    It starts at 38 mins, which I hope this link jumps to. View: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=aRVx37zQGFE&t=2280&si=se7m3FkDcrnWu1-P I added the episode into NotebookLM and then asked it to summarise his tips for "AI startups". ... Based on the conversation with Jason Cohen in the provided...

    Hey, you're back? How's it going and what have you been up to?

    STORY 
    We've a few drainage guys as clients. Unblocking drains is their favourite job as they're in and out and can do a few a day. You don't have to be the guy getting your hands dirty. I deal with a lady in one family run company who doesn't go out to jobs. Heck, I'm in the niche and sit behind a...

    Apparently dog owners can live longer depending on which breed they own. My first reaction upon hearing that was that it must be BS. But it's more to do with how much walking various dog breeds need, which makes perfect sense.

    Go through videos on Dylan Davis's channel. Also get AI to help you understand AI. Ask it about the instructions in my opening post. Ask it how to tweak them for your own use case. Also check out my YouTube to NotebookLM thread if you want to get started fast with AI...

    We talk three times faster than we type. Which also means we talk three times as much in the same time. Another benefit of talking is we get into a flow and brain dump more freely when we know AI won't miss a beat. When we're typing we self edit as we go along, and a lot of thoughts don't...

    The first time I did this exercise as per Dylan's instructions it did act as the role I specified and brought insights and concepts/phrases I didn't know. Maybe something went awry when I turned his instructions into the instructions for the Gem and it leans more to being a sounding board...

    After a lot of faffing about I got a UK eSIM and a UK phone number on my dual SIM mobile. I then setup a WhatsApp Business Account with the UK number for dealing with UK businesses and consumers. I wanted a UK number for contacting consumers or businesses in the UK. If I rang or messaged from...

    Great. It's amazing how we often know what we should do but don't have the clarity. Are you talking to it or typing? I find it much better to talk to it.

    One of Dylan's other videos advises us to get AI to improve our prompts. ChatGPT and Claude have a button that does that. In Gemini I just ask it to improve a specific prompt. I also switched to Gemini as I like how it's part of Google's ecosystem, which I've gone all-in on. I've not even...

    Good idea. I've just made it public now! I can tweak it over time, and you can of course copy/paste my original instructions above and create your own version and tweak that. Let me know if this link works or not. I've not made a public Gem before...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    I agree with cutting 90% of desk research and spending more time talking to you market. I contend that helping your market is better than "talking to them" though. Are there online communities of them complaining about anything you can help with? Can you just start helping them? Busy...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    Yes. Just start helping people. You may find your "who" changes over time. Act, Assess, Adjust It starts with Act. I suspect you're stuck in a research loop because you're not taking Action (engaging the market).

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    What we're both saying is stop assuming you know who you're going to end up helping and what you're going to end up helping them with. Get started by helping people, ideally doing something people get paid for. Over time you'll figure out who'll pay you, who you'll like working with, what you...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    What are you going to help them with? Maybe do that rather than working on your own website? Personally, I prefer to let the niche reveal itself. Basically, say Yes to start and say No to scale. Maybe watch these: Start Faster. Stop "Learning". Selling Google Ads as a Service And maybe...

    Thanks @Dark Water. Funnily enough I watched that video this evening. I think Antigravity and NotebookLM is an amazing pairing. Is it just me, or is that guy really hard to follow. It seems like he talks a lot before he gets to the meat. Some people can just go live and talk without filler...
