@Michael-Girdley is back and we went even harder this time. I sent his ideas to my newsletter, you guys voted, and we only talked about the best ones.

We got into AI persona marketplaces, a MasterClass killer where you actually talk to Steve Jobs, the return of local journalism, an app that yells at you for getting distracted, negotiating 70% off college tuition, and why AI audits might be the best business any of you can start right now. One idea was so good I started building it in Claude while we were still recording.

Find Michael on X at https://x.com/girdley?s=20⁠ or at ⁠https://girdley.com ⁠. He’s also launching Bedrock⁠ (https://www.girdley.com/bedrock) for quality of earnings if you’re buying a business, and ⁠https://www.fixedlabs.ai/⁠ for AI audits.

Enjoy!

  1. UPDATE – We put together a step-by-step business plan for AI Marketplace! It also covers all the ideas from the podcast, so you can turn everything you heard into a clear, actionable plan. 6,000+ words & 24 pages – with charts and graphs and 50+ other ideas to launch in this space.

  3. Anyone can do this themselves with AI. They don’t need to pay. The issue with AI is that anyone can create anything, but can’t distribute it.

  6. I just had chat give me a really simple skin care routine. I'm sure that everyone can do this for themselves.

  9. 28:56 You guys are describing RescueTime. That program is a lifesaver for people with ADHD who work on computers for a living.

  11. Being able to negotiate college costs, wow! That would be incredible! I would absolutely sign up for that service!

  12. Also, it is clear neither of these guys know how AI works the more you feed it into a knowledge base AI is so inefficient. It read through the entire prompt for every question you ask it.

  13. Sorry, this is a bad idea. It will flop, oversaturated. Anyone can vibecode their own persona. Business owners want a result not an AI persona. Other techies that can provide code or basically type Eng can do that themselves. And this is so far from an OS. I started laughing when I heard that.

  14. Matrix.. where neo loads a persona of martial arts and becomes a Taekwondo expert.. this is still way ahead in future.

  21. 16:50 that may not be an accurate way to gauge volume. My woocommerce site randomly increments order numbers so there isn't a set pattern for people to extrapolate. Just fyi

  22. I understand not enjoying ketchup it’s one sided of my least favorite condiments!

  24. First timer.. enjoyed the show. I really enjoyed the chat about newspapers as I own a 80 year old African American newspaper transitioning to 100% online

  27. 6:33 Glenn Beck did this with his George Washington AI and recorded a podcast where they had a conversation.

  28. You could even make the QR codes dynamic, so parents can change the YouTube link to update it. Charge a sub to be able to update it.

  30. If you were a Canadian trying to get an e-2 Visa by starting a business in or around LA in California around a 100K investment, what kind of business would you look into?

  31. Step 1) research historical figure in NotebookLM.
    Step 2) Attach Notebook as a datasource in Gemini
    Step 3 ) Tell Gemini to act as the persona attached in the Notebook
    Step 4) Chat

    You could even create and share a Gem.

  33. Here is my problem, and my husband's too: we can actually make good things with our hands, not just resale, but actually make/create/build. I have made soap from scratch, baked goods, tamales, etc. He can make tools, parts, hydrographic drinkware, and rebuild and work on cars and classic cars, metal wall art, etc., but we just can't seem to sell it as much as others. We lack sales or marketing. I can create something all day, but selling it, that's a different story. Does anyone have tips or how-to videos on this? I'm trying to get a business started with my daughters for cupcakes and other sweets on a food truck !!!!Thank you for those with good advice and even though I feel I work so hard for little outcome I feel I need to change things and look at things different so I can try different methods.

  37. A very good episode, Chris. I really liked the discussion right at the end about things that differentiate mediocre YouTube channels from really popular ones … and one thing that never got mentioned was the host's enthusiasm and obvious pleasure in presenting. I'm sure you are human and have your"off" days, but you always hide them well. Thanks for the hard work and the continual positivity.

    And the comment thrown in almost at the very end, about malls being dead? So true. It's been a couple of years now since I was last in the Statea, and the few open malls then were even more B*O*R*I*N*G than before. I have always disliked malls … until I moved to the Philippines.

    Our local mall is the center of our attention for so many things, and even people with hardly two pesos to rub together will save up for visits to the mall. American mall managers and marketers ought to come here and see what can be done with a mall.

    You should take a working vacation and come here too …be sure to bring your kids too, they'll love it.

    Be well.

  40. Basically like the Tony Robbins AI… uses his voice and trained on a data set of his work using one of the base LLM models. Been out for a while now. For me the obvious move is the famous people idea… young people will want to feel like they are having private chats with thier idols of today, even science geeks like me while knowing this is a million miles off the actual Leonardo da vinci (and impossible to have his voice) but with all of his writings and a fake italian accent in English, askijg about his ideas, asking him to go the next step, what he thinks of todays world etc etc would be so interesting, same with Einstein… I even think they will bring out products that have you journal everyday or feed past journals into a programme that can take all of your own words and let you "live beyond the grave" there would have to be a lot of safeguarding around this for grieving people like only available 1 year after the persons death so at least some healing has taken place and you dont get attached like its actually them… it wont be long until you get the voice exactly the same, if they have this product years in advance it would be scarily real, especially with all the updates and new breakthroughs over the years, might even have their face and expressions like holly off red dwarf or even a hologram version of the person you lost. I can imagine there will be a lot of legalities around this idea but its one that would 100% take off! Who wouldnt do anything to have a shell of the person the lost back? Their face, their laugh, thei expressions, their voice, their own words! Thats an idea that will happen… if its ilegal the black market will find a way. We cant have that kind of technology that can make us feel like having a piece of them back and not build it! Almost every human feels the loss of a loved one so deeply it hurts forever it never fully heals… every grieving person would pay a premium to feel like its them (like inception, his wife) i just dont know if it would be an amazing thing or be an unhealthy thing, it could make grieving easier it could make it worse! I still it will happen…
