    Starting IMMEDIATELY with AI

    EXECUTION 
    My man. I know the urge to start with the technology and find the idea that fits it. I do it all. the. time. It never works out. The best thing you can do is find a need first. Don't worry about AI, it's trendy and has its uses, but it doesn't solve every problem and it doesn't improve every...

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Just started listening this week. I really like the style. When I start a podcast, I'm definitely taking some inspiration from you!

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    I looked into this a bit, and it looks like they are a) using a smallish quantum computer and extrapolating to a much larger one to make the math work, and b) using an algorithm that is considered unreliable at scale. Taking into account the standard box of salt you have to take with anything...

    Yeah I'm not particularly worried about AI "taking over the world" or whatever."

    I'm willing to believe that it wasn't a cyberattack. But only because my belief in the complete and total incompetence of every government branch and agency outweighs my distrust in everything they say.

    Kids Travel Kits (Parents would you want this)

    IDEA 
    Competing with smartphones is not necessarily a bad thing. (And I'm saying this as The "iPhone Guy"!) There's a lot of concern about children and screen time. I just drove 6 hours between my house in Jacksonville and my sister's in Charlotte, and both my kids were on their iPads the whole time...

    Put me down as an advocate for personal branding and strong opinions. People connect better with you when you show your face and your feelings. If you don't, there's always a question in your audience's mind. "This could be anybody. Or a bunch of anybodies. How do I know if they're even real?"...

    Saying it is nice, but saying it and then actually doing something is better. Doing something that works is best, but so far I haven't seen much evidence that any government can manage that.

    There are some weird shortages at my local grocery store (Publix. IYKYK, southeast US friends.) Deli turkey. Half and half, but not other types of milk. Eggs, yes. Children's tylenol. Someone out there is doing a really bad job.

    How many action fakes can the fastlane come up with??

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    I read too much. "Books make you smarter", and who doesn't want to be smarter? So I read the same seven books over and over, presented in the same ways by different authors, and don't get anything done because reading books is easier than doing something. Anyway. Sorry MJ, but I'm not gonna...

    You guys are trying to scam me

    MARKETING EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    Are they giving you any reasons why they don't trust you? My suggestion would be to break your work into more payments and more milestones. Instead of 50 upfront and 50 on completion, in your proposal you can lay out a timeframe with specific deliverables and require a payment at each one. They...

    Why does my mind go blank when its actually time to do the hard work?

    MINDSET 
    Hard work is hard. That's what keeps everyone from doing it! This happens to me in one of two ways. The first, my mind goes blank because it starts wanting to do other, easier stuff. Watch YouTube videos, research something or other, get distracted. Action faking. The other... I can get lost in...

    My man. My heart hurts for you reading this. I went through something similar back in the day, and I know that it says a lot about you as a person that you would comfort her at that point. I hope you don't mind some unsolicited advice. My bet is that you have all the tools you're going to need...

    Newsflash: Fastlane is your only hope. Not stocks, crypto, gold, or jobs.

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Just popping in to talk some crap about crypto. It's one of those things that applies very strongly to my personal beliefs and sensibilities. A currency with no government stranglehold over control?! Inflation-proof?! Easy, non-centralized storage and transfers?!! Sign me up!! In actual...

    Okay, so I just wrote a whole thing about my experience collapsing at a beach bar last year, read over it and deleted it. My situation was a combination of dehydration and hypertension meds, but the people at the bar (and my girlfriend) had no way of knowing that and called an ambulance. I was...

    Don't know what to do? Build a blog

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Love the advice. The hardest part though may be deciding what to write about. That's where I've always struggled in the past. So far, my answer to that has been: Doesn't matter, just start. Pick something you know and write about that. Then pick something else and write that. Keep going until...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    Something I found playing around with it last night. I used it to find a reference to a biblical story I vaguely remembered, and it found it easily. Then I got into a "discussion" (as much as you can use that term, I guess) with it about the meaning of the story. It had an interpretation, which...

    Mobile technology is my industry, so I remember this demo well. It was, frankly, absolutely stunning when it happened. The tech is called Google Duplex, and Google bills it as an AI assistant for tedious multistep tasks. There is a web version, which is apparently deprecated as of this month...
