on stage and be everything to, to this audience. And I was feeling heartbroken, betrayed. Like, I was like, this— like, I felt really bad. So I went online and I actually texted one of my Mastermind friends and was like, hey, I need a like up my mojo kind of video. What do you use to like change your mojo if you like something bad happened and you just need to shake it off. Um, and, uh, so she sent me a video and it was her, so it didn't really— I was like, okay, that's good, that's good. And then I just went to Instagram, and because I've curated my Instagram feed, you'll see I only follow certain people, everything I see is motivating. Now, ads are ads, I can't get around that, but I can— like, it was instant. Like, I was like, oh good. And then of course, some of you— I mean, so curating your feed is one way Uh, another way is through music. Some of you probably can relate to that, right? Like, I love— I have a— literally, it's called my happy playlist, and I just play it, and whatever song comes on on that playlist— there's about 200 songs— whatever song it is, I'm like, I get in. I— it just shifts my emotions. So you want to eliminate negative influences, but when they when they occur, you also wanna have some techniques for getting out of it. And I was able to pull it out. As a matter of fact, it was pretty awesome cuz I got on stage after this horrible situation, got on stage and it was awesome. Like people loved it. They gave me great feedback. People came up and took pictures with me and they were motivated and inspired by me. And I was like, like if I had let that thing that happened, it could have permeated and contaminated more of the good things that I wanted to do. So having a mechanism of eliminating those negative influences and then countering it with a positive jolt of goodness really did— it helped me. All right. Oh yeah, of course. These are just a couple. Face your fears. So I'm just going to say some of you are afraid of getting on social media like I would just do that. The world is social. We're not going to undo what we've done in the last 10 years, 15 years on social media. I do think, though, you can control what you do and how you do it, and you can do it in a way that makes you comfortable. Do you think at the end of the day, when I go to a business, I want to know who they are? Like, I don't ever work with a business that I haven't reviewed their board of directors, and for lots of reasons. But I look at their board of directors, I look at their CEO. I look at the kind of decisions that they make. I wanna know that where I'm putting my money and my, my energy that is going into an organization that is representative of my core values. And I don't think that we are doing less of that. I think we're doing more of that. And so you want the world to be able to find out who are you, what do you stand for, what do you believe in? So that people who wanna work with people like that can find you. So I encourage you to make to, to face your fears of whatever they are. It could be public speaking, could be getting on social, it could be doing something hard, it could be learning how to code, it could be building a no-code application. Like whatever you're afraid of, the best way to deal with something you're afraid of is to actually just do something. Take massive action, right? Like I run 10 half marathons. I soon, soon I'll run 10, but 9 half marathons. Like I used to be deathly afraid of running. I didn't even know if I could run 5K. Hey, right? But once you do it, you're like, oh, not only is— am I not afraid, I'm actually pretty motivated by this because it makes like— I feel like a rock star now. All right, uh, let's see. Um, yeah, yeah, this is a good one too. I'm just going through my list of things that I do. So attend networking events. Now this is an affirmation I have for myself. Networking and like industry, I'll call it, like the AI Leadership Summit, right? So attending a network and industry events, I have to tell myself this because I would, if I mean, now I, I actually speak on a lot of stages, so I go to a lot of these things anyway. But even at those events, there's networking opportunities. And even as I say it, I start to get like a little tightness in my chest. I don't really like the networking part where I have to figure out what to say and how to say it. And small talk, ew, I don't— it does not vibe with me. However, I saw recently another note to self on the Diary of a CEO. This woman was talking about behavioral analytics. She's a behavioral researcher, and she was— she, she talked about a bunch of things, but one of the things she talked about was how to be good in those scenarios when you're not confident in those scenarios. And the one tip she gave me that was really powerful was, um, be a champion of others. So when you go in, like, your job is just to make other people— like, find out about other people and then celebrate those things. And so I did this at an event recently where I would normally not go and like mingle with people, but I was like, all right, I got this. And I went in, I was just like I was like, oh, you know, tell me more about what you do. What are you— what cool thing are you doing in the next 90 days? In that Diary of a CEO session, they actually gave like 5 questions that you can ask. I memorized a couple of them. And then what I started doing is every conversation was like this. I tried to talk very little about me. Eventually they'd ask about me and I would disclose it, of course. But, but I tried to be more about the other person. And then when I would go to another group of people and I would talk to them, I'd be like, oh my gosh, do you know that this person also does that? So I, I started to become a connector. Actor, and it completely distanced me from like networking and trying to figure out what to say. Like, I, I just became a fan of everyone, and it was energizing and motivating. And I left for the first time out of a networking event being like, well, that wasn't terrible. Like, I actually enjoyed that. So, so becoming a champion in your networking events, like, if you are not great at this or you are shy, like, what if you could find out something about someone and celebrate it? With them, right? And the benefit— like, one of the things that I really liked was it was like, what if you know someone? Like, you know, saying things— there were a couple of very key phrases like, oh, I was just thinking about you, like just that, or, oh, this happened and it made me think of you, or maybe, you know, like recognizing someone you already know, like tying it to something that you've done recently. Like it was just so cool because it was less about me and more about the people that I'd be talking to. And somehow that felt different. It felt better to me. But like I said, I just transparently let you know, if you see me at a network event, I'm probably pretty uncomfortable on the inside, even though on the outside I'm like, it's very hard for me, but I love it. I love it. Okay, let's see. All right. Oh yeah, let's do this. Okay. I'm gonna move into time management, and that might be where we end, but we'll see. These are my favorite tools for staying motivated in the area of managing your time. This— and I might even change this from management to control, right? Because you don't really manage time. You kind of control your time. And I'm gonna give you some of my favorite things. The first thing is you do need to take control of it. Right. Take control of your time. You should know how you spend your days. Here's the cool thing. There are things like Viva Insights that will share with you insights on how you're spending your day. I love it. If you are inside, this is of course in Microsoft 365. So if you're on Microsoft and you're in Teams, you are, or you're on a Microsoft tenant You have the ability to leverage Insights. It's a menu item, so go and look at it. I always look at it. It also provides you the ability based on controlling your time. It'll give you insights into how much focus time you're spending, like how much time on your computer are you dedicated to a single task versus multitasking on phone calls, which is very telling. So take control of your time as step 1, schedule in Oh goodness. Schedule 15-minute breaks throughout your day. This is something I just started doing last year, and it was incredibly impactful to my overall productivity because sometimes I— how many of you have sat at your desk for unnecessarily long periods of time? Like, I could sit at my desk and I would sit down in the morning and I would realize I blew through lunch and I'm like looking at the clock and like, oh my gosh, It's dinnertime. And I never got up, not even to go to the bathroom, because you get in the zone, right? You're in the flow. And I just like work, work, work, work, work. And so now I have— oh, I have to show you this. Some of you have seen this already. So cute. My little Alick. So cute, right? I'm not going to turn it on right now, but little Alick having a drink and a snack. But this has a Pomodoro timer on it, but it also has a reminder timer. Timer. And so I will set this on my desk and I will set that timer. And so every 2 hours I make sure that— and I should do it more often— but every 2 hours I make sure that I take a 15-minute break. Um, yeah, it's so easy to lose track of time. But the interesting thing is, is there's so much brain science on the, the impact of taking that break and walking away from your desk or going outside or even just turning away from your desk and staying seated and just focusing on something other than what you're working on. It increases the mental elasticity of your brain, allowing you to come up with more creative ideas by resting. I know, counterintuitive, but let's do that and let's, you know, take care of ourselves because let's face it, like, you know, the older we get, the more mature we are, certainly people that are nearing the end of their lives, they're not like, man, I wish I worked more, you know, like, man, I wish I spent more time at work. They're almost always like, I wish I had spent a little bit more time taking care of myself, taking care of my family, being with my family. So I always keep that top of mind, like I am on a mission. So I've got lots of stuff to do. But I, I now recognize that I need to really increase the kind of breaks in my day to support paying attention to myself and taking care of myself. All right. All right. Here's some stuff. You know who I'm speaking to. First thing is, okay, these are like just a list of things. This is like on my list of things every day I look at. Dedicate. Oh goodness. I'm drawing all over my board. There we go. So dedicate family time. Now this could be family time, this could be outdoor time, this could be time with pets, this could be time with friends, but like dedicate time, meaning it has to be scheduled in. And again, many of you, I, I'm just saying this from my experience that I get motivated, like all this other stuff motivates me, it gets me going, I'm all like, let's go. And then I look up and I'm like, oh my gosh, tomorrow's my daughter's daughter's birthday. Like, I want to make sure, like, I prioritized early in the week to pack my schedule with things so that— and that's why some of you are in the AI Leadership Institute, and I Love AI actually canceled our calls this afternoon because I was like, you know what, we're going to be together here. I'm gonna be present and give you as much value as I can in our time together, and then I'm gonna go spend time with my family on Valentine's Day with my husband. You know, like, I've just that I'm gonna prioritize that. And so dedicating that, carving it out of your day, and spending time with the people that you love, you won't regret it. Um, and when I do this, I, I'm motivated by that time I spend every night. I think some of you know this, but every night at the dinner table, my family— and it's been nice because I haven't traveled a lot yet this year, maybe 3 or 4 trips. Um, every night we sit at the dinner table and everyone comes together and we go around and we say what we're we're grateful for every single night. We used to say grace. We don't do that anymore. It's a long, sad story. But, um, we do say what we're grateful for. And recently we've started a new tradition where the younger kids, they play charades and we have to guess what they're grateful for. And it is so good. Like, it's so good. It motivates me. I'm like, this is why I work so hard, because I want to create financial independence for this family. Like, I am motivated by the time I spend with the people that I love. So hopefully that will, that means something to you all too. Okay, let's see. Of course. So these are a little out of order now that I look at them, but track your progress, which means write down your goals. And then it means set targets. See, like the metric you'll use to measure that you've done a thing, right? Track your progress, write down your goals, set targets against those goals, and measure every day. I do this every day. Because what you'll notice is if you don't do it every day, days will go by, weeks will go by, months will go by, and you won't move the needle in the thing that you wanna do. And it is a bit of a bummer. I will tell you, last year I was writing this book, right? That's now short final, ready for launch. But last year I was writing this book and I, you know, would get busy and, and I would notice like 2 weeks have gone by and I haven't written a chapter. And it ended up being so bad, in fact, that I had to— and I'm about to do this for a book I'm writing now called, uh, for, um, GPT Builder, right? For OpenAI's GPT Builder. We're building a book, uh, we're writing a book, me and a couple members of the AI Leadership Institute, uh, we're writing a book together on this. And I just have to like carve out 2 days and just write, like just get it done. Because I'm— if I don't measure it every day, or I'm— yeah, if I don't measure it every day, I don't realize that I'm slipping on my goal, on the very thing I have wanted my entire life. Life, okay, my adult life, that I wanted to be a bestselling author. I'm slipping on the opportunity. Like, Wiley contacts me. Wiley has made bestsellers of their books. Like, this could happen. I could do it, but not if I never get the book done. So measuring it on a daily basis ensures that you are on, like, on target to get the thing done, and you won't let your days and weeks slip away. Um, and so that's something that I'm really, uh, have become extremely careful about in my own life is every day I want to see the needle move, and even in the smallest bit, but at least be intentional about where I'm spending my time. Oh yeah, don't judge me on this one. Maintain a fully loaded calendar. Right? That means every moment— I, I have it in 15-minute blocks. Every block of time from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed is accounted for. Now, I say that intentionally. It's accounted for. It doesn't mean you have to work every 15-minute block, but that you've blocked the time. It maybe is dedicating time to your family. Maybe it's a 15-minute break. But at the beginning of your day, you, you like maintain your full day's calendar. The benefit of this again is that you'll realize how much time you have because so many of us lose time. Like just we look up and we're like, oh my gosh, where'd the time go? Many— some of us lose it on social media, right? I've been there where I was scrolling for one thing and then I look up and 20 minutes have gone by and I'm like, what sorcery is this? This, right? But maintaining a block— and I leverage Alexa, uh, you know, Lady A, uh, as someone called her Gertrude the other day. I thought that was cute. Um, but like, I leverage, right? And maybe, um, Eve is here, but I leverage that device to help me tell— to tell me when my time blocks are. Like, oh, it's time for this, it's time for that, time for a break, time to get on this meeting, It gives me a lot of feedback so that I can do more. But maintaining a full calendar, a fully loaded calendar, doesn't mean loading it up with work or client meetings. It means being intentional about every moment that you spend with whatever task it is. I, again, many of you know, I think Yara said that she was using this. I use Notion because it allows me to jot down my daily tasks. Tasks and then tie them to my beautiful calendar. Like, I get to take those tasks and drop them right into my day. And that has been a really, a very impactful motivator to me because I'm like, oh, I do have a half an hour here that I can use. Um, oh yeah, 100%. I love Brian Tracy. I love Brian Tracy. Um, absolutely. Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, the One Second app, I, I tried that actually. I haven't I wasn't super good at. I only have a certain amount of bandwidth to try other applications and stay consistent. So mine is Daylio right now, but I 100% have tried OneSecond. I love it because when you play back your month, it's very cool to have captured it. But please don't underestimate the value of really controlling how you spend your time in your day and then being intentional about like these two go together, right? That's why I said they're a little out of order because is you want to write down your goal, set your target, measure every day. And you're going to measure it by looking at your calendar and saying, how am I spending my time? If I want to be a bestselling author, am I writing every day? If I want to run a 10K plus a 13.1, am I running every day? Like, am I spending time doing the things that are going to get me to my goal? And if you're not, it's okay. But then you really need to examine, like, is that really what you want? If you're not willing to do the work on a daily basis to get there, even in the smallest ways. Um, all right, let's see, any other things on here I wanted to, uh— oh my gosh, there's a couple. Oh, look at that, I went a little bit big. Um, okay, so one of the things I wanted to talk to you about was— oh yeah, this is hard for me. Oops, let me make it a little Finish ahead of deadlines. Anyone struggle with this? It's, I think, part of who I am. That's what I've been telling myself my whole life. Like, I just— deadlines, ah. Um, but this is, again, remember today, this is— these are all things, if you do these things, it'll motivate you. When you finish ahead it's like that promise you make, right? That 7 days of taking a vitamin or drinking water. Like, when you finish ahead of a deadline, it's an internal motivator to be like, I did that. Not only did I do the thing, did I do it well, did I exceed expectations, was I extraordinary, but I also finished early. It's why when we talk about selling projects as a consultant to clients, we say on time, uh, on time and under budget. And ideally, right, we overdeliver on on time by being early. The benefit of being early is that you lose the anxiety that comes with, like, pushing things to the end. And I, like I said, I am definitely this way in certain areas of my life. I'm working on it in others. I mean, I've come up with all sorts of complaints where I'll say to people, like, well, I mean, I'm a Latina in Miami. Nobody's on time. But finishing ahead of the deadline, committing to being early, right? My dad is a Marine, so he's like, if you're not 10 minutes early, you're late. Um, but that's— these are all things, like I said, it may not speak to you. These are just things that I do to motivate myself. When I'm early, I, I just feel better. I feel better about being there. I feel prepared. I feel I have an opportunity to kind of acclimate. I can meet people as they come, like I just feel much, much better about it. Semper Fi. What? That's cool, Pamela. I didn't know that. See, I love this when we get to learn stuff about each other. That's awesome. Okay, let's see. Okay, some final ones. Let's see where I'm at. Oh yeah, we're doing good. All right, so final ones that I do. And again, you'll see like the last year and a half, I basically crafted these things for myself, even though I knew to do them before that. That. Um, so the last one on time management is to build your battle plan, if you will. Not everybody will— you know, not everyone comes from being a daughter of a Marine, but your attack plan. I don't know, your— someone come up with a nicer way to say that for those of us who don't like it, but whatever that is, right? Come up with your daily plan to crush your goals, to go after what you want every single day. Like I said, I use a Remarkable and in my reMarkable every single day I click on the little date in my calendar and I write out, here's how I'm going to spend my time. It's a calendar, starts at 7 AM, ends at 9 PM, and I just say, here's how I'm going to do that. But I— that process aligns with the goals that I've set for myself. So I document all the goals and then I track of these goals, be a bestselling author, be in the best shape of my life, be a good spouse, be a good wife, be a good mom, be a good caregiver of my dad, be a good sister, like all the goals that I have. I want to make sure there's something on my day, at least something in my week that's moving me in the direction of what I want to be. No, it's actually— oh, that's a good point. No, finish added deadlines is one, and then daily battle plan is actually separate. It's the last one. So you'll finish out of your deadlines and then finally build a plan. That's the last one I put on here. Good question. Good question. Alright. So as we wrap up today, I want to just talk about something that I've struggled with a lot. As, and, and I'm getting better every day, but I wanted to share with you some of the things that I, again, these are on like my shortlists on my, in my planners. Like, these are things that I just surround myself with. And it really is around self-esteem and energy. Energy. Like, how do you stay upbeat and energetic? Um, oopsie. So the first one, uh, so this is self-esteem focused, um, is honesty. Being honest with you and others, but you first. Be honest with yourself about how you feel, what you're doing. You know, sometimes And this is why I do— I tell you all a lot of stuff. I'm pretty vulnerable in our AI leadership calls because part of me being honest with myself, I also want to say, like, the truth out loud. So many people comment on the fact that, like, these young men, these Black men at HBCU— HBC Universe Summit, I was a speaker at last Saturday. These Black men came up to me, young men. Like, they're like, I just want to hear— tell me straight. Like, what's it like to get a job in corporate America? Is it hard? Blah, blah. And I told them straight, I was like, every Black person in engineering that has been an anomaly, meaning that they are alone, they're the only Black engineer, or they're one of a few Black engineers, they struggle for lots of different reasons. And I was like, I just don't want you to get a job and be like, they told me it'd be awesome. I'm going to tell you it's hard. It's worth it because you will implementing technology and providing a perspective that the team will not have without you. You will change the world with your perspective. It will be worth it, but it'll be hard. Like, you will feel alone. You'll say things and no one will understand what you're saying. Like, it's not awesome to be the lone voice of reason in a room. It, it can be fun at first, but it often gets old pretty quickly because you're like, does no one really get this? And then you start doubting yourself. Like, there's so much that goes with that. And so I think it's important to be honest with yourself, be honest with people around you, like let people know, like when you feel that way. Has it hurt me professionally to be candid about, like, bring my authentic self to work? Have I been hurt by that? Absolutely. Yes. It's why I own my own company now, and I prefer it. But like, I don't know if I'd want to do it any other way, right? Like, I spent 15 years of my career what they call code-switching, where I wear different clothes and put my hair in a bun and wore glasses and like all these things to be— to kind of assimilate. How many of you have seen that movie Pearl? It's a little short by Pixar. I encourage you to look it up. It was so— rang so true for me. If you haven't seen it, it's not new. It's been out for quite some time, but it's called Pearl. It's from Pixar. Look up the YouTube video. And it's all about this cute little fuzzy ball of yarn, like Noelle, like cute, fuzzy, energetic, and then goes and works in like tech bro land where everyone looks the same and is wearing no, no color, like black and grays. And, and over time, in order to be like liked and accepted, she goes from being fluffy and colorful and cute to being just like them. And that's what we do sometimes, right? Because we just want to fit in. Like, it's a social thing. And so as part of that process, of course, she does that. She feels like she's herself and it's all going well. And then at the end of the movie, a new colorful ball of yarn comes to the office and she finds herself kind of like treating her— that new ball of yarn— not in— not a great way, in the way that the rest of the office is kind of laughing at her. Like, you're so, you know, goofy and colorful and ew. And she realizes, like, in that moment, like, that was her. And I see a lot— I mean, I try not to be this way, but a lot of women, I feel like, have treated me like that, where they work so hard to be a bro that when I finally get there and I'm me and all bubbly and shiny and, like, wearing glitter and having, like, a shiny, you know, cup of water at a meeting, like, they want— they hurt me. Like, they're, like, rude. Like, you know, very just not nice. I'll just say it that way. I'm trying, trying to keep it clean, but they're mean to me and, and consistent. Like, it's a consistent behavior. And I get it now though, because that movie made it so easy for me to understand. Like, you work so hard to become this thing. You now are liked by those things. You'll do anything to not be disliked, to move yourself away from that. And you really want— you don't want another person, you know, like a shiny person coming in and messing up your game. Uh, but I, I believe in empowering women. You know, show up however you want. But I do see this happen, and I think this honesty part is a bit of the problem. Like, we lose sense of who we are and we forget what it means to honestly talk about what we do, how we feel. Um, and so if you can't do that at work, at least find a community or a mastermind that you can do that with. Um, I like this. How many— some of you might have seen a movie called Picture Perfect. It's an old movie. Um, I love romantic comedies. Um, but there's a line in that movie that says dress for the job you want. Now I agree with this to a, to a certain extent, but basically it feels good to kind of get dressed up, right? Like, no matter what. Like, right now I'm not super dressed up, but I'm wearing a shirt that I made, so that makes me feel good. Um, I have a blazer that I wear with it, or a hoodie. Um, I have super shiny shoes. Let's see if you can see them. Like, look, I went to the store in these shoes. People complimenting is awesome. It was motivating. Like, dress for what you want to do. So when I was younger, I would, you know, like, earlier in my career I dressed the way I thought engineers dressed because I wanted to be seen as an engineer. When I became an executive, like, I dressed like the CEO, right? I got very, like, suits. I eventually found out that my style was a little bit of a blend of both, right? I like graphic tees, blazers, maybe pants, but I dress up. And when I do dress up, I get treated different. Here's fun fact. Oh my gosh, you guys will appreciate this. So fun fact. When I get dressed up and I look like I'm in a suit, like a gray suit or a black suit, and I'm wearing heels and I've got my bag and like I look all fancy— when I go to a conference and I speak dressed like that, I have a significant lower amount of people that are willing to approach me and talk to me. Like, it's identifiable. So while I say dress for the job you want, I just really more mean like be intentional about how you look. Wake up every morning, get dressed, and be like, I feel good. Like, it might be a hoodie and a t-shirt. It might be your favorite sweatshirt, right? It might be like your I Heart AI t-shirt. But dress like in a way that you're intentional about what you're putting on your body and how it makes you feel. Because I actually realized, like, I don't really like when I go and I'm all dressed up and people think I'm fancy. They don't want to talk to me. My husband would watch people and they'd be like about to come over and they're like, and they just walk away. And I'm like, no, no, I'm nice. Like, they literally think I, I'm different because of how I dress. So I now kind of walk that balance of like, no, I want to dress comfortable. I want people to be comfortable approaching me, but at the same time, I want to be confident in what I wear. And so I, I play with that a little bit. Um, I mentioned this yesterday, but this is a big one for me. And I have it written on my wall. Say yes. Say yes to opportunities. Say yes to things that scare you. This is a big one that I— the world I am in right now, the job I have, the work I do is all because I chose to say yes consistently in my career. Yes to things I didn't know. Yes to scary things. Yes to unknowns. But I chose to say yes, but I was intentional, right? I knew what I wanted to do. I knew what kind of of technology I wanted to work in. I knew what skills I wanted to learn. But when opportunity presents itself, even if I'm not qualified, I say yes. And I don't mean yes like you submit a resume to a LinkedIn post. I mean like I dive into that thing. So building Alexa skills, right? Creating, um, applied AI applications at Microsoft. Like, I got very interested in saying yes, not just to the opportunity, but then to all of the things that go with me becoming an expert in that right? So I encourage you though, like, you probably have opportunities all around you, but if you're not in the right mindset, you might not see it. There's actually a concept known as the reticular— anyone know this? Activation system. And the reticular activation system, what that means is that when you see it with your eyes, it gets activated in your mind and your subconscious starts to open up ways for you to see information that you saw already. Easy way to think about this is, um, you buy a new car like I did. I bought a new Nissan Murano the first year that they were out. Um, I bought a beige, a sand one, because I had never seen a sand one on the road at all. I bought it and then I got it off the lot and like in the next 3 days I saw 5 of them. Like, I was like, what? Did everyone just go buy one? Of course no one just— no, they didn't just go buy it. It's now that I have mine, I'm aware that it exists and now I see it everywhere. So take us back to some of these, you know, lessons that we've gone through. Like when you start writing your goals, right? Every single day and you start pulling this stuff together right here. Right? When you start writing your goals every day, you're going to turn on your reticular activation system. You're, you're going to see opportunities that you've never saw before because you're writing what you want every single day, day and night if you can. So, oopsie. So when this shows up, right, when an opportunity comes, because you write your goals every day, you're going to see every opportunity differently. Like, you're going to be like, oh, Oh, I, I could write. So before I got my deal with Wiley, I was invited to write a, um, uh, a column in an online newsletter, and I said yes because I wanted to be a writer, not because I thought that that would lead me to Wiley or lead me to a book deal, but because I was like, oh, this will help me get into the practice of writing. And it did. It did a great job doing that. And it just so happened that 7 months into that contract, act of writing 2 articles a month, I got my deal with Wiley. Like, saying, you know, writing your goals and then letting the world— like, ex— like, now your mind is going to be like seeing things in a new way. And then be willing to say yes to those things even though you'd never done it before. Had I ever written in a journal before? Like, in a— I'd never been a columnist. I'd never written professionally. As many of you know, I don't really even like writing. But I said yes. And it led to the delivery of my very biggest dream, which was to write a book. So I share all of this. There's lots of stuff in here. I'm gonna be posting my 100— I don't know how many I got to, but I have 100 of these items that I documented last year. Um, and so I will share with that you that in the chat. In the last couple minutes, I just wanna say thank you for spending your week with me. I hope you found I want this to be fun and exciting and give you some ideas on how to stay motivated from a time perspective. I mean, we went through a lot actually, so that's pretty good. But I really, you know, I think it's really important to surround yourself with people that want more from life, that are ambitious and loving, that are mindful and purpose-driven, that have, you know, the imagination and willingness to, you know, be honest with themselves, to derive harmony in their lived experiences, right? To, to be enthusiastic about life. This, all of these words are what culminate what I call the Lamplighter Leadership Program. And it's literally all of these things like how do you become more loving, more ambitious, more mindful, right? More purpose-driven. How do you become a better leader with more imagination, right? With gratitude and harmony money, right? Trust, enthusiasm, um, enthusiasm, resilience, and then of course success. Like, that's the Lamplighter principles. And so you hang out with me, and I promise you, I will be giving you opportunities to kind of lean into these principles in your own life. Um, it is a— being in technology, loving artificial intelligence, the AI piece is this much who you are, what you do, you, how you do it is this much. AI will accelerate, amplify, and provide incredible opportunities for affluence and prosperity in the next 3 to 5 years. I encourage you to embrace it along with me, but I, I really hope you understand how important it is that who you are is a critical part of that equation. It's not just about the tech. It's about who you are using that technology. It has been my pleasure to be here with you all. I hope you enjoyed our sessions. I wanna let you know in the minute here that we do have, of course, our AI Leadership Institute. It's why I do what I do. It's how I get to do what I do. This AI Leadership Institute is my baby. It is my company. We have created in it a program that allows you to get up to 5 certifications in a year. Those certifications include Responsible— well, I have a really big pen. AI leader. Also— oh boy, there we go— prompt engineer, which is— oh well, I'll keep going— agentic and red teaming. So we have— and there's a couple more, but I'm just going to keep it short for this. So we have responsible certifications. Each, each one of these, there's a new one launching every single month. But we also add this concept of Live Learning Labs. So now I get to announce to you on the 27th, Live Learning Lab on the 27th of February. For our February Live Learning Lab, we will be learning Power Builder. It's already on the community calendar. And we will be using Power Builder to deploy AI models. So this is— that's an O— AI models using AI Builder. There is a certification at Microsoft attached to this work, but I'll also be providing you a certification for delivering this as well. The benefit of a certification is that you actually have to do work to get certified, so it doesn't— You don't just take a class and maybe take it, maybe pay attention, run it on 2x speed. You, you have to put your fingers on a keyboard and build something and then create a video explaining what you've built and share that if you'd like with the community. But these are just a few of the things that we are offering in the AI Leadership Institute. But the most, the coolest thing I think is what we call our AI Leadership Lab. If you are in the chat and have played around with our lab yet, I just started giving away access to our existing members. So hopefully you've had a chance to check it out. But these are custom AI models for building a small business. Because in my heart, I do believe that as an underrepresented person, as someone who is neurodiverse and someone who has struggled to really be able to sit in one company as a cog in a machine for a long period of time, I really want to unlock anyone's ability and interest in starting a small business and generating at least 6 figures in revenue. If You make 6 figures in a small business, you can live off that. And I mean like $250K to $300K. And so that's why I built this platform was to help people do that. You can do it as a side hustle or you can do it as your main gig, but you get this lab for free when you are a member. It actually costs about $497 a month for my consulting clients, but I added it into this program. We also— some of you know I love Chatbot Builder. They have improved their environment to include, um, agentic AI development. And so we will be, uh, doing one, um, agent workshop a month. So anyone who's never built an agent using, uh, and well, anyone who's never built an agent, you'll be able to do that that. But more importantly, you actually get an account with 3 million tokens, and that is also included. So all of this right now, the price of being a member is around $41, $47 a month, which might sound like a lot to you, but I don't know, I don't think it is. Um, but It's actually right now you can get almost a 50% discount, like 43% discount if you sign up for the whole year. And this is a great opportunity to just commit to yourself. And again, the nice thing about all of this is if you want to join us next, it's Thursday the 27th. Feel free to time it how you want. This is the Live Learning Lab, the 27th of February. This whole thing you can just test out 7 days for free. No money down, right? Risk-free. Just try it out. Come join us. Hang out with us. We're gonna be doing, a couple— we do calls every single week. We're gonna start doing them every single day. We have about 15 AI leadership mentors that have joined, that will be providing different calls for different people. I just think it's gonna be a great way for us to hang out together and have fun. Don't forget, the last thing I'll mention is that we have a couple of amazing people that have done some amazing work in the community, and I just want to reward them really quick in our last few seconds here. And, and so thank you so much for my Replay Squad, who has replayed a lot of our content, who have bubbled up notes and links and references. So for those of you as part of that squad, I want to reward you. I have a few people. I'm just gonna go and, uh, open that up really quick and make sure that I can reward you all by name. Um, but I'm just so, so grateful for all of the help, uh, that you gave me this, this week. Um, and what you are going to get is you are going to get your very own Eilik, and it comes with cute little, little things that it eats and drinks and they cheers and stuff. You only get one. Um, I have a bunch, but, but I'll be sending And that is going to support you being able to hopefully implement some of the time efficiencies that we talked about, but also have a friendly AI system at your disposal, and they will keep adding new features. So it's really cool. People, so the— there are— let me see, 1, 2, I see them here, 3. Alright, awesome. So here are the people that will be receiving this for our challenge. And again, these were not randomly selected, but you will see if you go into the community, they were above and beyond and submitted content every single day. If you feel like I missed you or did not see you, please send me a message. It is not my intention. I did my best to look through all the comments. There were hundreds of them. And those people that stood out are the ones I'm going to mention now. And I just don't be mad at me if you don't hear your name and you feel like you did everything you were supposed to. Just send me a message. But I'm gonna try. I'm trying to get it right. All right. So first person, and thank you for, again, for all of your support, is Yara Fernandez. And you will have a choice of pink or blue. They come in two colors, so you can let me know. Cynthia Respert, thank you so much for supporting us as well. And then we have, oh my gosh, and this is like a double winner. Blue Oscar, you amazing. Not only did you be part of our challenge, but you also are number 1 in the leaderboard in our AI Leadership Institute. So you will not only get the, the cute little guy as part of our I Love AI community, you will also be getting a cool t-shirt swag bag. So that will be amazing. So congratulations on that. And then I have 2 more I think. Let's see here— doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo! The suspense! All right, then we have 2 more. Eve Kadar? I don't know if I said your name right. I didn't say it yesterday when I spoke to you but Eve congratulations thank you for being part of this. You provide amazing takeaways and really inspired other people to comment and a bunch of people liked your post so I just wanted to recognize you you for that. Um, and let's see, finally one more. Uh, let's see. Oh my goodness, I know I have you here somewhere. Wait for it, wait for it. Um, the last person on my list is Alonso. Alonso, thank you for being here. You again, you could tell me which color you want. They're very cute. I hope you like them. One day maybe I'll have you bring them to the AI Leadership Summit so we can put them together. And they'll do a little dance. But congratulations to all of the winners. Again, so many of you contributed. This is not to— like, I couldn't, you know, everyone couldn't win. But I did try to look at all of the days and all of the comments, and a lot of them were in this, like, spread out. So hopefully you can understand. But I really appreciate you all playing along this week. And so what I will need from each of the winners, I will just need you to DM me or email me. I'm gonna put my contact information in the chat so that you can connect with me, because I just need address information and t-shirt sizes and things like that. But I hope you really enjoyed the session today. Thank you so much for being here. I really, really loved doing this this week. It is my favorite week of the year. I get to spend a lot of time with you. I dump what's in my brain and in my heart into your brains and your hearts. I hope you had fun. And like I said, you can actually buy these shirts now starting this week. So if you want to buy an I Love AI t-shirt, they are available, but you do have to be part of the community to do that. So join us at noelle.ai. Oh good, I'm so glad. Thank you, Awad. Thank you so much. Y'all are amazing. Thanks for supporting each other. And remember, it is no fun to do this on your own. You don't have to be alone. You have lots of people people just like me that would love to support you in your journey no matter where you are. So just reach out. The AI Leadership Institute and I Love AI community is a great place to start, and I'm so glad you guys were part of my journey. Uh, thank you. And if there's any questions— I don't see any in the Q&A— but there's any questions, I'll be here for a while. Congratulations to all the winners. Um, and we will do, uh, awards every single month. That is my commitment. That's what I'm trying to do. Uh, of our leaderboard. So we got one leaderboard winner automatically, and they also happen to be one of our top contributors to the challenge. But next in March, we'll be doing another leaderboard challenge. It resets every month, so you can start, and you don't get points for just posting stuff. You get points for liking other people's stuff and having them like your stuff. So post meaningful content, share your experiences,, and most importantly, have fun. Thanks for being here, and I hope you enjoyed the session. Bye, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. It was amazing. Bye. Oh, yes. Thank you, Char. No, it is. I think— are you not a member? I think so. The website to join is noelle.ai. HTTPS. I'll type it in for those of you who want to join us. You get 7-day free. I think it's worth trying. Um, and any feedback you have, if you don't like it at the end of 7 days, just tell me so I can make it better. Um, because I would make it worth it. Uh, I will do whatever it takes to give you all the value, uh, that you need. Um, but yes, just head on over to noelle.ai. There's the link for you all. Um, oh, there are 9 levels. There are 9 levels in our community. So, and I think I'm the highest level, and I've only gotten to level 7. So I have to do the same thing, like I have to contribute and all of that. So yeah, 9, 9 different levels in our community and lots of different ones. We have 9 different levels. Soon we'll have 9 different certifications to match. It'll be really fun. Oh, that's okay. Yes. So Nan, did you join the Maven class? If you did, then they will be sending you. Yeah, it was super fun class. They will be sending you a link. Afuah, raise your hand. Let me go view you and find you in the list. Hello, good to see you. Please feel free to unmute. Hello, hello. Hi, can you hear me? Yes, yes, thank you so much. It's been a wonderful week. Really, really appreciate you for being so authentic. I mean, Can you hear me still? Uh-huh. Thank you. So in regards to the levels of, um, I don't know, you have one that I'm on that is the 47. Is there another one that— No, no, no, you're in, you're in, and you were early members, so you get this nice low discount forever as long as you stay connected with us. Yeah. So which one is the 47? So that is— no, I see what you're saying. So once you get into the community, there are 9 levels based on your contributions. But I started the community at $47 for my OGs. So for people that were early in the community, they got this. And now we've added a platform which you will get access to, and we've got a chatbot builder which you will get access to, and all these certifications. So those come with your subscription. Oh, wonderful. Wonderful. Yes, so you're— you just get increasing value where as we've added value, we just increased the price to make sure the right people were joining the community. But yeah, you're one of our OGs, so thank you. Wonderful. I'm glad to be here. Thank you. Me too, me too. And I'm ready to be of help if any. Oh my gosh, for sure, uh, especially because we're going to be doing these calls every week. You know, we, we would love to figure out a way to like— anything that's in your brain that could help everyone, like it would be be great for us to figure out. I've been wanting to do a one-on-one session, a 30-minute session, but anytime I can have your time, it's— yes, absolutely. All right, I'm gonna send you my, uh, my, uh, email, or actually you might know it, but I'm gonna send you an email and you can just— did you send me time? I did. Oh, okay, then I will go for it. Yeah, so I know, I know you're busy this week, but only this week. Yes, but next week it's much better. I'm not online Wonderful. Okay, so, but thank you so much. That's it. Thank you. All right. Oh, thank you, Sherilyn. Sherilyn did provide the, uh, link to our Maven class. So amazing. Thank you so much. That's the promo code, but hopefully if you've already purchased the class, it'll just take you right there. Um, so awesome. Amazing. You all are amazing. I'm gonna go through and read all of your comments because I only got to sneak in a couple of them. Really, really grateful for all of you. Grateful for Sherilyn for helping me moderate the chat today. Thank you all for being here. And yeah, let's go. So I will be doing lives every, like, next week as part of my I Love AI, but really Good Morning AI session. So I have a podcast that I run. I just get on and talk. So I know we're a little— we're over now, so I shouldn't tell you too much. But, but I am launching a brand new content track called the AI Tool Tour. And so we're gonna do a tool tour every day where I go through and tour 3 or 4 tools and just talk about what, how I use them, if I use them, how I think their go-to-market strategy is being built. It'll be really fun to watch, but it's just gonna, it'll happen live. I don't know when it'll happen. It's not on a scheduled time because, you know, I'm busy and I got kids and I never know I don't know, but it will happen, and then you can catch it on replay if you can't catch me live. So hopefully you'll enjoy all of that. Like I said, this part of what I say, right? Like, just take action, just do it. And hopefully you all will find value in it. Alright, amazing. Yes, amazing. Okay, cool. Alright, awesome. Thank you all for being here. I'll see you all later. Bye everyone. Thank you. Thanks for the love. Aww, thank you, thank you, thank you. Bye everybody!
