On this episode of Talking with the Experts, host Rose Davidson sits down with guest Garik Tate to discuss the potential of AI for business owners. Garik starts off by explaining how AI technology is extremely effective when there are clear inputs and outputs, and when those inputs can easily be processed by the AI system. Surprisingly, many things that were once thought to be uniquely human can actually be replicated by AI.

Garik goes on to explain how there are AI systems currently being developed that can function as personal companions, life coaches, and therapists. In fact, his own company is currently working on creating a life coach app. However, AI still struggles in situations where the inputs are not clear, such as in professions like accounting that require understanding context and connecting dots. The ability of AI to handle unclear inputs and outputs is crucial for its progress.

The conversation delves into the challenges of integrating AI into different industries. Garik explains that defining inputs and outputs is a Western approach to technology that has its uses, but life is fundamentally messy, making it difficult for AI to penetrate certain industries. Blue-collar jobs, in particular, are proving to be difficult for AI to replace due to the messy nature of reality. It becomes clear that AI still has a long way to go in terms of handling unclear inputs and outputs.

The episode continues with Garik providing recommendations on how to fully explore and utilize these AI tools. He suggests dedicating around 20 hours of deep work to master these tools and recommends implementing a bottom-up approach within teams to encourage creativity and development.

Overall, this episode of Talking with the Experts provides a thorough exploration of the potential of AI for business owners. Host Rose Davidson and guest Garik Tate engage in an insightful conversation, discussing the current capabilities and limitations of AI, as well as practical tools and approaches for incorporating AI into business workflows. Listeners are sure to gain valuable knowledge and inspiration on how to leverage AI for innovation, growth, and success in their own businesses.

On this episode of Talking with the Experts, host Rose Davidson welcomes special guest Joeri Billast, a fractional CMO and web three marketing strategist. Joeri starts by discussing the early adoption of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) in marketing strategies, emphasizing that it can help businesses stand out in the crowded market. NFTs offer a unique and uncopyable way to sell products and services, allowing creators to earn commissions on future resales. Furthermore, NFTs provide a secure method for granting access to events or exclusive content, making them ideal for membership cards, loyalty programs, and certificates to create a sense of pride among customers.

Joeri explains that web three is already a reality and can be accessed through specific websites called Depths. Web three includes NFTs, digital collectibles like digital art, membership cards, or access passes minted on the blockchain. What makes NFTs special is that they cannot be copied, guaranteeing their uniqueness and authenticity. Joeri highlights the aspects of authenticity, security, and decentralization that NFTs bring.

To enter the web three world, Joeri advises acquiring a digital wallet containing cryptocurrency or minimal funds. Transactions within web three often require gas fees. To incentivise people to adopt digital wallets, Joeri offers a free NFT, obtainable by visiting a website and connecting a wallet or creating an account with an email address. Having a wallet grants access to additional resources, such as survey results.

Throughout the episode, Joeri emphasizes the need for education about web three and encourages listeners to familiarize themselves with NFTs by obtaining a wallet. Joeri also mentions real-world examples of companies like Starbucks in the United States and others in Belgium already leveraging NFTs in their marketing without explicitly mentioning them.

Join Rose Davidson and expert guest Joeri Billast as they delve into the exciting realm of web three marketing on this episode of Talking with the Experts. Gain valuable insights into effective marketing strategies, innovative problem-solving, financial planning, and team building, all aimed at helping entrepreneurs grow and thrive in their businesses.

On this episode of Talking with the Experts, host Rose Davidson invites special guest Trang Nguyen to discuss the importance of having a clear vision for personal and professional life, and how it relates to creating change in the world. Trang shares a visualization process called the Deathbed Visualization, which involves imagining oneself on their deathbed and reflecting on the impact they want to have on the planet.

This incident sparked an existential crisis and a desire to use their power for good and positively impact humanity. Trang shifted her focus from working with athletes to helping individuals who are business owners and developing their businesses for impact.

Trang emphasizes that legacy isn't just about money but about how one wants to be remembered and the positive impact they leave on people's lives. Different interpretations of legacy are discussed, with a focus on creating change in the world and leaving a lasting impact. 

Trang also shares their own experience starting a podcast, and how it has allowed them to connect with nearly 500 people they wouldn't have met otherwise.
