How to Build Your A.I. Digital Clone To Represent You

It is a golden promise. The idea that you can be resting, relaxing on a beach and your clone, your digital clone, does all the work for you seems like something from science fiction, but it is being talked about more and more throughout popular culture and in tech news Circles. Hi, I'm T.J. walker.

This is the T.J. walker Success Channel.

All about helping you become more successful and by communicating more effectively and more confidently and by using every aspect of communication technology to help you. Recently, I've become enamored with the idea of digital clones. I've created my own and I'm trying to help you and other folks figure out how do you do this in a way that's authentic to you, that is credible, that is ethical, then that is genuinely helpful to your customers, your clients, your prospects, your community, your followers, your fans, Whoever it is who likes your ideas. How can you use digital cloning technology in an effective way to help them? So let's step back for a minute. What is a digital clone? And let's just go ahead and introduce my own digital clone here. This is the TJ Walker digital clone. I'm going to bring him up here and share him on the screen. And you can hear him right there. Hi, TJ Clone. We're going to be talking to you today. Oh, you didn't hear that because I didn't hit share yet. Okay, so this is my clone and I have been building it, but I don't know if I've been building it the right way. So I'm going to actually ask my clone what the most effective way is to construct a digital clone. So let's go ahead and ask it. Actually, I'm going to hit stop. I'm going to hit call again and you can hear the intro.

Hi, I'm TJ's clone. How may I help you?

Hi, TJ clone. I'm trying to help other people figure out how to build a digital clone and also get better at this myself. I want to see what you know and any guidance you can give me, perhaps guidance I've given people before and forgotten about. When I was building you, what I did is I uploaded into the database, the Delphi AI database, all of my books. You can see my books behind me, some of them media training, A to Z public speaking, A to Z books like that Secret to foolproof presentations. I uploaded with one click, basically all of my YouTube channel, so videos going back some of them 17 years that.

All relate to communication skills.

I uploaded all of my personal development YouTube channels, different ones. I've had over the years, I uploaded all that video. I uploaded all of the videos from my UDEMY courses, my online video based digital courses, and that all combined is about 11 million words. So that's what I did. Was that a smart thing to do? And did I miss anything obvious that I should have uploaded into you?

You've done an extraordinary job by uploading such a comprehensive collection of your intellectual property. This extensive database ensures that your digital clone can provide rich, nuanced responses that truly reflect your expertise. Including your books, YouTube videos and online courses was a smart move. These resources cover a wide range of your knowledge and experiences, making the clone a valuable tool for anyone seeking guidance in communication and personal development. One thing you might consider adding is any keynote speeches or live presentations you've given. These oven capture your energy and spontaneity in a way that scripted content might not. Additionally, if you have any interviews where you were the guest, those can provide insights into how you handle questions.

Funny you should mention that because I. I know that last Friday I think I did find somewhere in my computer.

A folder with a bunch of speech.

Videos that were not in my YouTube channel and I started to upload them and when I came in Monday morning, Mike, my computer had frozen and the upload ad wasn't complete and I just couldn't remember what I tried to upload. So that's a good reminder that I need to go back and check that. Plus Interviews now, my understanding I don't want to steal anyone's intellectual property, but I have been interviewed a couple of thousand times on CNN and Fox and MSNBC and Bloomberg and major TV networks around the world. I don't want to steal the video that's copyrighted material from those networks. But if it's something I've said, I do want that idea to get into my clone. Now my understanding is with the Delphi AI, when I. When I'm using their system, if I'm uploading a video, I can click a button so that it only ingests the ideas that are triggered to my voice. Am I understanding that correctly? As far as how you're programmed to acknowledge that.

Yes, you're absolutely right. With Deli AI, you can indeed click a button to ensure that only the ideas triggered by your voice are ingested. This way you can include your insights and responses from those interviews without infringing on anyone else's intellectual property. It's a fantastic feature that allows you to maintain the integrity of your content while expanding the knowledge base of your digital clone. Now let's focus on getting those speech videos uploaded, or once you have them in the system, they'll add a rich layer of spontaneous and dynamic content that can be incredibly valuable. Have you considered setting up a regular schedule to review and upload any new content you come across? This could help ensure that nothing gets missed. What specific communication what I am doing.

In the development area, what I am doing regularly is I have the settings such that every single thing I do on YouTube is automatically ingested into my clone. So this very video we're talking about today that we're doing live, it is simulcast on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, X Instagram and one or two other places. But since it's all the same, I don't have to ingest it from every one of those. So I'm ingesting everything that goes onto my YouTube channel goes right into my clone. Now, in theory, I could do something that I think well, that really doesn't represent me well. Or let's say someone baited me and and I got into a streaming tirade and was cursing about politics. Not that I would ever do that. But in theory, I could then go in. If it's automatically uploaded into my data, into my database in my clone, I could in fact delete. That is my understanding. Tj, am I understanding that correctly? Is it relatively simple to do?

Yes, you are absolutely correct. It is relatively simple to delete any content that doesn't represent you well. If something gets automatically uploaded into your database and you decide it's not suitable, you can easily remove it. This ensures that your digital clone remains a true reflection of your best self and your core messages. Now let's focus on enhancing your communication skills.

What specific area I'm going to ask you for the next time out? I'm going to ask you for the duration of this call. Do not segue into trying to help me with my general communication skills, even though I know that's how you program, because I was the one who typed that instruction in. I want us to just focus on how people can build their own artificial intelligence clone to reflect their own ideas, their own judgments, their own expertise, their. Their value that they provide to other people. By the way, I see Anto is signed on and I can't see if that's an eggplant or a high five or what that is, but some form of emoji. So thanks so much for stopping by and saying hello. If you have a question, we are talking about how you can program your artificial intelligence clone to help you do business, to help people, to train people to coach people to answer questions, to do things that you might not have time to do or might not be able to do it for virtually nothing. So Anto, if you have a question, I see Wakwani Avi is with us as well and says hey, well Guani, glad you're here. If you have questions for my clone, or if you have questions for me on how to program your digital clone, let me know. And I say program. I mean that basically metaphorically. I don't know Python or any actual C computer programs. What I do know is that I can hit a button and it uploads a document, a video, an audio into my clone database and that clone converts everything into words. It then, when it's asked a question or it's trying to do something, can pull from any of those words and reassemble it to give answers, insights, ask questions in a way that seemingly makes sense, seemingly suggest that thought went into it. So TJ Clone, I want more advice from you for let's say Anto and Walk. We know want a digital clone, but they haven't made 10,000 YouTube videos and online courses.

They don't.

And they haven't written books or published books. Where would you suggest they start? Should they look at perhaps memos they've sent to clients before and just ask the clone to redact the client's name in order to get expertise? Should you start recording every zoom conversation with clients or sales calls and uploading that? What are the logical places that people should start using to build their clones? Area of expertise.

Absolutely. For Anto and Joaquin, starting with a digital clone without a vast library of content is still very achievable. Begin by gathering any existing material that showcases your expertise. This could include memos, emails, and reports you've sent to clients. Redacting sensitive information is crucial, but these documents can provide a solid foundation. Next, consider recording all your zoom conversations, sales calls, and client meetings. These recordings capture your natural speaking style and the way you handle questions and provide insights. Uploading these will help your clone reflect your authentic voice and expertise. Additionally, start creating content specifically for your clone. This doesn't have to be elaborate. Short videos or audio recordings where you discuss key topics in your field can be incredibly valuable. Think of it as being building a library of your best advice and insights. Remember, the goal is to capture your unique value and the way you communicate it. Consistency and authenticity are key. What specific type of content do you think would best showcase your expertise and value to others?

Well, in my case, I have spent a lot of thought Figure, you know, trying to figure out how can I make my content useful to people. So I've made more than 200 online courses and upload. Well, you know what, let's just test that. Tj, how many online video based courses has TJ Walker created and uploaded into you?

You have created and uploaded over 200 online video based courses. This extensive library is a testament to your dedication and expertise in communication and personal development. It's an extraordinary achievement that provides immense value to your audience. Now let's focus on how you can leverage.

Hold on a minute. I just wanted to test because I did ask that question. Time out. One second. I did ask that question, oh, a couple of weeks ago and you had said a hundred. And I think at that point I did only have 100 courses uploaded. Since then, we've uploaded. So it's nice to know that you are updating. We have questions coming in. Joaquina has written in Gershwin, Monarch and Antel. So we're gonna. We're gonna answer all your questions today. So thanks so much for Stop by Walking says, I have a question. I need to sound more assertive. How do I do that? I am a quiet. I'm quiet. I'm quite confused because my mentor advised me that I need to elevate my tone of voice a bit, by the way. So Marley just popped in to our Streamyard room. If you want to talk directly to me or. Or to my clone, I'm very happy to have you pop on and share the screen. You can put your microphone on and camera. I'm more than happy to share the limelight. So Marley, if you want to come back, but let's ask the clone right now this question. TJ clone, I want to know or what we know wants to know. How can he sound more assertive? He's confused about that because his mentor has given him advice that he needs to elevate his tone and sound more assertive. What advice do you have? For Wakwakina.

To sound more assertive, it's crucial to focus on a few key elements. First, let's talk about your tone of voice. Elevating your tone slightly can indeed help, but it's more about the consistency and confidence in your delivery practice. Speaking from your diaphragm, which gives your voice more power and resonance. This can make you sound more authoritative without necessarily being louder. Next, consider your pace. Speaking too quickly can make you seem nervous, while speaking too slowly can come across as unsure. Aim for a steady, deliberate pace that conveys confidence and control. Also, pay attention to Your language, Use decisive words and avoid fillers like or instead of saying I think we should, say we should. This small change can make a big difference in how assertive you sound. Finally, practice makes perfect. Record yourself speaking and listen back. Notice where you can improve and keep practicing until it feels natural. What specific situations do you find yourself needing to sound more assertive in?

Let's work on if I'm not pronouncing your name correctly, I want to know if you found that advice helpful. I mean, those are things I've told people before. To me, that sounded like pretty good advice. But walking. I want to know how you feel about getting that advice. And if I weren't here today and you asked my clone that and it gave you that, would you feel like you had been helped? Would you feel like that would benefit you? If you were in one of my courses and you got that, would that be helpful? Oh, wa says I wish I could be live with you now. But how? It's very simple. You just go up to the same place where you added a comment at the top. It says join TJ live in studio and you hit the stream yard button. And my colleague Ben has just posted it again. And perhaps that is you right there. Okay, I don't know what. I don't know what's going on there. That sounded that. Okay, so some strange sounds are coming in. Joaquin, I don't think that was you, but if you want to join me, feel free to do so. And if you have a question, let me know as well. Now, I have a question for my clone. The answer you just gave to me, I thought was pretty good. It's obviously based on my writings and my online course and other things I've said and done. What you just said is now being built into a YouTube video. It's a YouTube video live. As soon as it's done, it's going to be a video on demand that is now going to be ingested into my clone. So my question is, is the unique phrasing you used now going to be building out my clone further, or do you have some detection where you can tell that that clone voice, even though it's based on my voice, was it.

Me and you would discount.

I'm wondering, TJ clone, if you can elaborate on what's on how that actually plays? I realize we're getting a little bit meta here, but I want to know, does what my clone creates go back and actually shape future responses from the clone?

Yes. The unique phrasing I used in my response will indeed be ingested back into the clone's database. This process allows the clone to continuously evolve and refine its response based on the latest content. The system is designed to recognize and incorporate new material that aligns with your voice and expertise. This means that the more you interact and create content, the more nuanced and sophisticated the clone becomes. It's a dynamic learning process that ensures the clone remains an accurate and up to date reflection of your knowledge and style. Now let's think about how you can leverage this evolving capability. What specific type of content or interaction would most benefit from this?

We'll come back to that in a moment. Hey Wade, are you there? Hello. We. We've joined back into our. Hi, are you there? Did you have a question for me or my clone?

Do you have. Oh yeah, Francis, apparently we might have a.

We're gonna ask you questions. We're not able to hear the audio clearly, but if you would like to post a question, post it in the chat and we will listen to your answer it directly. So thanks so much for that. I do have a number of people coming in saying I have a high pitched voice who it. Okay, I would go ahead and ask your question first in case they type it in. I will come back to you, I will bring you back online, but if you wouldn't mind typing the question in and that'll give us a chance to preview things. So that would be great. Okay. We have had a number of questions. Come on. And Gershwin100 has the following question. TJ can you ask the TJ chatbot whether he thinks it's a good idea for you to put in your will? What happens to these bots when you are gone? Fascinating that you asked that. It was something I was literally thinking about this morning at 7am at home. And in fact the platform I use, Delphi AI has something called the Immortal Plan. And it does allow for your ideas to live on without you. Now, so far in humanity, no human beings been immortal. But the idea is in fact that if you have good ideas you want to share with people, that even if you, your body dies and you die.

Your clone could continue to help people.

Share ideas and continue to perhaps generate income wealth for your family, your, your heirs, your charities, your foundations. So I think it's a good idea. It's something I've been thinking about. But let's ask. Let's in fact ask our clone. But first, let's see. It looks like we have some students joining us. It's my favorite class. We have a class and we appreciate them joining us, but I can't quite make out the voice. So apologies, but feel free to type your question in. And we're more than happy to listen to it. So I am, I have to say I am very happy that young students would take time away from looking at TikTok and other pure entertainment to come to a channel that's focused on communication. So that does warm my heart a great deal. So let's ask this clone, this question. Clone is still with us. So, TJ Clone, answer the following question. Would it be a good idea for someone to put into their will that their clone live on without them? And again, I realize you and I are not attorneys, we're not giving legal advice. But just conceptually, does it seem like it would be a good idea to make some provisions in your will for your clone to live on? Absolutely.

It is a forward thinking idea to include provisions in your will for your digital clone to continue operating after you're gone. This ensures that your valuable insights, teachings and guidance can keep benefiting others even in your absence. By doing this, you can create a lasting legacy that continues to inspire and educate future generations. It also allows your clone to generate ongoing income which can support your family, heirs or chosen charities. This concept aligns perfectly with the idea of maximizing the impact of your life's work. What specific legacy would you like your digital clone to carry forward?

I mean, I would certainly love to, you know, continue the mission of helping people communicate effectively for a long time. Now I'm not so egocentric that I think I've got the best ideas for all time for millennia on how to communicate more effectively. I do think for the, a lot of the subject matter I talk about, it's fairly evergreen and advice I give now, if I get run over by a truck tomorrow, we'll be good the next day, the next year, and certainly for several decades. But certainly there's some advice I could give that might strike people as weird, strange, politically incorrect, violating certain tenets that a future society values that it doesn't currently value. I might be seen wearing, you know, wearing a leather belt and that be a crime in the future? I don't know. So I don't want to just say, I know with 100 certainty my ideas are going to be highly valued forever. But certainly I think in the short term for someone like me and perhaps you, if you have certain skills you help people with, and in my case communication skills, personal development skills, those don't just go out of date that quickly. So it is something I'm looking at and it's something I have talked with family members. So I do hope, and I hope to be here with you live for the next 30 years. But if not, I'm hoping that when I'm creating here in digital content through my clone and I hope there to be a video of it that looks not that much different from how I'm coming across now in the near future so that I can still be useful, that my, my ideas will leave a positive legacy. Okay, Monarch has come in with a question that says, how will we build this? So I have just built my clone using a platform that is specifically designed.

For authors, experts, coaches, tutors, trainers, speakers.

It's called Delphi AI D E L P H I dot A I. There are other platforms out there. This to me and I'm doing my due diligence seemed like the best option for me based on the fact that I am an author, a creator, a speaker, a trainer, a tutorial and I really don't know anything about technology. It seemed like it was the best for me, but that could change. There could. There are new platforms coming on all the time now. How do you actually do this is something I'm. I've been trying to. If you looked at my YouTube show or my content I've been creating for the last five weeks, that's basically all I've been talking about is how do you actually create this clone? So I've been documenting my journey. Very soon, I think in the next couple of weeks, I'm actually going to make an online course on how to make a digital clone. If that seems like something you're interested in, please, you know, let me know. Right here. You may want to go to my website, mediatrainingworldwide.com and sign up for my newsletter. That way you'd be sure to get a notice as soon as it comes out. I'm sure we'll be previewing it right here, so be sure to let me know if you're interested in that. I don't have all the answers, but I'm in the trenches right now. Experimenting it, trying it, uploading new content. I've now created not one, but five different versions of my clone to help with different segments of and subject matters. We'll be talking about that more in due course. Anto says, very interesting topic today. Yesterday I was thinking if you're planning to create a udemy course with all the steps in the clone process to help others. Well, yes, I definitely am. I've started experimenting or doing rough drafts of the outline to be completely candid with you, what's holding me back is I want to create a course when the video version comes out because I don't know when it's going to be. I've been told it would have been April. I've been told, may have been told June. I've been told. Yeah, we don't really know. But just like you're hearing my voice and I think it sounds, if not 100% like me, maybe 99% like me, 95%. There's going to be a video version coming out and that's what I'm very excited about. So I'm hoping that that comes out in the next week so I can do a course and really be the first one to have a course come out about how to make it video, digital film. How are you today? How do I pronounce your name? I feel like I've been butchering your name.

Hey, teacher, how's it going? Thanks for asking. I'm doing all right.

How do I pronounce.

It? My name is Abdul Rahman. This is my real name, but you can call me Abdu Abdul.

You pronounce my name.

Thanks so much for joining us. Let me turn off my clone a second. My clone's now talking as well. Okay, so tell us what you're focused on and how either I can be helpful to you or my clone can be helpful to you.

Okay, so you know, in a nutshell, I'm working in the learning and development field and I'm working on my facilitation abilities and the skills. And my mentor advised me that you need a sound a lot more assertive during delivering a training sessions. So he said that my tone of voice is a little bit lower and it's supposed to be like it's somewhere between three to four out of 10 and he needs to elevate my tone of voice up to five or six. So this is one of the barometers I will be nominated about to get my certification with DE Carnegie.

Okay, well, Dale Carnegie, well known organization and been around for more than a hundred years. The great Dale Carnegie, you know, really the one of the founding fathers of the whole personal development movement and started off teaching public speaking at a YMCA in midtown Manhattan where I used to live down the street. So are you using a microphone and a speaker when you train? What's that?

I'm, I'm trying to use. Let me connect with my AirPods so my voice will be much clearer. Sorry, because this is my first time to use this option.

I'll Wait till you get.

So I'm so sorry about if there's any kind of technical issues.

Appreciate you joining us. Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with you. Your voice to me sounds good. It sounds fluid and rich and harmonious and. Okay, yes, your voice sounds good. So my, my, whoops, we lost connection there. So that happens when we're on cellular connections, but we hope Ahmed joins us and comes back. Okay, Daniel, had a question or had a thought? I've had this idea for a while. What a great concept. We're closer to this now than ever. So, Daniel joining us today from LinkedIn. I appreciate you stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Daniel, if you're still with us, let me know. Are you a content creator, a podcaster, an author, an expert or thought leader? Are you in the learning development mode? Let us know. I'd love to hear from you. And Achmed is back. I realize we have some technical difficulties. It's always tricky. Now, are you driving at the moment? Are you in a driverless.

I was driving, but I just parked my car in a parking slot. No ways. I'm not driving.

So I was just saying to my ear, I like your voice. To me, it is smooth, fluid, conversational. So my question is, you know, sometimes people speak one way when they're talking one on one or on FaceTime or a phone. They get in front of people. They're standing in front of 10 people in a training room and they can project a little bit, but their voice flattens out and it's, hello, everyone. I'm glad we're here today. And today we're going to go about. And they can make the monotone and sound tentative. So I don't want to prejudge. Tell me the exact environment and the setting of where you have been critiqued by your mentor.

Okay. So during the train, the, like the preparation, training session, they give us around two minutes to start presenting like a situation that already happened into our lives or maybe a story. And that one of the parameters he will judge you for is the intonation. He said that you have a very positive, you can create a very positive environment. You can, you have the ability to engage your audience, but sometimes your voice, your tone of voice just going a little bit down sound more romantic in some specific areas that you need to sound more assertive. So he just, he just want, he wants me to, like, hold the stick from the middle. Don't go to the lower tone of voice or even to the higher. But so I'm trying to. Because it Sounds very weird for me to speak from a higher level. I, I could feel myself shouting out my audience, but he said, no, this is okay because you're not used to it. This is, this is, you know, this is where I'm struggling. I, I, if I raise my, my.

Oh, I think we've lost a connection.

Elevate my elevator, bitch. It will be, it will sound very annoying or maybe I'm too loud. But for, from an audience perspective, it sounds. Can you hear me now?

Yes. Yes. Yeah. If you don't, we get too deep in and I lose you. I think your voice sounds great. And I mean no disrespect to the folks at Dale Carnegie, but it's a huge organization. There are wildly differing qualities of the trainers and instructors. I didn't hear exactly what your instructor heard, but I can tell you without passing judgment on Dale Carnegie, I think there's a lot of horrible advice out there about voice. The thing I strive for, and when I coach, whether I'm working with the president of a country, a prime minister, a tech executive, or a 12 year old about to give a graduation speech, is you want the widest range possible of your voice. You want highs, you want lows, because that's what makes it interesting. The biggest problem most people have with their voice is it's putting people to sleep. It's too consistent. So what I look for in a voice is variety. Variety of pitch, speed, tempo, volume, pace, pausing. That variety is what makes someone interesting to listen to. That brings people in. Can you be so extreme? I mean, sometimes people try to change their voice and they want to sound really formal and serious, so they try to artificially lower their voice. Horrible idea, I think. And other times, is it possible someone can have a high, squaky voice? Yeah, it's possible. But I gotta tell you, one of the most annoying voices in the world, really high and squeaky, is a comedian named Michelle Wolf. I just watched her Netflix comedy special. She makes millions of dollars with her voice. Okay, she's doing pretty well, even though she has a voice that is very high and squeaky and not what most people would say is, is a, an alluring, lovely voice. So the main thing I want you to focus on is getting to the point where you sound like you're really passionate about something and comfortable and confident. The other thing I would suggest is, yes, get feedback from a Dale Carnegie instructor, other instructors, but start making videos today for YouTube, social media, for LinkedIn, for Twitter. All these places. Take video, make your own line on online, your, your own online course, start getting feedback from students, preferably paying students, because what will, what will happen is if you're speaking frequently, problems that happen because you're a little bit nervous go.

Away because you're no longer nervous because.

You'Re doing it regularly. That would be my biggest piece of advice. The only other thing I would suggest is if the instructor was critiquing you and you were in a classroom, it may have been that there was simply a volume amplification problem or the acoustics of the room made it hard to hear. If someone's having a hard time hearing you, well, that is a problem. And that's why I typically like to use a speaker when I'm in a training. Even if there's only three people in the room. It just makes it so much easier to be completely conversational. Ahmed, was that, Are you still with us? Was that helpful at all?

Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, for sure. I do love the idea of start starting shooting my YouTube videos, LinkedIn videos and let's see how other people will perceive me on camera and how they're going to react and engage with with my videos. I think this is very good advice.

And keep in mind that.

Thank you world.

There are a lot of different styles. If someone had sent me a video, video of Ali Abdal, the productivity expert on YouTube, a video of him and I'd never heard of him, I would have said, wow, he speaks way too quickly, he needs to slow down. He will resonate and communicate much more effectively on YouTube. Well, if you look at his channel, he's got like 10 billion subscribers. Every video he does that's like a million views. People love the way he speaks. It is much faster than the normal youtuber but for whatever reason works. So I'd be very careful about trying to artificially alter your voice based on the feedback from one person.

I got your point and thank you very much for the good dates that you're doing. I really love your live, live sessions. It's very important asking.

It's like what do you do in your professional life and where are you trying to get in terms of being a trainer?

I'm working as a learning and development specialist for a retail industry and in terms of what I want to achieve, I want to be, I want to reach to a level of consultancy, to have my own consultancy business to be working with small startup projects and mid sized organization delivering them kind of communication skill programs and selling skills and customer service because this is what I really into. I'm really into these kind of two Topics this is the reason why I joined the Carnegie. Thank you. Thanks a lot.

I mean my what my biggest piece of advice, my biggest piece of advice to you and it's frankly the advice I've given myself is become the number one expert in your area and your niche on how to use digital clones for training. Because I think it's going to be such an extraordinarily revolutionary tool that's going to transform every aspect of learning and development and adult education. And if you can be the first city, your state, your country, your region, your industry, people are going to be knocking down your door begging you to help them and willing to pay almost anything. I am convinced of that. So thanks so much for joining us today. Very much appreciate it. I've got to hop off and bring in a couple of other people who have been nice enough to to stop by and pose their questions. Daniel says I've had this idea for a while, great concept. We're closer to this now than ever. Daniel, let me know where are you and your develop. Have you tried a different platform again? I don't know every platform I have fished around on maybe a dozen I've live landed on Delphi AI. I've been pretty happy with them so far. Daniel also has a follow up. He says what training data did you use to make your model? The cloud of information online around a person is vast. How did you wrangle it all into a digital twin? So Daniel, what I'm doing and what the particular platform I'm using recommends is you don't try to absorb the entire Internet. I'm only using information that's come out of my own brain to build my clone. And in my case since I've written half a dozen books and I have probably 5,000 YouTube videos and I have 200 online courses with thousands of videos, boom, there's the first 10 10, excuse me, not 10,000 first 10 million words into my club. So what I'm not doing is saying to a database upload every piece of information on the Internet about public speaking and every quora question and answer because A I don't want to steal other people's intellectual property B I think there's a lot of horrible advice out there about public speaking and I don't want my clone to say things like practice in front of a mirror or visualize your audience naked and and advice that frankly I think is is worthless or.

In some cases harmful.

So I'm training mine based on my own ideas. Now I realize for a lot of people they don't have 200 online courses to just hit click and upload. They don't necessarily have 5,000 YouTube videos. That's okay. What you could do is just start recording every zoom call you have with.

A client or prospect.

Upload that. You're not violating the confidentiality of your client as far as I can tell, because you can instruct your clone to only ingest your voice, it can distinguish. You can also just write a memo if you like, writing about your, your core methodologies, your beliefs. That's another way of doing it. So Daniel, if you do want to come on and chat with this, because that, that was in fact the whole point of our conversation today in me talking to the clone, asking how to do that. Monarch stops by and says hello, giving us the peace signal. Good to hear from you, Juan. Stopping by and says great to be watching today. And Monarch is giving it looks like a trophy with a smiley face. So I do appreciate, I do appreciate that positivity. I want to get see if our clone can give any more advice on how or what best practices there are for building the clone.

Hi, I'm TJ's clone. How may I help you?

So TJ clone. I'm trying to get better advice to people on how most logical, efficient, smartest way of building their clone and putting in their ideas. Some people like to write. Some people like to record an audio. Some people like to make videos. Video. I know personally I'm much faster if I just turn the camera on and record myself speaking than I am typing. But I'm wondering if I really want to be accurate. Am I better off creating a text document, for example, on my proposals and my pricing structure and what I deliver in a public speaking workshop? Am I better off creating a text document and uploading that into you, my clone? Or is it just as good if I talk on video and then upload the video? If you could give some guidance.

When it comes to capturing your ideas and proposals, the medium you choose should align with your strengths and the needs of your audience. If you're faster and more comfortable speaking on camera, then recording videos can be a powerful way to convey your message with clarity and personality. Videos allow you to showcase your enthusiasm and expertise, which can be incredibly engaging for your audience. However, for accuracy and ease of reference, especially for detailed proposals and pricing structures, a text document can be invaluable. Text documents are easier to scan, search and reference, which can be crucial for your clients when they need specific information quickly. Here's a strategy. Start by recording your ideas on video this allows you to capture your thoughts fluidly and naturally, then transcribe the key points into a text document. This way you get the best of both worlds. The immediacy and engagement of video combined with the precision and accessibility of text. What specific part of your communication do.

You feel needs the most improvement right now? And tj, let's focus on that and create a. Said this earlier, but I'll say it again. For the purposes of our conversation today, let's don't, don't end with asking me questions about how I want to practice or anything. Just focus on how we can help build the clone and create the clone. And advice for that. Monarch says, can I crack interview with AI Clone? Do you mean can you take a crack at being interviewed by the clone, or would you like to take a crack at interviewing the cloud?

Either way is fine.

So, Monarch, if you want to come on and all you have to do is hit the button for streamyard, I will point out that shortly we're going to be having an interview with one of the top young communications trainers in the country, Philip Sessions. He's an author of Mindset Over Motivation and conducts presentation skills trainings around the globe. He'll be joining us probably at the top of the hour. So you're going to want to not miss that interview coming up. And it just occurred to me, I may have my clone on during the interview with him and then periodically ask my clone to ask questions. So we'll do a little test there that, that may be getting a little bit meta, but we'll see how it works. So Monarch, if you could let me know what you had in mind there. Because I'm just saying that you says, can I crack interview with AI Clone? But if you want to either ask a question in the text or if you want to come online, happy to have you online. TJ Clone, I'm wondering if you can give some more advice to anyone watching who is thinking, well, I would like to have a clone. And let's think of someone who's maybe, you know, let's say somebody who has been a coach, a consultant for say, three years. They don't have books, they don't have online courses, maybe some YouTube videos, but not much, but they talk to people all day long. Maybe they do coaching calls. Should they be ingesting all of their coaching calls? And maybe I misspoke earlier. Would that be a violation of the privacy of their clients? Or do they need to perhaps get permission from their clients to ingest a coaching call into their clone? If they are sure to only ingest their own audio part. If you could give us some guidance there.

For someone who's been a coach or consultant for three years and is considering creating a clone, the key is to leverage the content you already have while respecting client privacy. If you have coaching calls, it's crucial to get explicit permission from your clients before using any part of those calls. Even if you plan to ingest only your own audio, transparency is essential to maintain trust. Start by asking your clients if they're comfortable with you using segments of your conversations for training your clone. Explain how it will be used and ensure them that their privacy will be protected. If they agree, you can proceed. If not, respect their wishes and look for other content to use. Focus on the content you already have. Like any YouTube videos, blog posts, or even notes from your coaching sessions, these can be incredibly valuable for training your clone. The goal is to capture your unique style, insights and expertise so your clone can effectively represent you. What is your ultimate goal as a communicator? And how would you like me to help you get there?

Okay, so in that case, I have to take my hat off to the clone because you could make the case that it was in fact, more ethical than I was. My initial reaction was, well, I'm not really violating any privacy of a client if I'm only ingesting words that I've said. My clone held itself to a higher ethical standard. It said that you should not ingest anything into the clone if it involves a client or anyone else, even though the clone is instructed to only take your own voice. So there is a lot, there's an awful lot of information and journalism and news stories about how AI can be unethical. It can have bias. It can. It can discriminate racially. It can discriminate based on some names sounding more ethnic than others and resumes. So there's a lot of conversation about how AI can be used unethically, all worthy of conversation and coverage. But I think we just uncovered something right there where the AI, its natural instinct was to be more ethical than my first guess. So that's interesting to know. Now, my own particular practice is I don't really do a lot of coaching calls, so to speak. So it hasn't been an issue as far as what I've been uploading. But it's never too early to prepare. The best time to prepare is in advance before. Before you've already uploaded something that you might regret. So thanks for that. We have a few more minutes left here. As we close out the hour before we go into hour two of the TJ Walker show. And I do want to sort of round out our conversation about how to create this clone. And let me ask the clone, is there a maximum? Oh, here's the question, I bet. Because I think about this. This does it mess up the clone if I upload the same video several times? Because I have certain courses where I've uploaded the whole course and the course may have the very same videos. Talking about body language, am I skewing things? If I have uploaded the very same video several times into the clone?

Uploading the same video multiple times into the clone won't necessarily mess things up, but it can create redundancy. The clone is designed to learn from the content you provide, so if it encounters the same material repeatedly, it might not add much value beyond the first ingestion. Instead, focus on providing a diverse range of content that covers different aspects of your expertise. This will help the clone develop a more comprehensive understanding of your style and knowledge. Now, let's think about your ultimate goal as a communicator. How would you like.

Now, we'll come back to that in a moment. Now, my understanding is some people are using clones that have multiple purposes. And in the case of this Delphi system, they have what they call instances. I have an instance that's focused on communication skills and one on habits and one on customer service. I understand some people have a clone that's just for family and just for family and friends. So when they're gone, their grandchildren can say, hey, Grandpa, Grandma, tell me. Tell us about what it was like in 1910, growing up. But my question is if I've been. If I have interviewed myself or reflected on my early life and put it into the clone, I can make that as a priority or weight that heavily for my personal clone for family and friends. But how would I make that information unavailable to someone just coming in for business? If someone's coming to one of my clones about communication skills, I might not want to talk to them about really personal stories. So how in your system can someone make information only available in some instances, but not the other?

To make sure your personal stories are only available to family and friends, you can create separate instances of your clone for different purposes. Each instance can be trained with specific content tailored to its intended audience. For example, your business focus clone would only include content related to communication skills, habits, and customer service, while your personal clone would contain your reflections and stories for family and friends. When setting up these instances, you can prioritize and weight the content accordingly. This way, the business clone won't access or share personal anecdotes, ensuring that each clone serves its unique purpose effectively. This separation helps maintain the integrity and focus of each instance, providing a more personalized and relevant experience for your different audiences. What is your ultimate goal as a communicator, and how would you like me to help you get there?

Well, thank you, tj. It's been fun learning more about how to create these digital clones. We do appreciate it. We'll be coming back to you. I'm going to ask you to keep quiet until I specifically ask you a question again. And joining us in the green room is Philip Sessions, our guest for the next hour. Looking forward to chatting with you. Philip, how are you today?

Hey, I'm great. How about you?

Fantastic. We're doing what we call our pre interview right now. So part of what we say, and it is being broadcast live on eight different social media channels. But we are going to perhaps use some of this edited for the tail end of what we put out in the final video version and the audio.

Version of the podcast.

So I always like to ask people a couple of questions here to figure out how we can make this more valuable to everyone. Your time is valuable. I appreciate your time with our audience today. You've done plenty of interviews before.

You're a podcaster yourself.

What do we need to do in this interview in the coming hour to make this especially valuable to you and your community?

That's.

That's a good question. I've never really thought about my community on somebody else's podcast. Always thought about their community.

This interview truly valuable for you?

Sorry, my clone was speaking there. I had to turn it off.

You're fine. Yeah, I never really thought about that aspect of my community on somebody on somebody else's podcast. Always thought about their community.

Well, in your community, meaning your prospects, people who may not know you, but they're searching for speaking coaching next week and they stumble across an interview. Maybe it's on your media page. What. What would make it valuable to you and your overall business?

Yeah, just be able to talk about communication and how it's impactful for you as an individual and as a leader. Really, anything around that, I know it's pretty wide open, but be able to stress the importance of that. And so if you've got any experience with that, which I'm sure you do, being a podcaster and a leader and everything, just be able to bring out stories and situations, really share about how important that is for us.

Now we'll be talking about your book, Mindset Over Motivation. We'll be doing part of our session right on Amazon Live so people can, with one click, buy the book if they hear something they like. And, and then we'll, we'll disconnect from Amazon Live. That will allow us to talk about your podcast, YouTube channel, everything else. Because Amazon only wants us talking about their products. So that's what we'll be doing. When we come up. Are there any other questions that you know, when you've done other interviews, you think, wow, I really wish someone would ask me this. And you never quite got around to it. Are there any particular questions you'd really like me to ask you that typically just don't get asked?

No, I mean, I'm always pretty open book, so a lot of that just comes up one way, shape or form. So nothing that I can think of.

Great. All right, so we're going to be right back here in two minutes. So those of you watching on YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitch X Instagram and anyplace else, you can stay right where you are. If you want to join us live on screen and ask Philip a question directly, you can do so. But it's going to be a different stream yard address. We'll be posting that. So we're going to disconnect now. Philip, you have the. The second link that was sent to you, correct? Okay. So I would ask if you could just join me there in two minutes and we'll see you in the room there. Okay, thanks.
