all right guys welcome we’re glad to be
here Ron how you doing my friend good
Weather Update and Thoughts
morning doing well thank God the storm
is is through Florida just the
assessment’s going to need to be done
hopefully it’s not too bad yeah it’s
interesting I was watching the news
coverage this morning from the the
weather channels and quite frankly I
think it may even be as far as storm
surge wise it may actually be bad more
or damage wise it may have been worse on
the front or the back side of it more
than the front side because it the east
coast of Florida got whipped to death
with tornadoes and stuff yeah it’s all
bad so set we yeah we’re thinking about
all you folks that are down there
unfortunately with three pill three
million people out of power you may not
be able to hear us right now but we’re
thinking about you and praying for you
so Ron you’ve got some cool stuff I want
to talk about the the rest of your list
of fun things and uh let’s kick that
off all right let me know see the screen
Top Business Facts Countdown
it is there all right so we covered 1
through 10 uh week ago we’re going to go
through 11 through 27 pretty quickly
some of these things are just make you
think either you do remember or you
Interesting Business Facts
don’t but as of
2014 Apple had enough money to buy
Facebook Netflix Tesla Twitter Dropbox
Pandora Spotify combined with 59 billion
to spare obviously fast forwarding this
they might not have been able to buy
Facebook Netflix or or Tesla but
certainly most of these other companies
yeah and they probably could buy them if
they wanted to yep and who doesn’t love
the smell of coffee Dunkin’ Donuts in
South Korea started spraying coffee
Aroma to public buses every time their
jingle played coffee in sales increase
29% this is brilliant I love it yeah the
problem is what would make him possibly
go into Dunkin Donuts other than
listening to Commercial and associating
the smell they go anywhere and get the
coffee right that’s true but it’s great
that’s awesome marketing it’s like going
to Universal Studios where they spray in
the face on every ride and here’s
something fun smoke up baby in March
2014 Colorado sold 19 million worth of
cannabis 1.9 of those sales went to
schools and crime fell by
10% okay I’m not figuring the logic of
all that makes no sense well that’s
because they were a lot calmer but I bet
well they’re all stoned to the be Jesus
now at this point but yeah crime might
have gone down 10% but I think KitKat
and Snicker sales went up 30% yeah I’d
love to see the sales of all the the you
know just from the munchies in those
areas to see how it affected the economy
absolutely late night Wendy’s ah oh
shoot do I need to pay that cocacola
owns all the domain names that can be
read as ah such as a.com ah.
ah. and so on all the way up to 62 o
so they have the money for this but I
don’t know who the hell’s going to want
to to actually want that as their domain
but God Bless yeah and I’m just thinking
to myself I don’t associate ah with with
Coca colola but okay yeah but I think
you and I need to go get the 63rd H yeah
no kidding eventually they’ll figure
they need to do it yeah need a boost
it’s been scientifically proven that
praise rather than criticism is the best
way to help employees improve I think we
all knew that already yeah buying
seashells in London the Shell Oil
Company began as a novelty shop in
London that sold
seashells that I have no clue and it
began in London it’s a Dutch company
isn’t it yeah is outsourcing beneficial
the retail price for an iPad would be
$1,140 if American workers built it
instead of Chinese honestly I thought
that price would be low yeah so I guess
our government’s Theory now is that if
we import a whole bunch of Chinese
people then we can do stuff on site but
can’t do that they’ve got to afford
Burger King and McDonald’s every day
that’s true yeah when the workers at
Burger King and McDonald’s are making
$25 an hour that is correct all right
keep going oh we already did this one
Steve Jobs annual salary was $1 or just
enough to keep uh company health
benefits is your startup uh slow to is
is your startup slow to start up
Microsoft made
$16,500 for all those uh Tech weenie
Geeks like myself yeah and saw one of
those things how ugly those things were
there oh yeah and all was lights
flashing green or red certain amount of
times to give you a yes or no binary
answer Walmart Country if Walmart were
classified as a country it would be the
24th most productive country in the
world I think that’s probably higher
today I think so too
yep put down the butts the first Stoner
of the Marboro company died of lung
cancer yeah yeah actually my father
smoked marbor red for I don’t know 50
years or whatever my dad smoked filtered
Lucky Strikes until he was 64 years old
he didn’t die of lung cancer did he nope
he’s still alive God best thing that
ever happened he got he got bronchitis
one time and he was it was murder for
him and he was like you know what if I’m
ever going to quit smoking now is gonna
be the time and hadn’t smoked a
cigarette since my dad’s got stage three
COPD so yeah all right can’t finish
school Bill Gates the founder of
Microsoft was a College Dropout and so
was Mark Zuckerberg and a lot of other I
think M was too he went to the
University of
Texas
Compu yeah feeling wet behind the ears
Dell computers was started by a
19-year-old Michael del with ,000 little
foreshadowing are you a procrastinator
the Gmail logo was designed the night
before it was launched not that the logo
is anything special I was gonna say yeah
there the Google is just
their structure of how they do things is
just so simplistic and
it love your Louis Vuitton bag every
year Louis Vuitton Burns all their own
sold bags which is to prevent them from
being priced lower waste much screw not
giving it to the homeless so they can
carry all their crap in that’s ter oh
yeah that would be wonderful the
homeless walk see that in Beverly Hills
and in Scottdale but what can I tell you
yeah exactly all right only want to pay
$5 for dinner lentil as anything a
successful Australian restaurant allows
its customers to pay whatever price they
want to pay for their food okay I don’t
get that interest did not know that I
don’t know why and then one more Google
was originally called backrub aren’t you
glad they didn’t go with that name wow I
think if they would have done a Google
search for that maybe we would have come
up with something different and the
interesting thing is on the next show
I’m actually doing a segment on the best
business names of all time we go so this
just foreshadowing what’s coming up any
of them called backrub no there was no
backrubs in here and I’m still trying to
figure out how that I don’t get Googled
but I backrub makes no sense to me at
all yeah but here we go these are the
Jobs with the Most Projected Growth
jobs with the most projected growth from
my friends over at visual capitalist
again great stuff we got a couple more
of their slides so I think this should
be pretty obvious with all the Baby
Boomers retiring home health and
personal care aids caregivers No Doubt
software developers everybody’s got to
find a way to hack other people’s
software yeah strong Cooks was
interesting because I saw something
about three years ago about how they
were creating robots to cook food yeah
putting all the ingredients and it would
cook flip Burgers make steaks and
everything else so I thought that was
interesting yeah fast food and counter
workers now this is rather ironic
because anytime I ever go to McDonald’s
in the morning for my egg MC muffin and
my coffee they’re like did you want to
use the key ask and I’m like no I’d like
to give you the order cuz I want my
muffin well done you could request the
muffin well done in the kiosk that’s why
I’m up here I could have given you the
order
already yeah oh that besides you arguing
with me about this yeah and they want
you to use the mobile app yeah all right
anyway how many times I told them I want
one sugar in the coffee and they end up
putting one cream in and I got to go
back there we go this is awesome
actually you know what Joe peshi said in
Lethal Weapon 2 what they do to you have
the drive through window do it at the
drive-thru yes they that’s right this is
a kid show so we will not say what he
says they fudge you at the drive show
now I will tell you I thought registered
nurses would be up a little bit higher
yeah I I would have put it up there by
around home health and personal care but
to you and I Financial managers are in
there with all the talk of Robo
management and Robo allocation and all
that other BS we know at the end of the
day that people want to talk to people
they don’t want to just input 10
questions into a computer so it prints
out a plan and it’s interesting the what
I’m finding is the Gen
zers have more of a value of working
with an adviser you’ve just got to
figure out how to structure stuff to
work with them but I’m finding like
young professionals really want somebody
to guide them through the path whereas
there’s that kind of I guess us gen xers
we got to the point where it’s no we’ll
do it all ourselves but I’m finding the
later Millennials early geners really
actually value having an interaction
when it comes to they realize the value
of it at the end of the day if you’re
gonna go Robo you you don’t understand
the value of what we bring to the table
but that’s commercial for another time
yeah yeah all right so those are the
most projected jobs let’s forward here
AI Tools Discussion
so I thought this was interesting
because I’ve heard of three main AI
tools right obviously chat gbt and I
can’t figure out the difference between
chat gbt and open Ai and co-pilot I
don’t know the difference between all
three open AI is the company that owns C
GPT what about co-pilot yeah and then
co-pilot’s an offshoot of that with
Microsoft so that what’s the differ
between chat gbt and co-pilot it’s
basically the same technology it sits on
a a a chat GPT
technology which actually 90% of these
AI tools all set on top of chat gpt’s
technology okay and and then the other
two major tools that I heard of was
perplexity which a lot of people like
and Gemini I put Gemini there’s an app
you could put on I have an Android so
you can get Gemini on your phone you can
just download the app it’s pretty good
not bad and obviously on the Surface Pro
it uses a co-pilot but I thought it was
very interesting and maybe it’s just
because of the amount of Android phones
that are out there G I yeah they’re de
on everything so it’s a little bit of a
misnomer I think actual users it’s
probably a little bit less it’s just
they’re shoving in your face every time
you log on to any form of a a Google app
or anything like that there’s Gemini
that’s integrated I will say from being
a user I write books leveraging AI I’ve
Ed multiple tools the two that I use
from a writer’s perspective are uh chat
GPT which is hands
down light years ahead of all these
other ones in anything of a language
model um and then I use grammarly which
has begun to integrate a lot more AI
into it those are the two primary tools
I use I’ve plus I think grammarly helps
you proofread things too right yeah it’s
just it’s even even what you get from
chat GPT I’ll go in and edit it and then
I have to go through and edit myself
then using grammar lead to clean up the
grammar and everything else and it makes
me less wordy in the end but yeah those
are the two i’ I use Gemini mainly as a
super duper search Tool uh when I go on
Google because that’s always that first
result that comes up is Gemini looking
at everything and pulling it together so
you don’t have to go to 30 websites
anymore yeah no and I like it I still
have’t you’re more of a power user than
me if if even if you consider yourself a
power user but but the one thing I can’t
figure out I just wrote about this in my
quarterly
newsletter I could see the AI benefit to
businesses because I’ve seen a little
bit for myself you’ve seen it for
yourself now the big thing is how are
they going to monetize this for
consumers and are consumers going to
have the appetite to pay for this and
what are they really going to be using
it for other than maybe saying hey you
know what I want to buy ABC product find
me three vendors in a 10 mile radius
that have the best price for me and how
to negotiate that I can see yep but all
but in the grand scheme of things I
don’t know who’s going to want to pay
for this because we’ve become such a
subscription society that who’s going to
want another subscription for something
that they might not benefit from on a
daily weekly basis what are your
thoughts I would say it there will be
monetization down the road I personally
where I see the mon ization on a lot of
these things is the ability to take some
of the questions that are being asked
like a Reddit example they’re use Reddit
went public and really the monetization
for Reddit is going to be using that to
train some of these generative models
generative AI models so that it can
gather all that information of questions
and things like that anticipate answers
so I I don’t know where the mon ization
is in this I think there will be some
down the road I think they are getting
so good I pay 20 bucks for chat GPT that
is the most productive $20 I spend every
month honestly it is hands down I
literally use g chat GPT for 90% of my
activities on a given month everything
from writing to even managing portfolios
I leverage AI for that so it is an Godly
savings today from that perspective I
think where they’re going to monetize a
lot is taking those models combining
them together and adding those to the
business World bringing some of that to
the business world I don’t know if
people are going to be I think once
people start to use it and see the value
of it they would be willing to pay more
but it’s they’ve set the bar pretty low
to start with with this to gather or to
get more people involved in using it and
the more people that are using it it the
better it gets I’ve been using it now
for just a little over a year and a half
and how massively it has improved in
that time period is unreal you know what
like I said you’re using it for business
not personal so we will see exactly but
last is to use it yeah yeah just the
what are the industries that are going
to benefit the most y software I
understand semiconductors I get industry
energy okay utilities all right but I
find on the very bottom health care
equipment and services yeah it’s the
most underused in health which you think
it would be the most because of all the
data yeah that’s available so I thought
this was interesting but on the towards
the bottom there like food and beverage
and I I don’t know how that is going to
benefit at all again I just talk gave
you the example of McDonald’s and the
fast food about the kiosk and the mobile
app what is the AI going to do to
improve any I I don’t know we’ll see but
again I get some of those top but I
don’t know how REITs are going to
benefit from AI maybe finding
opportunities or how to run things more
yeah how to effic more efficiently
manage that process or whatever that’s
the only thing I could think of yeah so
anyway so that was the AI conversation
love it love it good stuff Ron thanks
for putting that together I really
appreciate it it’s it the jobs thing I
think was probably the most interesting
out of the whole thing of what the
future jobs are and it was funny how
registered Nur nurses and nurse
practitioners work towards the bottom
which I would have thought they’re so
understaffed in most cases it’s
amazing okay yeah yeah thanks guys we
