What advice do you have in getting your first opportunity as those new graduates out there are in a little bit more of a tighter economy?
5:05
Yeah, they're in a tighter economy and at a time where the number one skill that employers are looking for are AI skills.
5:12
So I tell every graduate, like you really need to spend some time right now leveling up your skills and your skills in artificial intelligence.
5:21
Like LinkedIn put out a report that said last year in 2025 and this year, 2026, the number one skill to have out of the gazillion skills that are out there is AI literacy.
5:32
So how much time are you spending every day to make sure that you're AI literate so that you are very relevant in today's job market and tomorrow's job market? And then as you're looking for your ideal job, are you using artificial intelligence to help you do that? And it can help you in everything from helping you with the interview process all the way down to finding that job.
5:56
on LinkedIn and that sort of stuff.
5:57
But I will tell you that it definitely is a tighter job market for those just starting out, like trying to get your first job.
7:24
So as a leader, mentor, and teacher, what have you recognized in terms of the incredible potential of this future generation versus the hindrance that a lot of people think or believe?
5:53
Mm-hmm.
5:53
And then you say, "Write seven emails to send out to my list to tell them to watch this," and why, a series of seven.
6:00
And then if you go on the far right-hand side, which is called Studio, there's, oh, three, six, maybe nine buttons over there.
6:08
Click every button.
6:09
It's like it'll create a mind map for you.
6:11
It'll create an audio overview of the show for you.
6:14
It will create a PowerPoint presentation.

6:49
So you click on all of that and you see what can be created, and you're like, wow, you could take this one episode and repurpose it into all these different wa- these content ways.
6:59
So people learn differently.
7:00
Some people might want an audio from it.

23 MINS LATER

29:34
Yeah.
6:46
What are you showing them that's helping them? Because that's the mental block for me is like when I hear professionals like you who know it so well, but help a dummy like me.
6:59
First of all.
7:02
So what I like to do is I'll say, let's use this episode, an example.
7:07
So you take the YouTube link of this episode and I'll say, okay, everybody open up Notebook LM.
7:13
It's a Google tool, notebooklm.google.com. And then when you're on Notebook LM, click on create notebook.
7:20
Click on that plus sign.
7:21
And then that opens up.

when I hear the word government, what role does AI play for people who feel it's going to take their job? Really, if they tweak their opportunities, they can benefit from AI.
8:44
Any business
8:45
... is making, is making more money leaning into AI when they're using it strategically, right? And so if you're an entrepreneur or a business owner, it doesn't matter what industry you're in, you can use AI in your business.
8:59
So for a person who's, like, lost, and they're looking at the screen, and they say, "I have no idea where to start," that's the best thing to do, is just to tell AI, "I have no idea where to start, so ask me 15 questions about myself and my business and my goals so that you can help me get started.
9:15
My true goal is to grow, multiply, and expand my business.
9:19
Ask me the 15 questions." So you don't have to really know what to ask it.
9:24
You just have to know that it's a conversation that you're having with AI, and think of it as a business strategy coach.
9:30
If you were sitting across from a strategy coach, the coach is gonna wanna know 15 things about you in order to help you in your business.

36:09
Claude, let's do another shout out for Claude.
40:26
Do you want to continue with slides? So like when you give it the prompt, it'll probably ask you one more thing and you just answer that and then let it go.
42:58
What do you
42:58
tell them? Yeah, we're still at the early stages of the AI revolution, which is what we're in right now.
43:04
And I know this because I'm an AI trainer.
43:06
So I go into corporations and government agencies and universities and teach and train.
43:11
And you wouldn't believe how many people don't even have a chat GPT account or have never tried AI.
43:17
anything in AI.
43:18
So there's people that feel that they're so far behind.

when I hear the word government, what role does AI play for people who feel it's going to take their job? Really, if they tweak their opportunities, they can benefit from AI.
13:21
I'm always curious, as this audience knows about the backstory of people, why and how did you get so fascinated with AI to the point of becoming the queen of AI?
13:30
Sure.
13:30
So back in 2017, I was speaking at an event called Walmart Tech Live.
13:35
It's an internal event for Walmart's employees.
13:38
And the speaker in front of me, he was 15 years old at the time, 15.
13:42
And he was on stage and he was talking about IBM Watson, an AI tool.
13:47
And IBM Watson in 2011 beat the nation's best Jeopardy champions in a game of Jeopardy.
18:14
I received it.
27:31
Let you know, I go zero or agent, agent, agent, real person,
27:35
real person.
27:37
But you are talking to the ones that aren't good.
27:40
So there are great AI receptionists now.
27:43
They haven't gone mainstream yet.
27:45
We're using them in our business.
27:46
I have one Leslie.
31:21
