TJ Walker has given his AI video clone to students from his 10 million online course enrollments since 1998. He warns against launching AI products too early, having lost money for 15 years before his training business took off. Success in health and fitness AI will help normalize AI coaches for mainstream adoption.
About 10 million total enrollments.
1998.
He said he didn't make any money for 15 years (lost money for years).
That's essentially what I'm doing. What I do is I give away access to the clone to anyone who's taken one of my online courses. Right now, I have about 10 million total enrollments in my online courses. So I'm giving it away because I'm just trying to plant seeds in people's brains to let them even know this thing is. Is available. And is. Is a thing.
Yeah, that's the answer to your question, you know, sadly, is like, how do we get people to use this? Is we got to educate the market. And I always think it's dangerous for people like you and I to educate the market because we're. Well, for me, for sure. I don't want to be rude to you, but I'm just a teeny minnow in the scene. It's hard to be that person that educates the market. I want.
Well, everyone always says, oh, you want to be first, first to market? Well, not really. Most people who are first to market have gone bankrupt. That's why Facebook was the 12th major company to get venture capital funding for social media. You know, the numbers 1 through 11 all went out of business. So there is such a thing as being too early, and I was way too early with online training. I started in 1998 and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars for years. I mean, I didn't make any money on it for 15 years. So as excited as I am about these video clones, I'm really hoping it doesn't take 15 years.
I think it will take someone else coming along, one of the big players who's really going to invest in this from an AI perspective to get it out to the market. I think that's what will happen. I also think that people are going to get used to using AI coaches in other places. Health and fitness and, you know, mental health. I think that will take off perhaps quicker, and once that happens, it will then spread to what we're doing. But I'm banging the drum like you are, tj. I'm banging the drum every day saying, this is what. This is the future, and if you're not investing in this now, you're going to get left behind. And.
Well, let's hold that thought one.
