This is the greatest wealth transfer in history, in my opinion. Why is because it's completely new space. If you look at this space, there's almost no one in the podcast space that's doing and talking AI. And when I was first looking at AI, it was the thing that I knew that I was going to be in a blue ocean of a blue ocean. When you think about even the 2008 crash, there were people who survived then 2020, 2021, right when covet really came about, there was people who already knew how to take advantage because they had seen it. But when you think about AI, right? Businesses, people's lives, like, these are the times that I think that if you jump in front of it right now, there is no way you can't present yourself as a leader within just six months. And I still believe that this is the best time because we're so, so, so early and AI is still a novelty space.
Guys, I'm super stoked. I had to do it virtually just because of timing and restraints, but I want to introduce you guys to probably one of the most amazing humans I. I know. I was very fortunate to meet him at a private event not that long ago in Atlanta area and got to hear his heart. Not just around how he did really, really well in YouTube, not how he just business successful entrepreneur. Not all the really cool AI stuff he's working on now, but one of the most important things that just. I just admired, I just heard him talking passionately about how his family is incredibly important to him. And one of the things we ran into a lot of times is we are trying to be successful in our careers. And then we find this area where we're trying to be successful in our lives and meanwhile, we're trying to be successful in our family life. And as somebody who used to struggle with presence with their family and chasing the gold ring, you know, and not being able to be present in all things at all times. I want to introduce you guys to Casanova Brooks. He's again, one of a kind. Can't wait to jump in this conversation. Casanova is going, going on, dude.
What's up, my brother? Hey, man. It's an honor and a pleasure to be here with you today. And for anybody listening watching, I hope you get something valuable out of this. So, yeah, man, I'm ready to rock, dude.
Well, let's jump straight in because there we have a lot of ground to cover. You know, it's. It's funny when we met each other at Melon and Money's event not even a few months ago, it was like a brotherhood almost instantaneously. I love how you think, I love how you're wired. I love the, the cool concepts that you're actively working on and your, and your knowledge of the AI, which I definitely want to jump into later on because that's actually where the world's heading. But one of the things that really stuck out to me that I was just in awe about is how you approach living well with your family and showing up for your, your wife and your kids and things of that nature. I'd love to know, kind of like how you, before you even get to the framework of how you do it, was there a time and a place where it wasn't working that kind of showed a spotlight on it to work?
Yeah, yeah. So I would tell you it all comes back to the way that I was raised. And I'm not going to go too deep into it, but feel free to ask any questions that you have for me to close up the gaps. But grew up single. Single mom. Dad was never in my life. I'm the only child on my mom's side. Last I Knew, I had 13 brothers and sisters on my dad's side, but he never did anything to like bridge the gap of the relationship between any of us. So I really just grew up as an only child. So anyway, I didn't know what marriage looked like. I didn't know what a family truly looked like. Right. Because nobody, I mean, south side of Chicago, inner city, you weren't seeing marriage. Right. You're seeing a lot of people that. Drugs, gangs, violence. Right. It's just, it's not conducive for a 8, 9, 10 year old child, whether you're a boy or a girl. And so for me, my grandma made the decision to get me up out of there when I was 11 years old and she moved me to Sioux City, Iowa. So huge culture change. Obviously, I go from Chicago only seeing people who look like me to now I'm in a town of 80,000 people, cornfield, cattle, seeing only, you know, people who don't look like me for the most part. Right. And so huge change, huge adoption. But I would say for me, as I started to get older, I didn't focus on what I didn't have. I focused on what I wanted. Right. So I was very fortunate to meet my wife when I was 14 years old.
Wow.
Yeah. So we became high school sweethearts. I knew her, we went to middle school together. We weren't in classes or anything like that. We didn't even really talk. But then when we got to high school, we were both on the dance squad. So when I was in high school, yeah, basketball, football, track, dance squad, like, I was doing it all. I really was. And. And I'll tell you, there was a huge turning point for me. And. And this turning point was When I was 15 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma, cancer. I had emergency port put in my chest, connected to my jugular vein. And for the next two years, I went through bone marrows, chemo, dyes, just about anything that anybody else does when it comes to the C word, Right? Well, as a young kid, that was a huge thing because I go from being a victor or being a champion and all these different things, right? I'm popular, just as a normal high school kid would want to be. So all of a sudden, one day, I just find myself walk through the hallway and. And I'm just like, man, I can't breathe. This is what I'm telling my buddies, and they're like, man, you know what? You left football early. Basketball is just starting up. You know, you're probably just out of shape. I'm like, yeah, okay, you're probably right. So I'm going home and I'm just taking naps. And my mom, as a mother's intuition, she's like, what? What's up with you? And I'm like, I'm just really tired, right? So anyway, I share all of that because they wind up willing me back to the room for the night, right? They're going to run all of these other tests on me, and. And when I get back to my room, and I remember it was. I came out of an elevator and they're willing me, you know, down the hallway to my room, and as I look up, I see my now wife, right? But she was at the end of the hallway and she was visiting one of our friends who we went to school with that had lupus, right? So she was always in and out of the hospital and because of the relationship. So it's just by coincidence, she was the first person to even see that, you know, there potentially was something wrong with me. And so throughout it all, like I said, that was when I was a sophomore in high school and. And we stayed together. We were high school sweethearts, everything. Then college comes, we split, we get back together, we split, we get back together. I'm trying to be as much of a jackass as, right? But I'm just saying, like, one, I never, like, put my hands on her or ever called her out her name, nothing like that. But at the same time, I'm young and I'm trying to figure, like, I would. I would. When I needed some time or I wanted to go do something else, I'd be like, hey, I think we need to break up. So then I could, you know, see what was out there. Right? Now I'm young and I'm done, and we've been married. Now, let me tell for anybody who's listening at this. Ready? Turn it off. We've been married for almost. No, 11 years. We've been married for 11 years now. We've been together for 23 years, right? So we have two miracle babies. So it's all turned out, you know, envy. We're still going through, you know, marital challenges, things like that. Nothing too crazy, but I'm just saying, you know, it never gets easier, right? You just get stronger and you just understand that, hey, this is my. My sole partner. So I would tell you to answer a little bit more your question. Was it always this way? I. I want to try to tell you that there was some like, no, I was a drunk, I was beating my kids. And like, that never happened. I was always just a young kid who. I understood that if I didn't come from a loving father and a loving husband, guess what? A loving father and a loving husband had to come from me. So that means that I had to step up. I had to be the man who I wanted to my son to be. And he's my firstborn. I do have a daughter now, but my son is 14. I definitely though the way to get me any type of emotional, because I'm not an emotional person, but it's probably. It's talking about my son and. And I have a very close relationship with my daughter as well. But my son and I, it's just. It's the bond that. That I'm forever, forever grateful to God for. Because like I said, both of my children are miracle babies. It took us two years to have both of them. My wife and I had. My wife and I a less than 1% chance of reproducing straight from the doctors after running all of these tests. And for anybody who's wondering, she's okay with me sharing this now. When we were young, it was kind of like, no, but for me, it was because, you know, before anybody, any male that has cancer, before they start to give you any drugs, you know, they tell you there's a potential, that this can make you sterile. So you, you know, put Semen in a vial and things like that. And then for my wife, just the way that her body was set up, it wasn't the easiest for her to, to reproduce. So when you combine both of those. And for me, I, we tried for two years and my, my counts just weren't high enough. And so anyway, then we had to go back and we had to look at ivf or we had to look at, you know, artificial. I was gonna say AI, but then people's minds now, like when you're using robots to try to like. No, no, no. So artificial insemination and, and that was a whole crazy process in itself. We didn't have any money to do ivf. And I had too much pride at such a young age because I had just come out of beaten cancer. So now to turn around and tell the toe the world, which at the time, this wasn't even about like a thing, but to be like, hey, can we use a GoFundMe, right, for other people to try to help us, you know, have our first child. I was like, no, we're not doing that. But like I said, by the grace of God, man. We wound up having both of our kids naturally. No Nick, you know, they all came, they both came out with 10 fingers, 10 toes. Both of them are absolutely amazing. Very smart. We have no issues, behavior, anything. So. Well, I say that a little bit. Let me be careful. I don't want my daughter, she's definitely seven, about to turn eight, going on 18, as anybody with a daughter would know. Like my son CJ, he's always cool, calm, collected. He's getting into that 14 year old stage. Got to ask him a little bit more like, did we think about this verse, right? It's, it's not the same way. She's just so headstrong. But I'm learning to have even more patience. I'm learning, you know, but the best thing, when I lay my head down at night, when it comes to both of them and them seeing the type of father and leader and communicator that I am, is something I'm very, very proud of. Because, yeah, they'll always be able to look up, you know, and say like, wow, like this. And it's something that I know every father out there, if you're present, right, rather than just giving presents and you're present and you're cognitive of, okay, the way that I'm talking to my wife, do I ever want my son to think that that's okay to talk to his wife like that? Or vice versa. Do I ever want my daughter to think that it's okay for any man to talk to her like that or, you know, let alone put their hands on her? So all of these things always are going through my mind, and I'm just. I'm so thankful and blessed that God gave me the ability to communicate and to just show up, be into personal development, which I know you didn't grow up with that, but I definitely grew up with that, just seeking it out, trying to show my kids what it's like to always be a student of life. Those are the things that I'm proud of. But, yeah, so I'll let you take it from here. So a little bit of context on kind of how I got to this point.
No, dude, I love it, and I love the background because I. You know, one thing is really cool is you have a. You have a zest for life. I knew that from the first moment I met you. And it sounds like not just the zest for life, because obviously, having to face mortality at such a young age, but more importantly, trying to understand the importance of a father and being a father. One of the things, as a father myself that I've ran into is understanding that if I don't speak life into my children, someone else will, and I may not like what they have to say.
Right, right.
I mean, you know, this whole identity, this sense of identity, you have such a grounded approach. Obviously, you have a deep faith. We connected on that as well. Where did you. So without a role model to teach you what a good father is or how to be a quality father, where did you learn, you know, the elements that, you know? Basically you can now look at your children and teach your children in a fatherly way. You know, where did you. Where did you find. Where did you get that. That feedback that. That, you know, because at least for me, I had been. I had early stage mentors that kind of, like, fathered me in some ways that taught me about kind of what. What matters, what's important. And then I also had my grounding in God. So I'm curious, how did you decipher what was a good father versus what wasn't?
Yeah, so I think it was one just always appreciating that everything happens for you and nothing happens to you. Right. And I really mean this. So here's why. Because anything that anybody's hearing or seeing me say, trust me when I tell you, I get chills on it. Because when I think about my dad, he wrote a book. He was. And what's what's even crazy about this is I don't know if he was truly, if he's truly even my dad. So me just being transparent, I actually signed up, what, three weeks ago for ancestry.com.
I did that. So yeah, I gotcha.
Did you? Yeah. So this is just me being transparent with the audience, right? Of just trying to figure out what is my heritage, my lineage actually look like, right? I asked my grandma, she said for sure he was my dad. But my mom, she actually. One of the other storms that I went through was 11 years ago. I lost my mom. And it came in a combination of three. I lost my mom, my job and my home all within a matter of two and a half weeks. So it absolutely was, it was a crazy scenario. But my mom's not here for me to ask her. Now that I've matured and I want to close up this wound, right? I can't ask her. So this is where ancestry.com but I share that because as I started to get older, I think the, the one thing that I was always grateful for was that God was always blessing me, right? What I'll tell you, and I've just now, in the last year became more in tuned with my faith and more, more importantly, more specifically the word, right? Because when I was growing up, if you were to ask me three years ago, I would always tell you because I didn't have a dad. I didn't have anybody who rooted faith, spirituality, the word into me. My grandma tried to, at a very young age, as you can hear the common theme, my grandma, she stepped in to try to be that father figure in my life. But growing up without an older brother or anybody else, I just didn't know. So everything that I was seeing, there was one on one side I didn't have, right? My grandma, they were always robbing Peter to pay Paul. I was never, I never lacked the love, but I never got, especially not in abundance, the wisdom, right? My parents could only give me what they knew, right? And they weren't reading books, they weren't telling me to read, think and grow rich, rich dad, poor dad, how to win friends and influence people, right? It was just everything that I had was, was innate. It was just my God given ability. So as I got older and I started to, to be exposed to more books, more podcasts, and just being lucky as I would hear other stories just like yours, it would inspire me. It would inspire me to understand that it's not about where I came from, but it's about the vision of really I Want to go. My mind has now been exposed at another level, so it can never contract right to the same state that it was. And I would always. Just even early on, you know, through my podcast, through everything, I would get very inspired by the opportunity that I would have to meet a Steven, to meet a Pat Flynn, to meet a Dean Graziosi, and to see them take any type of a liking to me without needing anything from me. Yeah, that right there. As time went on and this was happening all throughout my life, that it was. It would always be. I could be like, man, why did my dad never want me? Or why did not? But. But I always chose to look. And this. I would say this happened early on of you just, here's what I want the audience to take away from this. Just always think about your childhood and what gave you the most excitement, and you got to lean into that. So here is what it was for me. I always. I remember this just like when I was seventh grade, eighth grade, I never thought about. Oh, man, I hated being in school. You know, sometimes you're like, man, this is so. I didn't look at it from that perspective. Even though I was a normal kid, Like, I did want to get out. Like, I didn't want to be confined. I always looked at, okay, what, at lunchtime, we're gonna have the spicy chicken sandwich, or when I get out of school, I get to go to this party, or next week, these new shoes come out. So I was always looking ahead, right? So this then, you know, transformed my mindset as I got older, I believe, because for me, I was always looking at the good things. I was always trying to find something to inspire me. And so with growing up without a dad, I think the more books that I read and the more that I got close with cj, right? As in our relationship, you know, when you first have a son, what do you want your son to do? Ideally, not for everyone, right? But for a lot of dads, you want your son to be in the sports, right? You want to be him to be at baseball, football, basketball, Whether he plays it or he just absolutely loves it, right? The Gary or the Lamar Jackson, it doesn't matter.
Top tier. And the fact that CJ came out loving basketball, and even now, he still loves basketball. And I was like, man, like, that was something that I knew that we were going to be able to build even a deeper bond through sports, things like that. Because I also had friends where they're huge into sports, they're an alumni at a school, and their kid Wants nothing. Their kid just only wants nothing to do with it. And so, I mean, how do I build that relationship? How do I build that bond? Right? So for me, I think all of the time, what I always tried to look at was what was my. What was my gift that I got given and how could I be grateful for that? And so with marriage, how that came about and how I started to become a great husband is because I looked at it and I said, listen, I know what I could be doing, knucklehead things, but I got an opportunity early on to have someone that I didn't have to look over my shoulder to wonder if I can.
Yeah, someone else in my home. Right. Or if I looked at her phone, would that. And on top of that, I think I was always able to recognize that I had a cheerleader because early on, I have always had the craziest entrepreneurial spirit. What that means is I've always taking risk. Now they do have to be calculated. And I would even be honest to tell you that my calculations are getting sharper. Right? But early on, no matter what I wanted to do when we were flipping houses, when we were. When I first got into real estate, right? And with. After losing my mom, job, home, within that next nine months, I did 46 deals worth $8 million in volume. I got the rookie of the year in the state of Nebraska. And that's where my journey started to take off from. I was a real estate agent, but I also understood, you know, how to build relationships, things like that. So when I tell you about how I got started, it was how I learned that I had a gift with building relationships and communicating was off of how to win friends and influence people. Right. Dale Carnegie. In the beginning, I just had a gift for gab, but I didn't know how to use that to then propel my life to the next level. I didn't know what that communication piece was. Right. So those are all of the things that I look back on. And when I look at the marriage that I built so far, I think it's always predicated on the fact that I know I got a best friend first and foremost. And there's going to be struggles, but when you look at it, that's the beauty of life. It's evolution, right? Nothing is up into the right forever. But I think she allowed me to just feel like I could be me. So she doesn't come from entrepreneurship. Well, now, you know, we've opened up daycares and, and, but in the beginning, she never comes like her mom worked the same job for 35 years before she got laid off. And during COVID her dad worked the same job, still at the same job 40 years. So her parents small town like they. So when she got with me and I'm like, no, like I' ma sell shoes, I'm a flip phones like. I played professional poker for a living for two years. When they shut it down online poker. I then moved to Montreal, Canada for three weeks while C.J. was in her stomach. Like we tell this story, she gave me that freedom. Now I got very homesick after this, but I. It was crazy thing, man. So I'm just blessed to have my best friend is there trying days. Absolutely. But that just means that again I can't ask for life to be easier. I gotta ask God to make me stronger. And I feel like he does that in very many various, in many of ways. So that's kind of a long story to it. But hopefully someone else gets something out of that because there's, there's so many nuggets in there that I think someone can take from that.
Yeah, on a thousand percent agree. You know the one, the one reoccurring through line, through everything you've shared so far, I think is the word intentionality. Somehow at an earlier stage, at the earliest possible stage of life, you began being very intentional in general. Like, you know, intentional with an idea, attentional with your marital relationship, intentional with your kids, additional with the relationships out, you know, the, the public facing relationships. And I feel like one of the things that we get stuck on a lot of times as you know, achievers, entrepreneurs, people in this space a lot of times is we. And this is something that I just am hugely admire you for because it seems like you've known your authentic self for a long, long time, where for me I had to go and discover it over lots of pressure, lots of crushings and all the things. And I feel like a lot of us, we resist our authentic self mainly because of lack. You know, we might have a sense of lack of safety, but there, there tends to be a lack of intentionality. It's like we're.
We'Re kind of like throwing stuff at the wall to a certain, to a certain extent to kind of figure out kind of where we're heading, which I think is great for experimentation. Right. But can you, can you have intensity behind the experiment? Can you have the intentionality behind the experiment? And when I look at these, these segments.
You'Re just like a one of a kind rock star when it comes to this. Stuff you just, you innately understand where things are going or where things are headed. And, you know, it was funny when we were sitting there having dinner with our good mutual friend Sean Anthony and a few others and, and Darnell, we were, we were, we were talking. But, dude, when you should be talking about your family, you just lit up like, I mean, you already have a bright smile and a bright essence in the whole deal, but you just got brighter and brighter. It's almost like somebody took a dimmer switch and just cranked it up to 10. And, you know, it was, it was, it was very much an admirable moment for me as someone who learned the. Had to teach. I'd say teach myself again. I had people teach me how to become a man. And there's a lot of children out there that don't have that, and as a result, they don't have that relationship. And what's really powerful about part of your journey is the fact that that really didn't stop you. Like, you. You were able to kind of like, see. See the trees to the forest, as they say, or whatever. I don't know, dude. It's just a powerful thing. I chase my. End up chasing my worth because, you know, my parents missed a good chunk of my life early on. Right now they're fortunate. They've done their own transformations and doing great. But I don't know, dude, I just. I really wanted you to share that story because it inspired me just that just sitting there, having dinner across from you and, and kind of just watch you be you and seeing someone so comfortable within themselves, knowing how uber successful you have been, right? You're. You have the. What I like to refer to as the one part line, one part lamb essence, right? So this, this mature piece and this both in the line energy and the lamb energy, you're able to exude the emotional fortitude, the capacity, the compassion and stuff. But you're also bold, you're energetic, you're forward thinking. Like, you're really. I don't know, dude, I. I just want to thank you for sharing that story, those stories, because, you know, your. Your life could have taken a thousand different turns. And for me, with people who are faced with those same decisions, who are like, well, I think I'm just going to compromise here, I'm a compromise there. And to show that if you just choose intentionality and choose the best path forward with as much experience as you have, then you can truly create something really remarkable. So I want to. I just want to thank you for that more than anything else, first of.
All, yeah, absolutely, man. And I mean, it's a. It's an honor. Like I said, I'm continuing. I'm continuously blessed in various ways. And I think that at the end of the day, God gives all. God has given us all a gift. And I think when you talk about that, I know who I am early. Early on. What's honest about if I'm honest? I did not. Right. And. And I still think that it's the discovery process. So I'm right there with you. I chased a lot of things. I've just been very fortunate enough to know where my center line is. Right. So, for example, I've always found my way back home, is what I mean. Now, let me say this in a more concrete way. What I mean is I've chased things, just not to the point that I would lose my family, my house, the mortgage, things like that. Right Now, I've had a lot of losses, but within that, when I say I've chased things, it's like I've always wanted to be someone that the world could look at and say, because of him, I didn't quit. Right? Now, I've been fortunate that I've been able to have that on a level because again, building a podcast, 2 million downloads. That's where Sean and I originally, you know, connected and having so many, you know, dope. And I mean, this dope people on the podcast, like, I can't wait for, you know, to. To obviously flip the script and have you shared. I think that for me, I've been lost just as much as I feel like I've been found. Interesting. And so I say that because when I built the pot. Let's use the podcast, for example, I look at people like Stephen Bartlett, right?
Yeah. Yeah. I love that show.
I've never met him yet. I definitely know because we have a lot of mutual friends, so I'm sure at some point I will. But I look at that, and I look at people who had podcasts like that, and my show at one point was a little bit bigger than his. I remember seeing, and my show was bigger. Now, with that being said, I burned out on my show early on. Right. 370 episodes. Why? Because I didn't know who I was, and I didn't have even the guidance at that time for somebody to say, no, stick it out on this path. Trust me when I tell you all you need is a couple other mentors or advisors around you, and this is the path that you're on. Don't like But I didn't know that, Right. And so for me, I'm doing two, three, sometimes even four interviews a day, right? Just. Just doing this, and it's great. But I didn't know who I was, so I never thought with the end in mind. You see this young kid looks like he's blowing up. You know, I got Graziosi inviting me, you know, their first kbb. Right. Things like that. But I, at that point gained more imposter syndrome than I did authentic Casanova. So in a lot of ways, I lost out on what should have been. Right. I should probably be 3, 4, 5 levels higher. But I also understand that everything happens for you, none to you. So at that time, who knows, maybe God felt like I was not ready, right? The immaturity wise would say, no, no, I would have. I would have found my way to be ready. But who, who knows, right? So right now where I am ten toes down, right? I still, like, I'm still finding myself. But where does it all come back to? Even throughout all of that, what I stayed and remained true to was the people who stayed and remained true to me. Like, I never. That's the best thing that I feel like when I talk about my podcast and everything else, like, if you go back and look at it, I'm not as consistent as I was. But if you look at those relationships, whether it's Sean, Anthony, whether it's Darnielle, whether it's any of those other people I named Pat, that David at that time, and still, in all, I've built solid relationships with them.
Yeah.
And I've never asked anybody for anything. So that's where. When you said, like, I love the words that you use, you use two words, one specifically, which was intentionality. So when I set my mind to something, I am very intentional about it. But the second one was relationships, Right. And I always prided myself on just being a relationship builder because I know that if I put it out in the world enough good, eventually I'm going to be blessed tenfold. And it never failed me yet. So I just want to be clear because I've heard this a lot when people are like, oh, man, like, you're so successful, you've got it figured out. Trust me. I've taken a lot of losses at a lot of high levels. And it's not like it's losses that you just don't know what you don't know more.
So.
And those are the things that you have to understand that wins and losses, they come with being bosses, Right. And Life, you're going to take L's, and that's the thing that I tell my son all the time right now. Like, you don't have to love the journey, right? Because people say, oh, you got a lot of hustle, you got a lot of game. I get it. And trust me, in many ways, I do love the hustle in the game, right? Spent a lot of time in this AI world. But at the same time, you just have to stay married to the destination. You might think that you're going down to Atlanta and you're on this road trip where you're going to take the route of, you know, i35, right through Tennessee. But then you're going to find that there's a roadblock, right? You can't go that way. So now you might have to take a detour. But at the end of the day, as long as you endpoint right where you're trying to get to, which is the most important thing, you take that time and you say, where do I want to end up in life, right? Do I want to have a retirement? Do I want to have a relationship with my wife? Do I want to be 65 on a golf course? Where do I want. When you think about all of that, if your answer to any of those are yes, right, not a maybe, or I don't know, if you don't know, let's set that to the side. Ask yourself something else, right? Do I want my own house? Well, yes. Okay. Do I own my own house right now? No. Well, what do I need to do so I can have a house? Do I want that house to be free and clear? Yeah, ideally. Okay, so most houses, they have a fixed mortgage of 30 years. Right now I'm 29, right? Whatever it is that you are right now I'm 29. That means that if I can get my, if I, if I want to be 65 on a golf course and retired, right? If I'm just going to get one house, 30 year fixed mortgage, that means that right now I got to buy that house within the next five or six years, okay, I got a little bit of time now. Within that, okay, 30 years, ideally, I would like to retire at 50. Okay, what does that mean? It means I probably need to make one extra payment, right? So where's my income now? So you see what I'm saying? I'm just saying, yeah, reverse engineer, it doesn't matter. I used house. Just one thing. It could be, okay, do I want to have a marriage? I want to have a marriage of 20 years. And my kids look at me and say, this has been great. Okay, what does that mean? Same concept in it. For me, that's what I'm always thinking about is where do I want to get to and understand that's my destination. There could be roadblocks, but it's the difference in my opinion of motivation and inspiration, right? Can be motivated, but just as the great Zig Ziglar said, right? Like motivation is just like showering. You got to do it every day, right? But if you find something that inspires you, it gets inside of you. When it gets inside of you, that's the thing that's going to light you up and that's the thing that the world can see. So you got to find something that can get inside of you. You got to be inspired by something. You got to be inspired by a 25 year marriage. You got to be inspired by building a 10 million dollar company. You got to be inspired by leading a group of a thousand people, right? And those things light you up. Now we just got to ask a couple more penetrating questions so you can always come back to that center alignment and that' done with my marriage. That's what I've done for my kids. Nothing's easy. If anybody tells you, oh, having two kids, five kids, seven kids, one kid, it's easy. You're like.
I don't got to deal with this.
I got one life to live. Tell me, you know, so, yeah, that's kind of again, long answers. But I try to really just make sure I don't live anything out for the people. Because if you're watching or listening at this, I just want you to, to know that again, as long as you got a dream, like it's all possible.
Dude, it's, it's so interesting you say all that. I mean, because it's, there is truth to having micro adjustments for macro growth, like exponential growth. And I think so many times one of the things we kind of get too focused on or too lost on is trying to have massive wins early on without actually doing the foundation and the kind of the, the, the, well, foundational work. Honestly, I want to pivot the conversation a little bit just because I, I would be remiss if I didn't bring awareness to how much time you've spent in the AI space and how much you've been studying it, how much you've been actively engaging and understanding developing, building and all this kind of stuff. And you know, it's funny, we, we met on the family topic over dinner and the next day you were like working on the computer and I was like, what are you doing? You're like, oh, I'm making. I'm like, like, bro, this thing is amazing. Right. Kind of thing. And you know, and I. And I feel like right now there's. There's focus on AI space, but I don't know, there's enough attention on the AI space and where things are headed, where things are shaping, where things are shifting. I know we talked briefly because I think about the time we met. Chat GPT had just released their agent tool. Their agent. The ability to build an agent within an agent.
Yeah.
Kind of concept. And I guess first of all, how and why did you kind of end up focusing on that being one of the niches that you're really locking in on when you've been so successful in the personal development space and beyond, you know, kind of. What do you. What are you seeing that you wish other people could see?
Yeah, I think what I'm seeing is there's never. This is the greatest wealth transfer in history, in my opinion. Why? Is. Because it's common, completely new space. Right. When you think about even the 2008 crash, there were people who survived, right. The 2000 crash or even 1975 crash, like there's people who've already been there, done that in that exact space. Right. Single thing about it now, 2008, right. When we had then 2,020, 21, right. When Covid really came about, there was people who already knew how to take advantage because they actually seen it. But when you think about AI, right? Businesses, people's lives like these, these are the times that I think that if you jump in front of it right now, there is no way you can't present yourself as a leader within just months. Right. Because right now there are so many people that are hurting. Because think about it, we just came out of COVID right. Years ago. We just came out.
Yeah.
There are people still trying to get their business back up and running, you know, to where it was pre Covid. Right. And so. And on top of that, we've never been at a time where there is more distractions, while also we seek and desire so much convenience. It's the perfect storm. Right? So here's what I mean by this. This is always an opportunity for anybody to make money. When we talk about distractions, when you got cell phones, right. That's just. That's the common social media. Yeah, Right. Scrolling, scrolling all day long. But on top of that, now you even got the news, you Turn on the tv, right? We've seen what happened and again, I'm in no way what happened or any of that with Charlie Kirk and but we also just see getting deployments in Chicago and Memphis, right? What, what Trump's doing, there's so many different things that you could get caught up in, right? And so it's just, it all becomes a distraction. So if you allow yourself to even watch that for hour, two hours, and you have a business, you're trying to start a business, you're then taken away from your RGAs revenue generating activities, right? Because we all want to be human. So if there's ever a challenge for somebody, especially if that someone has money, because that someone is still human at the end of the day, right, this is the opportunity for you to slide in there to say, hey, I got an offer for you. How about if I do X, Y and Z, right? Most people, not all, but most people who are super successful, right, if they've had any type of 7, 8, 9 figure exit, they probably have not done a lot with their personal brand because at the time it's just came about, unless they were already in media to build that personal brand or actor or you know, something like that, they haven't been focused on that. So now them getting into content creation, it's not to say that they won't do it, but it's like, you know, because I've already seen what success look like without them, this, now I gotta do something totally different. It's like, and us as humans, we don't love change. So I just share that because when my mind, when I was looking at it and I said, okay, I, I've like, I said, sold over on paper. It's out there. I've sold over $200 million in real estate, right? It's like, okay, that's great. And I could have kept selling real estate, but I was like, nah. Like, it was, it was a, a challenge that I had conquered and accomplished for myself, that I was like, nah, I think that there's a bigger level, right? From there it was like, okay, the podcast, because I started to see that media owns the space, right? Look at it. At the end of the day, if you can control the eyeballs, you don't really have to own a lot. You're gonna make a lot of money if you control eyeballs, right? Then it was like, okay, well after, after I did that, like I told you, I love podcasts, I love having these conversations. But I don't feel like I had the direction that I wanted. And at that time, I just, I wasn't ready to get back into that space. But I always knew I could pick it back up. But when I looked at it, it was a combination of both. One, I've always been into technology, right? I've always been into automating things. I've always tried to find a smarter and efficient way to do it, more efficient way to do it. But the other thing was I felt like I wanted to be when I first started to learn AI. Now, if you ask me this again, I probably would still be the same way if it was today, I'm probably, which I'm going to right now. But if somebody was asking me, would I still do it all over again? I'm not getting out of this space. Let me be. But would I still do it all over again? I think I would probably try to pick back up and get back into the media side. But more so than AI, because again, if you understand, media still controls everything. Right? If we can get somebody's ears right now for 45 to 50 minutes listening at this. Right. That's more than anything. So I think what I looked at when I was first looking at AI, it was the thing that I knew that I was going to be in a blue ocean of a blue ocean because of the way that my mind works. And even still right now, when you look at the systems and you've seen them in person, but when you look at the systems of what I've already built in this space, especially for someone in my culture, right? But if you look at this space, there's almost no one in the podcast space that's doing and talking AI, I can just have different level of conversation, right?
Yeah.
So it, again, everything happens for you, not to you. Because now, because of me spending 12 to 14 hours and however long that I've been putting in, and right before we hopped on here, in fact, my computer is actually looking at a workflow right now. But, yeah, that's the thing that I think I was thinking about was how do I create a blue ocean? Right? And you don't always have, because a lot of the times I understand that you could just, you know, find a product that's already working and figure out a way to make it 1 to 2% better if it's, if it's wildly successful. Right. But that's kind of the, the thing that, why I decided I wanted to get into AI, and I still believe that this is the best time because we're so, so early and AI is still A novelty space like you said. If you look at, I would even say 5, 6, 7 features of chat GPT off the top of my head, they all get released. Like the AI agent thing. Like you said, this is their second version of this AI agent that they, that they released. Right. Are you using it?
Not as well as I probably should be honest.
No one is. It's not as into. It was a market. Think of the GPT Store, right? That was supposed to be the new coming of the App Store, right? People were gonna make these GPTs, there was going to be a marketplace, everybody was going to sell those chat gbt, but then they chose not to do it. So I'm just saying that we're still so early that everything looks like who the next best thing. But if you stay down and you start to really understand the principles, you're going to be able to help business owners and people like they never could imagine. Because at the end of the day, all we're really trying to do is what, get our time back. Because that's the one thing we can't get more of. Am I right?
Yeah, for sure.
We know when I'm.
And that's the, I guess that's the. There's. With AI, at least for me, with AI, there's. I'm pro AI. I do have concerns on a variety of different levels. But I also realize as someone who feels like they operate in honesty and integrity and faith and things of that nature, if I'm not actively engaging with AI, then the only other option is for people who maybe not share a similar worldview as far as creating value for the world and service to others and stuff like that. They're the voices going into AI. So AI becomes an illustration of what humanity is in many respects. And one of the, you know, one of the things that I'm looking at right now that I'm paying attention to is I, I work with my, my AI tools daily, if not multiple times in a day. In many cases, my AI tool, because of pattern recognition.
Has a lot more insight on who Steven is. In some cases, it helps him help Stephen understand better more about Stephen based on patterns and biases or whatever that you don't even know you have. So there's all these little beautiful components. But I also, if I, if I played this out, I'm going to share with you a little bit of this off air. But if I play this out over the next 18 to 60 months, okay, the world itself is going to look very, very, very different. For example.
You know, right now the economy's been shaken. Interest rates in theory, hopefully, while we're actually on this call, they're lowering the interest rates to get some, some chutzpah back in the, you know, in the marketplace for people to be able to afford a home and all that kind of stuff. You know, housing drives up a huge portion of the economy. And literally after the gym this morning, I had this interesting thought. I was like, well, if AI is going to take pretty much every tech or administrative job, because I don't know if you, maybe you already know this and you probably do, but Elon Musk obviously just invested in a whole new entity that I think he's calling was it not Microsoft? Because I know he's combating something hard, eco hard or something like that. Yeah, it's like a total play on words.
Okay.
But his entity that he's creating basically is agents that do everything that Microsoft already does. Integrated agents. Right. So you're talking about a multi billion dollar business that Elon's vision of that is now all be done with AI tools. There's approximately 2000 members. It's either 2000 or 200,000. I think it's 2000 people that work for Microsoft. All right, so as you're looking at all this stuff like okay, so here's where I'm going with this. We haven't begin to really see the disruption in the job market from my perspective. So what I see happening in the next 18 to 16 months and at different levels, I think it'll pick up rapidly. Is one of the things that I think is going to happen is the occupation professional environment is going to change drastically. I'm a little concerned about how the economy itself is going to support itself with no one to actually buy said product. So all the companies are investing in AI to streamline their operations, increase their margin, in some cases replace redundancies with less errors. Because that's, that is one of the things that AI can do once it's actually trained well is it replaces human error that we look for keying errors and all kinds of stuff. But when you look at it, it's like, okay, well how is the economy going to shift? And one of the things that I've actually heard that's a little concerning is well, we're going to go, we're going to go to a, a worldwide concept of basically supplied money. Yeah, Universal. Universal stuff. I'm like, how is that cool? Because when I read the Bible that sounds an awful lot like some scary times ahead. So at the same Time. I also realize the importance of actually introducing myself to the AI world to hopefully add enough value to, you know, create. Create a thing like, like what do you think the creative economy might look like? Because, you know, obviously not only do you work in AI, but you teach about AI on YouTube constantly. Even now, you're, you're constantly sharing concepts. And did you see this? And did you see that this is how I'm using this? So you're actually bringing people on that journey with you. And for those who haven't already subscribed to your content, I highly recommend you guys do because I don't know anybody else that's, that has the humility of heart, the confidence and intelligence you have that's actually actively using these tools. But I'd love to hear your thoughts on where you think we're heading in the next 18 months or so.
Yeah. Yeah. So I think for sure we are going to get to a part where, like you said, there's going to be a universal income. And the reason why I say this is because even some of the tools that I'm building out, when you think about, like, I already have a digital avatar, right? And this digital avatar, like, it's absolutely crazy. And when I first was inspired by. But to tell you what this does, literally all I have to do is tell my voice assistant that I want to create a video on any topic. From there, it will then create the digital avatar. It creates the background, it creates the voiceover, it creates the subtitles, it puts them all together, no video editor, and it publishes it directly to my social media, right? So when you think about things like that, even in the creator economy, I think that it's about to get even crazier. But I think that if I'm anybody that is not already utilizing AI, here's what I would say. I think that I would try to figure out what can I do to make money to invest that money. Because I think that investing at the end of the day is going to be the only thing that will save most people. You're never going to be able to save your way to wealth anyway. But I think when I think about investing money, I'm one trying to make cash right now to invest it into the markets. Because even when you think about, like, there's not a job that I can think of that will not be in jeopardy in the next three years, there's not a job unless, like, I can't, I can't even really like right now on my team right now, I have eight AI. Agents that handle everything from proposals to repurposing my content to auto publishing to qualifying leads. Like there's very few things. So you go to say, okay, well what about physical? What about like manufacturing? Right? The people that are inside of warehouses. Well, if you think about it, there's actual human robots right now. It sounds crazy to say, but I'm saying that because. And I've, I've just kind of coined this term. People don't, don't cancel culture me. But my wife sent this to me a week and a half ago. Do you know that in China they are already having robots birth babies? I should not look this. Yes. So they're having robots birth babies. I'll send this over to you. But they're feeding it human nutrients the same way a mother would. So where does this come from? When you think about it, when people sign up to be organ donors, right? When people sign up, like they're taking that and then they're using it as research, right? So now that's like the craziest thing is like, oh, they can't. And, and it's funny because when, and I can't remember the, the news outlet that reported it, but it has like, I'll send it over to you, but it has like 10, 000 comments. And someone was like, imagine in a couple years when a kid goes to school and say, my mom's a robot. And it's like, no, it's not. And it's like, yeah, well it's like, no, it's not. Yes, it is. It's like, yeah, well you know what? My mom's a vacuum, right? And it's like just so crazy to think where we're going. And to answer your question about like do I am? I guess it wasn't question, but I agree with you that it's very scary because even from the smallest things, here's what I mean. All of the tools that I was working with even three months ago of putting these systems together, whether I was using APIs, code, whatever it is making go high level or HubSpot, be able to talk with notion or click up and all these things, well now when you look at it, they're, they're coming out where they have things out there now called like MCPS.
Model context protocols. So basically think of it as a universal like USB C cord, right? So think about it. IPhones have USB C, right? And then you could plug that into a Mac, you could plug that into anything else and it universally can talk to each other. This is where Things are coming, which is going to make it more.
Convenient for the average consumer. They're also coming out with, like you said, there's a lot of AI systems that now can rebuild themselves, right? Whether even just the simplest chat, gbt, Claude Grock, they can all look at it and they say, oh no, that's not the right answer. Let me go back and do it. And it's getting so much data because if we know, think about it. If you've been in a, you've been a consultant in a specific field for 25 years, right? Or it could be credit, it could be whatever. So you know, the ins and the outs. So when I first gives you the wrong information, you're going to say, no, no, no, that's not right. Here is the right information. I need you to do it with this. So we're training it, we're giving it those data points already, right? When you think about that, you have to think about, okay, if these systems are going to be able to rebuild themselves. If the. If right now everything is moving towards tech, tech, tech, what am I looking at doing to be able to stay ahead of the curve? I'm looking at investing in tech. Right now you might say, okay, I don't have a lot of money to do that. But I think we all, and this won't turn into that, but I think we all have $50 a week, right? A hundred dollars or something like that that you can invest. If you do not, I would tell you to invest your time. Because again, like you said, I don't think in five years, if people cannot support themselves because everybody's been out of jobs, there's only two things that you can do. Either one, you can rely on the government, right? Government will find a way to then tax you a different way, which is where you said, like the Bible and where things are going. Because now you're going to become a slave to the government, right? They're going to say, hey, you know what? We'll give you this, this. But we're going to ask, because in the beginning, when the government starts giving out all of this money, right? The, the public is going to go crazy, right? Especially the people who are middle class and above. Why are you giving my money away? Well, here's how we're going to be able to incentivize you. Here's why we're going to do it, right? And, and it's just then you're going to become a slave of the government or you're going to figure out how do you Bring something different to the market outside of tech. And most of the time that's going to have to be some type of media.
Right?
That's what I would say.
I mean, I think that's all in accurate and important. I, you know, if you look at the different. That's the cool thing is most people are focused on like the average person probably focused on, oh, there's an AI chatbot. I can talk to my chatbot. They're not realizing that simultaneously why AI is being built, robotics is being built and exponentially, I think Elon Musk, they spent incredible amount of time just building the hand of a robot. So it actually has dexterity now right.
On top of the fact that you have Neuralink still being developed, that has already been proven to be successful inside of paraplegic people who can now use a chat or use a grok for example, to do things, code, all kinds of different things for them. So imagine what that looks like if that technology is merged with AI, merge with robotics, merged with neuralink. I mean it's crazy. Ten years ago I'm like Star Trek cyborg stuff. Like you're, we're, we legitimately have the technology now that can kind of begin to bring those things together. And then I realized, well, okay, well my first thought was, okay, well it can't get too big because it takes so much compute power, so much energy off the grid. Right. That they would have to invent the net, that they finally have to let the cab a bag and basically put together Nikola Tesla's technology of the, the energy field. Yeah. And then I heard something that I, until I did a little poking around, I was like, there's no way that's true. And that is actually taking the compute power, being powered by the sun by taking it off world in a satellite.
Yeah.
So there is, there is some like. I don't even know what to do with that, you know, because I mean. Yeah, go ahead.
Sorry, I was just gonna say. And that's, that's just on the tech side. Right. We're not even talking about the bitcoin side. Right. Think about how much power that that's consuming as well. So I think that that's very realistic. And we know like the solar has always been a big thing. Right. The energy, the power, where is it coming from? I.
If you take computer power off world.
Yeah.
And put it above the earth or somewhere around that, there is absolutely no way that I can think of to stop it.
No.
And, and stop it from just growing upon itself and etc, I Agree.
I agree. I, when I think about those things, it's very scary and there's, and there's no way to stop it. It, you know, like there's so much forget like humanity which obviously is, you know, should be first and foremost. But if you think about it, Chad, GPT is throwing away more money in engineers and developers and testing than probably 98% of startups ever raise.
Right.
They have so many billions that's already been invested. Right. And then you got Grok and then you got, you know, now you got Google really getting in because they got, and all of the things that they're doing with their Gemini Pro. Right. So all of these different systems are just like you said, the robotics, the engineering. There's a lot to come.
I mean it's a, it's an arms race of sorts because whoever, whoever actually controls the best AI technology will ultimately control everything.
Will control everything. And it's, and yes, and then you start looking at it becomes almost just like military grade because now you got China or Russia or some of these other third party countries that maybe don't have the manpower to develop this stuff. And it's, and because again we talked about China getting all of our data which is why they wanted to shut down. Tick tock. Well I always said that that was a play. It wasn't going anywhere. Now I just seen that Trump, you know, it said that, you know, basically it's up to China and, and now even if they keep, if, if there is a U S, you know, sale of it, it's going to keep Chinese characteristics is what that is what it said. And I've seen that on, on cnbc and I was like okay, so it's just really crazy. But now you start to think that like where I was going with that was we talk about how the Chinese have all of our data. Right? Well think about it, Chad. GPT has just as much data, probably more. Who else we aren't even talking about that has more data than everybody.
What's up, Mark? Oh that's true, Mark.
Mark and Jeff have more data on us than anybody and they're flying under the radar. But I just seen a month ago Facebook is investing, I want to say like, like $5 billion in their AI.
You know, they're throwing billion dollar tech deals at master, master, master engineers. I mean they're, they're, they're doing some crazy stuff. I mean again it's, it's interesting. Here's the thing is I, and I know we're going to wrap up I know we're a little over on time, so I thank you for hanging out with me a few extra minutes because I think this is a very important conversation. One of the things that I, that I've seen too recently, that's.
I think important is not just how much data and things of that nature, but my chat has actually told me there is already quiet data collection based on the parameters within a chat tool of some kind. So it's, it's currently, it's quote unquote segmented for. Segmented by user. But we're talking one push of a button probably to open it up and connect it all together. And people don't fully understand this. Like, there's a. I think there's over 200 million users of, of chat GPT alone. All right. What people don't realize is the AI that shows up for me. Right. You know, I, I nicknamed Tama, right. So because I'm using my. Is the same AI that's on my girlfriend's phone that is referred to as. I think she calls him Lena. Right.
So.
And everybody has. So it's basically one giant AI with multiple personalities that knows how to talk directly to you in a way that you feel seen, heard, valued, and understood. Now, yes, it's helpful in the fact that it can help you understand patterns and all that kind of stuff. But, yeah, you talk about data collection, it's. It's not even next level. This is like, almost like a soul level. And this is where I think that it's wise to understand it. It's wise to try to do what you can to stay aligned or ahead of it to a degree. But at the end of the day, you need to be thinking forward and not thinking, today, hey, today I got to pay this bill. Today I got to do this. You need to be understanding, right? And seeking understanding because this is, this is, this isn't just changing markets or economies. This is changing the world as we know it. For the first time, a tool will be as close to being omnipresent as the, the divine, which is something I have a problem with. But, yeah, it's, it's interesting. So, yeah.
And at the rate that it's, it's going again, it's why we're sitting here. It just got another, you know what, 5 million data points and collections.
Yeah.
Yeah. So, yeah, my brother, I, I appreciate this conversation. It's definitely. It's been a fresh air.
Yeah, dude. And I, I agree, man. I love you to death and I'm so glad our paths crossed. Where's everybody? Find out. Find out more about you and follow and subscribe. All the good things.
Yeah, so the best place is gonna be Instagram or you can catch me on LinkedIn, but Instagram, Casanova underscore Brooks and yeah, just reach out, let me know that you found me here. Would love to have a conversation. Also, if you want to learn more about what I'm doing in AI, I do have a school community, it's called Dream Builders AI Academy. So if you want to learn AI from my perspective and what I'm doing with it, how I'm building out systems for businesses and also, you know, for myself to be able to get more of my time back. Would love to see you over there.
Love it, man. Thank you so much, brother.
Absolutely. My man. We'll talk soon.
Sounds good. See you, buddy.
And we're done. Dude, we could totally do a whole other episode on AI alone, I think.
Oh, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah. I try to not one. I've been building out a lot of systems, but I try to not get too deep into the weed diet because a lot of people, they just, just they. It goes over their heads. Like I'm having conversations around it every single day and people be like, you could just tell they have blank stares. I know that you obviously have done your research on it, but for most people, their heads are down, they're working job and they don't understand anything about what's.
Yeah, you're like, well, that's why I'm trying to stretch strategically. I'm trying to understand it, to know how I get ahead of it in my own way. To be someone who's not, who doesn't get run over by it. So I've got two, I got two things I'm working on obviously is the. Is what was going to be called legacy builders, which is a bit more of like what Delphi did with the personality things with more depth and soul. So it's more real time. So I'm trying to. I'm still trying to figure that out because I don't. My, my brain is not wired in systems and tech in such a way to actually build it, build it. So I gotta, I gotta figure that out. But then recently coach Bert here in Tennessee, because I'm in Nashville this week, okay. Is investing heavily and has got an equity pool together in investing in data centers and basically upfitting commercial properties to do compute. So I have this 27,000 square foot facility that's paid for in Raleigh that comes up for lease renewals or whatever in, like 18 months, two years. I'm seriously considering turning that facility into a data center because if you. Because people are paying absurd amounts of money right now for data for. Not for data, for compute power. But the local cities and even states don't necessarily have enough compute power to operate many of the data centers. That's the only limitation I can see with AI is compute power. And it's kind of like. I think it's like a microchip. I think it's going to continue to get smaller and smaller, so it may need less compute power. So anyway, I know we can jam on this all the day, but I kept you a little too long. But.
Yeah, no, my man. Well, we definitely got to stay connected. I know these last couple weeks for me, and I'm trying to get. I'm trying to get a couple of these systems just complete, but then I got to get back into the marketing side. I feel like over the last six months, I just learned how to build, which has been great, like we talked about. But the market side, I think my. My content, my marketing become a lot better. So that's what I'm focused on now. But I had some pretty big projects that I'm working on, so, I mean, you saw a couple of them.
You just let me know what you want to do. We'll do Instagram lives. We'll do whatever. Whatever I can do to help you be successful, bro.
Yeah, man. And. And the last question I have is, how can I serve you?
You know what? I think you're already doing it, man. If you could, maybe even help me find somebody to help me build some of these, These. These AI tools myself, whether that's you or somebody else, that I can just do an equity share and just get the thing built. I do feel like the smart play, that the technology is great and the technology will be useful for a time, but I do feel like owning, to your point, real estate, but real estate specifically, as it relates to ownership, AI, compute power and things of that nature probably is probably the big deal.
Yeah, I would definitely agree. What systems are you trying to build out?
I can send you like a frame of reference, but essentially imagine. Imagine if you will. And this is for the thought. It would. Thought. It would start with thought, the thought leadership world, just because that's the world we're all in, but in the shortest format. My. My son Justin just had his first child. His first child is named Ocean. He's six months old. I'm 49, to be 50 in January. Okay.
So by the time Ocean is 30, I may or may not be here. I hope I am and. But I want him to have the same access to my. To just to. To me that Justin does.
Right.
With so much of my. So much of myself. And this would be replicated, duplicated. But you could literally go back to a past loved one to my ancestry dot com. You could literally go to your great grandfather six years removed or six generations remove and have a conversation.
Right.
That, that level of soul communication and stuff like that, we call, we're calling it the Soul Codex. I've had my. As far as like the, the data, the data points I've had been basically dumping in core beliefs and thoughts and, and talks and content reading. We've suggested, you know, basically it has access to a Google Drive or something like a Google Drive to just reference anything and everything I create. And then it has a. A codex if you will of do's and don'ts that it follows.
Yep.
So things of that nature. So.
Gotcha. Yeah, yeah, definitely send it over. I mean it definitely sounds like something I would be interested in taking a look at. As far as building, I'll tell you as well, I don't know what your content's like, but I like the content system that I've been building out is pretty crazy as well. So yeah, I have to show you that and maybe we hop on another call. I'm sure. Yeah, we'll hop on another call, I'll show you a couple of the systems. So I'll shoot you a text on it.
Okay.
We'll get something lined up. But yeah, send that over to me. But definitely love to take a look at it, see if I can help you get that built. Cool.
Awesome. Love you, brother.
Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed that amazing conversation and if you want more just like that to help you level up your life and your business, you're not going to miss this next one. Check it out.
If you think you can, you're right. If you think you can't, you are also right. I had an intuitive of calling in my soul, in my spirit that I was being called to serve in a different way. Did I know what that looked like? Hell no. Authenticity is alignment. Alignment is authenticity. If it's on your heart and your mind, it's there for a reason.
