I LOVE AI With Noelle

Hi everybody, it is Noelle. Welcome to I Love AI. This is our weekly call where our community comes together. We're super excited. Can't, can't believe it's already, it's Tuesday. We usually meet on a Friday, but we're meeting on Tuesday cuz I was in a fun city headed to Portugal on Friday, so I didn't have a chance to meet with you all. But we're here live and we just got off stage, so we're here in the Zoom. If you are part of the I Love AI community, you can join us the Zoom, you just head on over to the community, go to the calendar and click on the link and you can be in this call as well. If you are not part of our community yet, it is not too late. All you have to do is go to noelle.ai and click on what, on the I Love AI Community and you'll be right here. So you just have to join. We have to like, of course we vet everybody and make sure that you're not like a bot or anything. But once you're in, you get to enjoy, uh, hanging out with us in the Zoom, getting to know each other, doing speed networking and getting access to some of the really cool tools and resources and links that we share, um, in this group. So welcome everybody. Thanks for being here. Um, super awesome. So yeah, I think actually all the links were basically the links in the chat were all the links for like Facebook to go and see the thing that I just did. Um, so everyone, I just literally had an opportunity. I think some of you saw it on LinkedIn. I got a request to join a stage for the Los Angeles Tribune, which is pretty cool. Um, Los Angeles Tribune. I got a chance to meet with a few members of a brand new campaign. Actually, they reached out to over, I think they had over 20,000 people that they extended an invitation to, to join this movement, which basically is Pay It Forward. I don't know how many of you remember that movie back in the day. There was a movie called Pay It Forward. I, I don't remember it exactly, but I do remember I cried. Such a good movie. I remember crying. It was so good, right? Yes, it was such a good— Osment. Yes, yes, with the I see dead people guy. Um, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I— and, uh, Artificial Intelligence, he was in that movie too, wasn't he? He was the little robot guy kid. Um, amazing. So really great movie, but this movement was really specifically geared towards Puerto Rico. And in— it was geared towards Puerto Rico to enable the Puerto Rican community to really just embrace connectivity, music, culture. And of course, Lisa, who was moderating the panel you all just saw, she invited me to become part of it because she wanted to— I mean, as you saw, it was a very diverse group. There were musicians, there were producers. There was also someone who was a Paralympic athlete, a medal-winning Paralympic athlete in judo who is blind, and he has his own campaign. It really made me think about an extension of something that Sherry, you did a few weeks ago on kind of ageism and technology. I think we really should focus on accessibility for one of our sessions. I also, I think Renee or someone reached out about hosting one of these sessions. So I do wanna let you know you do have the opportunity to host one of our I Love AI sessions, and we just encourage you to— oh goodness, there you are. Just encourage you all to let me know what topic you wanna talk about, and you are welcome to take the stage and invite people to have a conversation. The one Sherri did just a few weeks ago was a huge success. We had, uh, hundreds of people watch that session, and it was really cool. I don't know if you even know, like, looking at the YouTube stats, but I look at stats all the time. Um, so it was really cool, and lots of comments, uh, that came not just during the live event but on the replay, which I always say, like, that's the benefit of doing calls like this and, and being willing and courageous enough to share this with LinkedIn and YouTube and Facebook, is that people will watch this over the next week, month, years, uh, and come back and be like, oh my gosh, that was so interesting that you all talked about that. And that's what— so well done, Sherri. So thankful for you doing that and very excited to host a couple more people over the next few weeks now. So that, that was really awesome. It was like a 30-minute panel with people I didn't have a chance to meet ahead of time, but I was kind of the, the technologist, right, on the panel. Um, but the content that they were asking us to speak about was not technology, but I like to weave it in. So I don't know if you all heard, uh, they had asked a question about what was the, what's something that most people don't know about me. And I do think that I always tell people that I built a ton of skills for Alexa and, and in the mindfulness category, but not a lot of people know all the other 100 skills that I built. Like only 2 of my skills, maybe, maybe 5 did very well. 95 did well, but not as well as those top 5 did. And so I talked about my kindness. Apps that every Christmas it ends up being one of the most popular apps on the platform. So every Christmas I get in Fortune magazine for the top 10 things you can say to Alexa this Christmas season. So I look forward to getting a chance to do that again this year. So it's really cool. But now, of course, I don't know with this new Alexa Plus and the new LLM, I don't know what's going to happen with my skills. Who knows? Who knows?

We'll see.

We'll see. But I'm excited for it. I'm still only just now testing out some of the capabilities on Alexa Plus. It's sitting here. My new favorite thing is to play the Golden song from Demon Hunters. Do y'all know it? If you don't know it, I'll play it for you. Don't, don't tempt me with a good time. But every morning I play it in my bathroom and it's awesome. And the reason I like it is because it shows the lyrics and about a third of the lyrics are in Korean. So I get to learn Korean. That's like, it's awesome. It's awesome. Anyway, so this past week I got an opportunity to do a few things. One, I got a chance to be, be the keynote, the closing keynote at an event called DFA, the Diversity and Flexibility Alliance. And that conference, they celebrated organizations and leaders who are really paying attention to what the world of AI plus humans looks like and how do we create more flexibility for human workers? How do we create more space in a human worker's day so that they can be creative and ideate on cool things. So that was an amazing event. It was in DC. Got a chance to meet with Sherry for breakfast at our favorite place, Poets and Busboys, Busboys and Poets. Anybody know this place?

Busboys and Poets.

Busboys and Poets.

Very famous place.

Yes, very famous. So I love, I love that place. I was introduced to it actually from a good friend, Dia. Do y'all know Dia? She's at AWS Responsible AI. If you remember her last name, Dia? Dea, I can't remember her last name right now. We're on a first name basis. Is it Nguyen?

Dea Nguyen?

Yes, Dea Nguyen. Thank you. So Nguyen, of course Nguyen. Um, so Dea Nguyen, uh, is, uh, in DC and I, I, she was the one who introduced me to that place, uh, years ago. And so, um, yeah, I'm really glad we got a chance to do that. Uh, I then got a chance to host a, um, I was one of the keynotes at a mastermind event for entrepreneurs, really business owners that were making, uh, between $1 million and $20 million a year. And were looking for ways to amplify their organization and grow in 2026. And so I got to take a little bit of a different approach than typically I'm— usually I'm talking to companies that are very large, right? Visa, FICO, you know, um, Johnson Johnson, Goldman Sachs. Like I'm talking to these huge organizations. This was a chance to talk to companies that are still doing very meaningful work. They're serving thousands of customers.. But the scope and, and the ability they had to implement AI was just different. And so I got a chance to really show them what they could do in the short term. And I shared with them 7 specific things, 7 AI solutions that I think every business owner needs, but those specifically who have built a product made like that product is valid, viable, it's made money, it's in the market. How do you scale that from $1 million to $10 or $10 to $100?, and what 7 AI systems should every company have in place. Lucky for some of you, you've heard some of these before cuz we cover these same 7 solutions in our AI, uh, AI Business Accelerator. And some of you will be going through these 7 solutions in our 90-day cohort that starts in January. So that's super exciting. Uh, but I left, I did that on Friday, Friday night I got on a plane and headed to Portugal. Some of you saw my, uh, little recap, at least one part. I have a 3-part recap that's happening. So Part 1 is out now, um, and that was on my, uh, opportunity to speak at the Coliseum inside Porto. Gorgeous, gorgeous facility. If you want to see some of those pictures, you can head over to my LinkedIn profile. You'll see it posted there. I mean, it was amazing. 1,200 people, uh, but in this like beautiful— it reminded me of like a Broadway stage, right? Hamilton, where there's a stage and then there's the, the mezzanine level and there's like the orchestra level. The mezzanine level, the higher level. It was awesome. I was like, this is so cool. Uh, so I got a chance to share with them, but the audience there was ICCA, the, uh, ICCA or ICCA World Congress. And that Congress was all about, it was for event professionals. So people who put on the events that we are experiencing. And I think it's a very interesting time for event professionals right now because I don't know if you know this, I'm this person. I actually, I'm interested and very eager to meet in person with people, like to get in a room and connect with people. We do it virtually every week, but I keep telling you all, like, 2026 is the year we actually get in person at an AI leadership event, like legit face-to-face, right? There's so much that happens in live events, in an opportunity to meet face-to-face with people, connect with people live, and hear from experts live. And so these people put on some of the largest events in the world. And it's the entire staff from those who are trying to find attendees and get attendees to come, those that are in charge of the event experience and making sure that that's enriched. I was at, um, oh, what was it called? AVIXA, I think. Uh, a, a another AV event for event planners. And they showed me, how many of you have seen like smoke at events, right? Where they put like, it's almost like a fog machine in order to get the lights to show. I was at this event for event planners and they were showing how you could use bubbles instead. And I was like, I am all about the bubbles. But it is that kind of innovation, right? Like, why do we do, why do we keep doing the things we, we have always done to solve the problems we have always had? Because it's easy, but it's much harder, but also much more rewarding to think, how can I solve this differently? And that's where AI comes in. You maybe you don't use AI to actually build the solution, but at least help you think outside of the box, help you, help you think in a divergent way. So some of us, we're divergent thinkers by, by trade, but many of us kind of get into a rut. We, we do something for 20 years and we can't really think about doing it any other way. But that's where AI systems really can help augment our creative cycles and just get us outside of the way that we typically think about things. And that is where true opportunity lies, or at least that's been my experience so far. So from that perspective, that was amazing. I love the EventPro space. What I did on Saturday, I got to lead a vibathon where 125 people, got an opportunity to split off into groups. And the first, I don't know if you know this, but with vibathons, it's a little different than hackathons. So I've led hundreds of hackathons in my day, maybe 400 hackathons. I did 200 in one year at, when I was working at Alexa. And these hackathons, the, the technology was so hard that you really only had about an hour, maybe two of a two-day hackathon to work on the problem you wanted to solve because you needed all the other time to build the technology. What's beautiful about the world we're in now is that with a vibathon, which we're gonna do one on Black Friday, if y'all wanna not shop and you wanna come and learn something, you could do that. But on Black Friday, we're gonna do a vibathon where you actually, you spend more of your time at a vibathon, right? The distinction is that you spend more time thinking about what you want, creating clarity of thought, right? Clarity of purpose. What do you wanna build? How do you wanna build it? Who are you going to serve? What data do you have? How are you going to design it? Human AI experience design. You're gonna spend 75% of your time in a vibathon thinking through what this solution will look like, because you only need an hour, maybe two, to vibe it out in a platform like lovable.dev or, uh, Bolt or Replit or any other tool that you all wanna think about. I'm a believer in Lovable. Lovable's been very nice to me. Uh, Microsoft's been very nice to me. Who did I— oh, I'm about to launch a, a campaign around IBM's new Orchestrate platform. Have y'all seen it? All right, I'm gonna change your life a little bit. So Orchestrate is a new platform. You can get access to it. It's free to get access to for 30 days. You'll see I'm gonna do a series on, on what I've been building, but I'm just a fan of unlocking human potential. And if you can get a tool that doesn't require you to learn Python, doesn't require you to know data, schemas and data infrastructure just allows you to unleash an idea and get a sense of what that could look like. That I think is a truly powerful thing to, to give to your organization. So we did that. We ended up making, not making, maybe I did make them, but they did it happily. We got every single team got up on stage. You know me, I like people to present their ideas as part of their experience. So every single team got on stage and presented. And some of them, there was a student team that was phenomenal. They got up on stage and they openly, vulnerably said they were terrified to be on stage speaking, but they were like, this is terrifying. But they did it anyway. And if that's not the like vibe of AI, like have a great idea, maybe you're nervous about it, maybe you're worried, but build it anyway. Take that step. Get it out into the world and be willing to share with people your ideas, your dreams, your vision of a world that you want. So that's what we got to do. And then on Sunday was when I spoke at the Coliseum and I got a chance to, to share my top tips for organizations in the event space specifically that could help them. And I shared those on LinkedIn so you guys can see it. Maybe I'll copy it over to the community for those of you who are not on LinkedIn. But thanks to all of you who joined me. Uh, today where I got a chance— I just got back yesterday after a very long day of flying. Uh, I don't know if you know, some of you are in the US, like, flying right now in the US is a little bit crazy. I'll just say that. Like, uh, every single flight has an unknown pocket of uncertainty. Every flight I've been on, other than the ones outside the US, but once you're coming to the US due to our shutdown situation and the TSA, uh, air traffic control, ATC. There's just a lot of uncertainty. And so every one of my flights have been delayed, but you never knew how much and for how long. Like, it's the most strange sensation to have massive ambiguity on travel while you're traveling. Uh, but I did it. I survived. Here was my secret to that success, is I just budgeted 3.5 hours of transfer time between my flights. And it turned out I made it home, uh, on time, or maybe a little bit late, but I definitely didn't miss a flight or get stranded anywhere. So if you're traveling and, uh, we haven't figured it out yet, uh, by the time you're listening to this, I would encourage you to just be very liberal in your time to travel. And when you have that liberal, like, time to work with, you don't get as stressed out. You don't have high levels of anxiety that you're gonna miss your flight. You can just sit and enjoy your life or shop. As I do. So that was what I did. Um, and then today I got a chance to be part of an amazing Puerto Rican, uh, initiative that was just launched today on 11/11. Welcome to 11/11, people. This is a special day. I was on a call earlier with the AI Leadership Institute when it was 11/11 at 11:11 Eastern Standard Time. And so that was an amazing moment. I'm glad I got to share it with some of my favorite people in the whole world. Um, and, uh, but today I got a chance to be part of a, uh, pay it forward campaign to pay kindness forward every day. And I encouraged the people listening to that session to think about it, not just through a be nice and smile to people, but also think about it through the lens of technology, right? How can you pay forward kindness, uh, enthusiasm, excitement, just positive vibes through the solutions that you build. And I personally, I mean, you can see I'm wearing my, uh, Lamplighters t-shirt. This is a set of principles that I created years ago that govern how I lead my organizations, my companies, my teams. And it's 12 principles, but the first 4 are probably what lead most of my decision-making. And that is leading with love, being, not being afraid to be ambitious, right? Being mindful and present in every moment and doing everything on purpose. And I'll say the last one again: doing everything on purpose. People always ask me like, how do you have so much energy? How are you so excited? I will tell them every single time, it's because I do everything on purpose. Everything I do is in alignment with the thing I am trying to do in this world, um, and ultimately that is create a world that is safe and, um, available to my children, accessible to my children. Not just my son who has Down syndrome, but all my kids. They all have diverse needs and diverse learning capabilities, and they all have different skills and different capabilities. And I want the world to be available and ready for them. And I want to create app applications. I wanna create opportunities. I wanna create businesses that tailor to that experience. And it's, it's a hard journey, but I love every second of it.

What do they say?

If you love what you do, it doesn't feel like work. And that's exactly the life I, I get to live these days. So what I wanna do, uh, quickly before we head into, um, some Q&A, uh, and if you have a question, certainly raise your hand. Uh, happy to do that. We'll do some Q&A, but then we'll also do our classic end of call meet and greet. So we get to meet each other and I'll propose a question to you, but I wanted to do something, uh, that I used to do a lot and I haven't done recently, but I have in my inbox, I follow someone, his name's Tim Ferriss. Do you know him? Some of you might not have heard of him for a while, but Every Friday he releases a, uh, an email that I look forward to all the time and it's called Five Bullet Friday. And now it's Tuesday, so it's not Five Bullet Tuesday, but I'm gonna share with you cuz what he does is he just gives me a lens into his view of the world on what he's reading, what he's watching, what he's, uh, like what apps he's building. Like it just gives a, a little bit of like what his world is like. And I thought I would do the same for you because I mean, I honestly would love to see us all do this. This is a great— maybe we'll do a challenge this week. Like, what are your 5 bullets? Like, what book are you reading? What are you listening to? What are you watching? Um, what are you eating? So I'm gonna give you my 5, uh, and it's a different 5 things, but I'm just gonna give you a lens on, um, on what I am working on these days. So the first thing I'm going to share with you is the book I'm reading, and it came from 2 separate sources. Completely unrelated, and they both said the same thing. And I was like, all right, maybe I need to listen to this. Why aren't you opening?

Oh no.

Okay, maybe I won't use this one. Maybe I'll try. Maybe I'll share it with you. Okay, there we go, I got it. Yay! Oh, oh, oh, hold on, I have to log in. Let me not— there. Oh my gosh, it's only—

okay.

Oh gosh, I'm gonna get myself locked out.

Yay, I'm in!

Okay, Kindle, dismiss Kindle. Oh gosh, I don't even know if it'll be in here.

Oh yeah, it is! Yay!

So, oh, it's gonna, um, let me see here. All right, I'm gonna try and go back to the home, the, the title page so you can see the title of the book. But this came out of, um, again, I didn't ask for this. People just gave it to me. And I always wonder, you know, because I don't know, do I look busy to all y'all? Um, so I'm pretty busy. I do lots of cool stuff. I'm trying to get to the, uh, title page here. I'm almost done with this book. Holy Christmas. I read, uh, quite a bit at— anyone know how on the Kindle to get the title thing to pop up? Come on, Kindle, give it to me! There we go, I did it!

All right.

Oh, dang it, it almost worked.

All right.

Is that the new one?

It is, but I broke it. So it— I literally broke it the second day I had it. But this is the new 11. Um, I'm gonna try to— so come on, Amazon, make it easy. If you go back to the beginning of the book, it'll show. That's the problem. I, I'm on page 140. How am I gonna do that? You just slide the slider at the bottom. No, no, where it, where it's showing like chapter 14 or whatever. Oh. Okay, got it now. I got it. Okay, found it. But yeah, the slider doesn't show up until you hit some point in here. Um, so I'm gonna go to the front so you can see it. Go to the beginning. Yay, thank you, thank you. There it is. So this is the book, Dan Martell, Buy Back Your Time. I feel bad because he is very active on social, and if I show this to you and you look him up, your social is going to get full of his stuff. So be careful. Um, But Buy Back Your Time, here is the premise, is, and I 100% agree with him, is that when you start a business and you start making money, you kind of get into this mode where you are told to hire people and you hire those people for roles, salespeople, marketers, video editors. And what his premise is, is that when you start making money in your business, the most important investment you can make is to identify how much money how much time, like how much, uh, how valuable your time is. In other words, what, like, let's look at 2025. How much money did you make all year? And divide that by 2,000, which is the number of hours in the year. That's your hourly rate. So now you know your hourly rate. That's how much every hour you spend on anything is that rate. I will tell you, I'll just make up a number, $500. So every hour I spend on anything is worth— is $500 if I'm actually like working. If I'm doing anything else that's not worth $500, I should consider outsourcing it or letting someone else, paying someone else to do it. There's two things that I loved about his premise. One is that when you look to hire people, you look to hire people so that you can buy back your time. It's not like creating a role and writing out a job description. It is more, Hey, the thing that takes me the most today, which Sherilyn, it's coming. The thing that takes me the most today is managing my inbox and not just my inbox, like my inbox, my calendar, my LinkedIn inbox, my DMs on Instagram. Like the amount of work I do to just kind of keep, and I still, things still fall through the cracks. So wouldn't it be more, and, and I spend a good 2.5 hours every day. That's what, $1,500 of my time that I am spending managing my inbox. Here's the cool thing. When you decide to buy back your time, I can employ someone, I can hire someone, I can pay them a wage that is a portion of my time. The rule he has is 25%. So you take $500, 25% of $500 is what you can pay someone else to do it, and that becomes your budget. But I can give a high school student, an intern, a VA, right? I can give them a job. I can employ someone. And if they actually, which there are people, some of you aren't this person, but there are people who actually like organization and email management and calendaring. Like they actually enjoy it. What if I could do more of what I love and they could do more of what they love and both of us get paid more? Like that's the dream, right? Like that you create a organization. So the first thing that he has you do is this audit where it says like, what, what's the worst use of your time right now? So I'm in the middle of this audit right now. I'm on day 3 and I already know, I'm already like, I need to not do this anymore. Why am I even doing this if it's not in alignment with the highest level of value that I can give? And by the way, that almost always ties to what you love to do, like literally what you love to do. So, um, so yeah, so I love this book. Uh, Dan Martell, awesome. I'm, I'm almost done with it now, but there are so many— like, it talks about SOPs and training your people, but the most valuable thing was just know how you are currently. I said the— I say this to you all the time, you know, like, your most valuable asset is your time. But how do you— what I don't know, what I haven't done even myself, is how do you hire to support the right use of your time. And in the past, I would— what, what has ultimately happened to me in, in other companies that I've either been in or other companies that I've owned is that I would delegate so much. I'd actually delegate the very things I love to do in order to grow the business. And this is like being very laser focused on what do you love and put it— he's got a quadrant. We maybe we do a workshop on it, but he's got a quadrant and, and there's a quadrant of productivity is the stuff that I want. So under no circumstances are those things the things I'm— and not all of them are financially beneficial, right? Not all of them make money, but all of them make— either make me happy, meaning either they generate high levels of energy for me like this call, right? Either they generate high energy or they generate high revenue. But everything else, I need to think about how I get someone else to do that, and someone else will be better for it. I can employ them, I can give them money. I can generate more money because I'm doing more things that I love. I can then take that generated money and buy back more of my time. So the— I mean, it becomes a virtuous cycle, which is something that, um, Jeff Bezos introduced me to 10 years ago. How do you create these, what he calls a flywheel, right? Where if I am paying someone to do things I don't like and I create more space to do things I do like, that becomes a flywheel that the more I do, the more I can give, the more I get paid. Like, I, you know, the more I focus on things I love, the more I of what I get to do. So anyway, pretty cool. I invite you— that's what I'm reading right now. Um, what I am listening to— I mean, I already told y'all, uh, but I share this with you because it's a good— the lyrics are just so amazing. Do you know the story? How many of you are familiar? Throw something in the chat or nod. I'm looking at you all. I'm familiar with like the K-pop Demon Hunters phenomenon that's happening in the world right now. If you're not, I'm gonna invite you to the party. Um, So the— it is a beautiful story, number one. But what I love, love, love about it is the songwriter. So the songwriter, a female Korean songwriter, she did not want to— like, she could have become a K-pop star and done all the things on the stages. She has significant— and some of you can relate to this— significant stage fright. Significant. Like, was willing to give up her dream if she— if it meant she had to get on stage. She's like, I'm not going to write. I'm not going to— like, I won't do it if I have to get in front of people. So people who recognized her talent said, how about we create an animation? What beautiful story. Like, how about we use AI to create a virtual version of you and we let that be your K-pop? Like, and of course now guess what she's doing? She's on stage now because it's so popular. People are so hungry. But it's kind of cool because now she She like, she's already known, right? She already feels like people already— that's the hardest part is the reason we don't get on stage and get in front of people is cuz we're worried people won't like us. Like if we thought everyone would love us, like you all, like you are always so nice to me. Like it's easy for me to talk to you all because you all are nice to me. If I thought you would be trolls and hate on me, I'd be much less interested in getting in front of people. So I love the story because she's an introvert, she has stage fright. But she's massively talented. And so this song, Golden, is one of my favorite songs. I listen to it every day. Um, but if you listen, so I'm telling you, I'm listening to it. So you can go and just play it on Alexa so you can watch the words or play it in, you know, one of your favorite music apps. Spotify does lyrics too. And just look at the words. It's very inspiring. Like it's me, it's my story. It's most of our stories of just being underestimated. And then what happens when we just let ourselves be ourselves? Like, what hap— what happens if we were brave enough to just be us? And the reality is, is that it kind of goes in line with this buy back your time. The more you give yourself time and freedom and financial capability to be yourself, to live your life, the more the world rewards you for that. Yes, Juan, let's go, Gabriela. Um, So 100% awesome, Scott. Yeah, so I love it. It's a great song. So that's what I'm listening to right now. Um, I am also listening to— someone mentioned this, was it Tara? Um, I'm also— so that's the song I'm listening to. The audiobook I am listening to right now is Brené Brown's new book, uh, Solid Ground, is it? No, I can't remember. Anyone remember what it's called? Um, it's something ground. I'm gonna show it to you right now. When I have strong, strong ground— strong— is that it? Okay, cool. Listen, but that is, um, so I had 18 hours on a plane, so I alternated between reading this book and listening to— and I love Brené Brown, I love her storytelling, um, uh, Audible. And so during Black Friday and— or during— what was it? No, during, um, Prime Days they had an Audible campaign where you could buy like 200— no, you could buy 25 credits of Audible for like a ridiculous discount. And so that's what I did. So I still have 15 credits left, but that's— it fuels me to use them more and more often. But, um, Strong Ground, yeah, that's it. But oh, and it had a, um— oh dear, I was about to play it. I don't know if I can see it. Oh, there we go. Oh, I can't see it. I have to take a picture and make it big. Lessons learned from daring leadership and the tenacity of paradox and the wisdom of the human spirit. It was again like all these things in my mind, like they end up being very, very connected. Like, she's all about authenticity, right? And then this song is all about authenticity. And then Dan Martell is talking about how do you buy back time so that you have the luxury of being authentic and showing up, doing the things that you love to do. I just think it's so cool because by themselves they don't seem connected at all, but they're very much connected. Um, watching— what am I watching right now? Hmm, let me think. I guess I'll go to YouTube and see what I'm watching. Um, yeah, so I don't watch TV. Uh, I don't really get caught up in those things. Oh my goodness. Um, but I will tell you— oh yeah, I told you all on the AI leadership call, let me see if I can pull it up for you. I watched a documentary that was awesome. So let's talk about, I mean, none of this stuff is AI specifically. Of course I will use it to amplify what I do in AI, but this is called, um, I think it was called Talking Games. Oops. There we go. I think it says Thinking Games. Thinking Games. Thank you. Thinking— it's because I'm talking. Thank you. Thinking Games is what it was called. Um, and I just picked up, uh, there it is. Oh my gosh, oops, let me share my— oh, it's called The Thinking Game, actually. So I'm gonna share this with you right now so you all can see it. Let me find you. Where's my Zoom?

There you are.

Share my screen. Um, There we go. So this is, uh, the documentary. It's so good, but it's good because we know this— we know him. We know he— we don't— maybe don't know him specifically, but we know his vibe. Like, he is super smart, as I believe all of you are, right? Whether you admit it to yourself or not. But he's like— he's brilliant, mind you. Probably one of the most brilliant minds in the world. But he's, he's brilliant But he has this moment where he unlocks this, like, what am I doing? What am I using my brain for? If I can be smart and do— like, if I have an incredible brain— and it happened when he was like 12. He had this unlock moment where he was like, I should be doing more important things. And so he went on and did some amazing things. I don't want to steal, you know, your beautiful moment of like watching this yourself, so I won't, uh, no spoilers. But this is what I'm watching. It was very, not only was it touching, it just reminded me of like days that we had at Alexa. It reminded me of what happens when you are brave enough to use your brain to build something, your brain, your lived experience, your like authenticity to build something and then put it out into the world in a way, like they ended up launching something into the world in an open source way that had never been open source before. And everyone told them they were crazy. And it changed the world forever. He ended up winning the Nobel Peace Prize for that work. So anyway, so I encourage you to watch it. It is amazing. Uh, I was— and it was on like United TV or whatever, so good for him. Uh, I didn't know, it didn't show up for me otherwise. So that— those are just some of the things, um, that I, uh, that I have been reading. I just thought I would share with you if you're, if you're on the hunt for something to read. Something to, to watch or, uh, something to listen to. Um, and of course I'm gonna actually post a, um, a, a, uh, community post and I'll share these resources with you. I'm gonna encourage you to do the same thing. So you can either create a separate post with your, you know, 5 things that you're kind of working on, or, um, you could just comment in the post that I provide and just share it with everybody. I think it's so cool. We're all reading different stuff. And so it'd be great if you're willing to share it. That would be fun. So that being said, thank you all for joining me on my impromptu session. One of the things that came up in our AI Leadership Institute, like in our members call, was this concept of— oh, let me not— I guess I don't have to share this anymore— is the concept of ethical prompting. And You know, I, many of us, because you're here, you're at least aware of AI. Most of us are. But one thing that often happens as you go down the rabbit hole of learning artificial intelligence, you often get very separated from who you were on day one. And Jeff Bezos uses this terminology of day one and always thinking like that it's day one of whatever you're doing. And it's kind of like the maybe Eastern Buddhist mentality of like the beginner's mind, like always approaching the world through this lens of like, I've never seen this before, I've never done this before. And I do, I try to do this as much as possible. What I find though is that especially in AI, as you are dra— you know, dragged into the rabbit hole of technologies and platforms and services and hype, we often forget what it was like the first day we got our education, the first day we started learning about this. And I want to let you know, because I'm on stages with people all the time across all industries, I am always humbled by the fact that I, I don't like think enough about what day one looks like. And that every single one of you, certainly those of you that are in the I Love AI community that have watched the, the masterclass, have taken the Bot Builder course. You are in the 1% of people that know how to build responsible AI. And I don't know that you know this, but that information you have in your head is valuable in the world right now. Most people, and I mean 90% of people, do not know how to safely and responsibly prompt, do not know the idea of customizing a model. Most people think ChatGPT, like, they just hit a million users a year, right? Which is awesome for them. Yay, Sam Altman. Good for you, buddy. Um, they had a million, but, or a million, I said a year, I meant a week. A million active users a week. That's crazy, number one. But it's also, they're the people that are using it are everyday people, which means they have not taken a class on how to use it responsibly. And so I'm interested in understanding from you all, your perspective. I'm like, you know, I get asked all the time how worried I am about the future. I get asked all the time about Skynet and the singularity and what are we doing right now? So much so that in my, uh, TED Talk, right in my TED Talk, I talk about one of my favorite phases in my TED Talk is that I say, um, we, we are, are likely the last generation that will teach AI how to listen. That we're the last generation that will actually educate AI before AI starts educating itself, which means that we've got some significant work to do. And I, you know, of course kind of feel like I'm knighting you all, uh, in, in creating ambassadors in every one of you. But I also think we underestimate the value of the education we have right now. Like every single one of you could teach a company how to do this better. Most companies, I don't know, you saw the statistic, right? 95% of companies between 2013 and 2023 are failing. 95% of AI projects are failing. If 95% of AI projects are failing, that means almost everyone is failing. Why? We know this, right? I think I shared it with you last week. Forbes released an article. I'll see if I can pull it up. Forbes released an article, that said, that showcased some of those reasons. None of them were technical. I shouldn't say that. A bunch of them weren't technical. The top 5 reasons were, were cultural, were leadership, like leadership-driven, change management. I think the most interesting one, I'm gonna just share it with you all now. I think the most interesting one that I saw was this, the, the most common reason that people stated was why their organization was failing to see success. Was because there was an organization-wide resistance to implementing the AI they were building. I would love to know from you all, like, why, why do you think people would be resistant to implementing the AI that their organization is building? Anyone care to jump in and provide a perspective on that? I think maybe because people don't wanna feel like they're training their replacements. 100%. I agree with you. Thank you for saying that. I 100% agree. I think why— I mean, the narrative in the marketplace is we're using AI to get rid of people. And so now 95% of projects are failing to get adopted by the very people they're trying to replace. I think it's a bit ironic. And it's not like— this is no joke. This means that like some organizations— oh, oh, oh, I opened the wrong one. Some organizations are gonna use this as, as we've talked about before, kind of a scapegoat. Like they're gonna, use this as an excuse to get rid of people that they probably shouldn't have hired in the first place. Overhiring, hiring bloat, like that's not new. But the reality is, is that AI is not stealing people's jobs. And if, if you use that as a, a message in your organization, the humans in your company will stop using it. Why would they use an AI system if your, your me— your whole, your whole point of using it is to get rid of it. So I think, I think there's some interesting kind of flushing out in the industry that we're gonna see over the next year and a half around like, how do you build a human-focused, a human-first organization that leverages AI to amplify success? Maybe the type of people you hire in the future is different. Remember, buy back your time. Maybe you hire people to solve different problems. Maybe the gig economy takes off in a whole new way. Because now I don't need you for a year or 10 or 25. I need you to solve this problem for me today. But there are millions of companies that need that problem solved, and you're the person to do it, right? I think the way work gets done, right, work in the future is going to be very, very different than what it is right now. And I don't know, I'm— I feel like we as a community, specifically those in the Leadership Institute, Right? We have a responsibility to get out there and talk about how you build human-first, AI-focused technology in an organization. Because without that knowledge, they just think you talk to a ChatGPT and it gives you a pretty good answer. Like, that's the extent of their awareness and literacy in AI. And so I think all of us can be, if you're interested in this role, all of us can play a part in creating better literacy for, for the world. Um, because every, not everyone wants to listen to AI from a happy, enthusiastic, go-lucky person like Noelle. Some people wanna hear from a pragmatist. Some people wanna hear from an, like a person who's going to kind of, uh, you know, kind of not a negative approach, but maybe, right? I mean, there are some negative people that have massive followings because they, what do they call it? Rage baiting, right? Like some of us might be like that. Maybe you're a pessimist. Like, here's the good news. Like, that's okay as long as it provokes people to learn how to safely and responsibly use technology. If that is your goal, to change the world for the better through maybe an optimistic or pessimistic— or what's the other word? Skeptic, like skepticism approach— do it. My outcome though is, my goodness, we need to educate the world on what this is. I'm a little bit worried about it. Hopefully this one will open. Oh yeah, good, there we go. So I'm gonna share my screen really quick so you can see this, this thing. This is the study. You can see, I'll actually post this link in the chat so you can go grab the report. This is actually the report that the data came from. Forbes took that report and wrote an article on it to increase the, the visibility, but that is the article that has this data in it. If you are one of those like me, data-driven people that want to know where this stuff came from. I don't know if somebody put it in there already, but There you have it. So if you're in the Zoom, you get to get access to— oh, that doesn't look right. Let me try that again. Can you guys even use that? I don't know if that worked. It looks like an image. There we go. Oh, oh, oh, I see what happened.

There we go.

That's interesting. Zoom has a, a weird feature that turned that into an image. So there, you should be able to click on it now. Um, so I think this is important because if 95% of projects are failing in companies, that means there's very few organizations succeeding with this tech. And that's number one, it's a shame. But I also think it's directly correlated to what I believe in the ARC philosophy, right? Awareness first, develop literacy in the organization, then identify pockets where you can implement technology, AI specifically, to solve real problems in real time. We call it readiness. And that, that is the key to the C, the competitive advantage. And so, but I think this is super interesting, right? Like this concept of, um, let me see if I can, well, anyway, hopefully you can see it. Okay. But like change management being the challenge, executive sponsorship, poor user experience. That's a whole nother topic for another day and an unwillingness to use the tool. So thank you for sharing that because I agree with you. I think, why would I use a tool if it's going to replace me? That doesn't feel good. The other thing though, I want to, um, just I'm— maybe we'll take this into our Q&A for the last 15 minutes. One of the things that I'm a little bit concerned about, or I guess thinking about more actively, is as these organizations start implementing AI systems without educating them on how to use it safely and responsibly, right? If it's 95% of projects fail, that means 5% are doing a good job. The 5% tend to be the most valuable companies in the world, right? They're considering as part of this Apple, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, like the, what do they call it? Magnificent Seven, right? That they, those, I mean, those are examples, right? OpenAI, Claude, these are examples of successful AI pilots, prototypes, beta tests. But I think I'm a little, you know, I'm, I'm a little worried about the naive, maybe I shouldn't use the word naive, but the unaware, the way that organizations are implementing AI that is strictly towards, I mean, I talk about this all the time. It's the way I get companies to implement, but strictly looking for outcome, right? Looking for benefit. And that if I go into an organization and say, hey, I can double your revenue this year, at what cost would we be willing to double our revenue, right? At the cost of creating a human-centered organization, at the cost of our culture in a company. I wonder if being— and I actually believe that I should be, I want to be outcome gen— like outcome forward in my approach to companies. I don't ever tell them you're gonna learn responsible AI just because it's an important thing to learn. Like I say, safe and responsible AI is how you build profitable and scalable businesses. Like, that is the ingredient that there is no other way to do it. All the 5%, they happen to be safe and responsible. They have guardrails, they have practices that govern how those systems become and maintain success. So for the 95% though, right now, what when it fails? Like what are some of the things that you are thinking about doing? We have some, um, experts in the house today, so you might be in a room with one of them. I think it'd be cool, uh, to talk through like, what if you're the 95%? What if what you're doing isn't working? How do you turn that ship around? I'm gonna give you my perspective, but I wanna hear yours as well. The best thing you can do is what I ended up doing in Portugal, which is unleashing people in your organization who are not on the technical team. Right? The business users, the people with the pain, teaching them to vibe code and actually hosting a session where they're allowed to just build, build solutions to their own problems. Now, this is not original to me. I learned it from Jeff Bezos. He would tell people one of the leadership principles at Amazon is actually to invent and simplify your own life. And then if it's, if you're good at it, when you invent and simplify in your own work experience, in your own job, you might uncover a use case that actually applies to your team and then maybe other teams and then maybe a whole department and then maybe a whole line of business and then maybe the whole company. At Amazon, they had awards that they would give out. I don't know if they still do 'cause I'm not there, but, um, called the Just Do It Award. And it would be a, a compliment to another leadership principle called Bias for Action. But Jeff Bezos would always say these, these leadership principles, they live in tension. They live in, in combination with each other, right? It's not good to have bias for action if you're just gonna do stuff, move fast and break things. He literally was like, that's not the game. The game is to have bias for action, but in alignment with inventing and simplifying on behalf of yourself and your customer. So I think it's really interesting to think like, if we are failing, how do we unlock our own organization to find success. And I personally believe it's in learning by doing, building a practice that activates the people doing the work to actually solve their own problems with this technology. And then once it's working, right, we call it rapid prototyping, building a minimum remarkable product. Once it's working, then we enlist, you know, the IT team or the data science team or the AI innovation team to help launch it into the business and get it scaled. But like, un, you know, unlocking the, the interest in solving our own problems, becoming our own solution architects in our own role at a company. If a company gave me, well, I will tell you, most leaders never said, Noelle, go become a solution architect in your own world. Jeff Bezos made it a leadership principle of the company, invent and simplify everything you do. And so that unlocked in me like, wow, I'm gonna build something. I built macros, pivot tables, like all sorts of stuff. Stuff to just make my job easier. And when people saw me present in meetings, they'd be like, what are you doing right there? I want to do that. Now we have vibe coding.

Now I can—

I'll give you an example. A friend of mine, Ksenia, I just met in Portugal. She's amazing, uh, leader. She used to be at ICA. She was there for like 27 years, has now gone on to do other things. But she was in a meeting and someone in the meeting said Man, I wish I had an emoji for that. That's literally all it took. And she was like, hold one second. And she went into Lovable and created—

I have the—

oh, I should give it to you. I hope it doesn't kill her. Um, but I will give it to the people on the Zoom. Um, she gave me the app that she built on Lovable. And so now I don't want to like kill her, uh, tokens and cause, you know, it's like, uh, the days of Groupon, right? When you have a good Groupon and you're like, yay! Oh no, I'm out of business because I can't afford it. Um, so I don't wanna do that for y'all, but, uh, but I will send you, um, to, I'll send it to you all in the, in the Zoom as soon as I pull it up on my phone. But she built an emoji maker that allowed you to use your words that you're in a meeting and you're, somebody says something crazy and you could just go in and build a, a baby tiger on a scooter emoji cuz that's the visualization you wanna throw in the chat. So, I mean, but the fact that someone could say something, you could get an idea and in the context of that meeting you can build an app. And give it to them. Like, that's the world we're in right now. So it's time to start. That's why I love this guy. Um, he, uh, was also, uh, in the latest Time artificial intelligence. Um, this is the same guy that's inside of the, uh, he's the, the Thinking Game guy documentary. Um, but that's, it's the same, same idea. Like, let's, let's just un— like unleash our minds to build things in a new and interesting way. And now all we need is our words to do it. So, um, I think it's really interesting. Okay, cool. Uh, oh, oh, Fireflies, see you, I see you. Okay, cool. Um, so now I, I'd like to take, uh, the last few minutes to get to know each other. We're gonna break out into breakout rooms. I would love to know what you're thinking about when it comes to— I mean, if everybody's failing at this, which 95% says everybody's got projects that are failing, Um, how do I go into an organization if I'm a consultant, if I'm an employee, what do you do? And it, there's no right answer. This is just an opportunity to talk about like, if you sat, if you've done this before, what you've done, or if you've not done this before, maybe vocalizing how you might handle this. But this is everyone's problem right now. Every organization I go into has said, if I say, hey, I'm here to talk about the AI, they're like, yeah, yeah, we've tried AI. And it's not a good vibe. Like, they're like, yeah, yeah, we, we know, we heard, we've tried it, it didn't work. So what do we do then? That is what I invite you to bring to the conversation. If you have something that you want to talk about, or if you have a question you want to bring to your group, please do that. This is just to help you get the conversation started as we go into our breakout. So hold that thought. Let me do this. If you are interested in meeting and greeting with other AI professionals, as well as people that are enthusiastic and interested in AI, I hope that you will come and hang out with us. You can go to noelle.ai to find a link to our free community and join us. But right now I'm going to throw us into some breakout rooms. And if you can't join the breakout, just don't join the breakout. Don't join it and then ghost your friends. So if you can't make it, no worries. Just be like, hey, it was awesome. I'll see you later. And the rest of us will, will party on. So I have one, To what? We're doing good with no takers. And also, I had a couple questions.

Oh, good.

Please let me know because I can't see your face. I'm— let me stop sharing my screen so I can see you all again. Thank you so much. I don't see any hands raised. Somebody— Gabriella. Gabriella, hello. I see you now, but you've unraised your hand. I'm so sorry I kept you waiting.

Sorry, I can wait. I was just going to ask if I have a few questions before the breakout room.

Oh sure, you can ask now.

Okay, sure. The first thing is I'm based on the UK, but I saw that there's this certified course and I just wanted to make sure if that time would be relating to Thursday, your time, 7 PM.

Yes, but it's 8 PM Eastern time on Thursday, but we're also doing a live session for those of you not— that's not that's not a good time. We're doing it also at 8 AM. So basically two 12-hour different sessions just to provide flexibility for those who are on the other side of the planet. So 8 AM and 8 PM Eastern Standard Time.

On this—

okay, sorry. Yeah, so the class and you are— you got the invitation, right, Gabriella?

And what I've done is I went to the school app on the mobile. I've hit on the calendar on Friday, and then afterwards it just gives me, you know, the Zoom.

So this is actually in the— this is a Maven class, so you would have gotten— and I know, I think you got it. Yeah, you should have gotten it. You would have gotten an email, so check your inbox for an invite from Maven, and it's inside Maven, so that's where it will be hosted. Well, it's always, it's 8:00 AM, uh, the next day for everyone who, so on Thursday it's 8:00 PM and Friday 8:00 AM. Friday session is Friday night at 8:00 and Saturday morning at 8:00. And then Monday session is Monday night, Tuesday morning, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, Wednesday. Okay. I probably didn't have to say all that. No, but it's good.

It's good. I'm, I'm, I'm doing it.

Yeah. So it's in Maven. So those of you who wanna join, if you're in the I Love AI community and you are not a member of the Institute, You don't have to become a member of the Institute if you are not in a place to do that. There is a current— I just posted, there's a current discount for I Love AI community members only. But this is like a, it's like a legit like class. So it's on Maven. It has a price. I don't control that. Maven has gotten very serious about me not giving free stuff away, which I like to do. So we do these calls and we will be doing a recap on Friday. Of what we're learning. But if you wanna get a certification, it does require you to invest in yourself. Um, and that I, I hope you can do. But if not, if you are a student, and I mean like not a life student, like Noelle is always a student of life. I mean, if you are in school, um, meaning like full-time student, uh, please reach out to us cuz we have a special opportunity for you to take this class without having to, be a customer. And also, if you are in a— if you have questions, if you want to know, like, just, just reach out to us and we'll work with you to get you access to the course. If you really want to be part of it, there's lots of opportunities. We have fellowships, internships. We also have a scholarship program. So there's lots of opportunities. But yeah, you got to reach out to us to find out what's, what's available to you. But if you are in the AI Leadership Institute class, this is part of your membership. You get 3 certifications from me, 3 certifications from the industry, 12 masterclasses, all between now and the end of next year. So you're gonna get a lot of these. But if you're not in the institute yet, yeah, this, and it's also a great opportunity for me to share. Yes, by the way, we have a class starting on Thursday. If you have not registered, it's not too late. Uh, you can just go to noelle.ai, join the community, and it's a pinned post, your opportunity to get a discount. You can go to maven.com and look me up, Noelle Russell. We have a class starting— we all— we have a class starting on Thursday, Certified AI Responsible AI Leader, and it's based on my book. So it's literally Scaling Responsible AI, but in 5-day class form. It is hands-on and requires you to do the work. So this isn't like you're gonna listen to a YouTube video and take a multiple choice test. This is like hands-on. It's hard, but I want to be transparent. Like, we like hard in this community. Like, we want to do hard things. We want to, you know, be educated so we can go and help these companies build safe, responsible AI. So I hope you all will join us. That is definitely available to you. And like I said, if you're in the Institute, don't worry. It's part of your membership. But definitely keep an eye out for that. Was there any other questions, Gabriella, or was that all of them?

Yes, please. There was a mention of a Black Friday Vibathon, right? So I asked my dad and he says it's virtually all out calendar. And I thought there must be a day where America has their Black Friday and UK has their Black Friday. So what Black Friday are we talking about?

Yeah, good point. So this is the day after Thanksgiving in the US, which is the 20-something. I'm like looking for my calendar.

Hold on. Oh, there it is.

Thank you. The 28th. So, uh, yes, in the US you could go and spend money on stuff if you want to, or you can come. We are actually going to be holding, uh, we did this last year and the year before, so this is our third annual. It— we are going to be taking donations, um, and, uh, I'll tell you more about it, uh, next week, but we're taking donations to actually donate devices, uh, to help educate and create awareness in org— like we're gonna basically buy Alexa devices. So, um, to help with readiness and learning opportunities for underrepresented groups, whether that's older people, whether that's young kids, right? Just imagine being able to equip an educator with an Alexa device to have in their room and then also giving them a, like a little playbook on things they can do with their students. And I'm not talking about like, I live in a pretty well affluent area. I'm talking about like Homestead, Florida, like these areas that just, they don't ever even get the tech. They never get an opportunity to weave in technology into everyday conversation and expose their students. Same thing with people in, you know, uh, assisted living and nursing homes. They just don't get exposure to this tech unless we bring it to them. So we will be raising, uh, it's not really raising money, it's Black Friday. So you're gonna buy a discounted device, um, and you're gonna, uh, you'll buy a device and ship it to a, uh, a location that I will be sharing with you during the hackathon. But that's, That's— and if you can't afford a discounted device on Black Friday, then just come. You know, we love the vibe. Please join us. But that is— that's going to be the only ask is that you help us help educators with device donations. And, you know, we made— we did— I think we donated 35 devices last year. And, you know, I love bringing tears to the eyes of people who have no idea that we do nice things for them. So it's a bit of a surprise. So I'm excited for that. Uh, all right. Awesome. Um, so that's Friday and you'll see more about that. We'll post it. Um, I'm trying to like not confuse people, so we're, it, we'll post it as soon as the Responsible AI Leader class starts so that everyone's good and we got that going. And then, and then I'm telling you it's gonna go quick. On the 28th is the day that we, uh, do the Viveathon. Uh, and then, and it's actual Viveathon, so we're gonna build stuff and give out awards for people who actually build the coolest thing. Uh, and then in December, December— I think it's December 10th, I think. Yeah, December 10th we are doing the AI Solution Architect again, one last time before the end of the year. So the 10th through the 16th, I think it is. Oh, I'm sorry, the 11th. The 11th is Thursday. We always do them Thursday through Wednesday, so it's the 11th through the 17th. No, I thought we have it on the 4th. Okay, maybe it's the 4th. I'm— see, this is why I ask you guys. Um, all right, the 4th. Sorry, the 4th, which is like the next week, right? So it's the 28th, and then on the 4th, the following Thursday, we'll be doing AI Solutions Architecture. So it's gonna be fun. And the reason I do this is because once the 17th happens, which is my son's birthday, as soon as that happens, I am off the grid. So, so we're cramming it in, cramming it in. Um, it'll be fun. So, uh, Vibathon, well, this Thursday we kick off Responsible AI Leader. Vibathon on the 28th. And then thank you, Padmini, on the 4th, we'll kick off AI Solutions Architect. If you've already taken it, you don't have to take it again, but you might want to because everything's changing. And so we'll be talking about how to solution things in a slightly different way now that, uh, Vibe Coding and new platforms have become available. So the technology piece will be different than, and I always say, I don't know, personally, I take classes over and over and over again because I get different things every single time. Not all classes, it has to be good.

Yes.

Do you know when you're going to do Design Our Life? I don't. That's a good question. Sometime in December, probably right after that. Maybe the— maybe that's why I was thinking of— it's only a 1-hour session, so it'll probably be on the 14th, um, right, right. I think that's what we said, but it's on the Friday. It'll be during this session. It'll be our, our session during our Friday call. So like 11-ish. It's a good question. Sherilyn, are you there?

Write it down.

Um, yes, so we'll say the 14th. How about that? I'm just kidding, I was looking at the wrong month.

Is that—

is the 14th— that's not— that's November, right? No, that's just— oh yeah, yeah, hold on.

I can't.

Oh, there we go. It will be the 12th. Sorry, the 12th, because the 12th is a Friday. Thank you for asking. All right, awesome. And Gabriella, was that it? One more?

Uh, I, I, I'll thank you very much. I'll just wait to get to speak to Sherilyn because she's super duper with admin.

Oh, amazing! Okay, yeah, she is amazing. She is amazing. Yes, the 12th, Sherilyn. Thank you, because I was looking at the wrong month and said the 14th, which is November 14th, but no, no, the 12th.

Perfect.

Thank you, thank you. Um, okay, all right. Yeah, cool. So we should talk more about this, Sherry. I see your comment. I don't know if I understand it totally. Tell me, you want to unmute really quick and tell what, what you're talking about here?

I was able to get $2,500 out of Amazon. Unfortunately, there was a window in October where it was $20, but there was—

yeah, that was the—

so the deal is they still have a cap, whether it's Best Buy or anybody, and we need 100 units of the cheapest thing, which we cannot spend more than $25 to get the 100 that we have promised. We have 100 older people signed up waiting desperately to get this device. I've trained them. They're anxious, but I can't get the— I spent my own money to get 30 units during our beta test off of Facebook Marketplace. So if we will reimburse people, we're still trying to find a bulk price. But anyhow, that's my story.

Yeah. And I think, like I said, Black Friday, there'll be some massive deals. Yeah, but they'll cap it.

They will cap it at 2 units.

Well, that's why we're bringing a bunch of people to the Vibathon. Yeah, well, I would love—

I, I need 50 people to buy 2 units and we will reimburse them because we've got the money. They might have to wait a week to beat up the accountant to get the checks out or however they're gonna—

but that's great. I mean, like, what better way, right? We're gonna give you— we're gonna give people the benefit of a Vibathon And then all you have to do is be willing to buy 2 devices that you're going to get reimbursed for, and then people can choose whether you even want reimbursement. Like, then you can buy more.

That would be fabulous, right?

Yeah, let's do it. So that, that's great. Um, thank you. Like, they enable you and then they don't, you know? Like, here's $2,500, but all the pre— like, I don't like—

you would have thought they would have said, oh, and here, contact Joe Blow in our blah blah department for bulk. No, that would have been too logical.

Yes. Oh well. All right. So in the last, uh, I mean, we're already going over, sorry, but let's get to know each other, please. Um, all right, I'm going to move. I have, uh, I need to create a new room, add a room and put our note takers in it. Uh, move to do, do, do.

All right.

We only have a few note takers. It's so nice. This is my favorite part where we get to meet each other and hang out a little bit. Um, I think, oh, you know what, actually I'm going to do this.

Oops.

There we go.

There we go.

All right.

Do do do do do do. This looks better. Oh yeah, I have to, sorry, I gotta re-add a room and move the note takers again. Room 4, almost there. Um, but yeah, I think it would be interesting to hear your take on like how you're managing failure. Like how do you get someone to try again? How do you get someone to realize they didn't do it right? I have my own techniques that are working, but would love to hear more from you. So, all right, I'm opening the rooms now. We're gonna take 10 minutes, get to know each other, and then I'll close the rooms. We'll come back and say goodbye. So have fun. All right, everybody, so nice to have you here. Thank you for being here. And this is the time where we close out our event. We are our weekly call. We have everybody in breakout rooms. They get to get to know each other., and learn a little bit about each other, but also talk about a pressing problem, get some practice articulating how to solve solutions with artificial intelligence, talking about responsible AI, talking about how to manage failure, how to manage success.
