[Music]
Like what? Morning T. Morning, morning, morning, morning B. How's the flight?
Uh, pretty long.
Yeah, sorry about that.
It's all good.
Uh, why are we in Serbia?
Uh, good question. It's a bit of a long story.
[Music]
So I've got a few days left here, and you guys are going to get to see the behind the scenes of how I'm running my businesses from here on the mountains, which I think will be a refreshing perspective, considering the typical online business person lifestyle and how everyone tells us we're supposed to live.
I remember being basically programmed from the videos that I watched and the people I looked up to. Or when you are successful, this is how you should live; these are the things you should go for.
Um, but what I figured out here, and more recently, is that there's enough carbon copies and clones in the entrepreneurial space in particular, and you're better off just being yourself.
Use the freedom and the money that you make from your businesses to live a life that's most in line with who you really are and what you really like doing.
So that's what I'm doing right now, and I hope it's inspiring to you all that you don't have to fall into a box.
Um, you can really cut your own path and be yourself.
Oh yeah.
[Music]
Oh yeah, look at sitting in the corner like bleeding. Like, I love this [ __ ].
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[ __ ] these are the guys from City Kickboxing in Oakland, where we're from.
Um, so it's a pretty big deal that, um, one, he's going for the belt again, but also we've got the other guys in there as well, and Dan just won.
So, could a good day for New Zealand sport, you know?
So boys are up.
Um, Josh and stuff are in Thailand. For them, it's not as early, but Josh's got some money on it as well, so be good.
Good couple fights. Kai's really good, and of course, Izzy is phenomenal, so could be a three for three.
A third of the way there now.
What time did you get up?
Uh, 5:15, I think. I had my it, and it's 6:00.
So I never, I never like bother watching sport or like, you know, the only thing I watch is F1.
I've just never bothered with sport 'cause I always felt like it was like a time waste or a certain degree that I have to be like showing up and watching all of these football matches just didn't seem like a good return on my time.
But a Sunday morning to watch three New Zealanders perform on the page, I think is worth it.
So here we are, this is Izzy's fight.
[Music]
Bro.
[Music]
[Applause]
No [ __ ] not.
Look at, I'm going to screenshot that.
Turn it off.
That is a cute cat.
What are you doing?
Um, listening to Steve Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson.
I listened to his one for Elon Musk, and that was really interesting.
It's like 20, 30 hours of audiobook, um, but you get a really in-depth look at their life.
And I think it's pretty cool that you can just walk through the bush or do like go for a drive.
When I was driving here, like the three-hour drive is really good for just listening to a big chunk of, and if I can just listen to all the life stories of the greatest people in history, you get really good context on what it takes to be great.
But also like the little quirks about them, like when they push through certain times and when they're like, I mean, the Steve Jobs one's particularly interesting 'cause I realized how crazy this dude was.
Like he was so unhinged in like everything he did, but still went on to be extremely successful.
So, um, it's good information and context.
I know like, like what greatness forms, like what forms greatness can materialize in, you know?
So, and that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you.
And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
The minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will, you know, if you push in, something will pop out the other side.
You can, you could change it, you could mold it and break it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.
And you've got to be, uh, willing to, uh, fail.
You got to be willing to crash and burn, you know, with people on the phone, with starting a company, with whatever.
If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far.
That was hu, was that a hawk?
It was a hawk.
Yeah.
[Music]
[Music]
What's the first thing you're doing today?
I'm planning a video, and then, uh, it's for Best AI Solutions.
So we've put a form out across all platforms, and we've had like hundreds of people submit what they're selling and how they're selling it.
And it's so much cool stuff.
I've taken out the weekend just to go through all of the cool stuff that people are building, and now the decision is whether to like lump it into this hori style hourong valy bomb or to kind of drip feed it and make like smaller videos that are like clustered and like these Solutions and these Solutions.
So need to plan that, finish planning that, and then film it, and that's really the first thing for [Music] today.
What's up?
All good?
How's you, Rick?
Ah, was all good, man. Same old, but, um, yeah, anyway, Matel on your side.
Obviously, we ched on Friday, and, uh, I think the objective was starting to work on these designs.
So I know 's ready to start working on front end for the stuff now.
So, um, how we looking progress-wise on your side?
Yeah, so check with James on Friday.
Uh, most of the stuff was there, so yeah, I started.
Uh, I have a Figma that I can discuss with Liam, um, with the new kind of alignment for design for the metrics.
Uh, so that's all good.
I worked on that during the weekend.
I think James mentioned that they were done on the just on the stage inside, but I think there seems still some stuff missing.
But it's fine.
I think we need to go back to them with a clear idea of the page first, and then we can be a little bit more picky about what the library actually has available in terms of us using for graphing.
We have a lot of type of components, but what they can do in terms of scaling horizontally, it's limited.
So we could bring at the same box from being off-screen.
We could bring it full width, but that's or allop maybe a third of the column, but that's pretty much it.
H, in terms of styles, uh, I can send you the link to the page.
They can do spikes, but yeah, um, okay.
What, so we might be able to like click here and it expands to having a bigger?
Yeah, yeah, but that's like an extra function either.
I think let's just get the, we want them to focus.
Yeah, we've got this graph type, which is key one that we needed.
We've got this, I think having these components of a little square box is going to be good.
Maybe have them up further, but, um, yeah, no, it's good.
Good start.
Yeah, sweet.
So that was a call with the Genive team, myself, Josh, and our product owner, Mato.
So Mato is kind of the bridge between myself and the devs.
Um, so I've got the vision of what I need, we need it built into, and then Mato manages the UI/UX design, coordinates with the devs.
And so there we're just hashing out.
We've got one on one hand a bit more testing of some of the new features we want to get one of our developers to go through 'cause testing is difficult, and no one likes testing, and everyone's lazy when it comes to testing.
So, um, we're forcing him to take basically a week off and say instead of just building this and like surface level testing it and then like shipping it basically, um, we want you to go in there and become like be an actual user.
So I'm going to send them like 5 or 10 use cases that you can build on Ative, and I'm going to say, okay, now build that out end to end and then give us a report at each.
So he'll have to actually go deeper into the feature set that we're provided, and then at the end be able to show us here's a working prototype of what you wanted me to build that I've done with the G.
So we're expecting him to find some issues, um, as he gets deeper into these use cases.
So that's, uh, that's work for this week.
But at the same time, we're also working on a dashboard for Agentive, so we're super excited for that 'cause I don't think there's many platforms that are built on top of the assistance API that do what we do that are going to allow you to manage and sort of have a whole dashboard for your agents and the tools that are being called, the messages that are being sent, the average session duration, um, all these really cool things that are really essential for a SaaS platform.
So, Dash by end of month or early next month on Agentive, and we're just ironing out the UI stuff tomorrow.
It's coming along, and I'm really enjoying it.
Um, got another Agentive video coming out today, had one out last week, so just chipping away, getting a bit more eyeballs on Agentive and what we've done there.
So I think it's been a few months coming, but we're finally making some progress.
Taking care of good news is that we're up last week.
I mean, he did in is from what, 14% up until 18, um, but he's got a long way to go.
Well, not a long, but 7% more to go to get to target, so we'll see.
But, um, yeah, so that's all good.
Casey, everything on your education side?
Aside from that, I think we're pretty much good.
All right, yeah, commun side, commun side really good.
It's also good to get internal alignment so that all the coach and success managers, I think for success managers kind of having to watch the AZ guide and then kind of know what to recommend these people on.
So now they have like a [ __ ] blueprint, and I always thought it'd be like too hard to get really specific with it, but that's why I've had all of these coaches weighing in on it.
And so this decision-making logic of like, okay, this didn't work, and I'll go to here or this, this, this, it actually does seem to flow together and make a lot of sense.
And so I'm just getting this last check of them to all go over it, and then I could probably just drop that as the end of the module, and I can sort of back f it out so we can get the stuff out.
Um, and then if there's any other conceptual stuff that I need to tidy up on those documents, I can do it.
That was our executive call.
We have one on Monday and Fridays, and so that's myself, Josh, um, COO Casey, head of education, and then we have my assistant N on there as well.
So Josh is stepping into the sales role a bit more and helping our sales manager, Olle, who's another Kiwi guy, um, to rang with these reps in.
Um, CU, they're really key part of the business and communicating the benefits of the program we have.
And if they don't understand it properly, if they're not representing like I do all of this work to build a relationship and build trust with someone and be like, yes, this guy can help me to transition into AI space, they get on a call with this [ __ ] some [ __ ] who's like not respect, I maybe respectful but doesn't communicate, isn't an extension of my brand and the trust that I built up in my audience.
And so it pisses me off 'cause it can kind of wreck all the hard work I put in.
So Josh is stepping in there.
Um, everything's all good on Casey's side.
We've been getting so many Trustpilot reviews, just people absolutely loving the program.
And if anyone knows online, like course selling, um, Trustpilot is something they would never even go near because they would just get [ __ ] on.
Um, but we have a Trustpilot with 150 like five-star reviews now, um, and they're coming in like one or two per day from the program.
So Casey's killing it with our success managers and coaches.
I'm working on some new course content, well have been for a long time that I'm releasing to the accelerator this week, um, and I've got a bunch of videos that I'm filming as well.
So I kind of just update them on my side.
Um, and [Music]
[Music]
Yeah, there's like purely just on a dollar amount, I can do like top 5 AI solutions to sell for $10,000 or more.
These are like 10, 20, $30,000 solutions people can sell.
So I can give like a list of those.
I can do weird ones.
There's like tarot card P readings.
There's, um, where's the other weird ones on here?
Um, these like really strange ones that you wouldn't expect that you can still people making money with.
Um, there are really simple ones that like people would think, oh, you can't make money with that, but people are selling it in a certain way that's like super simple to build for us but fairly valuable for the business.
Um, these really innovative or new ones that are like quite cutting edge positive ones that like having a positive like 5 AI solutions you can sell to make the world be a place and [ __ ] like that.
This is one, um, and they make, they said in, um, so they make these AI chatbots, and they feed them with a ton of, um, top-ranked scientific articles and books and basically make their own custom AI model to some degree but with a custom knowledge base.
Um, and then they use it to bring access to education and aid in developing in third world countries.
Um, it's incredibly common in places like Brazil for young children to have one teacher that has to teach multiple different subjects and completely lack any sort of out-of-classroom assistance.
Most have parents with no education, even if they have both parents, don't know any better, and they can't offer any kind of support and homework questions, etc.
So what they can do is create these chat BS, give them all of the like curriculum for the, so like when you're in [ __ ] year five and you're like in class or what, fifth grade or whatever, you had a curriculum and a set of things you had to learn for the year.
And so these are like one-on-one tutors that you can get help, and you can tell help them with this and this way, and then they can go home and use this either on their [ __ ] phone or on a, so you can like roll that out across ever in Africa where they got like a computer, you know?
So like ChatGPT is too broad.
You need to narrow it down with like stricter rules on what it should, how it should help them, what they're trying to learn, etc.
But, um, yeah, they're saying they use doctors who want to make sense back content.
Schools in developing countries can now offer 24/7 tutors to the students with AIs that have access to a restricted course or subject.
Um, teachers and course creators who want to create classes on scientific back material, universities for the same purpose, doctors, anyone who's looking to create a legitimate scientific back.
Yeah, [ __ ] crazy.
I did this little diagram, um, on Figma 'cause there was some dude who put one in here which was like I'm the first German AI phone calling system.
So this is AI phone calling systems, and but the language differences can be a little bit of an issue sometimes.
They perform really good in the language sometimes they don't.
But then I realized like I was already saying that the AI opportunity is so, so gigantic because not only do you have like in SMMA, everyone's basically selling the same thing, which is like I'll help you get more customers with, um, with paid traffic.
Like I'll use Facebook ads, I'll use Google ads, I'll use some kind of social media marketing, I'll get you more clients, right?
That means if you're in the roofing industry and I'm in it as well, we're probably going to be selling basically the same thing, you know?
But when it comes to 'cause it's like you might do Google ads and I might do meta ads, then we like kind of don't compete.
But like majority of people are just going to be trying to use meta ads, which is like the best ad platform basically.
So we're all competing.
As soon as you are sharing the same niche with someone, you're competing.
But with this, if you come into it and it's like, okay, I'm in the roofing niche, okay, but what are you selling?
Oh, well, I sell market AI enhanced marketing systems for cold outreach.
Okay, well, you just, you're in that niche, but like there's like 20 other things I can sell in that niche.
So it's like I could come in and sell anything on here, which is, it might be a consulting AI consultant thing, or it might be a cold calling system, or it might be an AI receptionist.
So there's like a million different, like dozens of different things you can sell to within each niche.
So for it to become saturated, you could have like the whole gang trying to sell to the same niche.
You could all just be selling different parts of it, so it's going to take so much longer to become saturated.
And then when you add in other layers like, okay, well, we only started business as of a certain size and say, okay, well, I got to bigger businesses get value out of my AI calling system because it's a bigger infrastructure.
So that's who I sell to.
Well, I also sell that to the same type of business owners, but my one's better for like smaller dental practices or something, you know?
So then there's a size of the business you can each down by, and then with a lot of the stuff being conversational, that you have voice agents and you have chatbots, you can be, you can take the exact same thing and then go and sell it in the German market or in the French market because you need to have specific understanding of how to get the B out of it for those languages.
And obviously for me to be developing AI solutions for phone systems, if I don't speak in French, I can't, I don't, I can't sell there.
So not only are there like dozens of different things you can sell to one niche and more showing up every day, there's also an added layer of like language because a lot of this is language-based as well.
So, so much so this will be like many, many, many, many times bigger than that SM thing ever was.
[Music]
All right, I got, um, a Genive call shortly with Mato going over our dashboard UI, um, finalizing that 'cause we've had a bit of issues going back and forth between the developers.
Uh, Teo as a product owner, myself, when we kind of change things on the fly, and it ends up being like whose fault is this?
Are the devs not listening, or we like change so we don't like set the dashboard exactly how we want it?
I really think through it all, and then it's only dev's fault if it doesn't come out right.
So daily messages, daily usage call.
Uh, yeah, that's a tricky, um, daily messages, daily conversations.
Um, what if we just change it to messages and conversations and then usage costs?
Yeah, just simp, delete, delete messages, conversations.
That looks clean.
And then usage costs, yeah, and then usage cost is good because there is going to be like plural costs.
Um, average cost per session board for Agentive.
We've got agent-specific metrics like the number of messages sent, and you can change the time frame.
I've wanted a dashboard on the thing for so long.
Um, got conversations, so you'll be able to see how many conversations your agent has had like per day over whatever time frame you set, total number of messages during that time frame, average messages position, um, average session duration, costs, average cost per session, tool calls, tool errors, ER log, and then some global metrics as well, um, for your whole account.
And then also a dash.
I want to make this a little bit more of a dashboard, you know?
'Cause when you come home onto a thing, I want, yeah, I don't know.
I need to think about this a little bit more.
Me and Mato are politely disagreeing on what we should have here, but, um, I think I'll be able to give them some notes, and then we can agree on a midpoint or one of us compromises fully.
So if I can convince them of my vision for it, then I'm sure he'll go along for the ride.
So I got to jump into my accelerator meeting now.
Everyone good?
Yeah, okay.
Um, I mean, you could just continue to do the stuff you've been doing and just get a lot more experience, and that's going to help you to start to close these bigger deals with these other people, right?
So if you run into, if you're trying to put too much weight on the bar, is the homi humism, um, where if you just like take a little off and keep doing what you're doing for a little longer.
And sure, if you know that the money is going to be in these B2B sales companies a little bit down the line, um, but you're able to close these smaller ones initially, like real estate and stuff that you've been doing, um, that can be part of the plan.
It can be the plan three months from now, and you just build up more evidence and more credibility on your LinkedIn, and then you go, okay, now I've got the resources and the base to start shooting for these bigger deals.
[Music]
Ah, perfect M. Perfect, okay M.
There, hold perfect.
I hope you like cheese, bro.
We've got enough tomatoes, do not really left onions, garlic for the beef, and then we have like a whole kilogram of, that's like 2.2 lb.
I think that was 20, it's like $20 all up, and then, um, just I think I gave him another 20.
He was like very happy.
We're translating back and forth on the phone the whole time, but the cheese is very good as other vegetables, so that's like about as organic as you get.
That's [Music]
Why are you so sad?
It's just a phase of my life.
Remember, it's so emotional, really out it.
[Music]
Reflecting, do what you can with what you got.
You [Music] know, set.
[Applause]
[Music]
Don't let nothing mess with your vibe when you're working, boys.
Go Sacred Space.
[Music]
So in this video, I'll be showing five of these AI solutions that are being sold for $20,000 or more each, with receipts to prove that they are actually getting paid.
Any aspiring, any, so there are now thousands of AI automation agency owners trying to make money by selling AI solutions to businesses, but who's actually making money?
And more importantly, what are they selling?
New formats, just take it out of you.
All forgot you got to do that.
[Music]
Morning T. Morning, morning.
Thanks for being flexible.
Um, I've got the travel tomorrow, so thought we might as well bang this out now.
Yeah, um, what you going, your, um, videos all chocked up, good to go?
HS interview, uh, we've got a video going out today, that 5 AI Solutions top a solution.
So, um, going to be interesting to test.
I think we need to give those kind of formats, give me a couple goes at it before we make a judgment on it.
Um, that's going out today, hums interview on Saturday, Saturday, and then I've got ver CED up for next week as well that I filmed just yesterday.
So, um, if it's built on Agentive, it's going to be pushing users to that.
It's going to be introducing new people to their channel 'cause it goes broad.
Um, it's also going to be sending people to school for the resources, and it's also going to be, you know, so it does a lot of birds with one stone.
And so if we just like pamp as many of those during that period as we want, it seems to not only help Agentive but also help all other parts of the business as well.
Catch you guys next week.
I'll catch you guys soon anyway in that education.
Yeah, have a good weekend, everyone.
Catch you later.
Bye, CIA.
And so do you own all of these properties yet?
Yes, first CL, this one and this one.
Oh, but I have more down.
We haven't been down.
No, I didn't even know there was a, is there another road down there somewhere?
I have a down more like no buildings.
I have, uh, for, uh, vegetables, but I'm not good as this guy M.
Like mine are small.
I just took one of his and grow it like this, but there's, uh, there's some more fruit and vegetables and food in the fridge.
Um, there's a bunch of cheese if you want to.
I only went to bought it like yesterday or the day before, so all right, four-hour drive.
Here we go.
Hope you got some good tunes.
Three hours and 12 minutes, so we're going out more.
So there's Greece, we're going south of, uh, Serbia, right up to Belgrade.
So we're driving the entire country of Serbia.
Y, first half is nice.
There's a little bit in the middle that's a little bit crummy, but then it's onto highways.
[Music]
[Applause]
Oh baby, baby girl, me up, me with, yeah, yeah.
Give me a feeling I don't want to lose.
No baby girl, no, no, it's fing me up, it's fing me up.
Yeah, yeah, you feeling it?
Feels like through the city, Li sping like fall phone calls to my baby.
She know what be going on.
I check on the late night.
Lord knows that I'm wrong.
Sheating on you in the late night.
Can't to leave alone.
Wooo baby, you [Music] know.
W baby, you [Music] know.
Let's go.
[Music]
You know I'm on my way.
