Are you ready to multiply yourself a thousand times? What if you could compete with industry giants on a shoestring budget? The future isn't coming—it's already here.
Meet Alicia Lyttle, the self-proclaimed "Queen of AI," who's transforming how entrepreneurs approach business in the age of artificial intelligence. In this eye-opening conversation from the Black Wealth Summit 2025, Alicia reveals why AI isn't just another tech trend—it's the great equalizer that's rewriting the rules of business success.
Alicia's journey began when she witnessed IBM Watson defeat Jeopardy champions, but her true AI awakening came with ChatGPT's release. Recognizing its revolutionary potential, she canceled all appointments for two weeks to master this technology—a decision that doubled her business in just half a year and put her on track to quadruple it this year.
From training AI to write in your unique voice to creating autonomous agents that can attend 1,000 Zoom meetings simultaneously, Alicia demystifies how these tools level the playing field for small businesses. "Back in the day, we'd pay big firms lots of money to do what these tools are doing now," she explains, highlighting how AI democratizes access to sophisticated business capabilities.
The conversation goes beyond theory, offering practical examples anyone can implement immediately. Discover how Alicia uses ChatGPT for everything from changing smart lock batteries to identifying the right car parts—saving time, reducing stress, and eliminating unnecessary research. Learn how AI agents can translate languages in real-time, answer phones, generate leads, and create a multiplication effect that exponentially increases your productivity.
But perhaps most importantly, Alicia delivers a sobering truth: "It's not going to be AI that steals your job. It's going to be the person that uses AI." As corporations increasingly prioritize AI-savvy employees, embracing these tools isn't optional for those who want to remain competitive.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just beginning your journey, this conversation offers a roadmap to leveraging AI for personal and professional growth. Start simple, start today, and discover how AI can help you close the wealth gap by competing on an entirely new level.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I often call AI the great equalizer, especially that
ChatGPT now is free.
Right, you can use the freeversion.
I recommend the $20 a monthversion but you can use it for
free.
But you know, back in the daywhen I was doing marketing, if
we'd want to get these type oftools or data from something, we
would have to pay a lot ofmoney to big firms to be able to
do what these tools are doingnow.
(00:21):
And just looking at whatthey're capable of, we can
compete on different levels ifwe stop for a minute and pay
attention and go all in on AI.
So if you want to make yourselffuture-proof, you better get
into AI, and if you're abusiness owner, I mean.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Level up.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, level up because you need to.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
What up D-Hustle?
What's going on?
What's going on?
Player.
Beautiful day today.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Where we at, though.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Again, I'm not in the beach, You're not at the beach.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I'm not at the beach, but we're here.
We're in South Florida, Miami.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
We are at the Black Wealth Summit 2025, second
conference here at FloridaMemorial University.
And guess what?
Fmu is the only HBCU here inSouth Florida.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Did you know that?
No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, I've been announcing it all day.
But, they, graciously, arehosting the black wealth summit
here and we have a special guesthere.
We got alicia little.
Bring her to the stage oh hey,how you like the little
introduction, I do I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that's my guy right there um, first of all I
want to say thank you so muchfor hanging out with us
absolutely I know uh theaudience.
She is a killer speaker and wejust grabbed her from off the
stage and came right backstage,and right quick, because she's
primed and ready to go to giveyou all some more insights, and
I can't wait until you hear somemore about her.
But, alicia, tell us a littlebit about you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Give us a quick introduction.
Wow, where do I start?
I'm addicted to AI.
Let's start with that.
I absolutely love everythingartificial intelligence.
I've been an entrepreneur forthe past 25 years.
I started off in digitalmarketing and content creation,
creating courses, selling them,online speaking and training,
but when I really got into AI, Iwas like this is game changing
(02:13):
for everyone.
I made a pivot out of digitalmarketing and went all into AI
integration, ai solutions andtraining, and it was the best
decision for me.
I absolutely love it and lookat the time.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure that's an amazing
journey and I and the fact thatyou are talking about ai, oh,
I'm so, so happy.
So our show is about technology, engineering and the culture
and how they intersect I love it.
One topic that we cover all thetime is ai um, but all three of
us are technologists.
We've been at the keyboard insome capacity for more than 20
(02:46):
years, so we've seen theevolution.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm an 80s baby, so we've seen when the internet was
first created to now where weare with the internet versus.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Hey, this is the beginning of the AI journey and
hopefully everybody catches thiswave, but tell us how you first
discovered AI, got interestedin it and what really like
drived your shift in terms ofyou pursuing it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, so back back in 2017, I was speaking at
Walmart's event, so they have aninternal event for their
employees called Walmart TechLive, so I was one of the
speakers and the speaker infront of me he was 15 years old
at the time, so first of all, Iwas like wait a second, a 15
year old he was talking aboutIBM's tool called IBM Watson,
(03:26):
and in his video that he showedon stage, he showed how this AI
tool, ibm Watson, beat thenation's best Jeopardy champions
in a game of Jeopardy.
So, I'm watching this computersystem that they have, you know,
standing up in between the twohumans answering the questions
and just like boom, boom, boomand it won a million dollars.
(03:47):
I don't know what they did witha million dollars, but it won a
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
What did they do with it?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They reinvested it.
But when I saw that I was like,wow, look how that tool
mimicked human behavior so welland beat the nation's best
champions.
And then I said I need to payattention to what this
artificial intelligence is,because I was definitely in tech
, but tech side, more of techand digital marketing driving
(04:11):
traffic, website search engineoptimization and I was missing
out on all this AI stuff.
So I started using tools thathad AI in it.
I started using tools that werecalled Jasper and Writer and
they were a little bit clunkycompared to when ChatGPT came
out so fast forward to Novemberof 2022.
And one of my students in mytrainings called me and she was
(04:33):
like, oh, you taught us Jasperand Ryder, but this is much
better.
And today's day number one, itjust came out.
You need to pay attention.
I was like yeah, yeah.
And then on day two she calledme back Did you do it?
I said no, I didn't.
She's like, no, stop everythingand do it.
So I stopped everything and Iwent to chat GPT and I said, wow
, you know what the other toolsthat I'm using, I'd have to
(04:58):
shift over here, make a headline, then write this, but this one
can keep going in sequentialorder, doing what I'm asking it
to do in the same train ofthought.
But the content that came outwasn't good.
It was generic, it was robotic,just like the other AI tools.
But I was like what if I couldtrain this tool to mimic me?
Would I ever have to writeanything, ever again, from
scratch?
So I locked myself up for twoweeks.
(05:19):
I canceled every appointmentthat I had and I just went all
in on just really learning howto master ChatGPT, and that made
all the difference just givingit focus for two weeks.
And then I had speaking eventsafter that and I called the
promoters and I said I am notspeaking on digital marketing
anymore, it's only AI.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The game has changed now I know.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And they were like you can speak on whatever you
want to speak on.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Alicia.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And I was like okay, cool, and that's really started
just getting me known in that AIspace, and then I just feel
like you know me and AI toolsare one we just blend well
together.
So I I just love it and what itcan do for entrepreneurs and
tech professionals and evensomebody who just needs a little
bit of help in their life, hasquestions about doing something.
It can help us with so manythings, not just the work aspect
of it, or the business aspectof it, but I use it every day in
my personal life as well.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, yeah.
So like I'm so grateful to hear, like the evolution, but also
how quick you've seen like theeventual right adoption uses for
it and then locking yourself upand making sure that you learn
it and put the work in and thentraining it and developing or
fine-tuning it so it can soundmore like you Give a round of
(06:30):
applause, thank you thank you,thank you.
That's why when I look at herprofile, it says Queen of AI.
Yes, for sure.
So where did that title comefrom, the Queen of AI?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Sure sure.
So I was speaking at an event.
It was in Baltimoretimoremaryland I was speaking, an
event and this was early 2023,maybe january, february 2023 and
I was showing them um, wedidn't have a name for it even
back then ai agents, but I wasshowing them myself and two ais
talking behind me yeah and theywere saying I'm jamal on
alicia's team, I'm tiffany onalicia's team and I was showing
(06:58):
them all this ai stuff and doinga workshop, and then a lady in
the audience her name was, uh,deborah ashley.
She was like you are the queenof ai and everybody in the room
was like you are, you are and itjust stuck from there.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Round of applause because let me tell you it's.
It's like eye-opening once youinteract with this technology
and you see what itscapabilities are.
Not just a surface level likehey, draft me an email and it
regurgitates that, but theability to be aware of a level
of consciousness.
And for me, as soon as Istarted to see that, I'm like yo
(07:31):
and all I got to do is use thisinterface called typing and
texting.
And then it gets to that Likehow was that, when you first
like start to encounter, andthen you were like really just
diving more into it, right,right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So when I first went to it and I asked it to do
something, were like really justdiving more into it, right.
So when I first went to it andI asked it to do something, like
the content that came back wascorrect, it wasn't that it was
incorrect, yeah, but it wasn'tme.
I'm fun, but chat gpt was notfun.
It was like unlocking thesecrets to the transformation of
.
I do not talk like that so Iwould start.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
My sentence was like hey, hey, hey, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
So I sat there and I was like, well, what if I could
train it to talk like me?
So I started feeding it mycontent and said you know, I've
hired a ghostwriter before andpaid thousands of dollars for
ghostwriters.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I was like all right.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
When I sat with the ghostwriter, I had to give her
my content.
We had to break down my writingstyle and tone.
I had to pay her thousands ofdollars to do that and it still
didn't sound as much like me asI wanted it to.
But I knew the process.
So I was like what if I didthat process, pretending that
ChatGPT was a ghostwriter?
sitting across the table andsaying okay, here's my content,
(08:37):
tell me about my writing styleand tone and what came back to
me.
I was like this is exactly likeme.
And then I said, okay, nowwrite the speech in that style
and tone that I just gave you.
And it did it.
And I was like boom.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That light bulb came on.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I was like this is fire.
This is exactly what I need.
Since that day, I've beentraining people how to do that
so that you're never putting outgeneric robotic writing.
So I used an AI detector todetect the content before.
So, before you know, when itsaid unlocking the
transformation, it came back as100% AI generated.
But then, after I wrote it asme, in my style and tone, it
(09:13):
came back and said this passesas human written content.
I was like this was written byChachiBT, but it's beating the
AI detectors saying it's humanwritten content.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, what?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's where we at right and that was uh a few
years ago it was 2022, yes, 2022, so about a year and a half ago
, but as fast as ai is iteratingthat's, it's a different era it
is so how do?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
you feel in terms of where ai is now, and then we're
definitely going to be talkingabout how we can make ai uh help
us as we're building wealth,and development.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But how do?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
you feel where AI is right now?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, so you know that really was the foundation
of me learning AI.
But it's still the foundationwhere I teach people like never
put out content, no matter what,with any AI tool without it
sounding like you no genericrobotic writing over here but
how AI has just developed soquickly since then.
I mean, I look at thedevelopments now and I'm like
(10:05):
this is 20 years of techdevelopments in two and a half.
It's developing so quickly andnow we're using things like AI
agents.
We're getting AI to do thingsfor us.
I used a tool that can orderInstacart for me.
Log into my account, takesomething, a recipe, order
everything, you see it and it'sdelivered to the door.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'm like this is the life that I like I know right.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I have a robot that vacuums my floors.
I'm all in on the living lifeto be more efficient and more
productive.
I want to use my time to dosomething else sweep my floor,
then order my groceries, andthen I'm looking at anything
that I need to get done in mypersonal life.
Like anytime I have a question,I look at how much time I can
(10:51):
save by using AI.
So here's a quick example.
I have a smart lock on my door.
You know, trying to be alltechnical Connected.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So I have a smart lock on my door and it kept
giving me on my phone that thebattery was low.
I'm like I don't know how tochange a battery and I don't
read the instruction book.
I'm sure you read all yourinstruction manuals book.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I'm sure you read all your instruction manuals.
That's the reason whyeverything's broken, because I
didn't read the instructions.
I'll tell you how to fix it allnow right.
Go ahead, give it to me.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So I took a picture with my phone, chatgpt, put the
picture in ChatGPT and I saidthis is my smart lock.
It's saying the battery's low.
How do I change the battery?
Tell me in the simplest form.
And so it said look on the twosides, push those in, pop it up.
I was like bam, popped it up.
And then now I'm looking at itand I'm like now what am I
supposed to do, instead oftrying to figure it out myself,
picture now what am I supposedto do.
It said see the tab at the topthat says battery pull, pull it
(11:42):
and I pulled it, put the newbatteries in, put it all back in
and I was like that saved me somuch time manual or I'd have to
go to YouTube.
But now ChatGPT just told me ina minute later my problem is
solved.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And so I went in my kitchen.
You know that kitchen draweryou have with all the
instructions.
Boom recycling bin.
I don't need it anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Threw it all out.
That's probably the same,because I usually throw all my
instructions out as soon as Iget them, like I'm done building
stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
That is hilarious, you'd be surprised at the things
that it can do.
So any problems that I've had.
I'm asking ChatGPT for theanswers and now I'm spending my
time doing other things and itsaves a huge amount of money.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh my gosh.
And the way that you'redescribing it is perfect to kind
of correlate to where we weretwo, three years ago, because we
would have to have gone online,google, type in what is the
version of this lock and go lookfor the version model, right,
type it in and then look for thepdf, right?
Oh, I don't have a pdf viewerinstalled.
Now, I gotta install that.
And now you open it up, or whatpage that'd be on, oh where,
(12:40):
like to now, where all I do isjust take a picture that's right
and then it doesn't search, ittells me and it tells me hey,
press these two little buttons.
Actually, you see that littletime right there, that's not
supposed to be there, becauseyou're supposed to take it off
when you first install it.
Pull that, pull that rightthat's amazing, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So I went to auto zone the other day and I wanted
to change my cabin air filtermyself.
I'm, you know yeah, and a woman, so I'm like all right, so now
I'm in auto zone and do you knowthey still have the book to
flip through to find your cabinair filter I'm thinking to to
myself I could help them so muchwith some AI.
But anyway.
So I'm in there and I'm likeI'm not going to flip through
the book.
So I take a picture of all ofthe cabin air filters and I was
(13:20):
like I have a Mustang Mach-E andI want a new cabin air filter
because I saw on TikTok that youshould change these, so I want
a new one.
And I said which one should Iget?
And it it actually told meshelf three in the middle, this
number on it, that's for yourmaki and the model pulled it off
the shelf, but I verify so Itook a picture again.
Did I get the right one?
(13:40):
Yes, you got the right one.
And it reiterated this is forthe mustang maki.
That's amazing I went to checkout while the other people are
at the counter asking they're inlike the line asking what they
need to get when I want to belike, just pull out chachi, yeah
you know, keep it moving.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's amazing and and this is the thing that's
that's really cool is the usecase for it, and I think our
community is going to start toreally like light bulb.
Come on, because that's where Ifeel like, in terms of when we
talk about gap and closing thatwealth gap is utilizing tools
like AI.
So how do you feel like that'sgoing to help us in terms of
being able to close that gap?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, so the thing is that I often call AI the great
equalizer, especially thatChatGPT now is free right.
You can use the free version.
I recommend the $20 a monthversion but you can use it for
free.
But back in the day, when I wasdoing marketing, if we'd want
to get these type of tools ordata from something, we would
(14:37):
have to pay a lot of money tobig firms to be able to do what
these tools are doing now andjust looking at what they're
capable of, we can compete ondifferent levels if we stop for
a minute and pay attention andgo all in on AI.
So as a small business owner,you can compete now with the
biggest of the marketing firmsbecause you tell AI.
(14:58):
So let's say, you're writing aproposal, right, you're writing
a proposal to get a contract.
And so you say, okay, I'mwriting a proposal responding to
this request for proposals andI want to fill out this contract
.
And then you can have chat.
Gpt say all right, well, whowould be the top three companies
who are going to respond tothis contract?
(15:18):
And chat, gpt will tell you andyou can say pretend that you are
that company and respond to thecontract.
I want to see how that companywould respond to the contract.
And you're like what in theworld?
And then you're like now here'smy company information.
Keeping that in mind, respondas my company and it will
respond to that contract,thinking about things that you
never thought.
And then you ask it thequestion if I were to win this
(15:40):
contract, what information doyou need to know from me in
order to rewrite the contract ina way that it would win?
And you just keep working withAI to say am I going to win now,
what's my grade?
Pretend that you are the twopeople that are reviewing this
contract, what grade would yougive me?
And it's going to say a, c andyou say, well, how do I get to a
B, how do I get to an A?
(16:01):
And it will just keep givingyou the information so you can
win, so you can win.
So you really need to look atthe fact that we can compete now
on different levels and we canshow up on different levels and
what we thought we needed tohire maybe a copywriter for or a
business coach for, we can nowsay well, if you know how to use
it correctly, chatgpt can be mycopywriter and my business
(16:24):
coach.
I don't need a graphic designer, I can use Midjourney or
Ideogram, so now we can havecomplete teams that we thought
we needed, with AI just being aone-person show.
So it's a different space forus and what we need to think
about is, as a community, payingattention to it and not living
in that place of fear that youget left behind, because I can
(16:47):
tell you, I teach incorporations and government
agencies and I upskill theiremployees and you're hearing
time and time again they arelaying off people who do not
have AI skills or who do notwant to upskill themselves to
hire people who do yeah so ifyou want to make yourself
future-proof, you better getinto AI facts and if you're a
business owner, I mean level up
Speaker 2 (17:09):
yeah, level up because you need to yeah, we say
that on our show all the time.
It's not going to be ai thatsteals your job.
It's going to be the personthat uses ai, that's raymond,
don't call him ray ray he's inthe cut right now but, uh, one
thing that I think, uh, youmentioned briefly, um and
definitely in terms of closingthe wealth gap I think that's a
great avenue and pathway interms of like, uh, working
(17:32):
towards things that you didn'tthink you had access to before.
Now, ai is that force multiplierthat's giving you access, so
that you can get those biggercontracts.
Now we're going to talk more AI, ai stuff.
Ai agents is the next iteration.
In error, they say that 2025 isthe year of AI agents.
So tell us a little bit aboutAI agents.
And where do you see?
Yeah, sure, so tell us a littlebit about AI agents and where
do you see?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, sure.
So where do we even start?
Some of the demonstrations Iwas showing today here at the
Blackwell Summit, I showed ademonstration of how we use an
interactive AI agent, and thisis an AI agent that is in a
human form but is AI, and youcan program it to do whatever
the task is.
(18:12):
So, we have an AI agent on ourteam, right, she's an AI staff
member called Angelina and I'vetrained her to be a translator
doing live translation for me,so she gets on a Zoom call with
me.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Shout out to Jules also.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
She gets on a Zoom call with me and, as I'm
speaking in English, if I sayokay, you're going to translate
into Dutch.
she says, okay, I'm ready,because this is the prompt
behind the scenes and then Istart talking and she does the
translation for me and then ifsomebody has a question she
knows the cue questions.
I say whenever I ask for aquestion, they're going to speak
to you in Dutch and youtranslate it to me in English
(18:50):
and then give them the answerI'm global.
Now we're so much more globaland we're doing bigger things,
because where I would have said,you know, I'm not, I'm not sure
.
This is going to be a lot ofwork.
I got to find a translator.
It's hard to do it on Zoom.
I got to make sure they'reavailable and that there's a
high cost to it.
Now I'm just bringing Angelina.
(19:11):
She's ready to work whenever.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I say with zero notice.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I say you ready to do some translation?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Zero notice, for sure I say you ready to do some
translation?
I am ready.
Let's get started with language.
The GPUs have been running here.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
We've been waiting right, I know right, and I
showed today as well how Icreated an AI agent of myself
and so I AI'd myself and so Ican send her.
We call her AI Alicia.
I can send her to any Zoom calland on Zoom she will answer
your questions.
She Zoom call and on Zoom, shewill answer your questions.
She will respond based on theknowledge base that I've
(19:42):
uploaded to her, and the exampleI gave on stage was copywriting
frameworks, because that's in abook that I upload ChatGPT what
copywriting frameworks can actas.
So she can answer all thosequestions.
So the software is able to sendthat AI agent out to a thousand
Zoom calls at the exact sametime.
Wow.
So now there's multipliedyourself a thousand times.
I know there's themultiplication effect and so she
(20:03):
can take notes for me whateverhappened on that Zoom call, send
it back over.
She can generate leads on thatZoom call, send people to my
book, send them to the salespage wherever you know the call
to action is.
So now, when we start to thinkabout how we can really you said
it multiply ourselves.
This is the multiplicationeffect with.
AI agents making us moreproductive, making us more
(20:23):
efficient, and so there's somany different types of AI
agents.
We have an AI agent thatanswers our phone for us.
There we go so it's using it inso many different ways.
That saves us money andresources and time, and then it
gives a better experience forthe customer as well.
Nobody wants to call my phone.
I'm here right now.
I'm not gonna answer my phone.
Yeah, but monica, our ai agent,will yeah, anytime sound very
(20:45):
good.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I can't even tell it who is this exactly yeah, that's
amazing because I think the the, the evolution of ai and the
use case for it, agents isopening up that door for us, and
I think that's where adoptionis going to even be, you know,
more quicker, especiallyorganization, customer service,
interacting, but using them totheir full potential, because
(21:07):
we're only at the beginningwe're only at the beginning of
it, right, amazing amazing work.
So the last thing I want to askyou about, because we are a
little bit over time- but thisis a great conversation.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You got another minute.
I I do, of course.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
AGI, so AGI.
What do you think about AGI andits forthcoming?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, I mean, who's not excited?
Well, I guess not.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
But I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I'm excited about it.
I mean the least amount of workthat I can do and AI can do for
me.
It just makes it.
So let me give you an examplewith our business.
As we started using AI, youknow our business doubled in
half the year, right.
And then now we're using agentsand AGI and now our business
(21:50):
double.
You know our business is goingto quadruple this year, so the
double is in half the time.
Can you imagine like you justkeep using more and more AI?
Well, I can imagine, because Ilike business.
You keep using more and more ofAI doing the work for you.
Let's just say that foreverybody like AI doing the work
for you, the key really is inthe programming and the
(22:12):
prompting and really trainingwhichever tool you decide to use
to be able to do these tasksfor you without you in the loop.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And then you know, making sure that everything's
running smoothly.
To just take things to the nextlevel, yeah.
I mean it's the excitementbehind all of it is just it's
overwhelming, I think, for a lotof people.
But I always tell people juststart simple, just start simple.
Start with just training ChachiPT to write like you, and then
(22:42):
you're going to move up to youknow, doing things with
autonomous agents.
You're going to move up, youknow.
Just keep moving up the ladder,but start somewhere and start
today, don't start tomorrow.
Start today because the futureis now, it's here, it's meant
for you to use.
Start today because the futureis now, it's here, it's meant
for you to use, and if you don'tuse it, then, like you just
said, you're going to bereplaced by someone who is using
(23:05):
it.
And so think of anything thatyou have in your life that you
need to fix, overcome, take tothe next level, grow, scale and
multiply, and then say how can Iuse AI to do those things?
And that's where you'll win.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Oh, my God, Alicia.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Thank you so much for that.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Definitely Give her another Jim Jim Jim and a round
of applause for sure Anyquestions Dean, Any last
questions you have?
No, she answered it all for me,people who use AI.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're looking at Raymond.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So, in terms of how people can find you and
definitely follow along, let usknow, let the audience know, how
to get connected with you, yeah, so I'm pretty easy to find on
social media.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I just have to spell my name, so it's Alicia Little
A-L-I-C-I-A Little L-Y-T-T-L-E,so you can go to my website
alicialittlecom and you can getmy book.
Chat GPT Made Easy free on mywebsite so you can grab that
book and that really will giveyou a head start into getting to
(24:01):
know ai.
But send me a message onlinkedin or instagram or
whatever social media you use.
Yeah, and I'd be happymentioned this show, of course
yeah, don't forget about thetech.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
How you found her right.
How did you find me for somevip treatment?
Yeah, but I'd be, I'd love tohave conversations with people
about that, roger that well dhustle cue the music up player.
Well, alicia, thank you so muchfor pulling up backstage with
Bobby D.
We're hanging out a little bit,filling y'all in on AI and how
it's going to change the future.
Force multiplier closing thewealth gap.
(24:30):
I mean extremely fast Forcemultiply a thousand times.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Amazing, amazing.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Amazing, amazing.
So I want to say thank you allso much for tuning in with
Backstage with Bobby D here atthe Black Wealth Summit, here at
Florida Memorial University.
My guy D Hustle, everything'sgood, fantastic.
Yeah, that was a goodconversation, wasn't it?
It was.
You know how much I like AI.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I feel good about it.
Yeah me too player.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Well, I want to say thank you all so much for tuning
in.
Check the comments below.
I often call AI the great equalizer, especially that
ChatGPT now is free.
Right, you can use the freeversion.
I recommend the $20 a monthversion but you can use it for
free.
But you know, back in the daywhen I was doing marketing, if
we'd want to get these type oftools or data from something, we
would have to pay a lot ofmoney to big firms to be able to
do what these tools are doingnow.
(00:21):
And just looking at whatthey're capable of, we can
compete on different levels ifwe stop for a minute and pay
attention and go all in on AI.
So if you want to make yourselffuture-proof, you better get
into AI, and if you're abusiness owner, I mean.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Level up.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, level up because you need to.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
What up D-Hustle?
What's going on?
What's going on?
Player.
Beautiful day today.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Where we at, though.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Again, I'm not in the beach, You're not at the beach.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I'm not at the beach, but we're here.
We're in South Florida, Miami.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
We are at the Black Wealth Summit 2025, second
conference here at FloridaMemorial University.
And guess what?
Fmu is the only HBCU here inSouth Florida.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Did you know that?
No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, I've been announcing it all day.
But, they, graciously, arehosting the black wealth summit
here and we have a special guesthere.
We got alicia little.
Bring her to the stage oh hey,how you like the little
introduction, I do I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that's my guy right there um, first of all I
want to say thank you so muchfor hanging out with us
absolutely I know uh theaudience.
She is a killer speaker and wejust grabbed her from off the
stage and came right backstage,and right quick, because she's
primed and ready to go to giveyou all some more insights, and
I can't wait until you hear somemore about her.
But, alicia, tell us a littlebit about you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Give us a quick introduction.
Wow, where do I start?
I'm addicted to AI.
Let's start with that.
I absolutely love everythingartificial intelligence.
I've been an entrepreneur forthe past 25 years.
I started off in digitalmarketing and content creation,
creating courses, selling them,online speaking and training,
but when I really got into AI, Iwas like this is game changing
(02:13):
for everyone.
I made a pivot out of digitalmarketing and went all into AI
integration, ai solutions andtraining, and it was the best
decision for me.
I absolutely love it and lookat the time.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure that's an amazing
journey and I and the fact thatyou are talking about ai, oh,
I'm so, so happy.
So our show is about technology, engineering and the culture
and how they intersect I love it.
One topic that we cover all thetime is ai um, but all three of
us are technologists.
We've been at the keyboard insome capacity for more than 20
(02:46):
years, so we've seen theevolution.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm an 80s baby, so we've seen when the internet was
first created to now where weare with the internet versus.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Hey, this is the beginning of the AI journey and
hopefully everybody catches thiswave, but tell us how you first
discovered AI, got interestedin it and what really like
drived your shift in terms ofyou pursuing it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, so back back in 2017, I was speaking at
Walmart's event, so they have aninternal event for their
employees called Walmart TechLive, so I was one of the
speakers and the speaker infront of me he was 15 years old
at the time, so first of all, Iwas like wait a second, a 15
year old he was talking aboutIBM's tool called IBM Watson,
(03:26):
and in his video that he showedon stage, he showed how this AI
tool, ibm Watson, beat thenation's best Jeopardy champions
in a game of Jeopardy.
So, I'm watching this computersystem that they have, you know,
standing up in between the twohumans answering the questions
and just like boom, boom, boomand it won a million dollars.
(03:47):
I don't know what they did witha million dollars, but it won a
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
What did they do with it?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They reinvested it.
But when I saw that I was like,wow, look how that tool
mimicked human behavior so welland beat the nation's best
champions.
And then I said I need to payattention to what this
artificial intelligence is,because I was definitely in tech
, but tech side, more of techand digital marketing driving
(04:11):
traffic, website search engineoptimization and I was missing
out on all this AI stuff.
So I started using tools thathad AI in it.
I started using tools that werecalled Jasper and Writer and
they were a little bit clunkycompared to when ChatGPT came
out so fast forward to Novemberof 2022.
And one of my students in mytrainings called me and she was
(04:33):
like, oh, you taught us Jasperand Ryder, but this is much
better.
And today's day number one, itjust came out.
You need to pay attention.
I was like yeah, yeah.
And then on day two she calledme back Did you do it?
I said no, I didn't.
She's like, no, stop everythingand do it.
So I stopped everything and Iwent to chat GPT and I said, wow
, you know what the other toolsthat I'm using, I'd have to
(04:58):
shift over here, make a headline, then write this, but this one
can keep going in sequentialorder, doing what I'm asking it
to do in the same train ofthought.
But the content that came outwasn't good.
It was generic, it was robotic,just like the other AI tools.
But I was like what if I couldtrain this tool to mimic me?
Would I ever have to writeanything, ever again, from
scratch?
So I locked myself up for twoweeks.
(05:19):
I canceled every appointmentthat I had and I just went all
in on just really learning howto master ChatGPT, and that made
all the difference just givingit focus for two weeks.
And then I had speaking eventsafter that and I called the
promoters and I said I am notspeaking on digital marketing
anymore, it's only AI.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The game has changed now I know.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And they were like you can speak on whatever you
want to speak on.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Alicia.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And I was like okay, cool, and that's really started
just getting me known in that AIspace, and then I just feel
like you know me and AI toolsare one we just blend well
together.
So I I just love it and what itcan do for entrepreneurs and
tech professionals and evensomebody who just needs a little
bit of help in their life, hasquestions about doing something.
It can help us with so manythings, not just the work aspect
of it, or the business aspectof it, but I use it every day in
my personal life as well.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, yeah.
So like I'm so grateful to hear, like the evolution, but also
how quick you've seen like theeventual right adoption uses for
it and then locking yourself upand making sure that you learn
it and put the work in and thentraining it and developing or
fine-tuning it so it can soundmore like you Give a round of
(06:30):
applause, thank you thank you,thank you.
That's why when I look at herprofile, it says Queen of AI.
Yes, for sure.
So where did that title comefrom, the Queen of AI?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Sure sure.
So I was speaking at an event.
It was in Baltimoretimoremaryland I was speaking, an
event and this was early 2023,maybe january, february 2023 and
I was showing them um, wedidn't have a name for it even
back then ai agents, but I wasshowing them myself and two ais
talking behind me yeah and theywere saying I'm jamal on
alicia's team, I'm tiffany onalicia's team and I was showing
(06:58):
them all this ai stuff and doinga workshop, and then a lady in
the audience her name was, uh,deborah ashley.
She was like you are the queenof ai and everybody in the room
was like you are, you are and itjust stuck from there.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Round of applause because let me tell you it's.
It's like eye-opening once youinteract with this technology
and you see what itscapabilities are.
Not just a surface level likehey, draft me an email and it
regurgitates that, but theability to be aware of a level
of consciousness.
And for me, as soon as Istarted to see that, I'm like yo
(07:31):
and all I got to do is use thisinterface called typing and
texting.
And then it gets to that Likehow was that, when you first
like start to encounter, andthen you were like really just
diving more into it, right,right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So when I first went to it and I asked it to do
something, were like really justdiving more into it, right.
So when I first went to it andI asked it to do something, like
the content that came back wascorrect, it wasn't that it was
incorrect, yeah, but it wasn'tme.
I'm fun, but chat gpt was notfun.
It was like unlocking thesecrets to the transformation of
.
I do not talk like that so Iwould start.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
My sentence was like hey, hey, hey, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
So I sat there and I was like, well, what if I could
train it to talk like me?
So I started feeding it mycontent and said you know, I've
hired a ghostwriter before andpaid thousands of dollars for
ghostwriters.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I was like all right.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
When I sat with the ghostwriter, I had to give her
my content.
We had to break down my writingstyle and tone.
I had to pay her thousands ofdollars to do that and it still
didn't sound as much like me asI wanted it to.
But I knew the process.
So I was like what if I didthat process, pretending that
ChatGPT was a ghostwriter?
sitting across the table andsaying okay, here's my content,
(08:37):
tell me about my writing styleand tone and what came back to
me.
I was like this is exactly likeme.
And then I said, okay, nowwrite the speech in that style
and tone that I just gave you.
And it did it.
And I was like boom.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That light bulb came on.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I was like this is fire.
This is exactly what I need.
Since that day, I've beentraining people how to do that
so that you're never putting outgeneric robotic writing.
So I used an AI detector todetect the content before.
So, before you know, when itsaid unlocking the
transformation, it came back as100% AI generated.
But then, after I wrote it asme, in my style and tone, it
(09:13):
came back and said this passesas human written content.
I was like this was written byChachiBT, but it's beating the
AI detectors saying it's humanwritten content.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, what?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's where we at right and that was uh a few
years ago it was 2022, yes, 2022, so about a year and a half ago
, but as fast as ai is iteratingthat's, it's a different era it
is so how do?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
you feel in terms of where ai is now, and then we're
definitely going to be talkingabout how we can make ai uh help
us as we're building wealth,and development.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But how do?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
you feel where AI is right now?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, so you know that really was the foundation
of me learning AI.
But it's still the foundationwhere I teach people like never
put out content, no matter what,with any AI tool without it
sounding like you no genericrobotic writing over here but
how AI has just developed soquickly since then.
I mean, I look at thedevelopments now and I'm like
(10:05):
this is 20 years of techdevelopments in two and a half.
It's developing so quickly andnow we're using things like AI
agents.
We're getting AI to do thingsfor us.
I used a tool that can orderInstacart for me.
Log into my account, takesomething, a recipe, order
everything, you see it and it'sdelivered to the door.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'm like this is the life that I like I know right.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I have a robot that vacuums my floors.
I'm all in on the living lifeto be more efficient and more
productive.
I want to use my time to dosomething else sweep my floor,
then order my groceries, andthen I'm looking at anything
that I need to get done in mypersonal life.
Like anytime I have a question,I look at how much time I can
(10:51):
save by using AI.
So here's a quick example.
I have a smart lock on my door.
You know, trying to be alltechnical Connected.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So I have a smart lock on my door and it kept
giving me on my phone that thebattery was low.
I'm like I don't know how tochange a battery and I don't
read the instruction book.
I'm sure you read all yourinstruction manuals book.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I'm sure you read all your instruction manuals.
That's the reason whyeverything's broken, because I
didn't read the instructions.
I'll tell you how to fix it allnow right.
Go ahead, give it to me.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So I took a picture with my phone, chatgpt, put the
picture in ChatGPT and I saidthis is my smart lock.
It's saying the battery's low.
How do I change the battery?
Tell me in the simplest form.
And so it said look on the twosides, push those in, pop it up.
I was like bam, popped it up.
And then now I'm looking at itand I'm like now what am I
supposed to do, instead oftrying to figure it out myself,
picture now what am I supposedto do.
It said see the tab at the topthat says battery pull, pull it
(11:42):
and I pulled it, put the newbatteries in, put it all back in
and I was like that saved me somuch time manual or I'd have to
go to YouTube.
But now ChatGPT just told me ina minute later my problem is
solved.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And so I went in my kitchen.
You know that kitchen draweryou have with all the
instructions.
Boom recycling bin.
I don't need it anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Threw it all out.
That's probably the same,because I usually throw all my
instructions out as soon as Iget them, like I'm done building
stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
That is hilarious, you'd be surprised at the things
that it can do.
So any problems that I've had.
I'm asking ChatGPT for theanswers and now I'm spending my
time doing other things and itsaves a huge amount of money.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh my gosh.
And the way that you'redescribing it is perfect to kind
of correlate to where we weretwo, three years ago, because we
would have to have gone online,google, type in what is the
version of this lock and go lookfor the version model, right,
type it in and then look for thepdf, right?
Oh, I don't have a pdf viewerinstalled.
Now, I gotta install that.
And now you open it up, or whatpage that'd be on, oh where,
(12:40):
like to now, where all I do isjust take a picture that's right
and then it doesn't search, ittells me and it tells me hey,
press these two little buttons.
Actually, you see that littletime right there, that's not
supposed to be there, becauseyou're supposed to take it off
when you first install it.
Pull that, pull that rightthat's amazing, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So I went to auto zone the other day and I wanted
to change my cabin air filtermyself.
I'm, you know yeah, and a woman, so I'm like all right, so now
I'm in auto zone and do you knowthey still have the book to
flip through to find your cabinair filter I'm thinking to to
myself I could help them so muchwith some AI.
But anyway.
So I'm in there and I'm likeI'm not going to flip through
the book.
So I take a picture of all ofthe cabin air filters and I was
(13:20):
like I have a Mustang Mach-E andI want a new cabin air filter
because I saw on TikTok that youshould change these, so I want
a new one.
And I said which one should Iget?
And it it actually told meshelf three in the middle, this
number on it, that's for yourmaki and the model pulled it off
the shelf, but I verify so Itook a picture again.
Did I get the right one?
(13:40):
Yes, you got the right one.
And it reiterated this is forthe mustang maki.
That's amazing I went to checkout while the other people are
at the counter asking they're inlike the line asking what they
need to get when I want to belike, just pull out chachi, yeah
you know, keep it moving.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's amazing and and this is the thing that's
that's really cool is the usecase for it, and I think our
community is going to start toreally like light bulb.
Come on, because that's where Ifeel like, in terms of when we
talk about gap and closing thatwealth gap is utilizing tools
like AI.
So how do you feel like that'sgoing to help us in terms of
being able to close that gap?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, so the thing is that I often call AI the great
equalizer, especially thatChatGPT now is free right.
You can use the free version.
I recommend the $20 a monthversion but you can use it for
free.
But back in the day, when I wasdoing marketing, if we'd want
to get these type of tools ordata from something, we would
(14:37):
have to pay a lot of money tobig firms to be able to do what
these tools are doing now andjust looking at what they're
capable of, we can compete ondifferent levels if we stop for
a minute and pay attention andgo all in on AI.
So as a small business owner,you can compete now with the
biggest of the marketing firmsbecause you tell AI.
(14:58):
So let's say, you're writing aproposal, right, you're writing
a proposal to get a contract.
And so you say, okay, I'mwriting a proposal responding to
this request for proposals andI want to fill out this contract
.
And then you can have chat.
Gpt say all right, well, whowould be the top three companies
who are going to respond tothis contract?
(15:18):
And chat, gpt will tell you andyou can say pretend that you are
that company and respond to thecontract.
I want to see how that companywould respond to the contract.
And you're like what in theworld?
And then you're like now here'smy company information.
Keeping that in mind, respondas my company and it will
respond to that contract,thinking about things that you
never thought.
And then you ask it thequestion if I were to win this
(15:40):
contract, what information doyou need to know from me in
order to rewrite the contract ina way that it would win?
And you just keep working withAI to say am I going to win now,
what's my grade?
Pretend that you are the twopeople that are reviewing this
contract, what grade would yougive me?
And it's going to say a, c andyou say, well, how do I get to a
B, how do I get to an A?
(16:01):
And it will just keep givingyou the information so you can
win, so you can win.
So you really need to look atthe fact that we can compete now
on different levels and we canshow up on different levels and
what we thought we needed tohire maybe a copywriter for or a
business coach for, we can nowsay well, if you know how to use
it correctly, chatgpt can be mycopywriter and my business
(16:24):
coach.
I don't need a graphic designer, I can use Midjourney or
Ideogram, so now we can havecomplete teams that we thought
we needed, with AI just being aone-person show.
So it's a different space forus and what we need to think
about is, as a community, payingattention to it and not living
in that place of fear that youget left behind, because I can
(16:47):
tell you, I teach incorporations and government
agencies and I upskill theiremployees and you're hearing
time and time again they arelaying off people who do not
have AI skills or who do notwant to upskill themselves to
hire people who do yeah so ifyou want to make yourself
future-proof, you better getinto AI facts and if you're a
business owner, I mean level up
Speaker 2 (17:09):
yeah, level up because you need to yeah, we say
that on our show all the time.
It's not going to be ai thatsteals your job.
It's going to be the personthat uses ai, that's raymond,
don't call him ray ray he's inthe cut right now but, uh, one
thing that I think, uh, youmentioned briefly, um and
definitely in terms of closingthe wealth gap I think that's a
great avenue and pathway interms of like, uh, working
(17:32):
towards things that you didn'tthink you had access to before.
Now, ai is that force multiplierthat's giving you access, so
that you can get those biggercontracts.
Now we're going to talk more AI, ai stuff.
Ai agents is the next iteration.
In error, they say that 2025 isthe year of AI agents.
So tell us a little bit aboutAI agents.
And where do you see?
Yeah, sure, so tell us a littlebit about AI agents and where
do you see?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, sure.
So where do we even start?
Some of the demonstrations Iwas showing today here at the
Blackwell Summit, I showed ademonstration of how we use an
interactive AI agent, and thisis an AI agent that is in a
human form but is AI, and youcan program it to do whatever
the task is.
(18:12):
So, we have an AI agent on ourteam, right, she's an AI staff
member called Angelina and I'vetrained her to be a translator
doing live translation for me,so she gets on a Zoom call with
me.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Shout out to Jules also.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
She gets on a Zoom call with me and, as I'm
speaking in English, if I sayokay, you're going to translate
into Dutch.
she says, okay, I'm ready,because this is the prompt
behind the scenes and then Istart talking and she does the
translation for me and then ifsomebody has a question she
knows the cue questions.
I say whenever I ask for aquestion, they're going to speak
to you in Dutch and youtranslate it to me in English
(18:50):
and then give them the answerI'm global.
Now we're so much more globaland we're doing bigger things,
because where I would have said,you know, I'm not, I'm not sure
.
This is going to be a lot ofwork.
I got to find a translator.
It's hard to do it on Zoom.
I got to make sure they'reavailable and that there's a
high cost to it.
Now I'm just bringing Angelina.
(19:11):
She's ready to work whenever.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I say with zero notice.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I say you ready to do some translation?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Zero notice, for sure I say you ready to do some
translation?
I am ready.
Let's get started with language.
The GPUs have been running here.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
We've been waiting right, I know right, and I
showed today as well how Icreated an AI agent of myself
and so I AI'd myself and so Ican send her.
We call her AI Alicia.
I can send her to any Zoom calland on Zoom she will answer
your questions.
She Zoom call and on Zoom, shewill answer your questions.
She will respond based on theknowledge base that I've
(19:42):
uploaded to her, and the exampleI gave on stage was copywriting
frameworks, because that's in abook that I upload ChatGPT what
copywriting frameworks can actas.
So she can answer all thosequestions.
So the software is able to sendthat AI agent out to a thousand
Zoom calls at the exact sametime.
Wow.
So now there's multipliedyourself a thousand times.
I know there's themultiplication effect and so she
(20:03):
can take notes for me whateverhappened on that Zoom call, send
it back over.
She can generate leads on thatZoom call, send people to my
book, send them to the salespage wherever you know the call
to action is.
So now, when we start to thinkabout how we can really you said
it multiply ourselves.
This is the multiplicationeffect with.
AI agents making us moreproductive, making us more
(20:23):
efficient, and so there's somany different types of AI
agents.
We have an AI agent thatanswers our phone for us.
There we go so it's using it inso many different ways.
That saves us money andresources and time, and then it
gives a better experience forthe customer as well.
Nobody wants to call my phone.
I'm here right now.
I'm not gonna answer my phone.
Yeah, but monica, our ai agent,will yeah, anytime sound very
(20:45):
good.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I can't even tell it who is this exactly yeah, that's
amazing because I think the the, the evolution of ai and the
use case for it, agents isopening up that door for us, and
I think that's where adoptionis going to even be, you know,
more quicker, especiallyorganization, customer service,
interacting, but using them totheir full potential, because
(21:07):
we're only at the beginningwe're only at the beginning of
it, right, amazing amazing work.
So the last thing I want to askyou about, because we are a
little bit over time- but thisis a great conversation.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You got another minute.
I I do, of course.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
AGI, so AGI.
What do you think about AGI andits forthcoming?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, I mean, who's not excited?
Well, I guess not.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
But I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I'm excited about it.
I mean the least amount of workthat I can do and AI can do for
me.
It just makes it.
So let me give you an examplewith our business.
As we started using AI, youknow our business doubled in
half the year, right.
And then now we're using agentsand AGI and now our business
(21:50):
double.
You know our business is goingto quadruple this year, so the
double is in half the time.
Can you imagine like you justkeep using more and more AI?
Well, I can imagine, because Ilike business.
You keep using more and more ofAI doing the work for you.
Let's just say that foreverybody like AI doing the work
for you, the key really is inthe programming and the
(22:12):
prompting and really trainingwhichever tool you decide to use
to be able to do these tasksfor you without you in the loop.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And then you know, making sure that everything's
running smoothly.
To just take things to the nextlevel, yeah.
I mean it's the excitementbehind all of it is just it's
overwhelming, I think, for a lotof people.
But I always tell people juststart simple, just start simple.
Start with just training ChachiPT to write like you, and then
(22:42):
you're going to move up to youknow, doing things with
autonomous agents.
You're going to move up, youknow.
Just keep moving up the ladder,but start somewhere and start
today, don't start tomorrow.
Start today because the futureis now, it's here, it's meant
for you to use.
Start today because the futureis now, it's here, it's meant
for you to use, and if you don'tuse it, then, like you just
said, you're going to bereplaced by someone who is using
(23:05):
it.
And so think of anything thatyou have in your life that you
need to fix, overcome, take tothe next level, grow, scale and
multiply, and then say how can Iuse AI to do those things?
And that's where you'll win.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Oh, my God, Alicia.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Thank you so much for that.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Definitely Give her another Jim Jim Jim and a round
of applause for sure Anyquestions Dean, Any last
questions you have?
No, she answered it all for me,people who use AI.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're looking at Raymond.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So, in terms of how people can find you and
definitely follow along, let usknow, let the audience know, how
to get connected with you, yeah, so I'm pretty easy to find on
social media.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
