Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hello and welcome to
the Diarobie Health Show.
It's been a while, and thereason it's been a while I've
got a big announcement I'm goingto make today.
I haven't been idle, I have notbeen recording episodes on this
show, but the reason for thatis I've been through a huge
personal transformation and theworld is going through a
transformation at the moment Now.
(00:33):
First of all, I started thispodcast 281 episodes ago, years
ago and since then, podcastinghas become much more popular and
there's some really goodpodcasts.
You obviously listen topodcasts.
I listen to podcasts.
I am a certified nutritioncoach who's passionate about
nutrition, exercise supplements,you name it.
(00:55):
I'm interested, I want to knowmore, but the fact is I've been
passed up.
There are some really goodshows better than the Dairobi
Health Show.
I hate to say it, but the factis it's true.
They've got resources, they'vegot studios, they can bring
high-level guests in.
I've had some phenomenal guestsand I'm grateful for every
single one of them, but the factis that there's now celebrities
(01:19):
in the space and it's becomecram-packed and not only
cram-packacked but good, goodquality.
There's some great health showsout there and the Dairobi
Health Show became just anotherone, and I appreciate you
listening and those of you whohave hung in with me and enjoyed
the show and the comments I'vegotten and the reviews.
It's been really fantastic.
(01:41):
But meantime, really fantastic.
But meantime, as the space hasgotten crowded, an entire new
segment has emerged and that isthe arena of AI.
I believe will revolutionizehealth and fitness as much as it
revolutionizes law andprogramming and graphic design
(02:02):
and music and everything else ittouches.
And for me I'm a huge fan oftechnology.
I always want to be ahead oftechnology.
I don't want to be left behind.
I'm not one of these peoplethat's fearful, although of
course, anything can happen.
Look, a meteor can hit theearth tomorrow and the whole
thing is over.
We don't know.
Of course there's risks.
(02:22):
There's risks with AI.
The first risk that could wipeout humanity came in the 1940s
in the form of atomic power, andwe've lived under that, with at
least two countries who candestroy the entire world for
almost 100 years.
And could atomic energy stilldestroy the world?
It could, absolutely.
(02:44):
It has the power to.
Could AI destroy the world?
It could too.
But guess what?
I got a secret.
I've watched the movies and inthe movies, the people who
survive the AI apocalypse arefit.
It's the buff people Think ofTerminator.
Sarah Connor could do pull-upsright.
So guess what?
(03:05):
I got this great idea.
I'm going to combine AI andfitness, and we got the best of
both worlds.
If you use AI to improve yourhealth, your fitness, your
mental wellness, everything.
If one day the machines rise up, you and me will lock arms, go
out into the woods and survive.
(03:25):
The week will be left behind.
Okay, I'm joking, but you getthe idea.
We don't know what the futureholds, but we know what the
present has, and the presentright now has some incredible
opportunities in AI.
Let me give you a couple ofthoughts here Now and let me
just get to the punchline andthen I'll carry on and you can
stick with me if you want or not.
Here's the punchline.
(03:46):
I'm starting a new podcast.
It's called the AI FitnessPodcast.
I feel like it's a space thatI'm really excited about, where
I can thrive, where I'm notcompeting with a thousand really
good podcasts.
No one's doing an AI-focusedfitness podcast at the moment,
and I think that's a shame.
I think there's room for it.
(04:06):
I think that it's going toevolve.
What we have in AI for fitnessright now is incredible.
I'll be giving you examples ofhow I'm using it.
I'll be giving you resources.
We'll be giving you PDFdownloads to use as prompts.
We'll be helping you to raiseyour level of fitness, health,
exercise predictive analytics.
There's so much to it.
(04:27):
It's so exciting.
I'm starting a new podcast withDr Rob Lyon.
He has a PhD in educationsociology.
I'm sorry I always get itconfused because he's got
multiple degrees.
He's got the degree thatmatters here is his PhD in
health education.
He's incredibly interested inthe exact same world that I am
(04:51):
and what he does is.
He helps me with anotherproblem of podcasting.
For those of you who've beenlistening for a long time, you
might remember when I had a lotof guests and then I stopped
having guests.
Do you know why?
Because it was a pain in theneck constantly working on
getting new guests, setting upschedules, making sure that I
figured out exactly what couldbe said and what can't be said,
(05:11):
and whether they had a book topromote or a call to action, and
then sometimes they didn't showup and that was a pain in the
neck and I found it was reallytime-consuming for a small
entrepreneur like myself, smallbeing we have a small business
and I've got a lot to do.
I wear a lot of hats, so Istarted doing them on my own.
But guess what?
Solo episodes aren't that great.
So having a guest, or at leasta co-host, is fantastic, but
(05:36):
arranging a new guest every timejust sucks.
It's just awful.
And having a co-host, though,allows for the conversation it
allows for if I misspeak, he cancorrect me.
Vice versa, if he sayssomething really cool, but I
think maybe I don't understandthat fully or maybe the audience
didn't quite catch what youjust said.
This is the thing that co-hostscan do they can make each other
(05:58):
better, make sure they don'tmisspeak.
They can also help prepare forthe episode.
So I'm taking everything I'velearned from all these episodes,
combining it into what I'mreally passionate about now,
which is the arena of how AI isgoing to transform our health,
wellness, even our mental health.
So let's talk about AI for justa minute.
First of all.
I believe that AI willtransform the world in as big a
(06:24):
way as the printing press, theindustrial revolution or the
digital revolution.
I've done my homework on this.
There's a lot of experts whoagree with me.
The printing pressrevolutionized access to
knowledge by making booksaffordable and widely available.
Ai is doing a similar thing bydemocratizing information, for
(06:46):
example.
There's sophisticatedtechnologies that were once
confined to experts, but ChatGPTempowers non-programmers to
become programmers.
I helped my daughter create awill.
Normally, you had to go to anattorney to do that.
The printing press allowedordinary people to access books
and knowledge, and AI takes thata step further than the
internet.
(07:06):
The internet allows us toaccess knowledge, but not in the
way that AI does.
On Google, you got to searchforever and then hope your
sources are good and spend allthis time where AI searches the
web for you, searches the bestpossible sites and, yes, it can
make mistakes and this is theworst AI will ever have, because
it's getting better and better,but overall, it's already
(07:27):
better than one person andGoogle.
Economic shifts from AI will behuge, and I don't take these
lightly.
Some people will lose theirjobs, but just like manual labor
was replaced by machinestransforming industries like
textiles, transportation, ai,through automation, is expected
(07:47):
to reshape industries such asfinance, healthcare as we're
talking about and manufacturing,and it will significantly alter
labor markets.
This will be tough, I get it,but ideally the job displacement
will be balanced by thecreation of new roles.
There are already AI, engineers, data scientists, and this is
(08:08):
analogous to how the industrialrevolution displaced artisanal
jobs but created factory-basedemployment.
Now, that may not be the bestexample, because most people
don't want to work in a factory,although it's much better than
it used to be, but at least theyweren't starving, right.
It was a step up in some ways.
A lot of artisans were hungrypeople right, where at least
(08:30):
factory-produced jobs were morestable and, over time, got
better.
Okay, ai's role in the fourthindustrial revolution.
Many view AI as a key driver ofwhat is already being called the
fourth industrial revolution.
Just like the revolutionsfueled by steam, electricity and
the internet, ai will transformhow we produce goods, how we
(08:52):
produce services, how weautomate complex tasks, and will
boost up innovation andproductivity in every sector.
All of this is backed up by therapid adoption of AI, which is
blowing everybody away.
Did you know?
Chat GPT hit 100 million usersin two months.
(09:14):
That's a record pace ofadoption for anything, ever,
anywhere.
This mirrors how pastrevolutions, like the internet,
like the car replacinghorse-drawn buggies, have
transformed society.
So AI is going to transformeverything and I want to be
(09:34):
there.
I want to be there in the arenawhere it's transforming health,
the AI Fitness Podcast.
Depending on when you listen tothis, the website might already
be up where you can go andfigure out where you can listen
to it AIfitnesspodcastai.
There's actually a placeholderthere and we're quickly putting
it all together.
So if you listen to thispodcast very quickly, you might
arrive and go wow, this lookswrong because that's the state
(09:56):
that it's in right now, butwe're recording episodes one
through three, possibly throughfive tomorrow and the day after,
put them all up online nextweek.
And I still love the DiRubyHealth Show.
I'm still leaving it up.
There's still a lot of users ona monthly basis, which I really
(10:34):
appreciate, and there'll betimes I just will have something
to say that just makes the mostsense for the DiRub, something
really important.
So if you want to staysubscribed, that would be great,
and I will still leave the showup and continue to add in
topics that I believe are reallyspecific to my Dairobi
customers, to the Dairobi HealthShow generally and where I just
want to pull out the microphoneand share something and not to
get together with Dr Rob ona.
More highly prepared AI-focusedshow.
(10:54):
In the first five episodeswe'll be covering a lot of
really useful, tangibleinformation and ways you can put
AI to work right away.
We're both using it to developfitness plans, meal prepping,
improve our workouts, ourrecovery.
I've deleted apps.
I use ChatGPT I feel like on apretty high level compared to
(11:17):
most people and I'm going toshare that with you.
At the same time, I feel like achild with a new toy just
learning all this stuff, and soI'll be learning it with you.
As a matter of fact, if you haveideas, if there's things about
AI you'd love to learn about,please send them to me.
Dave at dyrobicom, send me theinformation and any ideas that
you have for the show, and Iwould love to hear them.
(11:38):
I think you'll love Dr Rob.
He is an enthusiastic guy who'sa geek, just like I am in all
this stuff.
He's an amateur athlete, reallyengaged in athletics and
nutrition, and an expert in hisfield, and I think the two of us
will make a great pair and itwill be a really fun episode.
So again, thanks for listening,for all this time and for
(12:00):
putting up with this long breakwhile I've been going through
such a big transformation, andI'm just excited to get back at
it in a different way in which Ifeel like I can actually
contribute again in a fieldthat's not so crowded, that is
emerging, that's exciting,that's got a ton to offer to
people who are interested in it,and I hope you enjoy it as well
(12:21):
With that.
This is Dave Sherwin, wishingyou health and success.
