Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I mean twenty twenty two chat GPT launches November of
twenty two.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
And you say, I'm gonna close my doors, shut down
for two weeks and I am gonna lock myself in
and learn AI. This is the most fascinating thing for
me in the season of my life, right AI.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
I always say it's AI for the win, like I
want to win, and so what I want to win
at I'm gonna use artificial intelligence to help me. And
we think about how our lives have progressed with our
dishwashers or washing machines. Are you know technology where we're
driving cars right now instead of horse and buggy. You know,
AI is just the next revolution that we're in.

Speaker 1 (00:38):

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Thank you, Brandy. I'm so excited to be here talking
about AI.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh chat baby, let me say this, Alicia, Honey, then
gave me a AI episode. Okay, we talking before the
show started. She said, I prep for you using AI.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Of course I did. Of course I did.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, I mean, I'm so excited. You and I met
at a luncheon a few months back and we sat
next to each other at the table and you were like, oh,
I do AI, and I'm like okay.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Then you said I'm on the panel.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Then when you got up on the panel, I said, oh,
she got to come.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
On the show.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I was like, there is when we hear these conversations
of AI, we don't see women who look like us,
who are at the forefront of this conversation.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
And so I love to always empower us, especially women,
to say, you know what, you need to be all
in on AI if you really want to be more productive,
more efficient, grow a scale like never before.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I mean twenty twenty two chat GPT launches November of
twenty two.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
And you say I'm going to close my doors, shut
down for two weeks and I am going to lock
myself in and learn AI.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
I did.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
And so when I did that, I found that when
I first went on CHATCHYBT that the results were very generic.
And this is when a lot of people gave up.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, Like, you go.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
And you type into chatchabt, you get back something very generic,
or you're unimpressed with it and you quit. But I
kept going and said, well, what if I could turn
CHATCHYBT into my ghostwriter?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
What if I could turn it into my coach? What
if I could?

Speaker 3 (03:46):
So I started really diving in and playing around with
it until I got to the point where I said,
that's it. Everything's changed. My business has completely changed. I'm
I'm an AI consultant. Now I'm going all in and
teaching entrepreneurs and the workforce how we can really leverage
this tool.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I mean you said you were sitting at a at
a conference as you were speaking at twenty fifteen, Yes,
and some young teenageeen years old gets up, right, it
uses this whole AI tool and you were like, yo,
what is happening right, I'm behind Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
It was a Walmart Tech Live which was the event.
So I'm the second speaker, the first one fifteen years old,
and he is talking about IBM Watson and he shows
us how in twenty eleven, IBM Watson, an AI tool,
beat the nation's best Jeopardy Champions at a game of Jeopardy,
and I see how this computer is interacting as if

(04:42):
it is human and answering the questions, and it wins
a million dollars. Never know what they did with a
million dollars, but IBM Watson won a million dollars. So
I became so interested in artificial intelligence and I started
using the early AI tools. But chat GPT really changed
everything for me.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
I mean chat GBT.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I did not learn about chad GPT until twenty twenty three,
so a year after it had already been out in
the world. You were already a consultant at this point.
And I learned about chad GBT. A friend of mine
who's in tech was like, Brandy, you're not you haven't
used chat GPT yet.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
And I'm like, no, what is that right? And he
tells me about it.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
I literally I go on to my laptop and I
was like, Yo, if I had this in school, I
would have been come on, I would have been a killer.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Come on, listen.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
I wouldn't have been out there flucking and withdrawing them classes.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
I mean, so before we talk about how to prompt it,
before we talk about how do we scale our business.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I want you to bust the myth because it's a.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Whole lot of people before we get down this rabbit
hole of chat and all the other forms. I mean,
we got clawed, we got perplexity, we got deep sea,
we got.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
All the things.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Right, there are some of y'all out here. I already
know you got your bibble in one hand and you're scared.
You're sitting up here like, Lord, I'm not doing no
chet GBT.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
That's the devil, right, that's demonic. What would you say?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Right?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Here's the thing. It's about progress. It's about the revolution
that we're in right now. And we've been through plenty
of industrial revolutions. And when someone tells me that, it
feels like they're cheating or chatgy BT is evil or
AI is evil. I asked them, did you use your
washing machine this week? Did you have you use your
washing machine this week?

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Well, why would you do that? Because you're supposed to
wash your clothes by hand?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Right?

Speaker 3 (06:34):
If you don't want to use the technology and the progress,
where's your washboard?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
So we think.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
About how our lives have progressed with our dishwashers or
washing machines, are you know technology, we're driving cars right
now instead of horse and buggy. You know, AI is
just the next revolution that we're in. We're in the
AI revolution right now. And for many people it can
be scary, and there are things with artificial intelligen that

(07:01):
are legit to fear, you know, the voice cloning, the
so but what we need to do is we need
to be educated about what is possible with AI, what
we need to be aware of with artificial intelligence.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
So for the people that have a lot of fear.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I say, well this, you know, AI is just advancing
every day. Today is the worst that AI technology will
ever be right now, It's progressing every millisecond while this
show is airing. Right now, there's so much advancements in AI.
So you have to pay attention to it. There's no well,
maybe I'll pay attention to it, or I can ignore

(07:40):
it for now. No, you need to pay attention to
it and then see how you can leverage it. This
is the real key. It's like, well, what does it
mean to me? And when we figure out like what
it means to you and how you can take advantage
of artificial intelligence, that's when the fear becomes Oh, I
can do that right. And so as an example, I

(08:01):
used to teach Sunday school and AI would help me
prep my lessons.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'd make that not helping you with your Sunday school lesson.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Absolutely because now I can dive deeper into it and
it's helping me by being a coach and a study
guide for me. So it helps me in every aspect
of our lives as we think about how we can
leverage it. But you have to see, all right, how
is it relevant to me? How can I leverage it
and use it?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I was recently at a summit in Las Vegas, Okay,
and there was a senior vice president from Cisco, and
all of the sessions were really geared around AI, I
mean optimization, implementations, all these different ways. And what she
said on that stage was really really powerful because she said,

(08:50):
people keep saying, oh my god, AI is going to
take our jobs. It's taking jobs. And what she said
on this stage has stuck with me. She said, AI
is going to take your job. She said, the person
who knows how to use AI is going to take
your job.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Weren't a time right now where you need to level up.
Everyone needs to level up. So we always think about
the fact that all right AI. You know, if you're
using AI, you are going to become more productive and
more efficient. So if you're interviewing for a job, two
people are interviewing for a job, and one person says,

(09:27):
you know what, I can complete that task in fourteen
minutes because using AI, I do my market research, I
do this, this, this, And the other person says it
would take me about three days to complete that task.
So now, and they're not talking about any of the
tools that they're using, you're really now listening to the
person who can complete it in fourteen minutes. So it's
about being more productive and efficient. In our business, we

(09:50):
have a policy called AI first, so every person, every
staff member in our business needs to use an AI
tool to complete their task. Like, look and see what
AI tool you can use to complete the task as
you're doing things for me and for the business and
for our clients, because.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
We need you to be more productive and more efficient.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
That so we're encouraging a lot of entrepreneurs and corporations
to say, well, think about an AI first policy so
that you do become more efficient, and it's allowed us
to scale so quickly and It makes for a happier.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Workforce too, Alicia. You just they heard it first. The
team's sitting behind these cameras. They have heard at first.
We now have AI first policy. Go ahead and just
run the tape back. Go ahead and clock the tea.
Listen AI first policy, because I think that that's so
good because it allows you to work smarter, not harder.

(10:49):
It allows you to get other ideas that you may
not have thought about, correct see things in a way
that you may not have seen them before. And I
think that that's the tool that people are missing when
they're saying I won't touch AI right.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
And when you think about let's talk about this episode.
So after this episode, you know, airs we've got the
recording of the episode, I'm going to put it into
a tool called Opus clip, and then that tool will
break it into you know, maybe twenty different segments that
I can put up on social media to promote this episode. Now,
to make twenty two clips of an hour long episode

(11:23):
would have taken my girl that does it about four
days in the past, but it's gonna take Opus seven
minutes or less to make the same twenty two videos
and captions. It's going to give you captions. It's gonna
give you, you know, the context for it. It's going
to tell you how likely which video is to go
viral in seven minutes versus four days. So now that

(11:45):
same girl that used to do it, she's the one
that will actually do it in opus download the videos.
But her production time to get something done has now
dramatically just been cut from four days to seven minutes,
so she can do more to really get our business ahead.
And this is how you need to think about AI
as you're scaling it yourself or as your team members

(12:07):
are using it.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
I mean the thing.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
About this, I watched you on Neo Davis's show, and
I love Neo. He's a friend of the show he's
been on. And when I watched you, because you came
back twice like you were so good, they were like,
we need to bring her back.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
When you came back, you did. You literally did a demo.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
For the whole episode, plugged up your laptop and did
this very thing that you're talking about. You said, look,
we're gonna do We just got thirty seven clips right
here right now, just from what we've done so far.
Right then you were able to show us how it works.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
In Canva.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
You would show us how to work in so many
different platforms and to generate so many different things. I
think that people have to retrain their brains to see
this in a different way of how they can become
more efficient and effective.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Right, and myself, as a speaker and a trainer on AI,
what I love to do is actually show people like,
once you see how you can do something, then you're like, oh,
now I see when you're talking about this AI stuff.
It isn't that evil. It's just helping me to get
a task done. I'm looking at it as an assistant.
So I have to just get on my laptop and say,

(13:17):
look what I was able to do.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Alicia, you want to do that?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
When you and not y'all, Alicia and I sat at
the table together, you gave me one program that I
have used since the day I meant you okay Gamma
right to do slides because I was always like, oh hell,
I cannot sit down and do no slides. It's gonna
take me all day and be all night trying to
play DIY graphic designer all some slides for a presentation.

(13:44):
You told me about Gamma that day at that luncheon
yep and game changer.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
I am now on a paid version.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I am now like I've used it to produce a
course like all of the things.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
There you go, there you go. I mean it's something
that I use almost every day to create presentations courses,
and I've used it to create presentations for audience's highest
level of government, education and kids. And so when you
start to think about and the tool is Gamma dot App.
But when you start to think about these tools, then
you're saying, all right, there's a tool for this. I

(14:17):
need to create presentations. And for me to create a
PowerPoint presentation from scratch, to create the content, to outline it,
and then to get graphics done, I hire somebody else
to do graphics and Gamma can do it all. Then
you're saying to yourself, now I'm creating a PowerPoint in
thirty seconds.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
As opposed to three days.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
And sometimes you just don't even want to do it right,
and you're like, oh, I don't really want to create
that course, but now I can create it using these
AI tools. So now, as creators, you know our audience
is able to get more from us because we're creating
at a different level. And then there's less frustration in
that creation. When you create a PowerPoint presentation like that,

(14:57):
you're excited instead of frustrated that it's taking you three days.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
I mean, dive into this creator because we live in
this creator economy, we live in this creator culture.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Everything is about.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
If you don't have a podcast, if you don't have
you're you're going to be left behind. Right, So, how
can creators, especially these are people who may be new
to the space. They're trying to create a new podcast,
maybe they're trying to get into digital product development, all
of these things. How can they use these tools to
scale their business?

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Right?

Speaker 3 (15:28):
So, the first thing they could do is go to
chat ept or claud just any of the AI tools.
Just sign up for a free account and then start
off by training it. Tell it who you are and
what the goal is. So you would say something like
act as a professional business coach who has twenty years
of experience in helping content creators to go from zero

(15:50):
to a million dollars in their first twelve months, and
give me a game plan for taking my content creation
to the next level. I'd like to create a digital
course and an ebook. What information do you need from
me or to know about me to help me create
my game plan, and then chatgept will come back and
ask you ten questions. Answer those ten questions, I push

(16:12):
the dictate button and I just talk to chat GPT,
answer those ten questions, and it will give you a
game plan on what you could do. And then you
can ask for revisions and say, how can I use
artificial intelligence tools like chat gypt, Gamma, recommend other tools
to really be more productive and efficient. It will rewrite
your game plan, integrating AI into everything, and then you

(16:35):
follow your game plan and you say, well, what do
I need to do every month? What do I need
to do every week? Give me a daily game plan
and you follow that game plan for the win.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I mean you've even talked about breaking it down to
it really being your task manager.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Absolutely, like it.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Can create your daily task based on your calendar, your schedule,
the things that you have going on.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
And so now when you really start to think about efficiency,
you're saying, how can I save more time, be more
efficient and also create more, produce more, and then how
can I use artificial intelligence to do that? So you
think about things that you do every day and how
artificial intelligence can help you with that. So zoom meetings

(17:19):
are something I do every day, but I'm always bringing
on now an AI assistant like Fireflies or Honor. There's
a few of those that are my note takers for
the session. And then you can program it to create summaries,
turn those summaries into audio, send them to your email
so that I can recap my notes. Or there's a
tool that I love. It's called rewind dot ai. So

(17:41):
just like rewind dot ai, and what it does is
I have it up on my computer and it documents
everything that I do through the day. Because sometimes Brandy,
I do so much I cannot remember. So then I
go back to the tool and I can just scroll
through my day and it shows everything that I've done
on my computer. It can record the zoom me give
me summaries.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
It sound like a Cheetah's tool. It sound like somebody
go get caught up.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
I know.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
So then you can go back and forth and then
I was.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
And then you can go to it and actually search
it and say, when I was researching the Brandy Harvey
Show and everything about Brandy, take me back to that,
and it's like, gig you were on her YouTube it
It'll take me back to what I was.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Doing and what I was looking at on your YouTube.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
I mean, I want you to say, because before we
even got on on recording, before we started the cameras,
you talked about how you prepped for this interview, and
you said, I put in everything you know about your show.
I said, tell me everything I need to know, and
it created your own podcast episode for you to listen

(18:47):
to to prepare to sit ere.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
It did, Yeah, it did.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
So I took all the research she did research on
perplexity dot AI or CHATCHYBT, you know, turn it into
a document and I uploaded it to Google's tool called
notebook LM right, you can use the free version, and
I uploaded there and I asked it to turn it
into an audio podcast. So what happens is it takes

(19:10):
all the information about the show and the document that
I gave it, and it turns it into a conversation
between two AI people now talking about the show. And
what it dove into was important information about Brandy, information
about Alicia. They're having a conversation about both of us
and how I can really connect with you by the

(19:33):
things that are important to you. So it starts telling
me the things that are important to you, some of
the things that I should talk about. I gave it
the questions that you sent over, so it's like prepping
me on how to answer the questions based on what's
important to you and things that you've talked.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
About before in the past.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
So I listened to it this morning as I'm exercising
prepping for this show. So now I've got it in
my ears, which is one of the ways that I
like to learn is to listen. So now I'm listening
to a conversation about how I can really make sure
that I show up good on the show.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I mean, I think we're walking into a space that
if you are not great, it is because you are
making a conscious effort not to be great.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
And you're saying no to AI because AI I always say,
it's AI for the win, like I want to win,
and yeah, so what I want to win at I'm
going to use artificial intelligence to help me. For example,
my sister's daughter, Elena, she's six years old, and she
wants to be a track star.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
The girl wants to be a track star, so I
love that.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
So my sister Lorette recorded her at her last track
meet and uploaded it into chatchipt and asked Chatchypt to
act as a track coach and to analyze her running.
And she told Chatchpt, it's the girl in the pink shorts.
And when you hear what Chatchypt said and the advice

(20:52):
that it gave about her, start about her, finish about
her form, you'd be blown away. So it's it's AI
for the win in everything that we do.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
That is so good.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'm like literally thinking about my nephew because he's gonna
be nine. He is like basketball is life, okay, And
that's just I mean, he works with trainers, all of
the things. His father started a whole basketball program really
behind him. And that is a game changer for coaches, right,
for coaches, for trainers.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Because now if you think about your business, and this
is just as we're talking, this is what's coming to me,
think of your business as a personal trainer.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
If you have a business as a personal trainer, you
can now put your clients photos, you can put the
videos of your clients in How can I help maximize
my client? They want to lose belly, fat, tone legs,
you know, get tighter arms, bigger, latt shoulders, whatever, right,
what are some key things I should put into their
nutrition plan? All of these things that we're not even

(21:56):
thinking about that can really enhance us overall.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
In every industry.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
So we're talking about coaches and athletes, personal trainers, teachers.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
It's in every industry.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Last night I spoke to a group of real estate
investors about how real estate investors can use AI and
the different things that they didn't think about. And we
talked about doing renovations and just having CHATCHYPT in your
pocket to be able to take a picture of something
that's wrong in a property and chat Gypt will tell
you how to fix it, who to hire, what to

(22:27):
buy it, lows and home depot, all these different things,
and then click the link, click the link, and then
just even how to use it in your personal life.
Take a picture of your refrigerator, your freezer, your pantry,
and then just say, help me create a recipe for tonight,
and it needs to be I need to create it
in under thirty minutes, and then I need to make

(22:48):
sure that it's for a family four and then it
will create your recipe. But what I love about it
is at the end, you say, and what should the
final plate look like? And it will show you what
your plate should look like if you follow the recipe.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
I mean, you said you did this even with a smoothie,
just a simple smoothie recipe. You said, I have, these
are the ingredients that I have. I want something that
tastes good, that's good and healthy for me. Create the recipe.
That's right, and he said it was tasty.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Absolutely, absolutely, So we think about all right, Artificial intelligence
is not just for us in our professional life, which
is what a lot of people think about. It's like, Okay,
I've got to use it at work or use it
in my business. No, it's also for our personal lives,
for our family life, for there's just so many use
cases for it. I'm always telling people on your phone,

(23:34):
put chat, GPT, perplexity, Canva, and really look at how
you can use these apps to help you with so
much in your life.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
I mean, I download a Perplexity after watching one of
your episodes. This is some maybe like a month ago. Okay,
I watched you because you came up on my feed
and I was like, okay, we'll let me see what
at least you're.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
Talking about today.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
What new tool do I need in my tool kid,
and you talked about complexity.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
You use it over Google, I do.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
I don't use Google anymore. Google is Googling is dead.
It's perplexity. Now, I say hard to hear first. Googling
is dead. And here's the reason why. With perplexity. So
if you put something into perplexity, you're doing a search
with perplexity. So for the real estate investors, I asked
for property in a certain zip code that would be
perfect for a real estate investment, a buy and hold

(24:25):
or a fix and flip, and so it in searching
for the answer to this, it did simultaneously for different searches.
So it took my ask and broke it up into
different searches, which means if we would have gone to Google,
we would have had to type in four different things.
So perplexity is saying, Okay, she's asking this, but she

(24:46):
probably means this and wants this and needs this as well.
So we'll put all of this into a search and
then it gets all of the sources, but it gives
you an answer. So for Google, if I would have
googled it, I would have had to have looked and
come up with my own answer.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Because now you got to go through the site, say
look at things.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
I mean, Google does have their AI where they're kind
of summarizing things, but it's nothing like Perplexity giving you
an answer. So Perplexity gives you the answer, and then
it gives you the sources where it got all this information,
and then it also lets you deep dive. When you're done,
it's like, here's five more things you should probably also research,
and you just press this plus button and it just

(25:25):
keeps going into a deeper dive. But the answer that
it gives you is so backed up by sources.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
It's so perplex.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
It saves you so much time that you that you
won't Google again after you use Perplexity for a search.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
I am this is the most fascinating thing for me
in the season of my life, right AI.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
I've gone to summits.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
I go to conferences all the time, anything tech driven,
I go to it. And anytime they're talking about AI,
I'm front row, right, I'm in the room. Because I
think it goes back to I remember this moment when
I was sixteen years old, Alicia, I have to tell you, Okay, I.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Was sixteen years old.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
I was at an NAACP Youth and College Division conference
in New York, Okay. And there was a panel discussion
with a group of women on this panel and so
many of the kids. We were going to try to
talk to these you know, these are like those you know,
young executives are popping and.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
You're like, oh my god, I just need to know
this person.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
And I went up to the little days said they
were sitting in and the lady said to me, she said,
I was sixteen years old. I will never forget this.
She said, what's your email? She was like, send me
an email. And I was like, oh, I don't have
an email. And she said, if you don't have an email,
you can't even talk to me.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Now. I was sixteen, I said, did she she just
I was so I was so hurt, Like I was like,
what what do you mean, give me your phone number.
I will call you on the phone. She was like,
if you don't have an email, I can't even talk
to you. Now.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
This is when I was sixteen, right, So this is
like the beginning of like email everybody starting it was
just kind of going.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
You really only kind.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Of had an email account if you took the computer
science class in high school. I left that day and
got me a Yahoo email account and I never look back. Wow,
but I remember that moment of if you don't even
have an email, you can't talk to me. And we
are in this moment in time where those people who

(27:31):
thought you don't need no email, everybody gonna still be
sending sending post notes and using the post office.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
And now we got post office of close and left
and right.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
This is that moment of if you're not using this,
I can't even talk to you. That's right.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
We're in the AI revolution, right, and we might.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Still be at the beginning stages, but it's coming fast,
and it's growing fast, and the advancements are happening so fast.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
You're still surprised.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
By how many people don't have chat, GPT account, have
never explored AI. But because to us, it's like the internet. Right,
So when the Internet came, there still were people who
were slow to get on board and fearful of it slow.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
But where are they now? They're on the Internet.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
They're on the Internet.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I mean I literally took a poll in the gym
one morning and it's an array of ages to twenty
somethings all the way up to the sixty somethings even
seventy something's in the gym in the morning. And I
asked them, and I said, how many of y'all are
using chat, GPT or like some sort of AI every day?
And a lot of them were like, no, no, I

(28:37):
don't use it. And then the college students like, well,
I only use it in school, right, And I was
like wait, and then her mom was like, no, I
use it every day, right, And I'm just like I said, y'all,
if y'all are not using some form of AI, you
are behind the eight ball.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
That's right, yes, right, And it is such a small
percentage if you use your use case as an example,
might have been ten percent or less of the people
that you interviewed are actually using it. And even that
lady probably does not know how to use it to
its full power, right, and so she might just be
tapping on the surface.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Because I train all the time.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Almost every day I'm training some group on artificial intelligence,
and you'll be surprised by the people that don't know
anything about it. I'm always surprised. I have to start
at the beginning the foundation I teach people. When I
teach my foundational training that you have to train the
tool first. So it's about not asking it to do
something before you train it. It starts off with training it.

(29:36):
Who are you, what are you doing for me? We're
training it, and then we ask it to do something
for us, and then we dig deeper because the first
response that you get back, Brandy, no matter how good
it is, it can always do better. So you say,
I love the sales copy you just wrote, but make
it more persuasive, you know, turn up the persuasiveness, and
when it makes the rewrite, you're like, look at that.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
So we dig deeper the content, and then we can
also get additional material from it. So chat Gypt is
an example, or Claude they make. It makes great tables,
pie charts, gant charts, great images.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah right now, sometimes images be a little like okay,
that's very AI generated, right right.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Yeah, you got to work through something you do have
to work through. Yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
So for the person who's listening, who has one hour,
I got one hour a week. I want to learn
something new about this AI. I'm trying to give my
skills up. What would you tell them to do? As
far as the training of it.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Right, I would tell them to go to chat e
EPT and say I would like for you to act
as my AI trainer and integration coach. And I only
have one hour a day to spend I mean one
hour a week to spend learning artificial intelligence. What information
do you need to know about me to create a
schedule and tell me what how I should spend my

(30:56):
time when it comes to AI. So it's going to
ask you questions like what do you do in your
professional career?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Or are you an entrepreneur? What are your passions?

Speaker 3 (31:04):
You answer those questions and it will give you a
personalized learning plan of how you can tackle AI. And
then it will give you this week, let's tackle Google
Gemini and here are four things to do. The only
thing that I would say is that, because AI is
updating so frequently, go back to that same chat and say, okay,
what should I learn this week based on the new

(31:26):
advances in AI? So you use AI to be your
AI coach to help you learn AI and tell you
which AI tools to use, and then your AI for.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
The win because it's changing every I mean weriically daily.
Because when I was at that same summit I talked
about earlier The SVP also mentioned how she sat down
with the founder of Chat and Chat was like, I mean,
it's we can't even plan.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
Three weeks out.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Like we're in such a place where we're constantly the
needle was moving so frequently. That's right, that we can
even plan for three weeks out.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Always, when I think, oh, this is coming in the
next five years, it's already here. Now, I start to
say we're moving at the speed of AI. Instead of
the speed of light. We're moving at the speed of AI.
The advancements are so quick and so frequent that it's
exciting for someone who like me, who is an AI coach, consultant,
and integrator, because they are moving so fast, but we

(32:25):
have to keep up with it. I have someone on
my team whose sole role is every morning meeting with
the team and talking about the latest advancements that happened
in the last twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
So that is his role.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
He's every morning he's teaching us what are the latest advancements,
what are the latest tools, what's coming out of different
countries so that we can keep up with it.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
So what countries are really moving fast.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Right at this.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
We know China is moving fast at this. We're seeing
France with their tools as well. They've got some great tools.
And I will say that America we are very competitive
when it comes to A so we are in it
to win it, right, We're running hard when it comes
to artificial intelligence. So UAE is also doing some great
things with AI. So and we're seeing other countries like Singapore.

(33:15):
I love what they're doing with They have like grants
in certain programs for people who want to learn AI
where the government will help them to fund their classes,
and they've got classes in schools.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
So we're seeing all over the world.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
The integration of AI into the education system is one
of the things that we're really keeping our eyes open
for and paying attention to, is how how these other
countries are saying, look, these kids need to know AI
and learn it at this age and it's going to
be integrated into the school.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
I saw I saw a China by six years old. Yeah,
that the students have to be learning AI integration by
six years old. I just recently saw Calice in an
interview who has her children being trained in Kenya by
AI teacher. Right, And so when we're thinking about how

(34:06):
our children are going to have to be advanced in this.
We can't run from this. We have to start implementing
much earlier.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
We do, and we when we think about our children,
we think also about how they can wrap their head
around AI and what they love about it. So my
niece Elena, she is misfashioned and wants to be different at.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Six years old.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
So when she is in school, she asked me, She's like,
how can I get leggings that no one else has?
Because you know, mommy's buying the leggings that everyone else has.
So I said, well, what do you want on your leggings?
And she said, I want my name on it and
cats and very colorful. So so we sat down together
and created the images.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
And she approved them.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
She told me what she wanted and I went to
printify dot com uploaded the designs and then a week
later she gets the leggings, cats on it, her name
on it. She goes to school and says, everybody likes
my leggings and I told them that I made them myself.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
First of all, Auntie for the wind.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Okay, let's just go ahead and say that you want
Auntie at a Year Award.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and so,
but it was coming down to her level. And then
I explained to her how the images that we created,
the cats that we created, aren't anywhere on the internet.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
These are based on what she told me.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
She wanted the cats to look like they're pink and
orange cats and stuff, you know. And so she's starting
to understand that and then telling me, well, now I
want you to do this and do that. And when
she was younger, we used to create coloring pages for her.
So I'd be on a zoom with my sister and
she's like, I would like an elephant riding a bike

(35:46):
in Florida. So I would create the image, send it
to my sister. My sister would print it on the computer,
give it to her, and she would see the exact image,
the elephant riding the bike in Florida, palm trees all around.
And I would tell her it was create with artificial intelligence.
I told a software tool which you wanted, and it
created it for you. And then the only problem is

(36:08):
she's like, Okay, now create this, now create this.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
So we're always creating, but that's how they're but.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
That's how they learn.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
It is I mean, imagine if we had this tool
when we were growing on it, right, I mean, the
world would just be our oyster. But and it still
is though, because no matter the age, you're letting us
know that there's an opportunity for us in this space.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
There is.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
And when you say no matter the age, it's from
kids to I mean, we have a lot of students
in our program who are retirees and they're they're fascinated
by artificial intelligence and so they're either in to learn
for their themselves or they started consulting businesses based on
their past work experience and connecting it with artificial intelligence,

(36:51):
and their brains are on fire. A lot of people
say that AI will take away our creativity, we won't
be as creative anymore. But here's the thing. When you
really know how to use artificial intelligence, you can see
your creativity become a reality. And for people who've had ideas,
people who have passion. You're telling me, you're telling my niece,
You're telling her when she's four, that she can see

(37:13):
her vision for an elephant riding a bike in Florida
come to reality as a coloring book page. Yeah, just
because you have the idea so now we can go
from idea to execution so quickly when you know how
to use AI. I want to create a course, you're
telling me, I can go to Gamma Dot app and
type in one sentence about the course. I want to

(37:34):
create the three keys to entrepreneurial success in twenty twenty
five with artificial intelligence. Type that in press go, and
it will create my whole PowerPoint presentation.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
The image is the outline.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
It's so real, right, and so it can take us
from idea to execution so quickly and take our creativity
to a next level. So I challenge anyone who says
it's here to take away our creativity. It depends on
the person. Like personally, we're saying, Okay, we want to
go to the next level. We want to upskill ourselves.
We want to have our dreams and our passions come

(38:07):
to fruition. And there's an AI tool out there that
can make that happen for you.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
Yeah, there's an AI tool that can make it happen.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
What are the top three essential AI tools that you
would have? I feel like you've already named them.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, I mean I would say for it depends on
what industry you're in. And what passion you're in. But
generally speaking, I love chatch Ebt. I love the app
it's on my phone. I also like Claude. So those
are two great ones for content creation. We talked about
Gamma when it comes to presentations. That's a really great
tool for us to use for our presentations. And then

(38:40):
the list after that, I would say Hagen is also
one of my favorite as a trainer, So it's at
Haygen dot com h E y G e N because
it allows you to use interactive avatars and to some
of my social media content where I'm doing training is
not me, like me sitting in front of the camera recording,

(39:03):
it's my Haygen avatar.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
I mean, I've seen your videos and you're like, this
is actually me, this is not my avatar because I.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Have to distinguish between them because I am using my avatar.
So it's a video recording of myself. And now my
team can go in. I'm going to say Google just
put out stitch, do a quick video about Google Stitch,
put it up on Instagram, so they get the script done.
Chat GPT writes the script and they put that script
into Hagen. Click on which of my avatars they want

(39:31):
to use, and now it's me presenting the latest on
Google Stitch. So now we're able to create social media
content or training content for a community at the speed
of AI.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Oh my goodness. I didn't even know what Haygen was
until right now. Yeah, so that's on the list. So
the avatar, I mean you do everything from create audio
books in different languages to I mean, it's just every
platform that you can think of, there's something for you
to do.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
There's something for you to do.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
So it's it's always thinking about, all right, what's taking
up my time that I need to create an AI
solution for, or what do I need to see come
true that I need an AI solution for, because AI
can help us with so much that we need to do.
So I was showing an example of how I had
to do a presentation to a group of people that

(40:22):
only speak Dutch. I do not speak Dutch, and so
but I can with an interactive AI avatar who can
translate for me in any language. So I bring her
onto my Zoom meetings and she does all my translations
for me in real time and looks human, but she's
an AI avatar, real time, live translation so.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Now, Alicia, you know some of them, some people they
taken it too far, right, Like I saw recently a
video with the man who tried to do the AI
lawyer right, and the AI lawyer gets up in front
of the judges, Wait a minute, what is happening.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
So we gotta be like, use our thinking caps.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
We do, we do, and we also have to be transparent.
So when I'm bringing an AI avatar to a meeting,
I'm saying, this is an AI avatar, So there's transparency
around it. When we're doing translation, the translation is being
done by AI. So with that transparency, we're not trying
to fool anyone. We're trying to say, all right, I
cannot train you in Dutch, but I can bring on

(41:27):
an AI avatar who can help make it happen.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
It might not be perfect, but we can do it. Now.
Are you all happy with that?

Speaker 3 (41:33):
And they're like yes, because what would have been what
would have happened before the AI avatar would have come
on or instead of that is I would have had
to do a recording it, what had have been translated.
It would have been a really long process and it
might not have had that live interaction, or we would
have had to hire a translator, which would have taken
up a lot of time, money, and resources. So it's

(41:56):
just the things that we can do.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Now with AI.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
That's what excites me, and that's what excites me for entrepreneurs,
for professionals, for small businesses, I mean small businesses now
can have such a competitive advantage. A team of two
in a marketing department can now compete with a team
of fifty if that team of two is using AI. Right,
So now we can do so much more when we

(42:20):
go all in.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
So how can those small businesses who are like it's
really just me, how can they start to put these
tools in place where now they got the automations for
emails and phone calls and all of the other things
that they might need.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Right right, Well, it's going to take a little bit
of research for them to find out actually what they need.
But I always say, start off by saying where the
roadblocks in my business? Where is my time being sucked
in my business? And then how can I use AI
to completely change that and increase my productivity and efficiency.
So if you start by looking every single day, this

(42:58):
is an everyday activity, Look at what you do every day,
put rewindt Ai on your computer, see what you did
for the day, and you're like, oh, after that Zoom meeting,
I had to take my notes, send out the notes.
Then I had to do this and that, and you're like, no,
if I would have brought fireflies on and even connected

(43:18):
it with Zappier, the notes could have gone out automatically.
I wouldn't have even had to do anything. So you're like, okay,
I I could eliminate that. Oh and then I had
to write sales copy for my most recent offer, and
you say, oh, I could have used chatcypt to write
sales copy as my favorite copywriter, and that could have
been done instead of in four hours, in fifteen minutes.

(43:40):
So you start to look at everything you're doing through
the day and then remember this episode and say, there's
an AI tool out there or an AI solution to
what I'm doing so that I can become more productive
and efficient.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
I mean even things like that that suck our time, right,
And Neo gave this example especially with content creator speakers,
people who are doing so many different things right when
it comes to the flyers and like creating these little
like Instagram, I need a quick post to go out
typically you're sending that to the graphic designer. You're telling

(44:15):
them all the things that they need on the on
the flyer.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
That's time.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Now then I have to wait for you to get up.
I need to wait for you to get to your computer.
I need to wait for you. So now we're hours
into the process of that. And then now I'm paying
you seventy five one hundred and twenty five one hundred
and fifty dollars to create something that if I use
those same keys put it into Chat, it could generate

(44:41):
a flyer within five minutes.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
We're with less.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Second second second, the longest part of generating the flyers.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Are you telling chat.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Gibt exactly that's the five minutes.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
But you can tell chatch Ebt, I need to make
a flyer for back to school promotion for my retail store.
What information do you need from me to create an
amazing flyer? And it will tell you I need the
location of the store, what the special is, do you
have a discount? What colors do you want on the flyer.
So now we know that we don't need to be

(45:14):
a perfect prompter to create because the AHI will tell
us how to prompt it. So then you answer those
questions and then it can give you the flyer that
you need. And so CHATCHPT four to oh is great
for creating images and flyers, and then you can take
it into Canva to make those changes. So if you

(45:34):
need any changes, I like to take it into Canva.
But in chat GPT too, now they've got a tool
on a raiser tool, and you can kind of fix
up and fix up some of these images.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
But it is yea.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
The key is that we can move faster. And with
the speed that we can move money love speed, right,
and so now with the speed that we can move out,
we can launch faster. So now the back to school
special is up. It's going flyer two, flyer three, and
we can do it on a limited budget and with
limited resources. So sometimes you're saying, okay, I wish I

(46:08):
had a graphic designer on my team.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Well now you do.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Yeah, you have your AI graphic designer and your AI
graphic designer as fast, it's efficient, it never complains, it
doesn't sleep. You can ask it to do something at
one o'clock in the morning or one pm in the
afternoon and it's ready, it's on, and it's always there.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Ready to serve you.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
I mean, that's the thing. It ain't in its feelings. Okay,
this is the one tool that you got. This is
your one employee that don't get in a feelings.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
It's right, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
And when you're using artificial intelligence to the extreme and
you're really using it, you'll say, you know what, I
feel like, I have a relationship with a tool. So
I name mine Chatty chat gbt is Chatty. I'm like,
all right, Chatty, it's time to do the next assignment.
When we have AI agents in our business, so we
have AI chatbots, let's say that do different tasks in

(46:58):
our business. You actually give them a persona, a name,
they have resumes so that we can integrate them into
our team as efficiently as possible. So that also our
different team members know if you need a press release done,
you're gonna go to Jerry. Jerry's a chatbot. Instead of
saying go to the press release chatbot. Everybody knows you

(47:20):
go to Jerry. Jerry's the chatbot that writes the press releases.
So we're integrating AI agents in our team, giving them
personas and making them making the team feel like ah
AI is integrated it's not these chatbots sitting on the outside.
We're integrating them into our org chart and how we
use we use it.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
That's so good.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
You really don't hear a lot of people talking about
it in that way. It kind of feels like, oh yeah,
I go to Chad, you know, but I learn you
gotta talk nicely to check you do be.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Like, hey, Chad, what's up? What are you doing today?

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Were like, I'm good, Brandy, what's up. I'm like, let's
go listen, and he does speaking the voice you know,
and then has learned my voice correct to be able
to speak and create I mean, IG captions everything. We're
overthinking so much where we spend so much time to
your point of saving the time it is, I'm not

(48:15):
even writing the IG caption anymore. I'm not thinking about
what's hot? What should I say? Baby chat? We on
day nine and a challenge here we go. I need
something that's punchy. I need motivational. I need to go
with this song, this audio. And then what I've also learned,
this chat will get you the trending audio, Well, it's
gonna get you the like how to create the real everything.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
A viral headline for it you know what should be
on the thumbnail, it can create your thumbnail. So yeah,
the speed of what we can get done. Now you
can even upload your real and say I need a
caption for this. I need you to give me the
hashtags that I should use or an image, and so
now you don't even have to think. You create the

(48:58):
image first, and then you're like, I don't even know
what to say. Yeah, and you just give it the
image and it will create your caption to everything for you,
and you're like, I want it to be punchier, and
then it will rewrite.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
I want it to be sassier. Listen, check get sassy.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Okay, Chatt'll get sassy, and it'll speak in whatever voice,
and you can prompt it to say, this is my audience.
I speak to black women. It is twenty five to
fifty five. It's gonna give you all the things that
are gonna hone in to that specific demographic.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
And so when we think about utilizing these tools, we
know our audience, we know who we're speaking to, we
know the people who are coming to us, we know
our customers. Now we upload that information and now we
get to.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
That expand it and it's so good at even analyzing.
So I put in your social media handles in an
asks chat gibt, who's her audience? Who am I talking
to when I'm doing this interview? And it outlines who
your audience is. So now we say, okay, now I
can connect better because I have a better on standing
instead of guessing, now you're using AI to say this

(50:04):
is what this is, What I see is what AI
is telling me.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
And so now I can prep for everything better.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
I mean, as before we get out of here, because
I know I feel like I could talk to you
all day, Alicia. Recently I watched on CBS they talked
about this is kind of the danger zone of chat right,
and they said, how try to override the AI system,

(50:31):
and it would not allow it to be overridden, overridden
so much so that it created blackmail emails, It went
through all these different things. So when we talk about
there is this fine line that we're walking, what do
you see as we are kind of embarking on this
new frontier when it comes to AI being able to

(50:55):
go through our phone, now we can if it can rewind,
that means it can rewind everything all right. I mean,
I mentioned the whole. It could be a cheater tool.
Somebody gonna use that. That's Michael saying, oh I got
rewind baby, I already.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
Saw what you did today. I know what you did
last summer.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
That's right. You know.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
When I first read that, saw the CBS too, I said,
I'd like to see what they said. We're only seeing
the end results. I'd like to see how that whole
thing got started, because knowing what the end result was,
I could duplicate that myself. But where do they start
with that? But there is a lot Again, it's the
fear of AI, and it's the true fear of AI

(51:35):
and what's to come. And I try not to sit
too hard on it with entrepreneurs because we're really looking
at how we can use it now. But the overall
picture is that it's advancing so quickly and the regulations
that are around it. Or let's talk about the bad actors.
There are people out there that can use AI for

(51:57):
bad So the first thing I always tell people is
the CEO of your business, you and the CFO, you
need a corporate password so that if you're ever called
and it's it's someone that you think is a CEO
telling the CFO to transfer money to this account. You're
going to say what's our corporate password? And the AI
won't be able to answer that. The bad actor using

(52:17):
AI won't be able to answer that right, And the
same thing for family, So have the family password because
the AI voices are fantastic and they you will not
be able to tell the difference in a lot of cases,
so you'll have to ask the questions that the bad
actors using.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
AI won't know what the answers are to them.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
So you have to set up some precautions corporately, like
in your business and also personally in your business. And
when you think about, well, is AI going to take
over the world? Are we going to be servants to
the robots? I mean, Brandy, you're nice to the robots now,
so you're safe. Yeah, robots ever do take over, But hey,

(52:56):
it's it's now. We need to be part of the
conversation and we need to be at the conferences and
we need our voices to be heard as well on
what our concerns are around AI, so that we can
also be at the table as policy is created and
as these corporations are looking for their security measures and
that sort of stuff. But always know that there's bad

(53:16):
actors and they're.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
They were bad before. These scammers.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
We're doing a lot before this recent wave in AI,
but it's just now easier and more accessible for them.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah yeah, I mean I got scampages out there. People
be like, well they for vault. I said, well, baby,
if you didn't get that from the Kia, you did
not get it.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
Okay, it is not for and you got a vault
at Gmail. Baby, you know it ain't me Okay.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
But when we talk about young people, and I want
to in kind of as we go from the generational
this is a very intergenerational tool, right the under thirty
group and the over thirty over thirty five group, Are
there something specifically young people need to have in their

(54:02):
arsenal to be able to compete in this world? And
are there some things that the older, more seasoned veterans
out here need to have in their arsenal to compete
in this world?

Speaker 4 (54:12):
Right?

Speaker 3 (54:12):
Well, As an AI consultant, and as I go into
corporations and government, I will say that people who are
not using AI are getting laid off and publicly it's
been said, and even those using AI. You know, we
have to be in a place right now where we
are upskilling ourselves and showing our value. So for the

(54:33):
older folks starting to say, you know what I do
need to learn A I cannot sit on the sideline
for this revolution. I need to make sure that I
am AI literate. And that's what they're saying, like they're
looking to make sure that their workforce is AI literate.
So I come in to train the workforce a lot
in different companies and train them on AI and to

(54:54):
be AI literate. But it's up to that person to
then say, Okay, I'm going to take it to the
next level, continue learning. And so sometimes it's about if
they have a passion for AI and then other times
it's knowing that they don't have a choice. They need
to learn this because their employer wants them to be
more productive and more efficient in their managers. And then

(55:15):
what I would say for the young people is that
corporations are now looking to make sure that they're only
hiring young people that are AI literate. So if you
do not have an AI portfolio yet, you haven't created
with AI yet, you better be prepared before your interview
that you start to obscull yourself. There's a lot of
free courses out there, and you know to go to Google,

(55:38):
go to IBM, take some of their free courses, get
certified in different aspects of AI. You have to make
yourself very appealing and when it comes to your AI
proficiency when applying for a job. So I don't know
a corporation right now that is hiring that says, oh,
I don't care if they know AI or not. Right,
I don't care if they care if they like AI

(55:59):
or not. No, what do they know about AI? Are
they willing to use AI? And what have they done
so far with AI? So I'm training at the university level,
especially in HBCUs and saying, look, we need to make
sure that these graduates that are coming out of these
schools are so AI literate that they are you know,

(56:20):
highly sought after. So and I don't care what you're
graduating from, It doesn't matter because in every at you're
graduating in fashion, Well, guess what, there are so many
AI tools out there that can help you with fashion.
So you're you're making sure that every graduate as a
young person, has AI literacy so that they are looked

(56:42):
at as you know, so valuable to that company or
the agency the nonprofit where wherever they're looking for a job,
or if they're an entrepreneur and they have dreams of
being an entrepreneur, Well, if you want to grow and
scale your business intoday's world, do you better learn AI
from the get go to start your business and to

(57:02):
scale it.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
I saw that Georgetown is now offering a master's program
in AI, some form of AI consulting, some form of
AI management program.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
It came up on my feed.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Right right, And I'm sitting up here like, okay, now
if I got that is an add on my feed
right because of course it's seeing everything that I'm searching
and I am telling I told my niece, she's twenty
four years old, gonna be twenty five years old in December.
She works in corporate and HR and she was like, well,

(57:37):
I really want to get a new job. And I
you know, I've been applying and da da da da.
She works for a bank. And I said, LEXI, if
you are not learning AI, if you are not honing
in those skills everything that you just said, I just
want to know. I want you to know. I said
this to her. Okay, I said this to her because

(58:00):
I think that's going to be the difference maker.

Speaker 4 (58:02):
It's going to be the shift.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
It is, it is, it is.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
And every young person out there, as they're looking for
their next thing or you know, like Lexi's looking for
a job, what is she going to do next? As
she's looking for that next thing, they're looking for how
competent are you in AI?

Speaker 2 (58:19):
Right? And then even how willing are you?

Speaker 3 (58:21):
So just by going out there and saying, oh, I
took this LinkedIn course on prompt engineering or whatever it is,
it makes you more appealing to the person that's going
to hire you. So you have to be all in
on AI. And then you know, for the young people,
they start to find the things about AI or the
tools that really excite them, and when they do that,

(58:42):
then they start going down this rabbit hole of using
that tool and they become better and better at it.
I'm always surprised by, or maybe not surprised by how
fast they are compared to the adults in the room.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Like they get it.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
They're done before the adults are even they're still typing
in their prompt and the kids are gone.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
You know.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
So it's good, Alicia, I think more people are going
You have just peaked, so many people's interests who maybe
have not had this conversation, who have been afraid to
have this conversation, didn't know where to start in this conversation.

Speaker 4 (59:15):
So I really think I know that you are doing
the Lord's work.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Thank you, Thank you.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
You are doing the Lord's work.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Because if we don't step into this, and especially as
people of color who with all these DEI programs going
away with all of the we don't have to hire
you no more. Come on, okay, with all of that
that we see, you are going to have to have
tools in your tool kit that separates you from the pack.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
That's right, That's right.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
And when we talk about being separated from the pack,
not only can you be separated from the pack, but
rise so far above the pack. So you know, I'm
seeing as an AI consultant and trainer that you know,
more and more of us, especially Black women are getting
into AI and passionate about it. And our community is

(01:00:01):
we're probably at least ninety percent Black women that are
really learning artificial intelligence, which is so off the norm.
So the statistics out there is that it's only maybe
twenty to thirty percent of Black women aren't artificial intelligence
so I also encourage them find someone who you connect
with who's doing it, who's obsessed about it like me,

(01:00:25):
that you can follow and learn from, so that you
are all in on it and you don't have to
learn everything. So there's quite a few of us that
spend all day long learning these new tools. I mean,
this is what we do in our business, so that
we can then go out there and teach it to others,
to our community, to teach it on social media all

(01:00:45):
the time. So find somebody that you like that's talking
about it every single day and learn every single day,
and that will get.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
You to the next level.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
That will get you to the next level. One word
you're committed to in this season of your life.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
Skill Why it's so important for me to upscale myself
so that I can upscale others. There's no way I
can pull others up if I'm not committed every day
to being better myself.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
Alici A little fantastic, phenomenal conversation. I am so excited
for the work you are doing in the world. It
is so necessary. Bought empower Talks another good one for
the books. Be sure to share this with someone who
needs to upscale, up level their life in this AI revolution.
Until next time, I'm your girl, Brandy Harvey eat Well,

(01:01:34):
give a damn move your body every single day.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
Peace,
