Well. Hello, and welcome to the Success for Women's Show, where you can view us on Talk for TV and listen to us on the Women for Women Network. I am doctor Madline Ann Lewis your host, and my mission is to help women accelerate the path to success. Well, today's topic is how AI Artificial Intelligence transformed me and my guess is Miss Alicia Silberg. Let me just give you a little bit of background on her. Alicia Silberg is a cross between a survivalist and an industrialist.

3:02 Someone who's had who has had to innovate and use whatever resources are available because she had to. And she is someone who sees opportunities in the marketplace and capitalized capitalizes on those opportunities. Alicia is the founder and CEO of Unemployable AI, specializing in harnessing artificial intelligence to drive growth, scalability, and profits for companies. She is also the founder and general partner of the investment firm Street Global, a leading venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, where she mentors tech startups and helps them to go public as a powerful thought leader, She is a United Nations Women Empower Women Global Champion and an international board director with Sovereign Wealth Fun Experience. Alicia's recently released multi award winning book, Unemployable How AI Transformed My Work and Life, details her heroin and inspiring life story and is a guide to infinite success and personal development. I'd like to bring on to

4:36 the show, Miss Alicia Silberg, thank you for hosting me. I'm absolutely ecstatic to be on a show that's so powerful and so important in the world. So thank you, thank you for being here. It is just awesome to have you here today, just to have a conversation with you. Pick your brain, see what's going on. So before I get started, though, I always give my audience the standard bio on my guests, but then I like to ask the guests, so here's the question to you. Tell us what you want us to know about Alicia Silberg. I'm an ordinary person who figured out very early on that technology, especially AI, could enable me to achieve extraordinary things in the world, and I wanted to share that with everyone around me, so that if you have massive dreams and at times where you're like, how am I actually going to accomplish those dreams, there's something called AI which gives you superpowers, and I'm a living proof of that concept.

5:46 Wow. Now I have lots of questions for you, but I just have to ask you this AI artificial intelligence. I mean, this is something now that everybody's kind of talking about your seeing it a lot, I for one, need to learn more about it. So tell me why why artificial intelligence? What made you kind of grab on to that industry. So my journey with AI with technology started very far away from Silicon Valley, as you briefly mentioned. I grew up in South Africa and I bought one of the first AI companies, which was focusing on helping sales people do a better job in terms of closing deals. And it was an incredibly interesting experience because I wasn't a naturally born salesperson, but I understood that I wanted to get better, and so it fed my curiosity and on a deeper level, I was constantly asking questions in terms of how do we democratize this to you know, share it with other people, so that it wasn't something just for the elite.

6:51 It was something that everyone could participate in. And so I went down a rabbit hole and became more and more of an obsession with me and eventually we saw old Xaling Force that's one of the first AI companies like of its kind in the world. And then I went super deep and I found on Street Global, which was focusing on AI starts. Very early on, people thought we were crazy. You know. I had conversations with founders. I go to investors and I say, do you want to invest in this AI company? And they were important healthcare companies and companies doing important stuff, and people thought, you're all nuts. This will never work. And today we laugh because you know, now it's so mainstream. But it was. It was a trial by fight, and you had to truly believe in a better future where you could see, okay, this is ultimately going to be for the betterment of humanity and stand by it and continue to build in an ethical way. And so the more I went into it, the more I was like, this is incredible. I want to do more, which led me to, you know, of course, to write the book, and that led me, of course to build another AI company because I saw the importance of getting this technology into people's hands and to make sure that no one's left behind, which is an obsession with me. M wow, I mean as I mean, it's such I guess, I don't know. Do you feel that you have to be technologically savvy to be able to understand it? Or can you know, an ordinary person, can you plug me off the street

8:24 and say, sit me down and say I can show you how to do this and it'll be clear enough where I would be able to do and say in my business, absolutely, And I think that was the importance of writing the book. Where people perceive me as being very technical, I'm not. I'm surrounded by very technical people, which is why I could see that I wasn't technical. What I was was very good at was having an obsession with learning and having a growth mindset. And I think those are the two key factors that a person needs to ask themselves do I possess me two things. If you do, the sky is the limit for you. It literally the future is limitless for you. And yes, I could sit with anyone right now and say, okay, let's sit together and tell me something you're trying to achieve where you feel stuck, and then I'd pull up you know, GPT. We can talk more about that, and I'd say, let's build a custom GPT for you to solve this problem. And if it's the right problem, we could rapidly. It takes me probably like ten minutes now to build a custom GPT, and rapidly the person would be sitting with me and they follow. It's super simple to do. It's not a technical thing.

9:35 It's literally just a step by step process where like like a recipe, You open a recipe book and you're like, hey, there's a recipe. I'm going to follow that recipe, and you're going to follow the recipe I show you, and you're going to build something that can then be used by you to solve a problem that's been frustrating you. And then you can say to the people around you, whether it's your employees or whatever the case may be, to use this custom GPT and they can use it as well. And suddenly you've created something that's very scalable, that's taken your knowledge and you've put your knowledge on steroids. And it wasn't difficult. The most difficult part of it was being open minded enough to say, am I going to be uncomfortable for the next ten minutes because it's new and you know, you're creating new neural pathways in your brain. It's just a new way of doing things.

10:26 But how you need to see it is, once upon a time, we're all new to computers, and we all had to like take that leap of faith, and then you got it, and then you're like, oh my word, this is like the coolest thing I can do. All these things it's the same thing. It's a new way of interacting with the machine, and for many people, a simpler way. I find this extremely easy, and everyone around me does too. Wow. You know it's amazing that you said about being able to use it. Say, for example, if you wanted to scale something in your business. For example, I was just talking someone about that earlier today. I was in a meeting and we were talking and I was telling him some things that I wanted to do in my business.

11:09 And one of the things he was saying about he was talking about, you know, the first thing you need to do is have your operating system, and so what you do can be duplicatable. And so just from listening to what you just said, it sounds like AI can do that. I mean, if you you know, put it in a program or program it in such a way that it can show me what I need to do to do what we were talking about. This is I'm just amazed at this. I really, I really am. I mean, it's like wow, So tell me how has your challenging upbringing and experiences shaped your message and your journey today. So absolutely they played a massive role, and I don't It enabled me to see, oh, where I was versus where I wanted to be.

12:09 And I realized very early on that if I only looked around me, my circumstances were very bleak. It was like a dead end life. And so it enabled me to be incredibly creative in terms of opportunities and saying, okay, again, this is where I am, this is where I want to be. I know my strength, I know my weaknesses. I'm very good at finding mentors. My entire life of being able to reach out to the right people. But at the same time, I was very disconnected from the end goal, and so the idea that I could figure out, what is out there that can help me leverage my network, that can help me leverage my skills, what's that missing piece and can I use that missing piece.

12:52 So it's such a silly example and it's in the book, but we're sitting in South Africa. My father just died. It was very difficult set of circumstances. We were going to lose everything, We're going to end up on the streets. My brother and I were very creative founders. He was seven years older than me, and there was an internet cafe just a block down from our shop, and we were desperate, very desperate circumstances, and between the two of us, we're like, there's this thing, it's the Internet, and well, our circumstances are so bleak, why don't we use this thing to actually improve our lives? And so there was the technology leverage. At the same time, we had entrepreneurial skills, so we had a business which we needed to save, and so we used our skills to reach out to these suppliers in Asia. So my dad's shop was a costume store and pharmacy and we reached out to these suppliers and we said, can you supply us with samples? And so we started importing all these samples and we enabled the business to succeed. We took the business to Canada. We supplied the movie industry in Canada. Why do I tell you that because it was that same idea. You have an idea and you need leverage, and the idea that the leverage is never in our lives has leverage been easier to obtain than it is now. You have the Internet. You have over three billion people on the Internet, so you always have a supply of customers. So you've got your supply of customers, and you have AI which will lose all the barriers to entry. So, for example, if you want to create

14:24 a website and you're not a designer, well there's AI now that can create a website for you in less than five minutes. You just need to know what you want in that website. Oh, you need content created for that website. THEAI can help you with that. Each one of the steps that before you'd have to figure out, find the right person to support you, at an individual, you can be like, I've got the leverage, now, which are the key people can help me take that leverage to the next level. And that's been that's been the gift that came out of these very harrowing circumstances that I can say to people, now, Madland, tell me what you're trying to in your business right now, Let's do a real life case study and what you want to achieve, and let's figure out which AI tools are the best AI tools for you to get the results as rapidly as possible. You're this huge thought leader, let's make it even bigger using the power of AI. Wow. That is it's kind of mind blowing. I mean, you know that's incredible. It really is. Wow. So what advice can you share with other women looking to break barriers in especially male dominated industries like the tech industry and venture capitalists investors. So I think for me, the biggest thing is that it's given me superpowers. So I'll give you a real life example. I see the AI as a tool for exceptional personal and professional growth. And let's take my journey with Silicon Valley. Can really

16:00 bring it home and you can see how really practical it is. I went to Silicon Valley. It was a dream to Bold, the venture capital firm, and from day one I realized this out of my depth. I was going to fail. It was inevitable. I was just like everything around me with the standards were extremely high, the competition, the capital, everything, and I'm a very good researcher, and I was like, I'm going to fail. I'm going to There's no way it's going to work. So I started reading between two hundred and five hundred pages a day of research, but at the same time I needed to continue building whatever was building. I realized pretty rapidly, I'm not going to get through all this information. So what didn't I do? Okay, let me find an AI tool that can help read to me because I'm an audio based learner, So that sped up the process. Already, I loaded in research every single day and I started reading it while I was like walking to yoga wherever I needed to go. It enabled me to go at double the speed and at the same time at AI, which was summarizing this information, so I had summaries in terms of what I needed to know. And I kept going like this. My interactions with other people, I came from a different culture. We speak very differently in the Commonwealth to how we speak in the US. I was struggling, I was failing to convey what I needed to convey. I enabled myself to create an AI writing assistant, so for my text messages, for my emails, where I was rarely struggling, I suddenly was excelling the research. I mentioned brainstorming again, I need an AI brainstorming tool. And each one of these

17:34 things they were very early, but at the same time they were good enough to help me build my business and put my business on steroids. Now, if you think about the investing, I never told anyone I started using AI for investing very early. And you know, people picture hedge funds like for example, Renaissance Technologies, or they picture Bridgewater and they say, well, they have billions of dollars under man management. That's how they built all this AI technology and they were able to invest this way. Actually, I was doing the same thing on a much smaller scale because it came from a place of survival, and so in terms of breaking into bench capital, in terms of breaking into tech, I think what I learned was that I did what I needed to do for my business to succeed, and I focused on solving my own problems with the lens to what can help me achieve the next milestone on my journey to success. I had that big dream and I was like, I'm going to fail if I don't use this technology in the process.

18:38 It enabled me to excel. It enabled me to engage with people in a very different way because they respected me. They respected my ability to say I want this so badly that even if there are barriers, even if there are things that are in this world as they stand, I am using whatever skills and knowledge I have in order to get the result I want. And so, for example my confidence, I have an AI coach which has It's incredible what I've done with this AI coach, because as a woman, I can be very hard on myself. So I track every week, like on a daily basis as a CEO, how am I doing, and so I can be I can rate myself. I keep it very simple. Out of ten on average, I break myself forty five out of ten. My AI coach looks at this, my AI coach, because I'm sharing everything and this is all doable. Please understand this is not anything special. My AI coach ranks me between like seven and eight, and so at the end of the week, we do a strategy session, me and my AI coach. Okay, here's some feedback. And I have a human coach. So when we notice a pattern in terms of you know, lack of self worth, imposter syndrome, these kinds of things where okay, this is an ongoing problem. I have a human coach who's very comfortable working as my AI coach, I give him a list and I'm like, Okay, these are the challenges that I'm continuing to face. Can you help me. He's worked with me on affirmations where it's like, Okay, keep practicing this affirmation, keep doing this,

20:08 and we've built this dream team where then okay, I do my session of my human coach, and then I go back the following week and I'm working with the AI coach. And so the human coach is very excited because he's getting the benefit of seeing the AI at work in terms of things he wouldn't be aware of otherwise, and so he's getting that help. At the same time, the AI is like seeing me grow, helping coach me. And as far as unemployable AI goes I have seen exponential growth in the business because I could get out of my own way. Even when I wasn't aware I was in my own way. I thought I was doing a great job, but there were times where I'd run into my own barriers. And so as far as getting into bench capital, into tech, it's a matter of are you passionate about it? You want it? Really bare me because I think that it's an incredibly important thing, like what is your intention? And then at the same time saying, okay, how do I get started and I'm using custom GPTs is a very simple way, But that's the easiest way because it's your own it's your own tool you creating for yourself that no one can no one can take from you. And each time you create one of these tools, you empower yourself more. You're saying, I am taking ownership of this, I am preparing myself for the next coming decades and whatever you are trying to achieve. If you're a CEO, if you're an employer at a company, whatever the case may be, that's your toolkit and that makes you more valuable in the workplace. So as far as that goes, I think

21:41 a very different opinion to everyone else. But at the same time, I think the proof is in the putting and it's working absolutely. And that leads me into my next question about how do you see technology and AI as a great equalizer? And I know it seems like you kind of said some of it, but tell us how do you see it as an equalized I think the idea that it can you can leverage it for so much personal and professional growth, the idea that it levels the playing fields. So you know, many people are very frightened right now, are losing their jobs. Yeah, I live in la and I'm seeing it. You know, in terms of the production companies. The job's not coming back. People are talking to me the whole time. And if I have a very different pisis and it may be founded in the fact that I came from, you know, poverty.

22:34 And my thesis is the jobs of the future haven't even been created yet, and that's what makes it so exciting. So if you say to me, Elisia, what is your job, like, tell me what you actually do for like twelve thirteen hours a day, what would you call your job? I pull myself a model manager. Now what does that mean? Two years ago? Five years ago, ten years ago, we wouldn't even have no netter. That means that someone like you comes to someone like me and says Alisia, I'm extremely good at what I do. I have a big business. I want a bigger business. At the same time, these are the frustrations, these are the biggest pain points in my business. These are the biggest bottlenecks. I want you to help me solve it with AI. Well, I sit down and then I work with you. I get to understand your business at a very deep level. I get to understand you. I get to understand where you try to go, and then a build a blueprint generated by me and the AI together with you. It's work, but it's basically understanding the business at are very deep level and everything you want to achieve.

23:37 I come back to you, I say, Madeline, here's a blueprint of how the AI sees your business and these are the priority areas. Do these priority areas line up with you? And you go yes, I think this is priority number one. I think this is priority number two. I think this is prior to number three. So say, for example, you say your priority number one is you want to raise more capital. That's a big thing. Okay, So how does that make the world a better place? Okay? So prior to this, you would have had to go into the market and you'd have to raise capital in the traditional way. It's a very frustrating, painful experience to raise capital, and anyone that's done understands it's really wears you down and takes extreme amounts of self discipline and self belief and conviction to do it. I looked at this and I was like, there has to be a better way. How do I give Madlen what she needs?

24:29 She wants capital? Well, I understand the fundraising process extremely well. Can I chart out the fundraising process? And can I ensure that the AI does eighty percent of the hard work to ensure that Madlon gets the results she wants? Absolutely? How did I do that? I built that process. I understood it, and I built that process. So I come to Madden and I say, Madlin, I want you to sit on this webinar, and I want you to pitch to these investors. And these investors who are showing up on this webinar are people who have been curated by means of AI. So you are not going to be pitching to people who don't like what you're doing, who are going to say no? Who are the people on this webinar have been selected by the means of a substantial amount of work building AI models, so that those people you are pitching to are people who want to be investors in your company. And the questions you are being asked are being asked by people who again want to be investors in your company. And so for me, how how does it create change? This is a perfect example and it's living proof of saying okay. The world before AI looked a certain way. There were things that needed to be done in order for companies to be built, which were excruciating for a substantial number of people. And now, as a result of the AI, it enables people to do things that we couldn't do before. It's practical. And what is the result?

25:52 As I say to the customers we work with, did you get the capital or didn't you get the capital? Were did you get more meetings than you would have gotten? How will you treated in those meetings? Did it converts to the end result you wanted? Is that money in the bag? Can you deploy that money into building your business or your fund? Iff it happens to be a fund and for me, it's like the most important thing. And I know I hold AI to a very high ball. Was this practical? Did you, as the person, as the human get the result you'd want it? It's all that matters. Wow. So tell me if say, for example, you already have Okay, you're in business, and you have a program that you created, like an online course, let's say an online course, and you want to update that online course. You know, maybe you did it a couple of years ago, and you want to make it more relevant, more current. Can you just build an AI program to go in and look at this course and say, okay, here's what I already have, bring it current updated. I mean, can you do that?

27:10 Absolutely? Let's give you a real life example. So I had I've had the book I wrote, and I used an AI editor for that. As I said, no, AI wrote the book one hundred percent human written, but I was using AI tools in terms of ensuring that the reader got the most value out of it. Let's take for example, this new book. So I have the old book, which you know, the current book which I've written. So I've built a custom GPT and I've said to this custom GPT. My goal with this new book is to be extremely practical, like every single thing I am doing to build unemployable AI every single day. So I have thousands of custom GPT chats and thousands of AI tools. I need you to look at this stuff the whole time. And I have an outlined for this new book which I've given you, and I'm going to to basically give you my old book. I'm going to give you all these chats, and I want you to consolidate this into something that I can take the first two chapters to my human editor and say, to my human editor, I wrote this as my new book. These are the first two chapters, taking into consideration everything I did with my original book and everything I do every single day to ensure that it's super practical. And somebody can look at these first two chapters and say, wow, at least he's doing this right now in her business. I can go and replicate this in my own business right now. And so none of this is complicated, none of it. It's

28:40 very simple. It's a matter of knowing the psychology of how do I actually do this or you know the steps to knowing how to do this, But in your situation. It's extremely straightforward. It's a matter of again being willing to say, am I comfortable sharing my course with an AI? So that's the first thing many people say, comfortable. I don't want to share my course with the AI. What you can do, is what I found to work extremely well, is to say, can I get this all done in thirty days? If you can get it done in thirty days, you can use that chat, get the value out of the chat, and then say at the end of the thirty days, I'm going to delete this chat because I've gotten everything I need out of it and the job is done. So with your course, it's extremely easy. It's unfortunately we can't do a live demo right now. We could do a webinar or something together, and I could actually show you how if we take your course, we'd work through it step by step in terms of what you want to change, what your vision is, what you want you where do you want the AI's help. So it is very clear in terms of its role and your role, and it could be done. As I said, I haven't seen the content, but I would say we could get it done in a couple of days maximum, where I know what this kind of thing would take in the bars, it will be a substantial amount of work, and it's just at the point where it's like we would literally just sit together and it would be the most important part of me is you would have fun. That's the thing that everyone needs to understand. You getting the result you want can be a very fun experience

30:11 versus you know, it can be very taxing when you want the goal, but you're like you're going through the process of getting it and the idea that you finish, you've got your updated course and then you can take it to your students and everyone you want to sell it. You can you know, put on your website. And that's delightful. Wow, that's incredible. That's incredible because actually I've been looking at my course and I've been saying that very thing that I need to sit down and go through it and you know, update it. And now you're telling me that if I, you know, had an AI program chat GBT, I could do that in a matter of days. Wow, that would be incredible because you know, the work would go into it, if I had to sit down myself and go through it, or you know, it would just take a long time. So that is wow. So tell me what inspired you to write Unemployable and what do you hope the readers will take away from it. I was obsessed my entire life. I've seen myself as an educator and like, you have a larger mission and you you know, I'm so inspired by your work in terms of empowering over a million women. For me, it's about promoting AI literacy and empowerment, you know, like AIS transform my life and it's given me touch joy, Like I just feel such a sense of gratitude that I get to do this and I get to live at this time in history, and the

31:42 idea that I can spread that and share that with other people was incredibly important to me. You know, I get to spend my time was a dream for me to spend my time with the smartest people in the world. But at the same time, the world is going to change in a way we've never imagined before as a result of the AI and the idea that I had the capability, I had the platform to be able to share that with other people was extremely important. The idea that I could take other people on their journey, and like we have in this conversation, you've got this very important platform to be able to say to you, Okay, let's help you do your course so you can get it into more women's hands faster. That's a very important thing for me. And I think when I see the impact that the book's having, when I see the impact that the AI is having, and seeing, for example, like you're saying it, like women saying, Okay, I'm going to incorporate this into my business right now because I need to spend my time on the twenty percent that's most important to my business in terms of growth, in terms of revenues and profitability, and let me get the AI to do the work that I don't have the time to do or don't want to do, so that I can be my most effective self in achieving my goal. For me, it's just it's just been such an critical part of building unemployable They are Wow. So how can others discover and unlock their inner super powers a lot of like you did with a high How can

33:15 others do the same thing, especially when you know we always need that extra something to help us out. You know, the way you gave me the challenge you're dealing with. I think that's a brilliant starting point because it makes it so easy sit down and say to yourself, what are the biggest problems I'm experiencing right now? What are the biggest challenges? And for me, you know, I'm obsessed with building companies, so I'd say think about it from a career perspective or from a business perspective, because that that's a way of like starting. And I've also noticed with the AI, like as I said, I keep saying custom GPTs, but it's such a comfortable, safe place to get started that are highly recommended. We're saying, okay, these are my two to three biggest challenges. Now which one inspires me the most to solve for? So one of them will always be the big one that you want to go after. Then, as I say, we can do another session where I can take you through it live in terms of solving for it. Say, for example, it's getting more customers. You're like, okay, I want to grow my business. I want to get more customers.

34:17 This is a problem for me sitting down and saying to Bolding this custom GPT and saying, Okay, this is my business, this is what I do, this is what makes me special in terms of this business. I think this is what is unique in terms of the market and what I do for customers. Can you help me scale my business and you'll start converse with it as if it's a friend. That's a very important part of it, and I think that's why I've been very successful at this where I wasn't uncomfortable with the idea that it was a machine, but I was having a conversation with someone that happens to be much more intelligent than me, and so being able to be vulnerable and seeing it as a safe place is also are really important. So I don't recommend in sharing anything personal, but at the same time, sharing enough that the machine understands what your goals are, what you're trying to achieve, and where you see is your strengths and weaknesses. And that's a starting point because immediately you'll start getting feedback and the more you play with it, the more you do it. So every day, sated yourself.

35:20 I'm going to dedicate ten minutes to this conversation every day, and I'm going to see it as the best strategic partner I can find. So I treat all my ais as like my co founders in building my company, and so I treats it as if, Okay, I have this problem right now, I have this this week, for example, where I have this extraordinary employer. She's absolutely amazing, and she's been outgrowing the position she's in and she needs more opportunity. And I knew it. I knew. I think she's absolutely phenomenal. You came to me and she's like, I'm feeling stuck, like I love what I'm doing, feeling stuck. And I was like, what are your superpowers? And she said, WI wants to stuper into the law, and she's super into human rights, like super into. She wants to potentially go into an NGO, and she like effect change on a global scale in these global organizations. Mm hmm. I was like, I can see this as a human but at the same time, like I don't know how to give her the right advice, and I see myself as her mentor and she's got unlimited amounts of potential. I've sat down and I specifically both accustomed GPT for this thing, explained the entire situation to the GPT.

36:30 I said, she's phenomenal. I want her to stay on the team, but I also want her to reach her full potential. This is what she's told me in terms of her career and what she wants to achieve. Help me, help her. So we looked at it and we're like, you know, AI is a perfect place for her to be doing this because legal there's so much now happening in terms of the actual legal side AI impacting companies at the same time as far as impacting from it and rights perspective in terms of you know, like transparency, all these things, biases, all these things. And I took a step back, and the AAR said, well, how about we position her role for her to do more of this kind of thing within the business. And I was like, I'm blown away, Like these are such important things in our business and it's kind of been a blind spot for me as a human because I felt like it was being taken care of. But at the same time, she is someone that can hold us to accountable at a completely different level because she's so passionate about it.

37:30 I went back to her and I was like, well, how do you feel about us enhancing your position where you can be the strategic thought leader because you're doing all this research every week advising us in terms of ethics in terms of the legal side of ar and go super deep in terms of what we can leverage this knowledge that was me using my superpowers where I could do certain things I couldn't do other things. And as a result, I've got an employee who's thriving, who's growing in the business, taking on a bigger leadership role. And anyone can do this way. You see a problem because the problem in your superpower is speak to one another. It's really weird. But people often say to me, like, how do I find a superpower? And I'm like, take a step back, think of what your biggest problem is, because in that finding that biggest problem, secretly or quietly, your superpower is sitting there with it. Because you wouldn't be so passionate about solving that problem if it wasn't related to your superpower. And then say, okay, this is my starting point before you know it. If you keep doing it for like ten minutes, day, six months time, whatever that goal was associated with solving that problem, I guarantee you you're going to be very successful. Wow, that's amazing. That is amazing. So can you share an example with us of how you overcame limitations and what others can learn from it. I think the biggest thing was, for example, as I mentioned it, how I was going to fail in bolding my dreams, you know, building, investing in startups, investing in people solving the biggest challenges in

39:05 the world was extremely important to me. I was a kid that grew up in a third world country and I saw huge problems, and I just I had this dream of coming to this amazing country and being able to participate in all the things that you know. I was walking down the street today, I'm like, I'm in California and their palm trees and I have to often rub my eyes because I'm like, I can't believe, but I literally, yeah, those palm trees are real and I get to see them every day of my life. And for me, the idea that I was going to fail if I never if I never succeeded and used whatever I could. I think when it comes to the investing, I'm particularly proud of the fact that I built. I built AI tools that most people would think I would be impossible. So let's take one I built this week, which was just fun and people can use it and can try it out. So I'm an early stage AI. So I ran two companies, says you know, I run the venture capital firm and I run unemployable AI. So I'm very busy.

40:05 At the same time. If you look at what's happening in AI, the public markets is where all actions taking place. So Microsoft, Google, in Vidio. I like, there's a ton of action taking place. Now I don't have time to invest in the public markets. Know how to invest, but I don't have time. And that's you know, it bugs me because I'm like, hey, I'm an investor. I want to participate in it. There's a lot of money to be made. I said to myself, I'm going to do something about this. So I have my early stage investing knowledge and I was like, I'm going to boild this custom GPT, and I have insights from you know, the smartest people in the world. I listen to a ton of podcasts. I'm going to like we were saying about your course, I'm going to consolidate all that information. I'm going to share it with this custom GPT. I'm going to say, let's run an experiment, very small sums of money, but let's do it in a public way so people can see us do this and let's create an investing portfolio focusing on the public markets which can help us capitalize on AI. Let's see if we can make money in the public markets when I don't have time to do with this. And at the same time, you will be our chief investment officer, so I have my knowledge, you have your knowledge, will use the power of the internet, and we are going to see what we can create out of this and going to build a portfolio. It was absolutely mind blowing because the investments that it chose versus the investments I would choose. I was like, this is really intriguing. This is an experiment running. As I say, we've started around this experiment. I'm getting the AI to help me balance the portfolio. See every quarter I share everything with the AI. I'm

41:38 not compare. Let's balance the portfolio. It took a strategic role in US and I'm intrigued. I would love for your listener's also to participate. You can log into this custom gptavolve and you can ask your questions right now. You can go and you can say, Okay, this is what I'm hearing in AAR when it comes to AI in the public markets. This is what I read on the Wall Street Journal. This is what I read, Yeah, Bloomberg, what do you think about it? It will answer you and it will give you feedback. And we don't know. We don't know, as I say, how this will play out. It may make us our little portfolio a lot of money. So it's every single month, it's just doing, you know, like investing small amounts of money automatically into these companies.

42:19 And as I say, the part that I will have to participate in is rebalancing it. Where I will not be in charge of rebalancing. I will be in charge of, you know, like getting it all the data it needs. That's my responsibility to ensure it has everything eats. I'm in charge of ensuring that all the early stage information is constantly sharing it. And that was an example, as I say, where you ask me about overcoming limitations, what was the limitation? The limitation was I don't have enough time in my life to capitalize on my very valuable knowledge in the public markets. Even though there you can look at Facebook makes fifty billion dollars in a day, like that's where the money is being made in AI. So I'm working here helping my companies. I'm bulling my own company. I don't have time to capitalize on something that a rightfully could be able to capitalize on. And so that is a perfect example of using the power of AI. Now it sounds extremely complicated, and please understand, it wasn't. I understood the steps going back to educating people. I understood, Okay, how does this work?

43:19 What is my problem? What is my goal? Can I write it down? You're very talented. Can you systematically write down what your problem is that you need to achieve? What was my problem? I have no time? What was my problem? Money's being made in the markets? What was my problem? Up on key track in this every single month? It needs to be automated. So use already four simple problems that the AI can address. And what was my goal? I want to make money out of the public markets? Can you help me do this? And was I willing to take a small risk? I was like, Okay, these one hundred dollar begs, this is not a lot of money. Let me see why it comes out of this? Can this actually work? Can a normal person who is not on Wall Street, we doesn't have access to a hedge fight?

44:00 Can they do this for themselves? Perfect example of overcoming my own limitations in order to achieve my goals. Wow, that's amazing. That is amazing. You are giving us so many great nuggets here. It's just it's really blowing my mind here. But it is really this is great. There's just so many questions. I have enough time to get into all of them. But if you had tell us, if you had one piece of advice that you could, you know, leave with the women out there that's viewing you as it relates to AI, what would that one piece of advice be. Don't be a AI, embraces go on it, go with it. So what's next? Anything on the horizon? I know you have the Unemployable AI.

44:58 Is there any other books coming out? Anything else we should be looking for on the horizon? Yes, new book is I'm working super hard with it and I would love for you all to participate in it. I would love your feedback because at the end of the day, that's why I've broken it up into, you know, multiple chapters. I want to get it into your hands. I want you to be using the information. I want you to come back to me and say this is working for me. Our businesses are succeeding, We're doing this. It's exciting. So new book, extremely excited about it. I'm doing a lot of webinars, I'm doing a lot of workshops where there's a need message me and say Elisia, this is where a group of women we're doing this cool thing. We need your help.

45:38 Can you just like show up virtually put us all on the court, and we want to learn how to do this for ourselves. So I'm very aligned with you. Where you talk about you one million women, I'm very aligned if I can get a million women doing this for themselves, for the as a So I'm obsessed with companies, building companies, you know, helping the employees just like excel using the power of AI. I would be extremely excited. Wow, that's good to know. That is good to know. So tell us if someone wanted to reach out to you to find out about all the things that you're going to be doing, your webinars, your workshops and different things like that, how can they reach you? And also to get your book? How can they reach you? So to reach me, I have an AI inside and newsletter every week. I highly recommend you sign up for it because we put a ton of work into ensuring you get a lot of knowledge and value from there.

46:43 We have a lot of messages coming through, and put your ask in the message so I can actually make sure to answer your specific ask. And then the book. The easiest place to get the book, of course is on Amazon, but you can buy it all over online and get the book, read the book. Because my goal with the first book was the form a found trust. So it's very vulnerable in the book is very honest because I think as a woman, we need that sense of connection and community and seeing who is this posson and what is their goal, And so it was to start a foundation a relationship between me and the reader where we can go on that journey together, inspiring them and empowering them to fulfill their dreams. Absolutely well, thank you so much. It has been a pleasure having here on the show and talking to us about AI artificial intelligence. For those who need to know what the acronym stand for it is something that we've been hearing a lot about and I know a lot of us need to learn more about it, especially if we're in business. As you said, I'm sure it could do a lot for the business. So thank you so much for bringing that information to us. We really appreciate you. Thank you, Thank you.
