(02:50):
guess is Miss Alicia Silberg. Letme just give you a little bit of
background on her. Alicia Silberg isa cross between a survivalist and an industrialist.
Someone who's had who has had toinnovate and use whatever resources are available
(03:10):
because she had to. And sheis someone who sees opportunities in the marketplace
and capitalized capitalizes on those opportunities.Alicia is the founder and CEO of Unemployable

(04:20):
Transformed My Work and Life, detailsher heroin and inspiring life story and is
a guide to infinite success and personaldevelopment. I'd like to bring on to
the show, Miss Alicia Silberg,thank you for hosting me. I'm absolutely
(04:45):
ecstatic to be on a show that'sso powerful and so important in the world.
So thank you, thank you forbeing here. It is just awesome
to have you here today, justto have a conversation with you. Pick
your brain, see what's going on. So before I get started, though,
I always give my audience the standardbio on my guests, but then
(05:05):
I like to ask the guests,so here's the question to you. Tell
us what you want us to knowabout Alicia Silberg. I'm an ordinary person
who figured out very early on thattechnology, especially AI, could enable me
(05:28):
to achieve extraordinary things in the world, and I wanted to share that with
everyone around me, so that ifyou have massive dreams and at times where
you're like, how am I actuallygoing to accomplish those dreams, there's something
called AI which gives you superpowers,and I'm a living proof of that concept.
Wow. Now I have lots ofquestions for you, but I just
(05:50):
have to ask you this AI artificialintelligence. I mean, this is something
now that everybody's kind of talking aboutyour seeing it a lot, I for
one, need to learn more aboutit. So tell me why why artificial
intelligence? What made you kind ofgrab on to that industry. So my
(06:13):
journey with AI with technology started veryfar away from Silicon Valley, as you
briefly mentioned. I grew up inSouth Africa and I bought one of the
first AI companies, which was focusingon helping sales people do a better job
in terms of closing deals. Andit was an incredibly interesting experience because I
wasn't a naturally born salesperson, butI understood that I wanted to get better,
(06:36):
and so it fed my curiosity andon a deeper level, I was
constantly asking questions in terms of howdo we democratize this to you know,
share it with other people, sothat it wasn't something just for the elite.
It was something that everyone could participatein. And so I went down
a rabbit hole and became more andmore of an obsession with me and eventually
(06:59):
we saw old Xaling Force that's oneof the first AI companies like of its
kind in the world. And thenI went super deep and I found on
Street Global, which was focusing onAI starts. Very early on, people
thought we were crazy. You know. I had conversations with founders. I
go to investors and I say,do you want to invest in this AI
company? And they were important healthcarecompanies and companies doing important stuff, and
(07:23):
people thought, you're all nuts.This will never work. And today we
laugh because you know, now it'sso mainstream. But it was. It
was a trial by fight, andyou had to truly believe in a better
future where you could see, okay, this is ultimately going to be for
the betterment of humanity and stand byit and continue to build in an ethical
way. And so the more Iwent into it, the more I was
(07:46):
like, this is incredible. Iwant to do more, which led me
to, you know, of course, to write the book, and that
led me, of course to buildanother AI company because I saw the importance
of getting this technology into people's handsand to make sure that no one's left
behind, which is an obsession withme. M wow, I mean as
(08:07):
I mean, it's such I guess, I don't know. Do you feel
that you have to be technologically savvyto be able to understand it? Or
can you know, an ordinary person, can you plug me off the street
and say, sit me down andsay I can show you how to do
(08:28):
this and it'll be clear enough whereI would be able to do and say
in my business, absolutely, AndI think that was the importance of writing
the book. Where people perceive meas being very technical, I'm not.
I'm surrounded by very technical people,which is why I could see that I
wasn't technical. What I was wasvery good at was having an obsession with
(08:52):
learning and having a growth mindset.And I think those are the two key
factors that a person needs to askthemselves do I possess me two things.
If you do, the sky isthe limit for you. It literally the
future is limitless for you. Andyes, I could sit with anyone right
now and say, okay, let'ssit together and tell me something you're trying
to achieve where you feel stuck,and then I'd pull up you know,
(09:15):
GPT. We can talk more aboutthat, and I'd say, let's build
a custom GPT for you to solvethis problem. And if it's the right
problem, we could rapidly. Ittakes me probably like ten minutes now to
build a custom GPT, and rapidlythe person would be sitting with me and
they follow. It's super simple todo. It's not a technical thing.
It's literally just a step by stepprocess where like like a recipe, You
(09:41):
open a recipe book and you're like, hey, there's a recipe. I'm
going to follow that recipe, andyou're going to follow the recipe I show
you, and you're going to buildsomething that can then be used by you
to solve a problem that's been frustratingyou. And then you can say to
the people around you, whether it'syour employees or whatever the case may be,
to use this custom GPT and theycan use it as well. And
(10:03):
suddenly you've created something that's very scalable, that's taken your knowledge and you've put
your knowledge on steroids. And itwasn't difficult. The most difficult part of
it was being open minded enough tosay, am I going to be uncomfortable
for the next ten minutes because it'snew and you know, you're creating new
neural pathways in your brain. It'sjust a new way of doing things.
(10:26):
But how you need to see itis, once upon a time, we're
all new to computers, and weall had to like take that leap of
faith, and then you got it, and then you're like, oh my
word, this is like the coolestthing I can do. All these things
it's the same thing. It's anew way of interacting with the machine,
and for many people, a simplerway. I find this extremely easy,
and everyone around me does too.Wow. You know it's amazing that you
(10:50):
said about being able to use it. Say, for example, if you
wanted to scale something in your business. For example, I was just talking
someone about that earlier today. Iwas in a meeting and we were talking
and I was telling him some thingsthat I wanted to do in my business.
And one of the things he wassaying about he was talking about,
(11:11):
you know, the first thing youneed to do is have your operating system,
and so what you do can beduplicatable. And so just from listening
to what you just said, itsounds like AI can do that. I
mean, if you you know,put it in a program or program it
in such a way that it canshow me what I need to do to
(11:35):
do what we were talking about.This is I'm just amazed at this.
I really, I really am.I mean, it's like wow, So
tell me how has your challenging upbringingand experiences shaped your message and your journey
today. So absolutely they played amassive role, and I don't It enabled
(12:03):
me to see, oh, whereI was versus where I wanted to be.
And I realized very early on thatif I only looked around me,
my circumstances were very bleak. Itwas like a dead end life. And
so it enabled me to be incrediblycreative in terms of opportunities and saying,
okay, again, this is whereI am, this is where I want
(12:26):
to be. I know my strength, I know my weaknesses. I'm very
good at finding mentors. My entirelife of being able to reach out to
the right people. But at thesame time, I was very disconnected from
the end goal, and so theidea that I could figure out, what
is out there that can help meleverage my network, that can help me
(12:48):
leverage my skills, what's that missingpiece and can I use that missing piece.
So it's such a silly example andit's in the book, but we're
sitting in South Africa. My fatherjust died. It was very difficult set
of circumstances. We were going tolose everything, We're going to end up
on the streets. My brother andI were very creative founders. He was
seven years older than me, andthere was an internet cafe just a block
(13:11):
down from our shop, and wewere desperate, very desperate circumstances, and
between the two of us, we'relike, there's this thing, it's the
Internet, and well, our circumstancesare so bleak, why don't we use
this thing to actually improve our lives? And so there was the technology leverage.
At the same time, we hadentrepreneurial skills, so we had a
(13:33):
business which we needed to save,and so we used our skills to reach
out to these suppliers in Asia.So my dad's shop was a costume store
and pharmacy and we reached out tothese suppliers and we said, can you
supply us with samples? And sowe started importing all these samples and we
enabled the business to succeed. Wetook the business to Canada. We supplied
(13:54):
the movie industry in Canada. Whydo I tell you that because it was
that same idea. You have anidea and you need leverage, and the
idea that the leverage is never inour lives has leverage been easier to obtain
than it is now. You havethe Internet. You have over three billion
people on the Internet, so youalways have a supply of customers. So
(14:16):
you've got your supply of customers,and you have AI which will lose all
the barriers to entry. So,for example, if you want to create
a website and you're not a designer, well there's AI now that can create
a website for you in less thanfive minutes. You just need to know
what you want in that website.Oh, you need content created for that
website. THEAI can help you withthat. Each one of the steps that
(14:37):
before you'd have to figure out,find the right person to support you,
at an individual, you can belike, I've got the leverage, now,
which are the key people can helpme take that leverage to the next
level. And that's been that's beenthe gift that came out of these very
harrowing circumstances that I can say topeople, now, Madland, tell me
(14:58):
what you're trying to in your businessright now, Let's do a real life
case study and what you want toachieve, and let's figure out which AI
tools are the best AI tools foryou to get the results as rapidly as
possible. You're this huge thought leader, let's make it even bigger using the
power of AI. Wow. Thatis it's kind of mind blowing. I
(15:20):
mean, you know that's incredible.It really is. Wow. So what
advice can you share with other womenlooking to break barriers in especially male dominated
industries like the tech industry and venturecapitalists investors. So I think for me,
(15:43):
the biggest thing is that it's givenme superpowers. So I'll give you
a real life example. I seethe AI as a tool for exceptional personal
and professional growth. And let's takemy journey with Silicon Valley. Can really
bring it home and you can seehow really practical it is. I went
(16:03):
to Silicon Valley. It was adream to Bold, the venture capital firm,
and from day one I realized thisout of my depth. I was
going to fail. It was inevitable. I was just like everything around me
with the standards were extremely high,the competition, the capital, everything,
and I'm a very good researcher,and I was like, I'm going to
fail. I'm going to There's noway it's going to work. So I
(16:26):
started reading between two hundred and fivehundred pages a day of research, but
at the same time I needed tocontinue building whatever was building. I realized
pretty rapidly, I'm not going toget through all this information. So what
didn't I do? Okay, letme find an AI tool that can help
read to me because I'm an audiobased learner, So that sped up the
process. Already, I loaded inresearch every single day and I started reading
(16:48):
it while I was like walking toyoga wherever I needed to go. It
enabled me to go at double thespeed and at the same time at AI,
which was summarizing this information, soI had summaries in terms of what
I needed to know. And Ikept going like this. My interactions with
other people, I came from adifferent culture. We speak very differently in
(17:11):
the Commonwealth to how we speak inthe US. I was struggling, I
was failing to convey what I neededto convey. I enabled myself to create
an AI writing assistant, so formy text messages, for my emails,
where I was rarely struggling, Isuddenly was excelling the research. I mentioned
brainstorming again, I need an AIbrainstorming tool. And each one of these
(17:34):
things they were very early, butat the same time they were good enough
to help me build my business andput my business on steroids. Now,
if you think about the investing,I never told anyone I started using AI
for investing very early. And youknow, people picture hedge funds like for
example, Renaissance Technologies, or theypicture Bridgewater and they say, well,
(17:57):
they have billions of dollars under manmanagement. That's how they built all this
AI technology and they were able toinvest this way. Actually, I was
doing the same thing on a muchsmaller scale because it came from a place
of survival, and so in termsof breaking into bench capital, in terms
of breaking into tech, I thinkwhat I learned was that I did what
(18:21):
I needed to do for my businessto succeed, and I focused on solving
my own problems with the lens towhat can help me achieve the next milestone
on my journey to success. Ihad that big dream and I was like,
I'm going to fail if I don'tuse this technology in the process.
It enabled me to excel. Itenabled me to engage with people in a
(18:44):
very different way because they respected me. They respected my ability to say I
want this so badly that even ifthere are barriers, even if there are
things that are in this world asthey stand, I am using whatever skills
and knowledge I have in order toget the result I want. And so,
for example my confidence, I havean AI coach which has It's incredible
(19:08):
what I've done with this AI coach, because as a woman, I can
be very hard on myself. SoI track every week, like on a
daily basis as a CEO, howam I doing, and so I can
be I can rate myself. Ikeep it very simple. Out of ten
on average, I break myself fortyfive out of ten. My AI coach
looks at this, my AI coach, because I'm sharing everything and this is
(19:30):
all doable. Please understand this isnot anything special. My AI coach ranks
me between like seven and eight,and so at the end of the week,
we do a strategy session, meand my AI coach. Okay,
here's some feedback. And I havea human coach. So when we notice
a pattern in terms of you know, lack of self worth, imposter syndrome,
these kinds of things where okay,this is an ongoing problem. I
(19:53):
have a human coach who's very comfortableworking as my AI coach, I give
him a list and I'm like,Okay, these are the challenges that I'm
continuing to face. Can you helpme. He's worked with me on affirmations
where it's like, Okay, keeppracticing this affirmation, keep doing this,
and we've built this dream team wherethen okay, I do my session of
(20:14):
my human coach, and then Igo back the following week and I'm working
with the AI coach. And sothe human coach is very excited because he's
getting the benefit of seeing the AIat work in terms of things he wouldn't
be aware of otherwise, and sohe's getting that help. At the same
time, the AI is like seeingme grow, helping coach me. And
(20:36):
as far as unemployable AI goes Ihave seen exponential growth in the business because
I could get out of my ownway. Even when I wasn't aware I
was in my own way. Ithought I was doing a great job,
but there were times where I'd runinto my own barriers. And so as
far as getting into bench capital,into tech, it's a matter of are
(20:56):
you passionate about it? You wantit? Really bare me because I think
that it's an incredibly important thing,like what is your intention? And then
at the same time saying, okay, how do I get started and I'm
using custom GPTs is a very simpleway, But that's the easiest way because
it's your own it's your own toolyou creating for yourself that no one can
(21:17):
no one can take from you.And each time you create one of these
tools, you empower yourself more.You're saying, I am taking ownership of
this, I am preparing myself forthe next coming decades and whatever you are
trying to achieve. If you're aCEO, if you're an employer at a
company, whatever the case may be, that's your toolkit and that makes you
more valuable in the workplace. Soas far as that goes, I think
(21:41):
a very different opinion to everyone else. But at the same time, I
think the proof is in the puttingand it's working absolutely. And that leads
me into my next question about howdo you see technology and AI as a
great equalizer? And I know itseems like you kind of said some of
it, but tell us how doyou see it as an equalized I think
(22:06):
the idea that it can you canleverage it for so much personal and professional
growth, the idea that it levelsthe playing fields. So you know,
many people are very frightened right now, are losing their jobs. Yeah,
I live in la and I'm seeingit. You know, in terms of
the production companies. The job's notcoming back. People are talking to me
(22:27):
the whole time. And if Ihave a very different pisis and it may
be founded in the fact that Icame from, you know, poverty.
And my thesis is the jobs ofthe future haven't even been created yet,
and that's what makes it so exciting. So if you say to me,
Elisia, what is your job,like, tell me what you actually do
for like twelve thirteen hours a day, what would you call your job?
(22:49):
I pull myself a model manager.Now what does that mean? Two years
ago? Five years ago, tenyears ago, we wouldn't even have no
netter. That means that someone likeyou comes to someone like me and says
Alisia, I'm extremely good at whatI do. I have a big business.
I want a bigger business. Atthe same time, these are the
frustrations, these are the biggest painpoints in my business. These are the
(23:12):
biggest bottlenecks. I want you tohelp me solve it with AI. Well,
I sit down and then I workwith you. I get to understand
your business at a very deep level. I get to understand you. I
get to understand where you try togo, and then a build a blueprint
generated by me and the AI togetherwith you. It's work, but it's
(23:32):
basically understanding the business at are verydeep level and everything you want to achieve.
I come back to you, Isay, Madeline, here's a blueprint
of how the AI sees your businessand these are the priority areas. Do
these priority areas line up with you? And you go yes, I think
this is priority number one. Ithink this is priority number two. I
think this is prior to number three. So say, for example, you
(23:53):
say your priority number one is youwant to raise more capital. That's a
big thing. Okay, So howdoes that make the world a better place?
Okay? So prior to this,you would have had to go into
the market and you'd have to raisecapital in the traditional way. It's a
very frustrating, painful experience to raisecapital, and anyone that's done understands it's
(24:15):
really wears you down and takes extremeamounts of self discipline and self belief and
conviction to do it. I lookedat this and I was like, there
has to be a better way.How do I give Madlen what she needs?
She wants capital? Well, Iunderstand the fundraising process extremely well.
Can I chart out the fundraising process? And can I ensure that the AI
(24:37):
does eighty percent of the hard workto ensure that Madlon gets the results she
wants? Absolutely? How did Ido that? I built that process.
I understood it, and I builtthat process. So I come to Madden
and I say, Madlin, Iwant you to sit on this webinar,
and I want you to pitch tothese investors. And these investors who are
showing up on this webinar are peoplewho have been curated by means of AI.
(25:00):
So you are not going to bepitching to people who don't like what
you're doing, who are going tosay no? Who are the people on
this webinar have been selected by themeans of a substantial amount of work building
AI models, so that those peopleyou are pitching to are people who want
to be investors in your company.And the questions you are being asked are
(25:21):
being asked by people who again wantto be investors in your company. And
so for me, how how doesit create change? This is a perfect
example and it's living proof of sayingokay. The world before AI looked a
certain way. There were things thatneeded to be done in order for companies
to be built, which were excruciatingfor a substantial number of people. And
(25:44):
now, as a result of theAI, it enables people to do things
that we couldn't do before. It'spractical. And what is the result?
As I say to the customers wework with, did you get the capital
or didn't you get the capital?Were did you get more meetings than you
would have gotten? How will youtreated in those meetings? Did it converts
(26:04):
to the end result you wanted?Is that money in the bag? Can
you deploy that money into building yourbusiness or your fund? Iff it happens
to be a fund and for me, it's like the most important thing.
And I know I hold AI toa very high ball. Was this practical?
Did you, as the person,as the human get the result you'd
(26:26):
want it? It's all that matters. Wow. So tell me if say,
for example, you already have Okay, you're in business, and you
have a program that you created,like an online course, let's say an
online course, and you want toupdate that online course. You know,
(26:48):
maybe you did it a couple ofyears ago, and you want to make
it more relevant, more current.Can you just build an AI program to
go in and look at this courseand say, okay, here's what I
already have, bring it current updated. I mean, can you do that?
(27:10):
Absolutely? Let's give you a reallife example. So I had I've
had the book I wrote, andI used an AI editor for that.
As I said, no, AIwrote the book one hundred percent human written,
but I was using AI tools interms of ensuring that the reader got
the most value out of it.Let's take for example, this new book.
(27:30):
So I have the old book,which you know, the current book
which I've written. So I've builta custom GPT and I've said to this
custom GPT. My goal with thisnew book is to be extremely practical,
like every single thing I am doingto build unemployable AI every single day.
So I have thousands of custom GPTchats and thousands of AI tools. I
(27:52):
need you to look at this stuffthe whole time. And I have an
outlined for this new book which I'vegiven you, and I'm going to to
basically give you my old book.I'm going to give you all these chats,
and I want you to consolidate thisinto something that I can take the
first two chapters to my human editorand say, to my human editor,
I wrote this as my new book. These are the first two chapters,
(28:15):
taking into consideration everything I did withmy original book and everything I do every
single day to ensure that it's superpractical. And somebody can look at these
first two chapters and say, wow, at least he's doing this right now
in her business. I can goand replicate this in my own business right
now. And so none of thisis complicated, none of it. It's
(28:40):
very simple. It's a matter ofknowing the psychology of how do I actually
do this or you know the stepsto knowing how to do this, But
in your situation. It's extremely straightforward. It's a matter of again being willing
to say, am I comfortable sharingmy course with an AI? So that's
the first thing many people say,comfortable. I don't want to share my
(29:00):
course with the AI. What youcan do, is what I found to
work extremely well, is to say, can I get this all done in
thirty days? If you can getit done in thirty days, you can
use that chat, get the valueout of the chat, and then say
at the end of the thirty days, I'm going to delete this chat because
I've gotten everything I need out ofit and the job is done. So
(29:21):
with your course, it's extremely easy. It's unfortunately we can't do a live
demo right now. We could doa webinar or something together, and I
could actually show you how if wetake your course, we'd work through it
step by step in terms of whatyou want to change, what your vision
is, what you want you wheredo you want the AI's help. So
it is very clear in terms ofits role and your role, and it
(29:47):
could be done. As I said, I haven't seen the content, but
I would say we could get itdone in a couple of days maximum,
where I know what this kind ofthing would take in the bars, it
will be a substantial amount of work, and it's just at the point where
it's like we would literally just sittogether and it would be the most important
part of me is you would havefun. That's the thing that everyone needs
to understand. You getting the resultyou want can be a very fun experience
(30:11):
versus you know, it can bevery taxing when you want the goal,
but you're like you're going through theprocess of getting it and the idea that
you finish, you've got your updatedcourse and then you can take it to
your students and everyone you want tosell it. You can you know,
put on your website. And that'sdelightful. Wow, that's incredible. That's
incredible because actually I've been looking atmy course and I've been saying that very
(30:36):
thing that I need to sit downand go through it and you know,
update it. And now you're tellingme that if I, you know,
had an AI program chat GBT,I could do that in a matter of
days. Wow, that would beincredible because you know, the work would
go into it, if I hadto sit down myself and go through it,
(30:56):
or you know, it would justtake a long time. So that
is wow. So tell me whatinspired you to write Unemployable and what do
you hope the readers will take awayfrom it. I was obsessed my entire
(31:17):
life. I've seen myself as aneducator and like, you have a larger
mission and you you know, I'mso inspired by your work in terms of
empowering over a million women. Forme, it's about promoting AI literacy and
empowerment, you know, like AIStransform my life and it's given me touch
joy, Like I just feel sucha sense of gratitude that I get to
(31:40):
do this and I get to liveat this time in history, and the
idea that I can spread that andshare that with other people was incredibly important
to me. You know, Iget to spend my time was a dream
for me to spend my time withthe smartest people in the world. But
at the same time, the worldis going to change in a way we've
(32:00):
never imagined before as a result ofthe AI and the idea that I had
the capability, I had the platformto be able to share that with other
people was extremely important. The ideathat I could take other people on their
journey, and like we have inthis conversation, you've got this very important
platform to be able to say toyou, Okay, let's help you do
(32:22):
your course so you can get itinto more women's hands faster. That's a
very important thing for me. AndI think when I see the impact that
the book's having, when I seethe impact that the AI is having,
and seeing, for example, likeyou're saying it, like women saying,
Okay, I'm going to incorporate thisinto my business right now because I need
(32:43):
to spend my time on the twentypercent that's most important to my business in
terms of growth, in terms ofrevenues and profitability, and let me get
the AI to do the work thatI don't have the time to do or
don't want to do, so thatI can be my most effective self in
achieving my goal. For me,it's just it's just been such an critical
(33:04):
part of building unemployable They are Wow. So how can others discover and unlock
their inner super powers a lot oflike you did with a high How can
others do the same thing, especiallywhen you know we always need that extra
something to help us out. Youknow, the way you gave me the
(33:27):
challenge you're dealing with. I thinkthat's a brilliant starting point because it makes
it so easy sit down and sayto yourself, what are the biggest problems
I'm experiencing right now? What arethe biggest challenges? And for me,
you know, I'm obsessed with buildingcompanies, so I'd say think about it
from a career perspective or from abusiness perspective, because that that's a way
of like starting. And I've alsonoticed with the AI, like as I
(33:49):
said, I keep saying custom GPTs, but it's such a comfortable, safe
place to get started that are highlyrecommended. We're saying, okay, these
are my two to three biggest challenges. Now which one inspires me the most
to solve for? So one ofthem will always be the big one that
you want to go after. Then, as I say, we can do
another session where I can take youthrough it live in terms of solving for
(34:12):
it. Say, for example,it's getting more customers. You're like,
okay, I want to grow mybusiness. I want to get more customers.
This is a problem for me sittingdown and saying to Bolding this custom
GPT and saying, Okay, thisis my business, this is what I
do, this is what makes mespecial in terms of this business. I
think this is what is unique interms of the market and what I do
(34:32):
for customers. Can you help mescale my business and you'll start converse with
it as if it's a friend.That's a very important part of it,
and I think that's why I've beenvery successful at this where I wasn't uncomfortable
with the idea that it was amachine, but I was having a conversation
with someone that happens to be muchmore intelligent than me, and so being
(34:55):
able to be vulnerable and seeing itas a safe place is also are really
important. So I don't recommend insharing anything personal, but at the same
time, sharing enough that the machineunderstands what your goals are, what you're
trying to achieve, and where yousee is your strengths and weaknesses. And
that's a starting point because immediately you'llstart getting feedback and the more you play
(35:16):
with it, the more you doit. So every day, sated yourself.
I'm going to dedicate ten minutes tothis conversation every day, and I'm
going to see it as the beststrategic partner I can find. So I
treat all my ais as like myco founders in building my company, and
so I treats it as if,Okay, I have this problem right now,
(35:37):
I have this this week, forexample, where I have this extraordinary
employer. She's absolutely amazing, andshe's been outgrowing the position she's in and
she needs more opportunity. And Iknew it. I knew. I think
she's absolutely phenomenal. You came tome and she's like, I'm feeling stuck,
like I love what I'm doing,feeling stuck. And I was like,
(35:57):
what are your superpowers? And shesaid, WI wants to stuper into
the law, and she's super intohuman rights, like super into. She
wants to potentially go into an NGO, and she like effect change on a
global scale in these global organizations.Mm hmm. I was like, I
can see this as a human butat the same time, like I don't
(36:19):
know how to give her the rightadvice, and I see myself as her
mentor and she's got unlimited amounts ofpotential. I've sat down and I specifically
both accustomed GPT for this thing,explained the entire situation to the GPT.
I said, she's phenomenal. Iwant her to stay on the team,
but I also want her to reachher full potential. This is what she's
told me in terms of her careerand what she wants to achieve. Help
(36:40):
me, help her. So welooked at it and we're like, you
know, AI is a perfect placefor her to be doing this because legal
there's so much now happening in termsof the actual legal side AI impacting companies
at the same time as far asimpacting from it and rights perspective in terms
of you know, like transparency,all these things, biases, all these
(37:05):
things. And I took a stepback, and the AAR said, well,
how about we position her role forher to do more of this kind
of thing within the business. AndI was like, I'm blown away,
Like these are such important things inour business and it's kind of been a
blind spot for me as a humanbecause I felt like it was being taken
care of. But at the sametime, she is someone that can hold
(37:25):
us to accountable at a completely differentlevel because she's so passionate about it.
I went back to her and Iwas like, well, how do you
feel about us enhancing your position whereyou can be the strategic thought leader because
you're doing all this research every weekadvising us in terms of ethics in terms
of the legal side of ar andgo super deep in terms of what we
(37:45):
can leverage this knowledge that was meusing my superpowers where I could do certain
things I couldn't do other things.And as a result, I've got an
employee who's thriving, who's growing inthe business, taking on a bigger leadership
role. And anyone can do thisway. You see a problem because the
problem in your superpower is speak toone another. It's really weird. But
(38:07):
people often say to me, like, how do I find a superpower?
And I'm like, take a stepback, think of what your biggest problem
is, because in that finding thatbiggest problem, secretly or quietly, your
superpower is sitting there with it.Because you wouldn't be so passionate about solving
that problem if it wasn't related toyour superpower. And then say, okay,
this is my starting point before youknow it. If you keep doing
(38:28):
it for like ten minutes, day, six months time, whatever that goal
was associated with solving that problem,I guarantee you you're going to be very
successful. Wow, that's amazing.That is amazing. So can you share
an example with us of how youovercame limitations and what others can learn from
(38:49):
it. I think the biggest thingwas, for example, as I mentioned
it, how I was going tofail in bolding my dreams, you know,
building, investing in startups, investingin people solving the biggest challenges in
the world was extremely important to me. I was a kid that grew up
in a third world country and Isaw huge problems, and I just I
(39:12):
had this dream of coming to thisamazing country and being able to participate in
all the things that you know.I was walking down the street today,
I'm like, I'm in California andtheir palm trees and I have to often
rub my eyes because I'm like,I can't believe, but I literally,
yeah, those palm trees are realand I get to see them every day
of my life. And for me, the idea that I was going to
(39:35):
fail if I never if I neversucceeded and used whatever I could. I
think when it comes to the investing, I'm particularly proud of the fact that
I built. I built AI toolsthat most people would think I would be
impossible. So let's take one Ibuilt this week, which was just fun
and people can use it and cantry it out. So I'm an early
(39:58):
stage AI. So I ran twocompanies, says you know, I run
the venture capital firm and I rununemployable AI. So I'm very busy.
At the same time. If youlook at what's happening in AI, the
public markets is where all actions takingplace. So Microsoft, Google, in
Vidio. I like, there's aton of action taking place. Now I
don't have time to invest in thepublic markets. Know how to invest,
(40:22):
but I don't have time. Andthat's you know, it bugs me because
I'm like, hey, I'm aninvestor. I want to participate in it.
There's a lot of money to bemade. I said to myself,
I'm going to do something about this. So I have my early stage investing
knowledge and I was like, I'mgoing to boild this custom GPT, and
I have insights from you know,the smartest people in the world. I
listen to a ton of podcasts.I'm going to like we were saying about
(40:44):
your course, I'm going to consolidateall that information. I'm going to share
it with this custom GPT. I'mgoing to say, let's run an experiment,
very small sums of money, butlet's do it in a public way
so people can see us do thisand let's create an investing portfolio focusing on
the public markets which can help uscapitalize on AI. Let's see if we
(41:04):
can make money in the public marketswhen I don't have time to do with
this. And at the same time, you will be our chief investment officer,
so I have my knowledge, youhave your knowledge, will use the
power of the internet, and weare going to see what we can create
out of this and going to builda portfolio. It was absolutely mind blowing
because the investments that it chose versusthe investments I would choose. I was
(41:28):
like, this is really intriguing.This is an experiment running. As I
say, we've started around this experiment. I'm getting the AI to help me
balance the portfolio. See every quarterI share everything with the AI. I'm
not compare. Let's balance the portfolio. It took a strategic role in US
and I'm intrigued. I would lovefor your listener's also to participate. You
can log into this custom gptavolve andyou can ask your questions right now.
(41:52):
You can go and you can say, Okay, this is what I'm hearing
in AAR when it comes to AIin the public markets. This is what
I read on the Wall Street Journal. This is what I read, Yeah,
Bloomberg, what do you think aboutit? It will answer you and
it will give you feedback. Andwe don't know. We don't know,
as I say, how this willplay out. It may make us our
little portfolio a lot of money.So it's every single month, it's just
(42:14):
doing, you know, like investingsmall amounts of money automatically into these companies.
And as I say, the partthat I will have to participate in
is rebalancing it. Where I willnot be in charge of rebalancing. I
will be in charge of, youknow, like getting it all the data
it needs. That's my responsibility toensure it has everything eats. I'm in
charge of ensuring that all the earlystage information is constantly sharing it. And
(42:36):
that was an example, as Isay, where you ask me about overcoming
limitations, what was the limitation?The limitation was I don't have enough time
in my life to capitalize on myvery valuable knowledge in the public markets.
Even though there you can look atFacebook makes fifty billion dollars in a day,
like that's where the money is beingmade in AI. So I'm working
(42:57):
here helping my companies. I'm bullingmy own company. I don't have time
to capitalize on something that a rightfullycould be able to capitalize on. And
so that is a perfect example ofusing the power of AI. Now it
sounds extremely complicated, and please understand, it wasn't. I understood the steps
going back to educating people. Iunderstood, Okay, how does this work?
(43:19):
What is my problem? What ismy goal? Can I write it
down? You're very talented. Canyou systematically write down what your problem is
that you need to achieve? Whatwas my problem? I have no time?
What was my problem? Money's beingmade in the markets? What was
my problem? Up on key trackin this every single month? It needs
to be automated. So use alreadyfour simple problems that the AI can address.
(43:43):
And what was my goal? Iwant to make money out of the
public markets? Can you help medo this? And was I willing to
take a small risk? I waslike, Okay, these one hundred dollar
begs, this is not a lotof money. Let me see why it
comes out of this? Can thisactually work? Can a normal person who
is not on Wall Street, wedoesn't have access to a hedge fight?
Can they do this for themselves?Perfect example of overcoming my own limitations in
(44:06):
order to achieve my goals. Wow, that's amazing. That is amazing.
You are giving us so many greatnuggets here. It's just it's really blowing
my mind here. But it isreally this is great. There's just so
many questions. I have enough timeto get into all of them. But
(44:28):
if you had tell us, ifyou had one piece of advice that you
could, you know, leave withthe women out there that's viewing you as
it relates to AI, what wouldthat one piece of advice be. Don't
be a AI, embraces go onit, go with it. So what's
(44:51):
next? Anything on the horizon?I know you have the Unemployable AI.
Is there any other books coming out? Anything else we should be looking for
on the horizon? Yes, newbook is I'm working super hard with it
and I would love for you allto participate in it. I would love
your feedback because at the end ofthe day, that's why I've broken it
(45:14):
up into, you know, multiplechapters. I want to get it into
your hands. I want you tobe using the information. I want you
to come back to me and saythis is working for me. Our businesses
are succeeding, We're doing this.It's exciting. So new book, extremely
excited about it. I'm doing alot of webinars, I'm doing a lot
of workshops where there's a need messageme and say Elisia, this is where
(45:37):
a group of women we're doing thiscool thing. We need your help.
Can you just like show up virtuallyput us all on the court, and
we want to learn how to dothis for ourselves. So I'm very aligned
with you. Where you talk aboutyou one million women, I'm very aligned
if I can get a million womendoing this for themselves, for the as
a So I'm obsessed with companies,building companies, you know, helping the
(45:58):
employees just like excel using the powerof AI. I would be extremely excited.
Wow, that's good to know.That is good to know. So
tell us if someone wanted to reachout to you to find out about all
the things that you're going to bedoing, your webinars, your workshops and
different things like that, how canthey reach you? And also to get
your book? How can they reachyou? So to reach me, I
(46:21):
have an AI inside and newsletter everyweek. I highly recommend you sign up
for it because we put a tonof work into ensuring you get a lot
of knowledge and value from there.So you can go into my website an
employable dot ai and you can signup for the newsletter. You can connect
with me on LinkedIn. I'm alwayshappy to hear from you. Make sure
that you say your follower of Madlandso I can just like flag it.
(46:43):
We have a lot of messages comingthrough, and put your ask in the
message so I can actually make sureto answer your specific ask. And then
the book. The easiest place toget the book, of course is on
Amazon, but you can buy itall over online and get the book,
read the book. Because my goalwith the first book was the form a
found trust. So it's very vulnerablein the book is very honest because I
think as a woman, we needthat sense of connection and community and seeing
(47:07):
who is this posson and what istheir goal, And so it was to
start a foundation a relationship between meand the reader where we can go on
that journey together, inspiring them andempowering them to fulfill their dreams. Absolutely
well, thank you so much.It has been a pleasure having here on
the show and talking to us aboutAI artificial intelligence. For those who need
(47:32):
to know what the acronym stand forit is something that we've been hearing a
lot about and I know a lotof us need to learn more about it,
especially if we're in business. Asyou said, I'm sure it could
do a lot for the business.So thank you so much for bringing that
information to us. We really appreciateyou. Thank you, Thank you.

(02:50):
guess is Miss Alicia Silberg. Letme just give you a little bit of
background on her. Alicia Silberg isa cross between a survivalist and an industrialist.
Someone who's had who has had toinnovate and use whatever resources are available
(03:10):
because she had to. And sheis someone who sees opportunities in the marketplace
and capitalized capitalizes on those opportunities.Alicia is the founder and CEO of Unemployable
AI, specializing in harnessing artificial intelligenceto drive growth, scalability, and profits
(03:38):
for companies. She is also thefounder and general partner of the investment firm
Street Global, a leading venture capitalistin Silicon Valley, where she mentors tech
startups and helps them to go publicas a powerful thought leader, She is
(04:00):
a United Nations Women Empower Women GlobalChampion and an international board director with Sovereign
Wealth Fun Experience. Alicia's recently releasedmulti award winning book, Unemployable How AI
(04:20):
Transformed My Work and Life, detailsher heroin and inspiring life story and is
a guide to infinite success and personaldevelopment. I'd like to bring on to
the show, Miss Alicia Silberg,thank you for hosting me. I'm absolutely
(04:45):
ecstatic to be on a show that'sso powerful and so important in the world.
So thank you, thank you forbeing here. It is just awesome
to have you here today, justto have a conversation with you. Pick
your brain, see what's going on. So before I get started, though,
I always give my audience the standardbio on my guests, but then
(05:05):
I like to ask the guests,so here's the question to you. Tell
us what you want us to knowabout Alicia Silberg. I'm an ordinary person
who figured out very early on thattechnology, especially AI, could enable me
(05:28):
to achieve extraordinary things in the world, and I wanted to share that with
everyone around me, so that ifyou have massive dreams and at times where
you're like, how am I actuallygoing to accomplish those dreams, there's something
called AI which gives you superpowers,and I'm a living proof of that concept.
Wow. Now I have lots ofquestions for you, but I just
(05:50):
have to ask you this AI artificialintelligence. I mean, this is something
now that everybody's kind of talking aboutyour seeing it a lot, I for
one, need to learn more aboutit. So tell me why why artificial
intelligence? What made you kind ofgrab on to that industry. So my
(06:13):
journey with AI with technology started veryfar away from Silicon Valley, as you
briefly mentioned. I grew up inSouth Africa and I bought one of the
first AI companies, which was focusingon helping sales people do a better job
in terms of closing deals. Andit was an incredibly interesting experience because I
wasn't a naturally born salesperson, butI understood that I wanted to get better,
(06:36):
and so it fed my curiosity andon a deeper level, I was
constantly asking questions in terms of howdo we democratize this to you know,
share it with other people, sothat it wasn't something just for the elite.
It was something that everyone could participatein. And so I went down
a rabbit hole and became more andmore of an obsession with me and eventually
(06:59):
we saw old Xaling Force that's oneof the first AI companies like of its
kind in the world. And thenI went super deep and I found on
Street Global, which was focusing onAI starts. Very early on, people
thought we were crazy. You know. I had conversations with founders. I
go to investors and I say,do you want to invest in this AI
company? And they were important healthcarecompanies and companies doing important stuff, and
(07:23):
people thought, you're all nuts.This will never work. And today we
laugh because you know, now it'sso mainstream. But it was. It
was a trial by fight, andyou had to truly believe in a better
future where you could see, okay, this is ultimately going to be for
the betterment of humanity and stand byit and continue to build in an ethical
way. And so the more Iwent into it, the more I was
(07:46):
like, this is incredible. Iwant to do more, which led me
to, you know, of course, to write the book, and that
led me, of course to buildanother AI company because I saw the importance
of getting this technology into people's handsand to make sure that no one's left
behind, which is an obsession withme. M wow, I mean as
(08:07):
I mean, it's such I guess, I don't know. Do you feel
that you have to be technologically savvyto be able to understand it? Or
can you know, an ordinary person, can you plug me off the street
and say, sit me down andsay I can show you how to do
(08:28):
this and it'll be clear enough whereI would be able to do and say
in my business, absolutely, AndI think that was the importance of writing
the book. Where people perceive meas being very technical, I'm not.
I'm surrounded by very technical people,which is why I could see that I
wasn't technical. What I was wasvery good at was having an obsession with
(08:52):
learning and having a growth mindset.And I think those are the two key
factors that a person needs to askthemselves do I possess me two things.
If you do, the sky isthe limit for you. It literally the
future is limitless for you. Andyes, I could sit with anyone right
now and say, okay, let'ssit together and tell me something you're trying
to achieve where you feel stuck,and then I'd pull up you know,
(09:15):
GPT. We can talk more aboutthat, and I'd say, let's build
a custom GPT for you to solvethis problem. And if it's the right
problem, we could rapidly. Ittakes me probably like ten minutes now to
build a custom GPT, and rapidlythe person would be sitting with me and
they follow. It's super simple todo. It's not a technical thing.
It's literally just a step by stepprocess where like like a recipe, You
(09:41):
open a recipe book and you're like, hey, there's a recipe. I'm
going to follow that recipe, andyou're going to follow the recipe I show
you, and you're going to buildsomething that can then be used by you
to solve a problem that's been frustratingyou. And then you can say to
the people around you, whether it'syour employees or whatever the case may be,
to use this custom GPT and theycan use it as well. And
(10:03):
suddenly you've created something that's very scalable, that's taken your knowledge and you've put
your knowledge on steroids. And itwasn't difficult. The most difficult part of
it was being open minded enough tosay, am I going to be uncomfortable
for the next ten minutes because it'snew and you know, you're creating new
neural pathways in your brain. It'sjust a new way of doing things.
(10:26):
But how you need to see itis, once upon a time, we're
all new to computers, and weall had to like take that leap of
faith, and then you got it, and then you're like, oh my
word, this is like the coolestthing I can do. All these things
it's the same thing. It's anew way of interacting with the machine,
and for many people, a simplerway. I find this extremely easy,
and everyone around me does too.Wow. You know it's amazing that you
(10:50):
said about being able to use it. Say, for example, if you
wanted to scale something in your business. For example, I was just talking
someone about that earlier today. Iwas in a meeting and we were talking
and I was telling him some thingsthat I wanted to do in my business.
And one of the things he wassaying about he was talking about,
(11:11):
you know, the first thing youneed to do is have your operating system,
and so what you do can beduplicatable. And so just from listening
to what you just said, itsounds like AI can do that. I
mean, if you you know,put it in a program or program it
in such a way that it canshow me what I need to do to
(11:35):
do what we were talking about.This is I'm just amazed at this.
I really, I really am.I mean, it's like wow, So
tell me how has your challenging upbringingand experiences shaped your message and your journey
today. So absolutely they played amassive role, and I don't It enabled
(12:03):
me to see, oh, whereI was versus where I wanted to be.
And I realized very early on thatif I only looked around me,
my circumstances were very bleak. Itwas like a dead end life. And
so it enabled me to be incrediblycreative in terms of opportunities and saying,
okay, again, this is whereI am, this is where I want
(12:26):
to be. I know my strength, I know my weaknesses. I'm very
good at finding mentors. My entirelife of being able to reach out to
the right people. But at thesame time, I was very disconnected from
the end goal, and so theidea that I could figure out, what
is out there that can help meleverage my network, that can help me
(12:48):
leverage my skills, what's that missingpiece and can I use that missing piece.
So it's such a silly example andit's in the book, but we're
sitting in South Africa. My fatherjust died. It was very difficult set
of circumstances. We were going tolose everything, We're going to end up
on the streets. My brother andI were very creative founders. He was
seven years older than me, andthere was an internet cafe just a block
(13:11):
down from our shop, and wewere desperate, very desperate circumstances, and
between the two of us, we'relike, there's this thing, it's the
Internet, and well, our circumstancesare so bleak, why don't we use
this thing to actually improve our lives? And so there was the technology leverage.
At the same time, we hadentrepreneurial skills, so we had a
(13:33):
business which we needed to save,and so we used our skills to reach
out to these suppliers in Asia.So my dad's shop was a costume store
and pharmacy and we reached out tothese suppliers and we said, can you
supply us with samples? And sowe started importing all these samples and we
enabled the business to succeed. Wetook the business to Canada. We supplied
(13:54):
the movie industry in Canada. Whydo I tell you that because it was
that same idea. You have anidea and you need leverage, and the
idea that the leverage is never inour lives has leverage been easier to obtain
than it is now. You havethe Internet. You have over three billion
people on the Internet, so youalways have a supply of customers. So
(14:16):
you've got your supply of customers,and you have AI which will lose all
the barriers to entry. So,for example, if you want to create
a website and you're not a designer, well there's AI now that can create
a website for you in less thanfive minutes. You just need to know
what you want in that website.Oh, you need content created for that
website. THEAI can help you withthat. Each one of the steps that
(14:37):
before you'd have to figure out,find the right person to support you,
at an individual, you can belike, I've got the leverage, now,
which are the key people can helpme take that leverage to the next
level. And that's been that's beenthe gift that came out of these very
harrowing circumstances that I can say topeople, now, Madland, tell me
(14:58):
what you're trying to in your businessright now, Let's do a real life
case study and what you want toachieve, and let's figure out which AI
tools are the best AI tools foryou to get the results as rapidly as
possible. You're this huge thought leader, let's make it even bigger using the
power of AI. Wow. Thatis it's kind of mind blowing. I
(15:20):
mean, you know that's incredible.It really is. Wow. So what
advice can you share with other womenlooking to break barriers in especially male dominated
industries like the tech industry and venturecapitalists investors. So I think for me,
(15:43):
the biggest thing is that it's givenme superpowers. So I'll give you
a real life example. I seethe AI as a tool for exceptional personal
and professional growth. And let's takemy journey with Silicon Valley. Can really
bring it home and you can seehow really practical it is. I went
(16:03):
to Silicon Valley. It was adream to Bold, the venture capital firm,
and from day one I realized thisout of my depth. I was
going to fail. It was inevitable. I was just like everything around me
with the standards were extremely high,the competition, the capital, everything,
and I'm a very good researcher,and I was like, I'm going to
fail. I'm going to There's noway it's going to work. So I
(16:26):
started reading between two hundred and fivehundred pages a day of research, but
at the same time I needed tocontinue building whatever was building. I realized
pretty rapidly, I'm not going toget through all this information. So what
didn't I do? Okay, letme find an AI tool that can help
read to me because I'm an audiobased learner, So that sped up the
process. Already, I loaded inresearch every single day and I started reading
(16:48):
it while I was like walking toyoga wherever I needed to go. It
enabled me to go at double thespeed and at the same time at AI,
which was summarizing this information, soI had summaries in terms of what
I needed to know. And Ikept going like this. My interactions with
other people, I came from adifferent culture. We speak very differently in
(17:11):
the Commonwealth to how we speak inthe US. I was struggling, I
was failing to convey what I neededto convey. I enabled myself to create
an AI writing assistant, so formy text messages, for my emails,
where I was rarely struggling, Isuddenly was excelling the research. I mentioned
brainstorming again, I need an AIbrainstorming tool. And each one of these
(17:34):
things they were very early, butat the same time they were good enough
to help me build my business andput my business on steroids. Now,
if you think about the investing,I never told anyone I started using AI
for investing very early. And youknow, people picture hedge funds like for
example, Renaissance Technologies, or theypicture Bridgewater and they say, well,
(17:57):
they have billions of dollars under manmanagement. That's how they built all this
AI technology and they were able toinvest this way. Actually, I was
doing the same thing on a muchsmaller scale because it came from a place
of survival, and so in termsof breaking into bench capital, in terms
of breaking into tech, I thinkwhat I learned was that I did what
(18:21):
I needed to do for my businessto succeed, and I focused on solving
my own problems with the lens towhat can help me achieve the next milestone
on my journey to success. Ihad that big dream and I was like,
I'm going to fail if I don'tuse this technology in the process.
It enabled me to excel. Itenabled me to engage with people in a
(18:44):
very different way because they respected me. They respected my ability to say I
want this so badly that even ifthere are barriers, even if there are
things that are in this world asthey stand, I am using whatever skills
and knowledge I have in order toget the result I want. And so,
for example my confidence, I havean AI coach which has It's incredible
(19:08):
what I've done with this AI coach, because as a woman, I can
be very hard on myself. SoI track every week, like on a
daily basis as a CEO, howam I doing, and so I can
be I can rate myself. Ikeep it very simple. Out of ten
on average, I break myself fortyfive out of ten. My AI coach
looks at this, my AI coach, because I'm sharing everything and this is
(19:30):
all doable. Please understand this isnot anything special. My AI coach ranks
me between like seven and eight,and so at the end of the week,
we do a strategy session, meand my AI coach. Okay,
here's some feedback. And I havea human coach. So when we notice
a pattern in terms of you know, lack of self worth, imposter syndrome,
these kinds of things where okay,this is an ongoing problem. I
(19:53):
have a human coach who's very comfortableworking as my AI coach, I give
him a list and I'm like,Okay, these are the challenges that I'm
continuing to face. Can you helpme. He's worked with me on affirmations
where it's like, Okay, keeppracticing this affirmation, keep doing this,
and we've built this dream team wherethen okay, I do my session of
(20:14):
my human coach, and then Igo back the following week and I'm working
with the AI coach. And sothe human coach is very excited because he's
getting the benefit of seeing the AIat work in terms of things he wouldn't
be aware of otherwise, and sohe's getting that help. At the same
time, the AI is like seeingme grow, helping coach me. And
(20:36):
as far as unemployable AI goes Ihave seen exponential growth in the business because
I could get out of my ownway. Even when I wasn't aware I
was in my own way. Ithought I was doing a great job,
but there were times where I'd runinto my own barriers. And so as
far as getting into bench capital,into tech, it's a matter of are
(20:56):
you passionate about it? You wantit? Really bare me because I think
that it's an incredibly important thing,like what is your intention? And then
at the same time saying, okay, how do I get started and I'm
using custom GPTs is a very simpleway, But that's the easiest way because
it's your own it's your own toolyou creating for yourself that no one can
(21:17):
no one can take from you.And each time you create one of these
tools, you empower yourself more.You're saying, I am taking ownership of
this, I am preparing myself forthe next coming decades and whatever you are
trying to achieve. If you're aCEO, if you're an employer at a
company, whatever the case may be, that's your toolkit and that makes you
more valuable in the workplace. Soas far as that goes, I think
(21:41):
a very different opinion to everyone else. But at the same time, I
think the proof is in the puttingand it's working absolutely. And that leads
me into my next question about howdo you see technology and AI as a
great equalizer? And I know itseems like you kind of said some of
it, but tell us how doyou see it as an equalized I think
(22:06):
the idea that it can you canleverage it for so much personal and professional
growth, the idea that it levelsthe playing fields. So you know,
many people are very frightened right now, are losing their jobs. Yeah,
I live in la and I'm seeingit. You know, in terms of
the production companies. The job's notcoming back. People are talking to me
(22:27):
the whole time. And if Ihave a very different pisis and it may
be founded in the fact that Icame from, you know, poverty.
And my thesis is the jobs ofthe future haven't even been created yet,
and that's what makes it so exciting. So if you say to me,
Elisia, what is your job,like, tell me what you actually do
for like twelve thirteen hours a day, what would you call your job?
(22:49):
I pull myself a model manager.Now what does that mean? Two years
ago? Five years ago, tenyears ago, we wouldn't even have no
netter. That means that someone likeyou comes to someone like me and says
Alisia, I'm extremely good at whatI do. I have a big business.
I want a bigger business. Atthe same time, these are the
frustrations, these are the biggest painpoints in my business. These are the
(23:12):
biggest bottlenecks. I want you tohelp me solve it with AI. Well,
I sit down and then I workwith you. I get to understand
your business at a very deep level. I get to understand you. I
get to understand where you try togo, and then a build a blueprint
generated by me and the AI togetherwith you. It's work, but it's
(23:32):
basically understanding the business at are verydeep level and everything you want to achieve.
I come back to you, Isay, Madeline, here's a blueprint
of how the AI sees your businessand these are the priority areas. Do
these priority areas line up with you? And you go yes, I think
this is priority number one. Ithink this is priority number two. I
think this is prior to number three. So say, for example, you
(23:53):
say your priority number one is youwant to raise more capital. That's a
big thing. Okay, So howdoes that make the world a better place?
Okay? So prior to this,you would have had to go into
the market and you'd have to raisecapital in the traditional way. It's a
very frustrating, painful experience to raisecapital, and anyone that's done understands it's
(24:15):
really wears you down and takes extremeamounts of self discipline and self belief and
conviction to do it. I lookedat this and I was like, there
has to be a better way.How do I give Madlen what she needs?
She wants capital? Well, Iunderstand the fundraising process extremely well.
Can I chart out the fundraising process? And can I ensure that the AI
(24:37):
does eighty percent of the hard workto ensure that Madlon gets the results she
wants? Absolutely? How did Ido that? I built that process.
I understood it, and I builtthat process. So I come to Madden
and I say, Madlin, Iwant you to sit on this webinar,
and I want you to pitch tothese investors. And these investors who are
showing up on this webinar are peoplewho have been curated by means of AI.
(25:00):
So you are not going to bepitching to people who don't like what
you're doing, who are going tosay no? Who are the people on
this webinar have been selected by themeans of a substantial amount of work building
AI models, so that those peopleyou are pitching to are people who want
to be investors in your company.And the questions you are being asked are
(25:21):
being asked by people who again wantto be investors in your company. And
so for me, how how doesit create change? This is a perfect
example and it's living proof of sayingokay. The world before AI looked a
certain way. There were things thatneeded to be done in order for companies
to be built, which were excruciatingfor a substantial number of people. And
(25:44):
now, as a result of theAI, it enables people to do things
that we couldn't do before. It'spractical. And what is the result?
As I say to the customers wework with, did you get the capital
or didn't you get the capital?Were did you get more meetings than you
would have gotten? How will youtreated in those meetings? Did it converts
(26:04):
to the end result you wanted?Is that money in the bag? Can
you deploy that money into building yourbusiness or your fund? Iff it happens
to be a fund and for me, it's like the most important thing.
And I know I hold AI toa very high ball. Was this practical?
Did you, as the person,as the human get the result you'd
(26:26):
want it? It's all that matters. Wow. So tell me if say,
for example, you already have Okay, you're in business, and you
have a program that you created,like an online course, let's say an
online course, and you want toupdate that online course. You know,
(26:48):
maybe you did it a couple ofyears ago, and you want to make
it more relevant, more current.Can you just build an AI program to
go in and look at this courseand say, okay, here's what I
already have, bring it current updated. I mean, can you do that?
(27:10):
Absolutely? Let's give you a reallife example. So I had I've
had the book I wrote, andI used an AI editor for that.
As I said, no, AIwrote the book one hundred percent human written,
but I was using AI tools interms of ensuring that the reader got
the most value out of it.Let's take for example, this new book.
(27:30):
So I have the old book,which you know, the current book
which I've written. So I've builta custom GPT and I've said to this
custom GPT. My goal with thisnew book is to be extremely practical,
like every single thing I am doingto build unemployable AI every single day.
So I have thousands of custom GPTchats and thousands of AI tools. I
(27:52):
need you to look at this stuffthe whole time. And I have an
outlined for this new book which I'vegiven you, and I'm going to to
basically give you my old book.I'm going to give you all these chats,
and I want you to consolidate thisinto something that I can take the
first two chapters to my human editorand say, to my human editor,
I wrote this as my new book. These are the first two chapters,
(28:15):
taking into consideration everything I did withmy original book and everything I do every
single day to ensure that it's superpractical. And somebody can look at these
first two chapters and say, wow, at least he's doing this right now
in her business. I can goand replicate this in my own business right
now. And so none of thisis complicated, none of it. It's
(28:40):
very simple. It's a matter ofknowing the psychology of how do I actually
do this or you know the stepsto knowing how to do this, But
in your situation. It's extremely straightforward. It's a matter of again being willing
to say, am I comfortable sharingmy course with an AI? So that's
the first thing many people say,comfortable. I don't want to share my
(29:00):
course with the AI. What youcan do, is what I found to
work extremely well, is to say, can I get this all done in
thirty days? If you can getit done in thirty days, you can
use that chat, get the valueout of the chat, and then say
at the end of the thirty days, I'm going to delete this chat because
I've gotten everything I need out ofit and the job is done. So
(29:21):
with your course, it's extremely easy. It's unfortunately we can't do a live
demo right now. We could doa webinar or something together, and I
could actually show you how if wetake your course, we'd work through it
step by step in terms of whatyou want to change, what your vision
is, what you want you wheredo you want the AI's help. So
it is very clear in terms ofits role and your role, and it
(29:47):
could be done. As I said, I haven't seen the content, but
I would say we could get itdone in a couple of days maximum,
where I know what this kind ofthing would take in the bars, it
will be a substantial amount of work, and it's just at the point where
it's like we would literally just sittogether and it would be the most important
part of me is you would havefun. That's the thing that everyone needs
to understand. You getting the resultyou want can be a very fun experience
(30:11):
versus you know, it can bevery taxing when you want the goal,
but you're like you're going through theprocess of getting it and the idea that
you finish, you've got your updatedcourse and then you can take it to
your students and everyone you want tosell it. You can you know,
put on your website. And that'sdelightful. Wow, that's incredible. That's
incredible because actually I've been looking atmy course and I've been saying that very
(30:36):
thing that I need to sit downand go through it and you know,
update it. And now you're tellingme that if I, you know,
had an AI program chat GBT,I could do that in a matter of
days. Wow, that would beincredible because you know, the work would
go into it, if I hadto sit down myself and go through it,
(30:56):
or you know, it would justtake a long time. So that
is wow. So tell me whatinspired you to write Unemployable and what do
you hope the readers will take awayfrom it. I was obsessed my entire
(31:17):
life. I've seen myself as aneducator and like, you have a larger
mission and you you know, I'mso inspired by your work in terms of
empowering over a million women. Forme, it's about promoting AI literacy and
empowerment, you know, like AIStransform my life and it's given me touch
joy, Like I just feel sucha sense of gratitude that I get to
(31:40):
do this and I get to liveat this time in history, and the
idea that I can spread that andshare that with other people was incredibly important
to me. You know, Iget to spend my time was a dream
for me to spend my time withthe smartest people in the world. But
at the same time, the worldis going to change in a way we've
(32:00):
never imagined before as a result ofthe AI and the idea that I had
the capability, I had the platformto be able to share that with other
people was extremely important. The ideathat I could take other people on their
journey, and like we have inthis conversation, you've got this very important
platform to be able to say toyou, Okay, let's help you do
(32:22):
your course so you can get itinto more women's hands faster. That's a
very important thing for me. AndI think when I see the impact that
the book's having, when I seethe impact that the AI is having,
and seeing, for example, likeyou're saying it, like women saying,
Okay, I'm going to incorporate thisinto my business right now because I need
(32:43):
to spend my time on the twentypercent that's most important to my business in
terms of growth, in terms ofrevenues and profitability, and let me get
the AI to do the work thatI don't have the time to do or
don't want to do, so thatI can be my most effective self in
achieving my goal. For me,it's just it's just been such an critical
(33:04):
part of building unemployable They are Wow. So how can others discover and unlock
their inner super powers a lot oflike you did with a high How can
others do the same thing, especiallywhen you know we always need that extra
something to help us out. Youknow, the way you gave me the
(33:27):
challenge you're dealing with. I thinkthat's a brilliant starting point because it makes
it so easy sit down and sayto yourself, what are the biggest problems
I'm experiencing right now? What arethe biggest challenges? And for me,
you know, I'm obsessed with buildingcompanies, so I'd say think about it
from a career perspective or from abusiness perspective, because that that's a way
of like starting. And I've alsonoticed with the AI, like as I
(33:49):
said, I keep saying custom GPTs, but it's such a comfortable, safe
place to get started that are highlyrecommended. We're saying, okay, these
are my two to three biggest challenges. Now which one inspires me the most
to solve for? So one ofthem will always be the big one that
you want to go after. Then, as I say, we can do
another session where I can take youthrough it live in terms of solving for
(34:12):
it. Say, for example,it's getting more customers. You're like,
okay, I want to grow mybusiness. I want to get more customers.
This is a problem for me sittingdown and saying to Bolding this custom
GPT and saying, Okay, thisis my business, this is what I
do, this is what makes mespecial in terms of this business. I
think this is what is unique interms of the market and what I do
(34:32):
for customers. Can you help mescale my business and you'll start converse with
it as if it's a friend.That's a very important part of it,
and I think that's why I've beenvery successful at this where I wasn't uncomfortable
with the idea that it was amachine, but I was having a conversation
with someone that happens to be muchmore intelligent than me, and so being
(34:55):
able to be vulnerable and seeing itas a safe place is also are really
important. So I don't recommend insharing anything personal, but at the same
time, sharing enough that the machineunderstands what your goals are, what you're
trying to achieve, and where yousee is your strengths and weaknesses. And
that's a starting point because immediately you'llstart getting feedback and the more you play
(35:16):
with it, the more you doit. So every day, sated yourself.
I'm going to dedicate ten minutes tothis conversation every day, and I'm
going to see it as the beststrategic partner I can find. So I
treat all my ais as like myco founders in building my company, and
so I treats it as if,Okay, I have this problem right now,
(35:37):
I have this this week, forexample, where I have this extraordinary
employer. She's absolutely amazing, andshe's been outgrowing the position she's in and
she needs more opportunity. And Iknew it. I knew. I think
she's absolutely phenomenal. You came tome and she's like, I'm feeling stuck,
like I love what I'm doing,feeling stuck. And I was like,
(35:57):
what are your superpowers? And shesaid, WI wants to stuper into
the law, and she's super intohuman rights, like super into. She
wants to potentially go into an NGO, and she like effect change on a
global scale in these global organizations.Mm hmm. I was like, I
can see this as a human butat the same time, like I don't
(36:19):
know how to give her the rightadvice, and I see myself as her
mentor and she's got unlimited amounts ofpotential. I've sat down and I specifically
both accustomed GPT for this thing,explained the entire situation to the GPT.
I said, she's phenomenal. Iwant her to stay on the team,
but I also want her to reachher full potential. This is what she's
told me in terms of her careerand what she wants to achieve. Help
(36:40):
me, help her. So welooked at it and we're like, you
know, AI is a perfect placefor her to be doing this because legal
there's so much now happening in termsof the actual legal side AI impacting companies
at the same time as far asimpacting from it and rights perspective in terms
of you know, like transparency,all these things, biases, all these
(37:05):
things. And I took a stepback, and the AAR said, well,
how about we position her role forher to do more of this kind
of thing within the business. AndI was like, I'm blown away,
Like these are such important things inour business and it's kind of been a
blind spot for me as a humanbecause I felt like it was being taken
care of. But at the sametime, she is someone that can hold
(37:25):
us to accountable at a completely differentlevel because she's so passionate about it.
I went back to her and Iwas like, well, how do you
feel about us enhancing your position whereyou can be the strategic thought leader because
you're doing all this research every weekadvising us in terms of ethics in terms
of the legal side of ar andgo super deep in terms of what we
(37:45):
can leverage this knowledge that was meusing my superpowers where I could do certain
things I couldn't do other things.And as a result, I've got an
employee who's thriving, who's growing inthe business, taking on a bigger leadership
role. And anyone can do thisway. You see a problem because the
problem in your superpower is speak toone another. It's really weird. But
(38:07):
people often say to me, like, how do I find a superpower?
And I'm like, take a stepback, think of what your biggest problem
is, because in that finding thatbiggest problem, secretly or quietly, your
superpower is sitting there with it.Because you wouldn't be so passionate about solving
that problem if it wasn't related toyour superpower. And then say, okay,
this is my starting point before youknow it. If you keep doing
(38:28):
it for like ten minutes, day, six months time, whatever that goal
was associated with solving that problem,I guarantee you you're going to be very
successful. Wow, that's amazing.That is amazing. So can you share
an example with us of how youovercame limitations and what others can learn from
(38:49):
it. I think the biggest thingwas, for example, as I mentioned
it, how I was going tofail in bolding my dreams, you know,
building, investing in startups, investingin people solving the biggest challenges in
the world was extremely important to me. I was a kid that grew up
in a third world country and Isaw huge problems, and I just I
(39:12):
had this dream of coming to thisamazing country and being able to participate in
all the things that you know.I was walking down the street today,
I'm like, I'm in California andtheir palm trees and I have to often
rub my eyes because I'm like,I can't believe, but I literally,
yeah, those palm trees are realand I get to see them every day
of my life. And for me, the idea that I was going to
(39:35):
fail if I never if I neversucceeded and used whatever I could. I
think when it comes to the investing, I'm particularly proud of the fact that
I built. I built AI toolsthat most people would think I would be
impossible. So let's take one Ibuilt this week, which was just fun
and people can use it and cantry it out. So I'm an early
(39:58):
stage AI. So I ran twocompanies, says you know, I run
the venture capital firm and I rununemployable AI. So I'm very busy.
At the same time. If youlook at what's happening in AI, the
public markets is where all actions takingplace. So Microsoft, Google, in
Vidio. I like, there's aton of action taking place. Now I
don't have time to invest in thepublic markets. Know how to invest,
(40:22):
but I don't have time. Andthat's you know, it bugs me because
I'm like, hey, I'm aninvestor. I want to participate in it.
There's a lot of money to bemade. I said to myself,
I'm going to do something about this. So I have my early stage investing
knowledge and I was like, I'mgoing to boild this custom GPT, and
I have insights from you know,the smartest people in the world. I
listen to a ton of podcasts.I'm going to like we were saying about
(40:44):
your course, I'm going to consolidateall that information. I'm going to share
it with this custom GPT. I'mgoing to say, let's run an experiment,
very small sums of money, butlet's do it in a public way
so people can see us do thisand let's create an investing portfolio focusing on
the public markets which can help uscapitalize on AI. Let's see if we
(41:04):
can make money in the public marketswhen I don't have time to do with
this. And at the same time, you will be our chief investment officer,
so I have my knowledge, youhave your knowledge, will use the
power of the internet, and weare going to see what we can create
out of this and going to builda portfolio. It was absolutely mind blowing
because the investments that it chose versusthe investments I would choose. I was
(41:28):
like, this is really intriguing.This is an experiment running. As I
say, we've started around this experiment. I'm getting the AI to help me
balance the portfolio. See every quarterI share everything with the AI. I'm
not compare. Let's balance the portfolio. It took a strategic role in US
and I'm intrigued. I would lovefor your listener's also to participate. You
can log into this custom gptavolve andyou can ask your questions right now.
(41:52):
You can go and you can say, Okay, this is what I'm hearing
in AAR when it comes to AIin the public markets. This is what
I read on the Wall Street Journal. This is what I read, Yeah,
Bloomberg, what do you think aboutit? It will answer you and
it will give you feedback. Andwe don't know. We don't know,
as I say, how this willplay out. It may make us our
little portfolio a lot of money.So it's every single month, it's just
(42:14):
doing, you know, like investingsmall amounts of money automatically into these companies.
And as I say, the partthat I will have to participate in
is rebalancing it. Where I willnot be in charge of rebalancing. I
will be in charge of, youknow, like getting it all the data
it needs. That's my responsibility toensure it has everything eats. I'm in
charge of ensuring that all the earlystage information is constantly sharing it. And
(42:36):
that was an example, as Isay, where you ask me about overcoming
limitations, what was the limitation?The limitation was I don't have enough time
in my life to capitalize on myvery valuable knowledge in the public markets.
Even though there you can look atFacebook makes fifty billion dollars in a day,
like that's where the money is beingmade in AI. So I'm working
(42:57):
here helping my companies. I'm bullingmy own company. I don't have time
to capitalize on something that a rightfullycould be able to capitalize on. And
so that is a perfect example ofusing the power of AI. Now it
sounds extremely complicated, and please understand, it wasn't. I understood the steps
going back to educating people. Iunderstood, Okay, how does this work?
(43:19):
What is my problem? What ismy goal? Can I write it
down? You're very talented. Canyou systematically write down what your problem is
that you need to achieve? Whatwas my problem? I have no time?
What was my problem? Money's beingmade in the markets? What was
my problem? Up on key trackin this every single month? It needs
to be automated. So use alreadyfour simple problems that the AI can address.
(43:43):
And what was my goal? Iwant to make money out of the
public markets? Can you help medo this? And was I willing to
take a small risk? I waslike, Okay, these one hundred dollar
begs, this is not a lotof money. Let me see why it
comes out of this? Can thisactually work? Can a normal person who
is not on Wall Street, wedoesn't have access to a hedge fight?
Can they do this for themselves?Perfect example of overcoming my own limitations in
(44:06):
order to achieve my goals. Wow, that's amazing. That is amazing.
You are giving us so many greatnuggets here. It's just it's really blowing
my mind here. But it isreally this is great. There's just so
many questions. I have enough timeto get into all of them. But
(44:28):
if you had tell us, ifyou had one piece of advice that you
could, you know, leave withthe women out there that's viewing you as
it relates to AI, what wouldthat one piece of advice be. Don't
be a AI, embraces go onit, go with it. So what's
(44:51):
next? Anything on the horizon?I know you have the Unemployable AI.
Is there any other books coming out? Anything else we should be looking for
on the horizon? Yes, newbook is I'm working super hard with it
and I would love for you allto participate in it. I would love
your feedback because at the end ofthe day, that's why I've broken it
(45:14):
up into, you know, multiplechapters. I want to get it into
your hands. I want you tobe using the information. I want you
to come back to me and saythis is working for me. Our businesses
are succeeding, We're doing this.It's exciting. So new book, extremely
excited about it. I'm doing alot of webinars, I'm doing a lot
of workshops where there's a need messageme and say Elisia, this is where
(45:37):
a group of women we're doing thiscool thing. We need your help.
Can you just like show up virtuallyput us all on the court, and
we want to learn how to dothis for ourselves. So I'm very aligned
with you. Where you talk aboutyou one million women, I'm very aligned
if I can get a million womendoing this for themselves, for the as
a So I'm obsessed with companies,building companies, you know, helping the
(45:58):
employees just like excel using the powerof AI. I would be extremely excited.
Wow, that's good to know.That is good to know. So
tell us if someone wanted to reachout to you to find out about all
the things that you're going to bedoing, your webinars, your workshops and
different things like that, how canthey reach you? And also to get
your book? How can they reachyou? So to reach me, I

message so I can actually make sureto answer your specific ask. And then
the book. The easiest place toget the book, of course is on
Amazon, but you can buy itall over online and get the book,
read the book. Because my goalwith the first book was the form a
found trust. So it's very vulnerablein the book is very honest because I
think as a woman, we needthat sense of connection and community and seeing

start a foundation a relationship between meand the reader where we can go on
that journey together, inspiring them andempowering them to fulfill their dreams. Absolutely
